HCC95 Human Lung Squamous Carcinoma Cell Line

≥1x10⁶ viable HCC95 Lung Squamous Carcinoma Cancer Cells: (Catalog No. SCC483). Store in liquid nitrogen.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, causing 23% of all cancer mortality in 2020. Among all lung cancer cases, 85% are categorized as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which is a heterogeneous group of diseases with poor prognosis and a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Among all NSCLC cases, 30-40% are categorized as lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC) which often affects the main airways and bronchi and is attributed to smoking as its principal etiology.

The HCC95 cell line is a human lung squamous cell carcinoma line, collected from a metastatic site of pleural effusion. Recent transcriptomic characterizations show that HCC95 show high similarity to the typical LUSC transcriptome.

HCC95 human squamous lung carcinoma cells were derived from a 65-year-old male with NSCLC.

Among the NSCLC cell lines, HCC95 has been shown to retain the lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC) disease phenotype. Early research showed that HCC95 is very similar to the original tumor genetically and histochemically, with poor differentiation and formation of keratinization. Collectively, these demonstrate that HCC95 is a valuable cell line for modeling LUSC with high fidelity in vitro. A 2010 study has exemplified its use in studying NSCLC sensitivity to cisplatin treatment.

HCC95 cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages without significantly affecting cell marker expression and function.
