Abstract
BACKGROUND: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has a very high case fatality rate and is one of the fastest rising cancers worldwide. At the same time, research into EAC has been hampered by a relative lack of pre-clinical models, including representative cell lines. AIM: The purpose of this study was to establish and characterize a new EAC cell line. METHODS: Tumor cells were isolated from EAC tissue by enzymatic digestion. Origin of the cell line was confirmed by microsatellite based genotyping. A panel of cancer-related genes was screened for mutations by targeted deep sequencing, Sanger sequencing and high resolution melting.CDKN2A promoter methylation was assessed by methylation specific h..
