Abstract:
Objective In order to provide experimental model for the research of Human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), characterize two newly human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines established from fresh tumor tissues of two patients with HCC infected HBV.Methods The two cell lines were analyzed by morphology, double time, isoenzyme pedigree(LDH), AFP、HBsAg detection, karyotype analysis, heterotransplantation utilizing hematoxylin and eosin、ELISA、flow cytometry、Southern blot and so on. Results The two cell lines have been in continuous culture over 50 passages, which showed typical epithelial-like cells in morphology; the doubling time of cell population were found to be 19.5~59.2 hours,which showed aneuploidy and revealed chromosome average number ranging from 50 to 105. Hepatitis-B-virus(HBV)DNA was integrated in the genomes of XMS-1.No lines produced alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) and HBsAg at the protein level.Their LDH isenozyme spectrum were similar to those of embryonic liver and clinical hepatoma with the increase of the percentage of LDH-1(H-type); Cell cycle analysis showed that the ratio of cells in S、G2-M phase increased for the both cell lines compared with healthy human peripheral blood lymphocyte; LXY-1 produced solid tumors after subcutaneous heterotransplantation into nude mice and the tumor formation ratio of heterotransplantation were 100%.Conclusions The two cell lines maintained the biologic characteristics as human hepatocellular carcinoma, and will serve as a model for further studies of HCC.
