Evaluation of gene expression related to hepatic cell maturation and differentiation in a chemically induced mouse hepatoblastoma cell line.

Abstract:

:The MHB-2 cell line, established from a mouse hepatoblastoma (HB), was subjected to the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for evaluation of gene expression related to cell differentiation. RNAs for c-kit, CD34, thy-1, albumin, cytokeratin (CK) 8, 18 and 19 could be detected, but expression of alpha-fetoprotein, glucose-6-phosphatase, tyrosine aminotransferase and CK7 was not observed. MHB-2 cells were positive for CK8/18 but negative for c-kit, CD34, thy-1 and albumin on protein level. Immunohistochemical staining of the HB in vivo revealed diffusely expressed c-kit. Thy-1-positive HB cells were sparsely observed, but the tumor was negative for CD34 and rarely positive for CK8/18. By in situ hybridization, the HB was positive for CK18 but negative for CK19. Slight expression of albumin, but the lack of immature hepatocytic marker suggested some heterogeneous hepatocyte or an undifferentiated cell from other origin. Furthermore, positive expression of CK19 as well as CK8 and CK18 in culture strongly suggested the differentiation into a biliary lineage or the bidirectional state. In conclusion, the present study indicated the mouse HB to have de-differentiated, bipotent, or biliary-like cell characteristics, and considering the histological difference between HB and biliary tumors, it suggests the mouse HB cells are closely like some sort of hepatic undifferentiated cells.
