Abstract:
Objective To explore an optimal model of three dimensional in vitro cell culture for simulating solid tumors in vivo . Methods The model of three dimensional cell culture was constructed under the conditions of inhibiting the cell wall attachment and stirring the medium. Multicellular spheroids (MCS) were cultured using microcarriers (CutiSpher). Drug sensitivity of monolayer cells (MC) and MCS was tested by MTT staining and cytometry, respectively. Ultrastructures of the MC and MCS were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Cells in three dimensional cell culture model without microcarriers were compacted into mass at 4 d while cells in MCS were found to attach to the microcarriers at 0.5 h. MCS had more than two layers of cells growing within it at 5 d. Compared with MC, MCS was more resistant to the anticancer drug, and had more plenty of organell and microvilli with more extensive and compact cell adhesion. Conclusion MCS has strong developmental properties and can simulate the cell cell interactions in vivo , especially cell adhesion, which may contribute to the drug resistance of MCS.
