Abstract

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is one of the most common soft-tissue sarcomas in elderly patients. Owing to the limited efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, complete resection is the only available curative treatment. Therefore, developing novel therapies for MFS is important to improve clinical outcomes. Herein, a novel MFS cell line, namely SMU-MFS, was established to better understand the biologic characteristics of MFS and develop new therapies. A tissue sample from the surgically resected tumor tissue of a 56-year-old patient with a tumor was subjected to primary culture. The cell line was established and authenticated by assessing the short tandem repeats of DNA microsatellites. The monolayer cultures of SMU-MFS cells exhibited constant growth, spheroid formation, and invasive capacity. Furthermore, the cells exhibited low chemosensitivity to doxorubicin, eribulin, and pazopanib, which are used to inhibit metastatic progression. In addition, of the four mice inoculated with SMU-MFS cells, tumors developed in two mice after 8 weeks. Altogether, the findings of this study suggest that the SMU-MFS cell line can be a useful tool for investigating MFS development and evaluating novel therapeutic agents.
