Abstract Permanent cell lines TJ8510 and TJ861 derived from the original and recurrent malignant astrocytoma in the same case respectively have been established and characterized. There were same malignant character in both lines. As compared to the characteristics of original cell line (TJ8510), it was found that the surface structures of the recurrent cell (TJ861) were more complicated and had much more microvilli and globoid processes on surfaces in ultrastructural examination and showed a higher S phase fraction and colony forming efficiency. Most of the cells had a marker chromosome 11/1q and their model chromosome number was hypertriploid. The cells were resistant to BCNU as high as 50mug/ml. It is suggested that the stem cells of the recurrent malignant astrocytoma might grow from those original malignant tumor cells which were more proliferative, highly aggressive and had stronger resistance to BCNU.
Cell lines CVCL_B265; TJ8510
