Human neoplastic cells in tissue culture: two established cell lines derived from giant cell tumor and fibrosarcoma. 1976

The establishment and cultivation of two human neoplastic cell lines is described. The cell line B-5GT was derived from bone giant cell tumor and B-6FS from poorly differentiated fibrosarcoma. In comparison to the normal skin fibroblasts both cell lines have a potential for "indefinite" multiplication in vitro and they exhibit growth properties which are associated with malignant transformation. The parameters investigated included cell morphology, chromosome characteristics, terminal cell density, growth pattern, residual DNA synthesis and growth in soft agar. Both cell lines exhibited human karyotype with aneuploidy and differed in their karyotype from each other.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D002466 Cell Nucleolus Within most types of eukaryotic CELL NUCLEUS, a distinct region, not delimited by a membrane, in which some species of rRNA (RNA, RIBOSOMAL) are synthesized and assembled into ribonucleoprotein subunits of ribosomes. In the nucleolus rRNA is transcribed from a nucleolar organizer, i.e., a group of tandemly repeated chromosomal genes which encode rRNA and which are transcribed by RNA polymerase I.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D004273 DNA, Neoplasm DNA present in neoplastic tissue. Neoplasm DNA
