Calu-6 is a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line that originated from lung metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma in 1971. It exhibits epithelial morphology and has the ability to express human renin mRNA with significant increases in its steady-state levels in response to cAMP analogues and adenylyl cyclase activators. Notably, Calu-6 carries a defect in the Fanconi Anemia (FA)-BRCA pathway, which plays a vital role in tumor suppression. The growth of Calu-6 cells can be effectively hindered by Pyrogallol (PG) or Antimycin A (AMA), providing potential avenues for inhibiting their proliferation.
