PG - 126 LID - 10.21037/atm-22-5741 [doi] LID - 126 AB - BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic malignancy mainly due to its cytogenetic abnormalities. Therefore, it is important to establish permanent malignant MM cell lines as tools to develop more effective therapies. METHODS: Pleural effusion cells of a 70-year-old patient was collected to establish the CZ2 cell line. Characterization of CZ2 was determined with nephelometry, flow cytometry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Western blotting analysis was adopted to determine protein expression. Cell viability was measured by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. RESULTS: We established and characterized a new MM cell line, CZ2. Using nephelometry and flow cytometry, cells with typical plasma cell morphology but not classical plasma cell phenotype were found to be non-immunoglobulin-secretary cells. FISH analysis of cells revealed a unique characteristic, namely, that there was only gain of the 1q21 region (1q21+). No other common cytogenetic abnormalities in MM, such as deletion of 17p (17p-), deletion of 13q (13q-), or translocation of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH), were observed. In addition, the original cell line maintains its single cytogenetic abnormality. Meanwhile, we observed through western blotting that CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B (CKS1B), an adverse prognostic gene located in the 1q21 region, was highly expressed in CZ2. Knockdown of CKS1B reduced cell viability and also increased the levels of cleaved-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (cleaved-PARP) and cleaved-caspase3. CONCLUSIONS: CZ2 provides a suitable material for cellular and molecular studies of MM with only a 1q21 abnormality. This cell line is characterized by a gain of 1q21, and the high expression of CKS1B is an important model for studies of myeloma cell growth and drug resistance during therapy.
