In an attempt to reveal the genetic and epigenetic abnormalities in early stage of carcinogenesis of human lung cancer, a human bronchial epithelial cell line was immortalized by transfection with the Simian virus early region genes (SV40T); the biological features of the stable transfected cells were compared to human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens. The immortalized bronchial epithelial cells did not develop tumors but premalignant lesions in animal models. However, several genetic changes, including chromosome deletion and aneuploidy, altered expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes occur not only in invasive NSCLC (human specimens) but also in the early stage of lung carcinogenesis (premalignant lesions) in this transfection model.
