Establishment of a new scirrhous gastric cancer cell line with loss of heterozygosity at E-cadherin locus.
International Journal of Oncology 2001 November
Scirrhous gastric carcinoma, characterized by carcinoma cell proliferation and infiltration with extensive fibrosis in the stroma, frequently causes peritoneal metastasis. We describe here a newly established cell line, OCUM-6, derived from ascites effusion of a scirrhous gastric cancer patient. The cells are floating and round shape, similar to other scirrhous gastric carcinoma cell lines previously reported. Histologic findings of xenografted tumor obtained from OCUM-6 cells showed medullary growth with a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma containing signet ring cells. LOH at E-cadherin locus 16q22 was observed in the OCUM-6 cells. LOH at E-cadherin locus might be closely associated with histologic findings and metastatic process of scirrhous gastric cancer. The scirrhous gastric cancer cell line, OCUM-6, may be useful for investigation of the mechanisms of peritoneal dissemination and carcinogenesis.
