title: [A PTHrP-producing cell line derived from human small cell lung carcinoma].
abstract: We established a cell line, designated MS-1, from pleural effusion of a 54-yrs-old male patient with small cell lung carcinoma. MS-1 cells grew as a floating in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and the population doubling time was 45 hours. The chromosome number ranged from 49 to 52 and structural abnormalities of 1p+, 3q-, 6p-, 14p+ and 17p+ were observed in all the cells examined. MS-1 cells released PTHrP into the conditioned medium and heterogeneity of the PTHrP molecule produced in the cells was found in the gel permeation chromatography. Expression of the PTHrP gene as well as presence of the PTHrP protein in the cells were confirmed by reverse-transcriptase PCR(RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical staining. These findings indicate that MS-1 cells are derived from human small cell lung carcinoma, which produce PTHrP.
