Abstract

Desmoplastic malignant pleural mesothelioma (DMM) is a rare histological variant of malignant pleural mesothelioma, which is a highly aggressive neoplasm of the mesothelium. DMM is associated with distant metastases and short survival. Effective treatments for DMM are not established and the development of histotype‑tailored treatments is difficult due to the rarity of the disease. Although patient‑derived cancer models are crucial tools for the development of novel therapeutics, they are difficult to obtain for DMM; no DMM cell lines or xenografts are available from public biobanks and only two cell lines have been reported. Thus, the present study aimed to establish a novel cell line of DMM as a resource for drug screening. A cell line of DMM was established, designated as NCC‑DMM1‑C1, using surgically resected tumor tissues from a 73‑year‑old male patient with DMM. Characteristics of NCC‑DMM1‑C1 cells were examined, such as growth, spheroid formation and invasion capability. Drug targets and anti‑cancer drugs with anti‑proliferative efficacy were examined using a comprehensive kinase activity assay and drug screening of 213 anti‑cancer agents, respectively. NCC‑DMM1‑C1 exhibited fast growth, spheroid formation and invasion capability, suggesting that the NCC‑DMM1‑C1 cells retained the aggressive features of DMM. NCC‑DMM1‑C1 cells and the tumor tissue shared common activity profiles of kinases, which included FES, Wee1, platelet‑derived growth factor receptor‑β and Src. The drug screening revealed that bortezomib, fostamatinib, gemcitabine, homoharringtonine and vinorelbine had anti‑proliferative effects, which have not been previously reported for DMM. It was concluded that NCC‑DMM1‑C1 cells may be a useful tool for the study of DMM.
