Induction of plasma protein secretion in a newly established human hepatoma cell line

C Chang et al. Mol Cell Biol. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

To study the expression and the regulation of hepatocyte markers, we have undertaken to establish human hepatoma cell lines of various phenotypes. We now report the establishment of a new human hepatoma cell line, HA22T/VGH. This cell line has many of the properties of human hepatocellular carcinoma. Only 5 of 15 plasma proteins investigated were detected in the medium of a 10-day-old HA22T/VGH culture. However, when the HA22T/VGH cells and a clonal derivative, C5, were cultured in an aggregated form, all 15 plasma proteins were found in the culture medium. These results indicate that hepatoma cell lines with different phenotypes can be established, and they provide a good experimental framework to investigate differentiation of human hepatocytes.
