Cancer research requires cell lines suitable for both <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> assays. However, there is a lack of cell lines with a high <i>in vivo</i> metastatic capacity for this HCC subtype. Herein, a new HCC cell line was established, named HCC-ZJ, using cells from a patient diagnosed with alcohol-related HCC. The karyotype of HCC-ZJ was 46, XY, del (p11.2). Whole-exome sequencing identified several genetic variations in HCC-Z that occur frequently in alcohol-associated HCC, such as mutations in <i>TERT</i>, <i>CTNNB1</i>, <i>ARID1A</i>, <i>CDKN2A</i>, <i>SMARCA2</i>, and <i>HGF</i>. Cell counting kit-8 assays, colony formation assays, and Transwell assays were performed to evaluate the proliferation, migration, and sensitivity to sorafenib and lenvatinib of HCC-Z <i>in vitro</i>. HCC-ZJ showed a robust proliferation rate, a weak foci-forming ability, a strong migration capacity, and a moderate invasion tendency <i>in vitro</i>. Finally, the tumorigenicity and metastatic capacity of HCC-Z were evaluated using a subcutaneous xenograft model, an orthotopic xenograft model, and a tail-veil injection model. HCCZJ exhibited strong tumorigenicity in the subcutaneous xenograft and orthotopic tumor models. Moreover, HCC-ZJ spontaneously formed pulmonary metastases in the orthotopic tumor model. In summary, a new HCC cell line derived from a patient with alcohol-related HCC was established, which showed a high metastatic capacity and could be applied for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> experiments during pre-clinical research.<b>Highlights</b>• An alcohol-related HCC cell line, HCC-ZJ, was established• HCC-ZJ was applicable for <i>in vitro</i> functional experiment and gene editing• HCC-ZJ was applicable for <i>in vivo</i> tumor growth and spontaneous metastasis models.</p>","PeriodicalId":8919,"journal":{"name":"Bioengineered","volume":"15 1","pages":"2296775"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10773622/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139377175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These anthropogenic sediments are significantly contaminated with potentially toxic elements, and a diverse array of organic pollutants. Additionally, these sediments are of environmental concern due to their potential role in greenhouse gas emissions. Given the environmental risks posed by these sediments, the development of effective remediation strategies is of critical importance. However, no specialized methods have been established yet for the cleanup of this specific type of contaminated sediments. To identify effective fungal species for the mycoremediation of the fiberbank substrate, we performed a detailed screening experiment. In this research, we primarily aimed at assessing both the growth capacity and the proficiency in degrading organic pollutants of 26 native white-rot fungi (WRF) species. These species were sourced from natural forest environments in northern Sweden. The experimental setup involved evaluating the WRF on plates containing fiberbank material with a central Hagem-agar disc to closely monitor the interaction of these species with fiberbank substrates. Among the fungi tested, <i>Laetiporus sulphureus</i> exhibited the highest growth area percentage at 72%, followed by <i>Hymenochaete tabacina</i> at 68% and <i>Diplomitoporus crustulinus</i> at 67%.
