Abstract:	At present, there is conflicting evidence whether microsatellite instability (MSI) plays a role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Here we describe for the first time an MSI+ phenotype in two breast cancer cell lines, CAL51 and MT-3, resembling that observed in colorectal cancers. These cell lines are characterized by near-diploid and hyperdiploid karyotypes, respectively. We detected MSI in these cell lines within two non-coding (BAT-25 and BAT-26) and within coding repeat sequences of genes known to be mutated in MSI+ cancer (TGFBR2, IGF2R, BAX). We provide evidence that the inactivation of MMR genes is responsible for MSI in these cell lines.
