Organism Homo sapiens, human
Tissue
mammary gland; breast
Cell Type Epithelial
Product Format frozen
Morphology epithelial
Culture Properties mixed adherent-suspension
Biosafety Level 1
Disease TNM stage IV, grade 3, primary metaplastic carcinoma
Age 70
Gender female
Ethnicity Black
Applications
HCC1569 is positive for the epithelial cell specific marker Epithelial Glycoprotein 2 (EGP2) and for cytokeratin 19.
The cell line is derived from an older patient with a germline mutation in the FHIT gene.
The cells are negative for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and for expression of progesterone receptor (PR) by immunohistochemistry, but PR expression was detectable at a low level by cytosolic protein assay.
The cells are poorly differentiated.
The cells are positive for expression of Her2-neu and negative for expression of p53.
Karyotype polyploid
Derivation
The cell line is derived from an older patient with a germline mutation in the FHIT gene. The FHIT gene is located at 3p14.2 and the mutation is a transversion at nucleotide 651 (G to T).The patient's daughter carries the same gene mutation.
This cell line was initiated on 3/8/95 and took 19 months to establish.
Clinical Data

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
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:6 is recommended
Protocol:
  1. Remove culture medium to a centrifuge tube.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which 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 with 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. To remove trypsin-EDTA solution, transfer cell suspension to the centrifuge tube with the medium and cells from step #1 and spin at approximately 125 xg for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Discard supernatant and resuspend cells in fresh growth medium. Add appropriate aliquots of cell suspension to new culture vessels.
  7. Place culture vessels in incubators at 37°C.
Cryopreservation
culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Culture Conditions
Temperature: 37°C
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
