Emulsion technologies for multicellular tumour spheroid radiation assays.
A major limitation with current in vitro technologies for testing anti-cancer therapies at the pre-clinical level is the use of 2D cell culture models which provide a poor reflection of the tumour physiology in vivo. Three dimensional cell culture models, such as the multicellular spheroid, provide instead a more accurate representation. However, existing spheroid-based assessment methods are g...
متن کاملModels of tumour spheroid response to radiation: identifiability analysis
Two spatially uniform models of tumour growth after a single instantaneous radiative treatment are presented in this paper. The two ordinary differential equations models presented may be obtained from two equivalent partial derivative equations models, by integration with respect to the radial distance. The main purpose of the paper is to study their identifiability properties. In fact, a prel...
متن کاملCuZnSOD and MnSOD inhibit metabolic stress-induced necrosis and multicellular tumour spheroid growth.
CuZnSOD and MnSOD have been shown to exert tumour suppressive activities; however, their exact molecular mechanism is still unclear. We investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the tumour suppressive activities of CuZnSOD and MnSOD using multicellular tumour spheroid (MTS), an in vitro tumour model. Overexpression of CuZnSOD and MnSOD significantly suppressed the growth of A549 and MCF-7...
متن کاملA Hybrid Cellular Automata Model of Multicellular Tumour Spheroid Growth in Hypoxic Microenvironment
A three-dimensional hybrid cellular automata (CA) model is developed to study the dynamic process of multicellular tumour spheroid (MTS) growth by introducing hypoxia as an important microenvironment factor which influences cell migration and cell phenotype expression. The model enables us to examine the effects of different hypoxic environments on the growth history of the MTS and to study the...
متن کاملHigh-content analysis of tumour cell invasion in three-dimensional spheroid assays
Targeting infiltrating tumour cells is an attractive way of combating cancer invasion and metastasis. Here we describe a novel and reproducible method for high content analysis of invading cells using multicellular tumour spheroid assays in a high grade glioma model. Live cell imaging of spheroids generated from glioma cell lines, U87 and U251, gave insight into migration dynamics and cell morp...
