PG - 70-4 AB - The cell line PTC-1113A was established from a metastasizing recurrent papillary thyroid cancer. The cell line was growing as monolayer and showed a complex karyotype with chromosome numbers ranging from 30 to 140/metaphase. A proportion of metaphases contained double minutes and/or pulverized chromosomes. Extrachromosomal DNA seemed to originate from a B-group chromosome. A chromosome 4 painting probe hybridized to extrachromosomal material, representing double minutes (dmin) and possibly minutes. In addition, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the chromosome 4 library detected a translocation chromosome and a pulverized chromosome originating from chromosome 4. PTC-1113A is, to our knowledge, the single papillary thyroid cancer cell line demonstrating evidence of gene amplification.
