Did the four human cancer cell lines DLD-1, HCT-15, HCT-8, and HRT-18 originate from one and the same patient? [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Four human colon cancer cell lines, HCT-8, HRT-18, DLD-1, and HCT-15, with an epithelioid morphotype reproducibly formed alpha-catenin-deficient round cells. Using DNA fingerprinting, we found that these four cell lines have an identical genetic background. Our finding strongly suggests a genetic background for the reproducible loss of alpha-catenin and the ensuing acquisition of invasiveness in all four cell lines.
