Title Characterization of a new cell line established from a human urinary-bladder cancer, with special reference to metastatic ability to the lung.
Citation Hinyoki Geka 2:577-580(1989)
Abstract Tissue cultivation of human cancer-deficient cancer cells was performed to establish a human cancer-derived cultured cell line (BOY) that causes high rate lung metastasis by subcutaneous transplantation of nude mice. Cultured cells harvested stable growth from the early stage and reached 62 passages in 14 months. Cell doubling time was from 14.4 hours to 25.6 hours, and the colony formation rate was 54.3% to 64.0%. The number of chromosomes ranged from 28 to 77 and a peak was observed around 62. Tumor cancer was formed in 11 of 13 rats (84.6%) by cortical transplantation of nude mice, and histologically, a histological image similar to the primary tumor demyelitis was observed. Lung metastases were also found in 9 of 11 rats (81.8%) who developed subcutaneous tumors.
