Dear Li, each cell line is having different mutation/over expression of some genes and also its tumorigenicity is different. for example U87- wild type P53,tumorigenic, overexpression of EGFRvIII, U251-Mutant p53, tumorigenic, A172- non tumorigenic in immunosuppressed mice. I hope this asnwere will help u to understand these cell lines.
