Abstract

There is a strong need for murine gastric cancer cell line models recapitulating human gastric cancers. Here, we describe two murine gastric cancer cell lines designated as NCC-S1 and NCC-S3. They were generated from gastric adenocarcinomas that formed in a Villin-cre, Smad4(F/F) , Trp53(F/F) , Cdh1(F/wt) mouse and a Pdx1-cre, Trp53(F/F) , Cdh1(F/F) mouse, respectively. Molecular profiles of both cell lines were very similar to human gastric cancer. NCC-S1M and NCC-S3M subpopulation clones were isolated from pulmonary metastasis of heterotopic allografts of NCC-S1 and NCC-S3 cells, respectively. NCC-S1M and NCC-S3M showed enhanced in vivo growth rates and metastatic potentials and exhibited epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition features. NCC-S1M cells developed orthotopic and heterotopic tumors in immunocompetent mice in predictable manner, and were useful for testing the efficacy of an immunotherapeutic agent, anti-4-1BB antibody. NCC-S1M and NCC-S3M cells demonstrated Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation, and knockdown of Ctnnb1 reversed the metastatic phenotype of NCC-S1M. These results underscore the role of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in metastatic phenotype of gastric cancer. Taken together, our novel metastatic gastric cancer cell lines are useful resources for drug development and metastasis research.
