Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cultures can recapitulate the physiological in vivo microenvironment. 3D Modeling techniques have been investigated and applied in anticancer drug screening.
A silicate fiber scaffold was used for 3D cell cultures, and used to model the efficacy of anticancer drugs, such as mytomicin C and doxorubicin.
A unique 3D structure was observed in 13 human tumor cell lines on scaffold, and these cells exhibited higher drug resistance than cells in two-dimensional (2D) cultures. Furthermore, the production of lactate and expression of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-regulated genes B cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were higher in 3D cultures than in 2D cultures.
These findings suggest that a 3D model using a silicate fiber scaffold can mimic features of cancer, and is also a suitable model for the evaluation of anticancer drugs in vitro.
三维(3D)体外培养可以再现生理体内微环境。3D 建模技术已被研究并应用于抗癌药物筛选。
使用硅酸盐纤维支架进行 3D 细胞培养,并用于模拟抗癌药物如丝裂霉素 C 和多柔比星的疗效。
在支架上的 13 个人类肿瘤细胞系中观察到独特的 3D 结构,这些细胞比二维(2D)培养中的细胞表现出更高的耐药性。此外,乳酸的产生和核因子-κB(NF-κB)调节基因 B 细胞淋巴瘤-2(BCL2)、环氧化酶-2(COX2)和血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的表达在 3D 培养中高于 2D 培养。
这些发现表明,使用硅酸盐纤维支架的 3D 模型可以模拟癌症的特征,也是体外评估抗癌药物的合适模型。
