A serially transplantable rat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) line was established. The primary spontaneous HCC which developed in a 506-day-old male hereditary hepatitis LEC rat was inoculated into young LEC rats. Only this HCC of 18 primary HCCs was successful in serial transplantation. The established cell line was histologically identical to the primary HCC showing a well-differentiated type with a trabecular structure of tumorous hepatocytes. The characteristic of albumin production was maintained. Chromosome analysis revealed rather widely dispersed polyploid chromosome numbers with a modal value at 96. Every metaphase contained two to five unusually large marker chromosomes.

D011519 Proto-Oncogenes Normal cellular genes homologous to viral oncogenes. The products of proto-oncogenes are important regulators of biological processes and appear to be involved in the events that serve to maintain the ordered procession through the cell cycle. Proto-oncogenes have names of the form c-onc. Proto-Oncogene,Proto Oncogene,Proto Oncogenes
D005260 Female Females
D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication.
