Organism Homo sapiens, human
Tissue lung; derived from metastatic site: bone marrow
Product Format frozen
Morphology epithelial
Culture Properties suspension, multicell aggregates and some adherent cells (This cell line grows as gland-like clusters in suspension with a few attached cells. The viability of the cells in clusters is better than the viability of the single cells in the cultures.)
Biosafety Level 1
Disease carcinoma; small cell lung cancer
Age 64 years
Gender male
Ethnicity Caucasian
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Karyotype hypotriploid; modal number = 63; range = 60 to 66.
Sixteen or more marker chromosomes were common to most cells. Nearly half of the markers had lengths close to the D group or smaller chromosomes. Among the identifiable markers were der(1)t(1;17)(q21;q11), der(?9)t(1;?9)()q12;?q21, t(8q?12q), t(12q?17q), der(9)t(9,?)(q22;?). Normal N13 was absent; the N8, N9, N12 and N19 were found as single copies; N20 generally had 4 copies; there were 2 normal X chromosomes and no Y chromosome was detected.
Derivation The NCI-H345 cell line was derived by D. Carney, A.F. Gazdar and associates in 1981 from the bone marrow of a patient with small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCLC). The tumor specimen was obtained after the initiation of chemotherapy.

Comments

The cells produce easily detectable p53 mRNA at levels comparable to those in normal lung tissue.

The line does not exhibit any gross structural DNA abnormalities.

The cells express elevated levels of four biochemical markers of SCLC: neuron specific enolase, the brain isoenzyme of creatine kinase, L-DOPA decarboxylase and bombesin-like immunoreactivity.

This cell line grows as gland-like clusters in suspension with a few attached cells. The viability of the cells in clusters is better than the viability of the single cells in the cultures.

The cells form transplantable tumors with typical small cell carcinoma histology.
Complete Growth Medium HITES medium (serum free) HITES medium is formulated at the ATCC as follows: Dulbecco's medium : Ham's F12, 50:50 mix (ATCC 30-2006) Insulin 0.005 mg/ml Transferrin 0.01 mg/ml Sodium selenite 30 nM Hydrocortisone 10 nM beta-estradiol 10 nM HEPES 10 mM L-glutamine 2 mM (in addition to that in the base medium)
Subculturing
Culture can be maintained by addition of medium or by replacement of medium. Alternatively, the cells may be collected by centrifugation and dispersed into fresh medium. Aggregates may be dispersed by trituration. The use of trypsin is not recommended.
Medium Renewal: Add fresh medium every 3 to 4 days (depending on cell density)
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 7.5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions
Temperature: 37°C
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
