DescriptionNP69 Human Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Cell Line
OverviewThe NP69 immortalized human nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line retains many of the characteristics of normal nasopharyngeal cells, including keratin profiles and response to TGF-beta, while possessing many of the genetic signatures observed in NPC (2). NP69 cells are non-tumorigenic and demonstrate anchorage-dependent growth (2). The NP69 cell line is particularly useful for studies of the mechanisms of viral-associated tumorigenesis.

Source:
NP69 cells were derived from passage 1 cultures of biopsy-isolated primary nasopharyngeal epithelial cells transfected with the PX8 plasmid containing the simian virus 40 large T antigen (1).
Alternate Names
  • NP69SV40T
  • NP-69
Background InformationNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the most common cancer arising in the nasopharyngeal region, arises from epithelial cells and is especially prevalent in areas of southeast Asia and as a childhood cancer in some African populations (1). NPC ontology and tumorigenesis is closely associated with viral factors, especially Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) (1).
