Three-dimensional cell cultures, such as spheroids or organoids, serve as important models for drug screening purposes. Optical tissue clearing (OTC) enhances the visualization of fluorescence stainings and enables in toto microscopy of 3D cell culture models. Furthermore, subsequent automated image analysis tools convert qualitative confocal image sets into quantitative data. In this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for preparation of HT29 cancer spheroids, 3D in toto immunostaining, glycerol-based OTC, whole-mount imaging, and semi-automated downstream image processing and segmentation for nuclear image analysis using open-source software.
三维细胞培养物,如球体或类器官,可作为药物筛选的重要模型。光学组织透明化(OTC)增强了荧光染色的可视化效果,并能够对 3D 细胞培养模型进行整体显微镜观察。此外,后续的自动化图像分析工具可将定性共聚焦图像集转换为定量数据。在本章中,我们描述了详细的方案,包括制备 HT29 癌细胞球体、整体免疫染色、基于甘油的 OTC、整体成像,以及使用开源软件对半自动化的核图像分析的下游图像处理和分割。
