Human post pubertal prostate normal, immortalised with SV40

Established by immortalisation of normal adult prostatic epithelial cells by transfection with a plasmid containing SV40 genome with a defective replication origin. The primary culture was obtained from the prostate of a 35 year old male at post mortem. The cells contain the SV40 genome and express large T protein. They present the phenotype of differentiated luminal prostatic cells with the expression of cytokeratin 8 and 18 (markers for luminal glandular epithelia) and vimentin. Cytokeratin14, a marker of epithelial basal cells, is not expressed. PNT1A cells are non-tumourigenic in nude mice.

PNT1A has been used to determine the variation in metabolite levels of human DU145 prostate cancer and PNT1A cells after treatment with selenomethionine (SeM) and Se-methylselenocysteine (SeMSC). It has also been used to study the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) and relaxin 2 (RLN2) on the viability, proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion of PNT1A cells.
