Tgbc24tkb

The GBC cell lines, OCUG-1 and NOZ were obtained from Health Science Research Resources Bank, Osaka, Japan. TGBC2TKB, TGBC24TKB and G-415 were purchased from RIKEN Bio Resource Center, Ibaraki, Japan. SNU-308 was obtained from Korean Cell Line Bank, Seoul, Korea. GB-d1 was authenticated by short tandem repeat analysis. The properties and culture conditions of the GBC cell lines, TGBC2TKB, SNU-308, G-415, TGBC24TKB, NOZ, OCUG-1 and GB-d1 are provided in Additional file 1. All cell lines were maintained in humidified incubator with 5 % CO₂ at 37 °C.

In this study, we analyzed 167 human primary GBC samples as well as 39 non-GBC samples and the corresponding matched normal tissue in most cases using exome-seq, and/or low-pass whole-genome sequencing and/or RNA-seq (Supplementary Table 1). Fresh frozen samples used in the study were obtained from patients undergoing extirpative surgery for GBC. This study was conducted with IRB approval (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile IRB, Institutional Human Ethics Committee of Jiwaji University (India) and Seoul National University Hospital IRB (Seoul)) and written patient informed consent. Human tissue samples were de-identified prior to their shipment and analysis and are not considered human subject research under the US Department of Human and Health Services regulations and related guidance (45 CFR Part 46). Basic demographic information for the patient samples in the study, where available, is included in Supplementary Data 1. Tissue processing as well as simultaneous extraction of high-quality genomic DNA and total RNA from the same samples were performed as previously described^{47 (link)}. The study also included GBC cell lines TGBC24TKB, TGBC2TKB, G-415 (RIKEN Bio Resource Center, Ibaraki, Japan), OCUG-1 (Health Science Research Resources Bank, Osaka, Japan), SNU-308 (Korean Cell Line Bank, Seoul, Korea), GB-d1 (From Dr. Masao Tanaka’s lab, Japan)^{48 (link)}.

Seven human GBC cell lines GB-d1, G-415, SNU308, NOZ, TGBC1TKB, TGBC2TKB and TGBC24TKB were used for the rapid small molecule inhibitor screening. These cell lines exhibit different invasive and differentiation properties. Detalis are provide in Supplementary Table 2. G-415, NOZ, TGBC1TKB, TGBC2TKB and TGBC24TKB were purchased from Riken BioResource Center (Ibaraki, Japan), GB-d1 and SNU308 were provided by Anirban Maitra (Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA). GB-d1 was authenticated by short tandem repeat analysis.
G-415 and GB-d1 were grown in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin and maintained in a 37°C atmosphere containing 5% CO₂. The other cell lines SNU308, NOZ, TGBC1TKB, TGBC2TKB and TGBC24TKB were cultured in DMEM- high glucose with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin and maintained in a 37°C atmosphere containing 5% CO₂.
