We conducted the establishment of erythropoietin (Epo) producing human renal cell carcinoma heterotransplanted in nude mice (JRC 901) and analysed its histopathological and biological characteristics. Regarding to histopathological analysis, JRC 901 showed renal cell carcinoma with granular cell subtype, alveolar pattern and grade II malignancy. In an effort to the electron microscopic analysis, JRC 901 showed renal cell carcinoma with microvilli, rich lipid droplets and mitochondria. As to the tumour doubling time, the JRC 901 showed 14.81 days in a logarithmic phase. As to the karyotype, the JRC 901 showed human, 46, XY, -11, 8p+, 17q-, +mar. After tumour inoculation to the nude mice, the blood level of Epo increased at 5 weeks, and its level reached at 485.2 mU/ml at 12 weeks after tumour inoculation. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining using anti-Epo showed positive staining within cytoplasm of JRC 901. Moreover, the production of Epo was observed in the level of mRNA (264 bp) using RT-PCR method. We conclude that the JRC 901 is a human renal cell carcinoma heterotransplantable to nude mice and this tumour produce the Epo after tumour inoculation to nude mice.
