HuCCT1 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description HuCCT1 is a human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell line established from malignant cells collected from ascitic fluid. The donor had a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from the intrahepatic bile duct. HuCCT1 cells display epithelial-like morphology and grow as an adherent culture. The line produces carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and carries defined alterations in KRAS, TP53, and MSH6, providing a relevant model for investigating biliary tract cancer biology, oncogenic signaling, tumor-marker secretion, therapeutic response, and mechanisms of drug resistance.
Tissue of Origin Intrahepatic bile duct; primary cancer associated with the liver and biliary tract
Sample Type Malignant cells isolated from ascitic fluid
Disease Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma
Morphology Epithelial-like
Sex Male
Age at Sampling 56 years
Population Japanese
Year Established 1989
Product Format Frozen
Growth Mode Adherent
Biosafety Level Biosafety Level 1 is generally applied; confirm handling requirements through a local risk assessment before use
Applications 1. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma biology and disease-mechanism research
2. Investigation of KRAS-driven signaling and TP53-associated phenotypes
3. CA19-9 production and biliary tumor-marker studies
4. Anticancer drug screening, combination testing, and resistance research
5. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and pathway analysis
6. Genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and functional screening workflows
7. Comparative studies of molecularly defined biliary tract cancer models
Storage Conditions Store below −130°C; vapor-phase liquid nitrogen is recommended for long-term preservation
Characteristics
Tumor Marker Production Produces carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), including under serum-free culture conditions reported during the original characterization
Genetic Profile Reported variants include heterozygous KRAS p.Gly12Asp (G12D; c.35G>A), homozygous TP53 p.Arg175His (R175H; c.524G>A), and heterozygous MSH6 p.Lys1358fs*2 (c.4071_4072insGATT). This combination supports studies of RAS signaling, altered p53 function, and DNA mismatch-repair biology.
Microsatellite Status Microsatellite stable (MSS), despite the reported heterozygous MSH6 frameshift variant
Life Span Continuous / immortalized
Mycoplasma Test Negative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Culture Conditions 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO₂
Recommended Seeding Density A lot-specific starting density of approximately 0.8–1.4 × 10⁴ cells/cm² has been used successfully. Optimize the seeding density for the vessel, passage history, and experimental endpoint.
Subculturing 1. Remove the spent medium and rinse the adherent monolayer with calcium- and magnesium-free balanced salt solution.
2. Add sufficient trypsin–EDTA solution to cover the cell layer. A formulation of 0.05% trypsin with 0.02% EDTA for approximately 10 minutes at 37°C is recommended in the general passage protocol; 0.25% trypsin with 0.02% EDTA has also been used for distributed lots.
3. Monitor detachment microscopically and avoid unnecessary exposure to the dissociation reagent.
4. Add complete medium, gently pipette to obtain an even suspension, and transfer the required aliquot to a new culture vessel.
5. Return the culture to 37°C and 5% CO₂.
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:4 is recommended
Thawing and Recovery Thaw the vial rapidly in a 37°C water bath and disinfect the exterior before opening. Transfer the contents promptly into pre-warmed complete medium, remove the cryoprotectant by gentle centrifugation when required, resuspend the cells, and seed into a suitable culture vessel. Minimize the time spent in concentrated cryoprotectant and avoid harsh pipetting during early recovery.
Cryopreservation A reported freezing formulation consists of RPMI-1640 containing 20% fetal bovine serum and 10% DMSO
