HeLa(/ˈhiːlɑː/) is animmortalized cell lineused in scientific research. It is the oldesthuman cell lineand one of the most commonly used.[1][2]HeLa cells are durable and prolific, allowing for extensive applications in scientific study.[3][4]The line is derived fromcervical cancercells taken on February 8, 1951,[5]fromHenrietta Lacks,a 31-year-old African American mother of five, after whom the line is named. Lacks died of cancer on October 4, 1951.[6]

The cells from Lacks's cancerous cervical tumor were taken without her knowledge, which was common practice in the United States at the time.[7]Cell biologistGeorge Otto Geyfound that they could be kept alive,[8]and developed acell line.Previously, cells cultured from other human cells would survive for only a few days, but cells from Lacks's tumor behaved differently.

History

[edit]

Origin

[edit]

In 1951,Henrietta Lackswas admitted to theJohns Hopkins Hospitalwith symptoms of irregular vaginal bleeding; she was subsequently treated for cervical cancer.[9]Her first treatment was performed by Lawrence Wharton Jr., who at that time collected tissue samples from her cervix without her consent.[10]Her cervical biopsy supplied samples of tissue for clinical evaluation and research byGeorge Otto Gey,head of the Tissue Culture Laboratory. Gey's lab assistant Mary Kubicek used the roller-tube technique to culture the cells.[9]It was observed that the cells grew robustly, doubling every 20–24 hours, unlike previous specimens, which died out.[11]

The cells were propagated by Gey shortly before Lacks died of her cancer in 1951. This was the first human cell line to prove successfulin vitro,which was a scientific achievement with profound future benefit to medical research. Gey freely donated these cells, along with the tools and processes that his lab developed, to any scientist requesting them, simply for the benefit of science. Neither Lacks nor her family gave permission to harvest the cells.[12]The cells were later commercialized, although never patented in their original form. There was no requirement at that time to inform patients or their relatives about such matters, because discarded material or material obtained during surgery, diagnosis, or therapy was the property of the physician or the medical institution.[citation needed]

As was customary for Gey's lab assistant, the culture was named after the first two letters of Henrietta Lacks' first and last names, He + La.[9]Before a leak to the public in the 1970s, which revealed her true name, the "HeLa" cell line was mistakenly believed to have been named after a "Helen Lane" or "Helen Larson".[4][13]

When other cell cultures were being invaded by suspected HeLa cells, one research group contacted the Lacks family,[when?]seeking DNA samples to help identify contaminating cell lines. The family never understood the purpose of the visit, but they were distressed by their understanding of what the researchers told them.[13][14]These cells are treated as cancer cells, as they are descended from a biopsy taken from a visible lesion on the cervix as part of Lacks's diagnosis of cancer.[15]

HeLa cells, like other cell lines, are termed "immortal"because they can divide an unlimited number of times in a laboratory cell culture plate, as long as fundamental cell survival conditions are met (i.e. being maintained and sustained in a suitable environment). There are manystrainsof HeLa cells, because they mutate during division incell cultures,but all HeLa cells are descended from the same tumor cells removed from Lacks. The total number of HeLa cells that have been propagated in cell culture far exceeds the total number of cells that were in Henrietta Lacks's body.[16]

Controversy

[edit]

Lacks's case is one of many examples of the lack ofinformed consentin 20th-century medicine. Communication between tissue donors and doctors was virtually nonexistent—cells were taken without patient consent, and patients were not told what the cells would be used for. Johns Hopkins Hospital, where Lacks received treatment and had her tissue harvested, was the only hospital in the Baltimore area where African American patients could receive free care. The patients who received free care from this segregated sect of the hospital often became research subjects without their knowledge.[17]Lacks's family also had no access to her patient files and had no say in who received HeLa cells or what they would be used for. Additionally, as HeLa cells were popularized and used more frequently throughout the scientific community, Lacks's relatives received no financial benefit and continued to live with limited access to healthcare.[18][13]

