A continuously growing cultured cell line has been obtained in vitro, starting from a specimen of ascites fluid obtained from a patient with ovarian cancer, in whom a poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma was diagnosed. This cell line, named OC-A1, is routinely grown in standard, serum-supplemented culture medium and has been fully stabilized to long-term growth and characterized for both cultural and genetic parameters. OC-A1 cells express a set of characteristics, as determined in vitro which, when compared with the in vivo primary tumor, confirm the high malignity of this cancer. In addition, karyotype analysis showed a translocation of chromosome 8 which is correlated with the amplification of c-myc oncogene. However, the expression of this oncogene was found to be significantly inhibited by a new regulatory activity, recently found to be present in a liposarcoma cell line. Conditioned medium from these cells was indeed able to inhibit the growth of OC-A1 cells, arresting their cell cycle in the G1 phase and inducing them to apoptosis. Finally, the cell programmed death appeared to be related to the expression of antioncogene p53.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
