Four human colon cancer cell lines, HCT-8, HRT-18, DLD-1, and HCT-15, with an epithelioid morphotype reproducibly formed alpha-catenin-deficient round cells. Using DNA fingerprinting, we found that these four cell lines have an identical genetic background. Our finding strongly suggests a genetic background for the reproducible loss of alpha-catenin and the ensuing acquisition of invasiveness in all four cell lines.
四种具有上皮样形态型的人结肠癌细胞系HCT - 8、HRT - 18、DLD - 1和HCT - 15可重复性地形成α - 连环蛋白缺陷的圆形细胞。通过DNA指纹分析,我们发现这四种细胞系具有相同的遗传背景。我们的发现有力地表明,在所有这四种细胞系中,α - 连环蛋白的可重复性缺失以及随之而来的侵袭性获得存在遗传背景。