This issue of who owns tissue samples taken for research was brought up in theSupreme Court of Californiacase ofMoore v. Regents of the University of Californiain 1990. The court ruled that a person's discarded tissue and cells are not his or her property and can be commercialized.[19]

Lacks's case influenced the establishment of theCommon Rulein 1991. The Common Rule enforces informed consent by ensuring that doctors inform patients if they plan to use any details of the patient's case in research and give them the choice of disclosing the details or not. Tissues connected to their donors' names are also strictly regulated under this rule, and samples are no longer named using donors' initials, but rather by code numbers.[19]To further resolve the issue of patient privacy, Johns Hopkins established a joint committee with the NIH and several of Lacks's family members to determine who receives access to Henrietta Lacks's genome.[20]

In 2021, Henrietta Lacks's estate sued to get past and future payments for the alleged unauthorized and widely known sale of HeLa cells byThermo Fisher Scientific.[21]Lacks's family hired an attorney to seek compensation from upwards of 100 pharmaceutical companies that have used and profited from HeLa cells.[22]Settlement of the suit with Thermo Fisher Scientific was announced in August 2023, with undisclosed terms.[23]Subsequent to the settlement it was announced that the Lacks family was suing the companyUltragenyx.[24]

Use in research

[edit]

HeLa cells were the first human cells to be successfully cloned in 1953, byTheodore PuckandPhilip I. Marcusat theUniversity of Colorado, Denver.[25]Since then, HeLa cells have "continually been used for research into cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and toxic substances, gene mapping, and countless other scientific pursuits."[26]According to authorRebecca Skloot,by 2009, "more than 60,000 scientific articles had been published about research done on HeLa [cells], and that number was increasing steadily at a rate of more than 300 papers each month."[19]

Polio eradication

[edit]

HeLa cells were used byJonas Salkto test the firstpolio vaccinein the 1950s. They were observed to be easily infected by thepoliomyelitisvirus, causing infected cells to die.[5]This made HeLa cells highly desirable for polio vaccine testing, since results could be easily obtained. A large volume of HeLa cells were needed for the testing of Salk's polio vaccine, prompting theNational Foundation for Infantile Paralysis(NFIP) to find a facility capable of mass-producing HeLa cells.[27]In the spring of 1953, a cell culture factory was established atTuskegee Universityto supply Salk and other labs with HeLa cells.[28]Less than a year later, Salk's vaccine was ready for human trials.[29]

Virology

[edit]

HeLa cells have been used in testing howparvovirusinfects cells of humans, dogs, and cats.[30]These cells have also been used to study viruses such as theoropouche virus(OROV). OROV causes disruption of cells in culture; the cells start to degenerate shortly after they are infected, causingviral induction of apoptosis.[31]HeLa cells have been used to study expression of thepapillomavirusE2 and apoptosis.[32]HeLa cells have also been used to study the ability of thecanine distempervirus to induceapoptosisin cancer cell lines,[33]which could play an important role in developing treatments for tumor cells resistant to radiation and chemotherapy.[33]

HeLa cells have also been instrumental in the development ofhuman papilloma virus(HPV) vaccines. In the 1980s,Harald zur Hausenfound that Lacks's cells from the original biopsy contained HPV-18, which was later found to be the cause of the aggressive cancer that had killed her. His work in linking HPV with cervical cancer won him a Nobel Prize and led to the development of HPV vaccines, which are predicted to reduce the number of deaths from cervical cancer by 70%.[34]

Over the years, HeLa cells have been infected with various types of viruses, including HIV, Zika, mumps, and herpes viruses to test and develop new vaccines and drugs. Dr. Richard Axel discovered that the addition of the CD4 protein to HeLa cells enabled them to be infected with HIV, allowing the virus to be studied.[35]In 1979, scientists learned that the measles virus constantly mutates when it infects HeLa cells,[36]and in 2019 they found that Zika cannot multiply in HeLa cells.[37]

Cancer

[edit]

HeLa cells have been used in a number of cancer studies, including those involving sex steroid hormones, such asestradiolandestrogen,andestrogen receptors,along with estrogen-like compounds, such asquercetin,which has cancer-reducing properties.[38]There have also been studies on HeLa cells, involving the effects of flavonoids and antioxidants with estradiol on cancer cell proliferation.

