The HT-55 is a human colon cancer cell line derived from the rectum of a 54-year-old white female patient with rectal adenocarcinoma. The cells display well-differentiated cancer morphology and grow in adherent clumps that resemble columnar epithelium with a clear border. These clumps show an island growth pattern, forming multiple layers at the center. HT-55 cells retain certain intestinal epithelial functional characteristics, including the expression of epithelial cell polarity-related proteins, but their specific secretory functions have not yet been fully elucidated. As a rectal adenocarcinoma model, this cell carries multiple colorectal cancer characteristic gene mutations: APC gene (p.Gln1131Ter, p.Gln1303Ter, p.Arg1463Ser), TP53 gene (p.Arg213Leu), BRAF gene (p.Asn581Tyr) and DNMT3A gene (p.Lys241Ter), etc. These mutation spectra make it an ideal model for studying the pathogenesis and targeted therapy of colorectal cancer.

HT-55 is a valuable model for studying potential therapies for human rectal cancer. In studies involving HT-55, cell proliferation and death can be affected by anti-cancer drugs through the ERK 1/2, p38-MAPK, and PI3K/AKT pathways of ERK 1/2, p38-MARK, and PI3K/AKT. Further investigation can explore the utilization of existing anti-cancer therapy targeting these pathways in HT-55. Moreover, a BRAF mutation (N581Y) has been detected in HT-55, indicating that HT-55 can help improve strategies combining anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies with BRAF inhibitors for BRAF mutant cancers to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.
