PG - 594-7 AB - Only a small number of clear cell sarcoma (CCS) cell lines have been reported, including the cell line HS-MM. In the present study, this cell line, maintained for more than 4 years since establishment, was further characterized by cytogenetic studies, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). HS-MM cells both in vitro and in vivo exhibited pseudodiploid karyotypes with the specific t(12;22)(q13;q12) translocation. The translocation between chromosomes 12 and 22 was confirmed by FISH analysis and the hybrid EWS/ATF-1 transcript induced by this translocation was detected by RT-PCR. The HS-MM cell line will be useful for further studies of CCS. CI - Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