In 2011, HeLa cells were used in tests of novelheptamethine dyesIR-808 and other analogues, which are currently being explored for their unique uses in medical diagnostics, the individualized treatment of cancer patients with the aid ofPDT,co-administration with other drugs, andirradiation.[39][40]HeLa cells have been used in research involvingfullerenesto induce apoptosis as a part ofphotodynamic therapy,as well as inin vitrocancer research using cell lines.[41]HeLa cells have also been used to define cancer markers in RNA, and have been used to establish anRNAi Based Identification System and Interference of Specific Cancer Cells.[42]

In 2014, HeLa cells were shown to provide a viable cell line for tumorxenograftsinC57BL/6nude mice,[43]and were subsequently used to examine thein vivoeffects offluoxetineandcisplatinon cervical cancer.

Genetics

[edit]

In 1953, a lab mistake involving mixing HeLa cells with the wrong liquid allowed researchers for the first time to see and count each chromosome clearly in the HeLa cells with which they were working. This accidental discovery led scientistsJoe Hin TjioandAlbert Levanto develop better techniques for staining and counting chromosomes.[34]They were the first to show that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes rather than 24, as was previously believed. This was important for the study of developmental disorders, such asDown syndrome,that involve the number of chromosomes.

In 1965,Henry Harrisand John Watkins created the first human-animal hybrid by fusing HeLa cells with mouse embryo cells. This enabled advances in mapping genes to specific chromosomes, which would eventually lead to theHuman Genome Project.[34]

Space microbiology

[edit]

In the 1960s, HeLa cells were sent on the Soviet satelliteSputnik-6and human space missions to determine the long term effects of space travel on living cells and tissues. Scientists discovered that HeLa cells divide more quickly in zero gravity.[44]

Analysis

[edit]

Telomerase

[edit]

The HeLacell linewas derived for use incancer research.These cells proliferate abnormally rapidly, even compared with other cancer cells. Like many other cancer cells,[45]HeLa cells have an active version oftelomeraseduring cell division,[46]which copies telomeres over and over again. This prevents the incremental shortening oftelomeresthat is implicated in aging and eventual cell death. In this way, the cells circumvent theHayflick limit,which is the limited number of cell divisions that most normal cells can undergo before becomingsenescent.This results in unlimited cell division and immortality.

Chromosome number

[edit]

Horizontal gene transferfromhuman papillomavirus18 (HPV18) tohumancervical cells created the HeLa genome, which is different from Henrietta Lacks's genome in various ways, including the number of chromosomes. HeLa cells are rapidly dividing cancer cells, and the number of chromosomes varies during cancer formation and cell culture. The current estimate (excluding very tiny fragments) is a "hypertriploid chromosome number (3n+)", which means 76 to 80 total chromosomes (rather than the normal diploid number of 46) with 22–25 clonally abnormal chromosomes, known as "HeLa signature chromosomes".[47][48][49][50]The signature chromosomes can be derived from multiple original chromosomes, making summary counts based on original numbering challenging. Researchers have also noted how stable these aberrantkaryotypescan be.[47]Studies that combined spectral karyotyping,FISH,and conventional cytogenic techniques have shown that the detected chromosomal aberrations may be representative of advanced cervical carcinomas and were probably present in the primary tumor, since the HeLa genome has remained stable, even after years of continued cultivation.[47]

Complete genome sequence

[edit]

