General description

Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most common type of gastric cancer, representing 95% of malignancies that originate in the stomach (1). The incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma is especially high in Central and Eastern Asia and areas of Eastern Europe and South America, comprising a significant global health burden (1). Robust models of gastric cancer that reflect the most prevalent form of this disease are therefore highly valuable.

The HGT-1 human gastric cancer cell line is derived from a poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma and is well-established as a model for studies of gastric cancer and mechanisms of gastric secretion. HGT-1 cells are tumorigenic in nude mice and have a hyperdiploid karyotype (2). HGT-1 cells do not secrete mucus, yet maintain expression of functional histamine H2 receptors also found in normal acid-secreting parietal cells (2).

The HGT-1 cell line was established from a primary tumor of a 60-year-old male patient (2).
