ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To establish a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-mice model using human DLBCL cell line LY8, to investigate its characteristics of growth and to provide a model for in vivo study of DLBCL pathogenesis and treatment.METHODS:
LY8 cells were injected subcutaneously into the right flank of nude mice. Harvested tumor tissues were cut into small pieces of 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm and implanted subcutaneously into nude mice. Tumor growth was visualized and the histologic characteristics were documented. Expression of LCA, CD20, CD79α, Ki-67, CD3, CD45RO, bcl-6, MUM-1, CD10 and bcl-2 were examined by using immunohistochemistry. IgH clonal rearrangement and status of three microsatellite loci (D14S68, D18S69, D20S199) in the xenografted tumor samples and the parental cell line LY8 were detected using PCR amplification followed by PAGE.RESULTS:
The subcutaneous xenograft DLBCL model was successfully established by using cell line LY8, and a stable growth was achieved up to the 9th generation. The tumor in each generation showed similar growth characteristics and the rate of subcutaneous tumor formation was 91.9% (114/124). The tumor growth was observed from the 2nd week after implantation, reaching 1.3 cm in major diameter at the 3rd week and 2.0 cm at the 4th week. The tumor had identical morphological characteristics with those of human DLBCL, and expressed LCA, CD20, CD79α, bcl-6, MUM-1, CD10 and bcl-2. The tumor of xenograft mice and cell line LY8 showed identical IgH rearrangement and microsatellite length.CONCLUSIONS:
A human DLBCL bearing mouse model was successfully established. The mice model is similar to human counterpart with high stability and repeatability. Therefore, it provides an ideal animal model for in vivo studies of the biological characteristics and treatment of DLBCL.
