Abstract:
Objective: We aimed to establish reversibly immortalized cell lines from human uterine and ovary cells using the Sendai virus (SeV) vector. The immortalized cells derive from normal and benign ovarian epithelial cells and endometrial epithelial cells. Furthermore, we sought to elucidate the mechanisms of carcinogenesis using the immortalized cell lines. Methods: Cells were collected at the time of surgery after obtaining patient consent. The cells used in this study were as follows: ovarian epithelial cells (normal epithelium, Ov n; normal epithelium with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, Ov BRCA1 2; ovarian endometrioma, Ov endo; mucinous cystadenoma; Ov m), normal fallopian tube (FT) cells, and endometrial epithelium (normal epithelium, Em n). These cells were infected with temperature-sensitive SeV vectors carrying three immortalization genes, Bmi-1, hTERT, and SV40T.The presence of infection was confirmed through Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and Orange Fluorescent Protein (OFP). Immunoreactivity to the anti-human EpCAM antibody (a marker derived from epithelial carcinoma) in each SeV-infected cell was confirmed through flow cytometry. QH and multicolor FISH staining were performed for karyotyping of metaphase chromosomes in each cell line to determine chromosome number and structural abnormalities. Human transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed with NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina) using total RNA from each cell line. Some genes that showed significant expression in each cell line were subjected to real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Results: We established the immortalized cell lines from human uterine and ovarian tissues. SeV-infected cells exhibited GFP and OFP fluorescence, while non-infected cells did not. SeV infection allowed all primary cell lines to grow for 25 or more passages, while non-infected SeV cells lacked the proliferative capacity and showed senescence-like morphology. SeV-infected cells senesced in a temperature-dependent manner. Ov n SeV- infected cells ion causedshowed a small increase in chromosome structural abnormalities. But, Ov BRCA1 and 2 SeV-infected cells showed larger than thatand . Llong-term passaged cells did not show immune response to anti-human EpCAM antibodies in normal cells. Eleven Three genes were predominantly expressed in Ov BRCA1 and Ov BRCA2 cells and were not expressed in Ov n cells. SomeTwo out of ththe three genesem were found to be predominantly expressed in Ov endo cells compared to the expression in the Ovn cell line. Furthermore, RT-PCR results also indicated substantially higher expression of two genes in Ov BRCA1/2 cells and in Ov endo cells compared to the expression in Ov n cells. Conclusion: We succeeded in the reversible immortalization of endometrial and ovarian epithelial cells by using SeV infection. We identified several candidate genes that may be involved in the oncogenic mechanism of ovarian cancer associated with endometriosis or germline BRCA1 and BRCA2.
