We assessed the correlation between Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) morphology and the oncological profile of lung cancer cells. MCTS were generated in five lung cancer cell lines and classified into Type-A MCTS, which showed strong aggregation, and Type-B MCTS, which showed weak aggregation. Drug resistance was higher in Type-A MCTS, and invasive ability was higher in Type-B MCTS. The oncologic profile of lung cancer cell lines correlated with MCTS morphology. MCTS morphology could thus be used in basic oncology research and as a clinical prognostic tool.Registry and the Registration No. of the study/trial Not Applicable.
我们评估了多细胞肿瘤球体(MCTS)形态与肺癌细胞肿瘤学特征之间的相关性。在五种肺癌细胞系中生成了MCTS,并将其分为表现出强聚集性的A型MCTS和表现出弱聚集性的B型MCTS。A型MCTS的耐药性较高,而B型MCTS的侵袭能力较高。肺癌细胞系的肿瘤学特征与MCTS形态相关。因此,MCTS形态可用于基础肿瘤学研究和作为临床预后工具。研究/试验的注册机构和注册号:不适用。
