[Establishment and usage of human multiple myeloma cell line].
It was known that malignancies of plasma cell (MPC) consists of three categories, one is multiple myeloma (MM), second is plasmacytoma, third is plasma cell leukemia. One of the aim of our review is that we listed MPC cell lines reported. It became clear from the list that the success of establishment of cell lines may expected only when trials are done concerning MM cells shown extra-medullary invasion cells from patients. In contrast, IL-6 dependent cell lines may established by chance and it may not depend on cell origin. The second aim of the article is to review the usage of cell lines of MPC. We chose 7 issues; one is the correlation between the proliferation and IL-6, second is the contribution of other cytokines to MPC lines, third is how to make human MM model in SCID mouse, fourth is the chromosomal abnormalities and oncogenesis, fifth is the contribution of fibronectin and MPC lines, sixth is the issue of osteoblast activating factor (OAF), finally, we discussed the tumour aberration of MPC lines. We expect that the accumulation of these acknowledges concerning MPC cell lines would contribute to the development of plasmacytology in the future.
