This study describes characteristics of two newly established cell lines (OSC-1 and OSC-2), derived from two oesophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Morphologically, OSC-1 cells and OSC-2 cells grew in epithelial cobblestone patterns with cells piling up to 4 cells. Ultrastructurally, both cell lines showed formation of desmosomes; however, tonofilaments were only formed by OSC-2 cells. Immunohistochemical investigations revealed coexpression of vimentin and cytokeratin in OSC-1 cells and OSC-2 cells. A cytokeratin subtype typical for mature squamous epithelia (cytokeratin 13) was expressed only in OSC-2 cells. OSC-1 cells showed tumour formation in nude mice, whereas OSC-2 cells did not. Cytogenetic analysis revealed that OSC-1 cells had a hyperdiploid karyotype and OSC-2 cells had a near-triploid karyotype. In both cell lines, the formation of multicellular spheroids could be induced. In conclusion, in comparison with OSC-2 cells the OSC-1 cells were characterized by a poorer degree of differentiation and by a more aggressive growth behaviour in vivo.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D008677 Metaphase The phase of cell nucleus division following PROMETAPHASE, in which the CHROMOSOMES line up across the equatorial plane of the SPINDLE APPARATUS prior to separation.
D008819 Mice, Nude Mutant mice homozygous for the recessive gene "nude" which fail to develop a thymus. They are useful in tumor studies and studies on immune responses. Athymic Mice,Mice, Athymic,Nude Mice,Mouse, Athymic,Mouse, Nude,Athymic Mouse,Nude Mouse
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
D008858 Microscopy, Phase-Contrast A form of interference microscopy in which variations of the refracting index in the object are converted into variations of intensity in the image. This is achieved by the action of a phase plate. Phase-Contrast Microscopy,Microscopies, Phase-Contrast,Microscopy, Phase Contrast,Phase Contrast Microscopy,Phase-Contrast Microscopies
D002294 Carcinoma, Squamous Cell A carcinoma derived from stratified SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL CELLS. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present.
