Establishment of mouse neuroblastoma clone E 7 in serum-free medium. 1984

Ninety-six clonal populations were derived from a wild mouse neuroblastoma cell population C 1300 in a serum-free medium containing commercially available serum growth-promoting proteins (GPP). From among these 96 lines the clonal population E 7 was chosen for further work because it displayed maximum spontaneous morphological differentiation. The neuroblastoma clonal population differs morphologically from the original population; it was defined both cytogenetically and by means of growth parameters. The cells of the neuroblastoma clone E 7 are hypertetraploid with two chromosome number modals - 88 and approximately 180-200. The majority of telocentric chromosomes in metaphases with a modal number of 88 chromosomes are identical with the chromosomes of mouse diploid cells. The cell generation time is 22 hours. The cells of the clonal population E 7 are highly sensitive to the action of ethanolamine, which induces morphological differentiation, so that the processes of 30% of the cells in the population are over 40 micron long. Electrophysiological studies showed that the cells of the neuroblastoma clonal population E 7 retain the character of excitable cells and they are thus suitable for studying some of the properties of nervous tissue cells.

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.
