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
|
70 Black female The cell line is derived from an older patient with a germline mutation in the FHIT gene. The patient received prior chemotherapy and had no family history of breast cancer. The tumor was classified as TNM stage IV, grade 3, metaplastic carcinoma with 4 out of 18 lymph node metastasis.

Genes Expressed
|
Epithelial glycoprotein 2 [EGP2]; cytokeratin 19,her2/neu +, p53 -,The cells are positive for expression of Her2-neu and negative for expression of p53.,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 positive for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and for expression of progesterone receptor (PR).

Comments
|
The patient received prior chemotherapy and had no family history of breast cancer. The tumor was classified as TNM stage IV, grade 3, metaplastic carcinoma with 4 out of 18 lymph node metastasis. The cells are poorly differentiated. The cells are positive for expression of Her2-neu and negative for expression of p53. HCC1569 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) by immunohistochemistry, but PR expression was detectable at a low level by cytosolic protein assay.
