Abstract A transplantable tumour line (SS) was established in syngeneic rats from a spontaneous fibrosarcoma that had arisen in the submandibular salivary gland of a 24-month-old male F344 rat. A cell line (SS-P) was induced from SS, and a cloned cell line (SS-A3-1) was isolated from SS-P. The primary tumour consisted of oval to spindle-shaped cells arranged in bundles with abundant collagen fibres; ultrastructurally, neoplastic cells exhibited fusiform morphology with prominent rough endoplasmic reticulum. SS tumours showed marked interlacing fascicle and herring-bone growth patterns. SS-P and SS-A3-1 were simmilar morphologically to each other, consisting of oval, spindle or polygonal cells and occasional multinucleated giant cells. Tumours induced by SS-P and SS-A3-1 were histologically similar to SS tumours. Immunohistochemically, all cells in the primary tumour, SS tumours and tumours induced both by SS-P and SS-A3-1 and by SS-P and SS-A3-1 cultures gave a positive reaction to vimentin. Interestingly, neoplastic cells reacting to ED1 (rat macrophage/histiocyte-specific antibody) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) appeared in SS tumours and tumours induced by SS-P and SS-A3-1 and by SS-P and SS-A3-1 cultures. Cells with histiocytic fine structures and myofibroblastic cells with cytoplasmic actin-like microfilaments were also observed by electron microscopy. The present rat fibrosarcoma-derived transplantable tumour line (SS) and cell lines (SS-P and SS-A3-1) might express myofibroblastic and histiocytic phenotypes, probably depending on the surrounding conditions. These cell lines may prove useful for studying the mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity in neoplastic fibroblasts.
