Multiple cell lines from patients with malignant melanoma: morphology, karyology, and biochemical analysis. 1982

T U Semple, and G E Moore, and R T Morgan, and L K Woods, and L A Quinn

Of 23 cell lines representing 8 patients with malignant melanoma, one cell line from each patient has been extensively characterized by means of phase morphology, ultrastructural morphology, biochemical markers, steroid receptor protein analysis, and steroid hormone production. Extensive cytogenetic characterization was compiled from seven of the eight cell lines. The melanocytic derivation of the tumor cell lines was supported by the detection of the catecholamines epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. In addition, well-defined melanosomes were present in six of the seven lines whose ultrastructure were examined morphologically. None of the lines produced alpha-fetoprotein chorionic gonadotropin, or carcinoembryonic antigen in detectable amounts. The individuality of the cell lines was confirmed by phenotypic patterns of isozymes and by karyology.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
