In the past study, we used a human gastric stem cell clone, KMU-GI2, isolated from endoscopically biopsied gastric mucosa. As we maintained this KMU-GI2 cell clone, we also found a subclone with spontaneous transformation, named KMU-CSN. We found this KMU-CSN cell line showed homogenous epithelial morphology, cell pile-up appearance due to contact insensitivity, enhanced anchorage independence (from 1.7% of KMU-GI2 to 22% of KMU-CSN) and cell immortalization (CPDL >100). The high tumorigenic potential of this KMU-CS12 cell line has been endorsed by the finding of the tumor formation in nude mice. By spectral karyotyping and SNP GeneChip® Mapping 500K Assay, we found chromosomal abnormalities in chromosome 12, which were derived from duplication of 7p15.1~15.3 and 7p22.1~22.3. In normal cells, HOXA genes were found to localize in chromosome 7. In this KMU-CS12 cell line, an increased expression of HOXA4¡B5¡B7¡B9¡B13 genes was also shown, as compared with KMU-CSN. With these findings, we hypothesized that HOXA genes may play a role in gastric carcinogenesis. Therefore, we can check the prevalence of HOXA genes abnormalities in human gastric cancer patients.