The completegenomeof HeLa cells wassequencedand published on 11 March 2013,[51][52]without the Lacks family's knowledge.[53]Concerns were raised by the family, so the authors voluntarily withheld access to the sequence data.[53]Jay Shendureled a HeLa sequencing project at the University of Washington, which resulted in a paper that had been accepted for publication in March 2013 – but that was also put on hold while the Lacks family's privacy concerns were addressed.[54]On 7 August 2013,NIHdirectorFrancis Collinsannounced a policy of controlled access to the cell line genome, based on an agreement reached after three meetings with the Lacks family.[55]A data-access committee will review requests from researchers for access to the genome sequence, under the criteria that the study is for medical research and that the users will abide by terms in the HeLa Genome Data Use Agreement, which includes that all NIH-funded researchers will deposit the data in a single database for future sharing. The committee consists of six members, including representatives from the medical, scientific, and bioethics fields, as well as two members of the Lacks family.[55]In an interview, Collins praised the Lacks family's willingness to participate in a situation that was thrust upon them. He described the whole experience with them as "powerful," saying that it brought together "science, scientific history and ethical concerns" in a unique way.[56]

Contamination

[edit]

HeLa cells are sometimes difficult to control, because they adapt to growth in tissue culture plates and invade and outcompete other cell lines. Through improper maintenance, they have been known to contaminate other cell cultures in the same laboratory, interfering with biological research and forcing researchers to declare many results invalid. The degree of HeLa cell contamination among other cell types is unknown, because few researchers test the identity or purity of already established cell lines. It has been shown that a substantial fraction ofin vitrocell lines are contaminated with HeLa cells; estimates range from 10% to 20%. This observation suggests that any cell line may be susceptible to a degree of contamination.Stanley Gartler(1967) andWalter Nelson-Rees(1975) were the first to publish on contamination of various cell lines by HeLa cells.[27]Gartler noted that "with the continued expansion of cell culture technology, it is almost certain that both interspecific and intraspecific contamination will occur."[9]

HeLa cell contamination has become a pervasive worldwide problem – affecting even the laboratories of many notable physicians, scientists, and researchers, includingJonas Salk.The HeLa contamination problem also contributed toCold Wartensions. The USSR and the USA had begun to cooperate in thewar on cancerlaunched by PresidentRichard Nixon,only to find that the exchanged cells were contaminated by HeLa.[57]

Rather than focus on how to resolve the problem of HeLa cell contamination, many scientists and science writers continue to document this problem as simply a contamination issue – caused not by human error or shortcomings but by the hardiness, proliferation, or overpowering nature of HeLa cells.[58]Recent data suggest that cross-contamination is still a major problem with modern cell cultures.[3][59]The International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC) notes that many cases of cell line misidentification are the result of cross-contamination of the culture by another, faster-growing cell line. This calls into question the validity of the research done using contaminated cell lines, as certain attributes of the contaminant, which may come from an entirely different species or tissue, may be misattributed to the cell line under investigation.[60]

New species proposal

[edit]

HeLa cells were described byevolutionary biologistLeigh Van Valenas an example of the contemporary creation of a new species, dubbedHelacyton gartleri,owing to their ability to replicate indefinitely and their non-human number ofchromosomes.The species was named after geneticistStanley M. Gartler,whom Van Valen credits with discovering "the remarkable success of this species".[61]His argument for speciation depends on these points:

  • the chromosomal incompatibility of HeLa cells with human cells;
  • theecological nicheof HeLa cells;
  • their ability to persist and expand well beyond the desires of human cultivators;
  • the possession by HeLa cells of their own clonalkaryotype,defining it as a distinct species.[62]

Van Valen proposed the new family Helacytidae and the genusHelacyton,and in the same paper proposed a new species for HeLa cells.[63]

However, this proposal was not taken seriously by other prominent evolutionary biologists, nor by scientists in other disciplines. Van Valen's argument that HeLa are a new species does not fulfill the criteria for an independent unicellular asexually reproducing species, because of the notorious instability of HeLa's karyotype and their lack of a strict ancestral-descendant lineage.[64]
