Primary human breast cancers invade surrounding fat and contact adipocytes, inflammatory infiltrates, and fibrous stroma. This tissue niche influences breast tumor progression. Here, we present a protocol to enable the study of the complex interactions that occur between breast cancer cells and adipose cells. We describe how to obtain different adipose cell populations, including adipose-derived stem cells, immature adipocytes, and mature adipocytes, from human breast fat tissue and detail the application for co-culture assays with breast cancer cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Picon-Ruiz et al. (2016) and Qureshi et al. (2020).
原发性人乳腺癌侵犯周围脂肪组织并与脂肪细胞、炎症浸润物和纤维基质接触。这个组织小生境影响着乳腺肿瘤的进展。在这里,我们提供了一个方案,以研究乳腺癌细胞和脂肪细胞之间发生的复杂相互作用。我们描述了如何从人乳腺脂肪组织中获得不同的脂肪细胞群体,包括脂肪来源的干细胞、未成熟脂肪细胞和成熟脂肪细胞,并详细说明了与乳腺癌细胞共培养实验的应用。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参见 Picon-Ruiz 等人(2016 年)和 Qureshi 等人(2020 年)的文献。
