Despite the importance of in vitro study of gastric cancer, there are very few established cell lines derived from human gastric carcinoma. We have recently established a new cell line derived from human gastric cancer which has the ability to produce tumor markers. This cell line has been designated JR-St. This cell line was derived from the cerebrospinal fluid of a 37-yr-old female patient who had metastatic brain tumor of signet ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma. This cell line has been maintained for more than 24 months through 80 passages with stable growth. PAS staining showed intracellular mucin granules. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy revealed cells with numerous microvilli and fine projections as well as intracellular granules, indicating mucin. This cell line had the ability to produce high concentrations of tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9. Thus Thus this cell line should provide a very useful tool for the investigation of gastric cancer such as analysis of tumor markers as well as effects of anti-cancer drugs or growth factors.

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
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
