Abstract Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a mesenchymal malignancy characterized by the rearrangement of ASPSCR1 and TFE3 and a histologically distinctive pseudoalveolar pattern. Although alveolar soft-part sarcoma takes an indolent course, its longterm prognosis is poor because of late distant metastases. Currently, curative treatments have not been found for alveolar soft-part sarcoma, and hence, a novel therapeutic strategy has long been required. Patient-derived cell lines comprise an important tool for basic and preclinical research. However, few cell lines from alveolar soft-part sarcoma have been reported in the literature because it is an extremely rare malignancy, accounting for less than 1% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. This study aimed to establish a novel alveolar soft-part sarcoma cell line. Using surgically-resected tumor tissue of alveolar softpart sarcoma, we successfully established a cell line and named it NCC-ASPS1-C1. The NCC-ASPS1-C1 cells harbored an ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion gene and exhibited slow growth, and spheroid formation. On the other hand, NCC-ASPS1-C1 did not show the capability of invasion. We screened the antiproliferative effects of 195 anticancer agents, including Food and Drug Administration-approved anticancer drugs. We found that the MET inhibitor tivantinib and multi-kinase inhibitor orantinib inhibited the proliferation of NCC-ASPS1-C1 cells. The clinical utility and molecular mechanisms of antitumor effects of these drugs are worth investigating in the further studies, and NCC-ASPS1-C1 cells will be a useful tool for the in vitro study of alveolar soft-part sarcoma.

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a mesenchymal malignancy that is characterized by the presence of the specific chromosome translocation, der(17)t(X;17) (p11.2;q25). This fusion of TFE3 tran
