Abstract:
Objective To establish human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines,and to investigate the cell phenotypes and expression of tumor associated antigens. Methods Fresh tumor tissues from pathologically proven human RCCs were primary cultured and passed generation to generation until a stably grow in vitro.The cell cloning form,chromosome and graft into nude mice in vivo were examined for cell lines.Immunofluorescent stain and flow cytometric analysis were carried out for cell's phenotype,RT PCR examination for MN/CA9 gene expression. Results Six human RCC cell lines have been established,including four of the cell lines derived from clear cells,one from mixed clear granular cells and one from papillary cells.All the cell lines showed the characteristics of malignant cells.All the lines highly expressed HLA ClassⅠ and HER2/neu.Three lines weakly expressed HLA ClassⅡ and one cell line highly expressed CD86 but all the lines did not express CD80.RT PCR showed that three cell lines have the expression of MN/CA9 gene. Conclusions These newly established RCC cell lines would provide a useful in vitro model for studies related to biological characteristics,tumor associated antigen,immunogenity and immunotherapy of human RCC.
