Cell Line Origin

Human pleural effusion from a patient with malignant melanoma

Cell Line Description

Derived from the pleural effusion of a 36 year old female with malignant melanoma. Cell line produces plasminogen activator. This cell line was found to be indistinguishable from cell lines COLO 699N & COLO 738 by STR PCR DNA profiling. At ECACC the STR PCR profile of all stocks of this cell line match the profile of the original source material received at ECACC. However, it is not clear if the cell lines COLO 699N, RPMI 7932 & COLO 738 were originally derived from the same individual as the profiles suggest. The cell lines COLO 699N, RPMI 7932 & COLO 738 were received from the same depositor. If we are able to obtain clarification of the relationship between these cell lines this information will be updated.

Application

Tumourigenicity studies

Culture Medium

RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:2 to 1:4 i.e. seeding at 3-6x10,000 cells/cm2using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C.

Certain N-alkylated analogues of the natural polyamine spermine, such as N1,N11-diethylnorspermine (DENSPM), rapidly deplete intracellular polyamine pools by down-regulating the biosynthetic enzymes, ornithine decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase, and by potently up-regulating the polyamine catabolizing enzyme, spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase. On the basis

It has been demonstrated previously that several human cancer cell lines possess specific, high affinity receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3, calcitriol] and that 1,25-(OH)2D3 and certain of its metabolites inhibit the growth in vitro of several human breast cancer and

Tumor cell fractions isolated from tumor lines SH-3 (breast carcinoma) and RPMI-7932 (malignant melanoma) by differential centrifugations were capable of transforming lymphocytes into cytotoxic effector cells. Lymphocytes cultured alone in human AB plasma did not become cytotoxic to tumor cells.

Our interest in prostaglandins (PGs) as antitumor agents stemmed from the report of Bregman and Meyskens (Cancer Res., 43: 1642-1645, 1983) that PGA1, PGA2, and PGD2 inhibited colony formation by human melanoma cells obtained from fresh biopsies of melanoma patients.
