Cell Line Origin
Adenocarcinoma of the Gastric fundus, poorly differentiated
Cell Line Description
SK-GT-2 was established from a primary adenocarcinoma of gastric fundus from a 72-year-old Hispanic male previously treated for squamous cell carcinoma with radiation therapy and radical neck dissection. Pathology of recurrence (1 year) demonstrated ulcerating poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach invading spleen and epigastic fat (T4) with metastases to perisplenic and perigastric nodes (N1). SK-GT-2 was found to be tumorigenic in athymic nu/nu mice. The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.
