Establishment and characterization of a novel sinonasal adenosquamous carcinoma cell line, TC717, with a high tumor mutational burden
摘要
We established and characterized a novel human sinonasal adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) cell line, TC717, derived from a 64-year-old, never-smoking woman. The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by total maxillectomy but succumbed to disease 6 months after therapy initiation. TC717 recapitulated the histologic and immunohistochemical hallmarks of ASC, including squamous differentiation (p40 positivity) and mucin production. The cells displayed a stable doubling time of ~ 27 h. WES revealed a high TMB in both the primary tumor tissue (43.0 mut/Mb) and the TC717 cell line (34.0 mut/Mb), and pathogenic TP53 c.614A > G and BRAF c.1574 T > C variants, neither previously reported in ASC. TC717 provides a valuable preclinical platform for investigating sinonasal ASC biology and for evaluating genotype-directed therapies.
