Clinical Data
60 years
Black
female
Receptor Expression
estrogen receptor, negative
progesterone receptor, negative
Oncogene her2/neu -, p53 -
Genes Expressed
Epithelial glycoprotein 2 [EGP2]; cytokeratin 19
Comments
The tumor was classified as a TNM Stage IIB, grade 2, acantholytic squamous carcinoma with no lymph node metastasis.

There was no family history of breast cancer.

The cells are poorly differentiated.

The cells are negative for expression of Her2-neu and for expression of p53.

HCC1806 is positive for the epithelial cell specific marker Epithelial Glycoprotein 2 (EGP2) and for cytokeratin 19.

The cells are negative for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and for expression of progesterone receptor (PR).

The cells are homozygous for deletions in the FHIT gene at 3p14.2.
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.

  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
  3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
    Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
  4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
  5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
  6. Incubate cultures at 37°C

Subculture Ratio: 1:2 to 1:4
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days.
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994.
