IST MES2 is a human malignant pleural mesothelioma cell line with an epithelioid phenotype. The cells are spindle-shaped in culture and form a cobblestone-like pattern when confluent. Despite this, IST MES2 cells are unable to grow in nude mice. The cell line exhibits hypodiploid karyology and carries a p53 mutation. In culture, IST MES2 cells enter the exponential growth phase within 4-7 days after plating, with a doubling time ranging from 37-87 hours. The IST MES2 cell line does not respond to insulin-like growth factor-I stimulation in terms of cellular proliferation. Furthermore, the cell line is capable of releasing a constitutively high amount of IL-6 and variable levels of TGF-beta. While no spontaneous TNF-alpha secretion is detectable in the supernatant of cell lines, stimulation with LPS reveals their ability to release substantial amounts of TNF-alpha.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
The IST MES2 cell line holds significant applications in various aspects of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) research. It serves as an essential tool to highlight the biology of MPM and evaluate the efficacy of new antiproliferative compounds. Additionally, IST MES2 is a valuable cell model for identifying novel targets for innovative pharmacological therapy against MPM. Moreover, it aids in proposing molecular pathways for potential pharmacological targets, paving the way for personalized medicine in MPM patients. Furthermore, the cell line allows investigation into the development of resistance to receptor-induced cell death in malignant mesothelial cells, providing insights into therapeutic challenges and potential solutions for MPM treatment.
