New cellular tools reveal complex epithelial–mesenchymal interactions in hepatocarcinogenesis

Abstract: To enable detailed analyses of cell interactions in tumour development, new epithelial and mesenchymal cell lines were established from human hepatocellular carcinoma by spontaneous outgrowth in culture. We obtained several hepatocarcinoma (HCC)-, B-lymphoblastoid (BLC)-, and myofibroblastoid (MF)-lines from seven cases. In-depth characterisation included cell kinetics, genotype, tumourigenicity, expression of cell-type specific markers, and proteome patterns. Many functions of the cells of origin were found t… Show more

“…However, we did not observe significant polyploidy in TC Mps1 12-treated cells using flow cytometry (data not shown). This may be due to the slow doubling time of HepG2 and Hep3B cells: 48 and 25 h respectively (Sagmeister et al, 2008). If we had exposed the cells to TC Mps1 12 for more than 72 h, we may have detected hyperploidy.…”

“…Two distinct liver cell lines were of particular interest as these cell types have been isolated from the HCC of one patient (20). Phase contrast analysis suggested an epithelial cell type, termed 3p, and a mesenchymal cell population, designated 3sp (Fig.…”
