Involvement of tumor-associated macrophage activation in vitro during development of a novel mantle cell lymphoma cell line, PF-1, derived from a typical patient with relapsed disease

Abstract Human mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell lines are scarce and have been only sporadically described and validated, and only a few have been thoroughly molecularly or genetically characterized. We describe here the successful establishment of a new MCL line, PF-1, with typical MCL characteristi...

Description
Summary:Abstract Human mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell lines are scarce and have been only sporadically described and validated, and only a few have been thoroughly molecularly or genetically characterized. We describe here the successful establishment of a new MCL line, PF-1, with typical MCL characteristics. Culturing primary MCL cells in vitro initially gave rise to an essential generative microenvironment "niche" involving macrophages required for MCL growth, and eventually produced the PF-1 MCL cell line. Our analysis revealed that PF-1 is morphologically and genotypically nearly identical to the original tumor cells. The PF-1 MCL cell line that we have developed will be useful for in vitro and in vivo studies of MCL pathogenesis and therapeutics.
