“…MSTO-211H, NCI-H28, NCI-H226, NCI-H2052, NCI-H2373, NCI-H2452, and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD). MPM cell lines are divided into three histological origins, an epithelioid type (ACC-MESO-1, ACC-MESO-4, Y-MESO-9, Y-MESO-12, NCI-H290, NCI-H513, NCI-H226, and NCI-H2452), a sarcomatoid type (NCI-H28, NCI-H2052, and NCI-H2373), and a biphasic type (Y-MESO-8A, Y-MESO-14, EHMES-1, and MSTO-211H) (37)(38)(39). These cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS (CRPMI 1640; Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Meiji Seika Kaisha, Tokyo, Japan).…”
