BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is a major worldwide health problem. The aim of this study is to establish a novel Chinese human lung adenocarcinoma cell line and examine its biological characteristics. METHODS: Lung adenocarcinoma specimens were freshly resected during surgery. The tissues were incubated in vitro and the cell line was named Ch-Huang-1. The biological characteristics of the cells were investigated by light microscopy, chromosome analysis, and transplantation experiment. RESULTS: Light microscopy revealed that cells from the primary tumor, Ch-Huang-1 cell line, and transplanted tumor possessed the characteristics of a malignant glandular epithelial tumor. The cell growth curve, doubling time, and mitotic index were also observed in vitro. Nuclear chromosome analysis revealed that the tumor was a subtriploid with a mode of 35-44 per cell. Tumor nodes were observed under the skin of nude mice by heterogenic transplantation. CONCLUSION: The characteristics of the established cell line suggest that it is a newly established human adenocarcinoma cell line.

Analysis of cells division index
细胞分裂指数分析Analysis of cells division index计算出克隆形成率:克隆形成率=克隆数/接种细胞数×100%,本研究克隆形成率为0.803%±0.078%。荧光显微镜下可以观察到90%的培养细胞表达Ⅱ型肺泡(alveolar type Ⅱ, ATⅡ)上皮细胞标志蛋白:疏水性表面活性蛋白C(surfactant protein C, SPC)(图 4),提示其起源于ATII细胞。

Identification of the cellular tissue origin (DAB, ×200)
细胞组织起源鉴定(DAB,×200)Identification of the cellular tissue origin (DAB, ×200)在显微镜下选择分散良好且比较完整的第12代中期分裂象进行观察,计数100个分裂象的染色体数目。观察到各细胞内染色体数目分布在35-44之间。染色体数目为亚三倍体,有明显的染色体异常(图 5)。
