Clinically relevant in vitro methods are needed to identify new cancer drugs for solid tumors. We report on a new 3-D spheroid cell culture system aimed to mimic the properties of solid tumors in vivo. The colon cancer cell lines HCT-116 wt and HCT-116 wt/GFP were grown as monolayers and for 3 or 6 days on 96-well NanoCulture® plates to form spheroids. Expression of surface markers, genes and hypoxia were assessed to characterize the spheroids and drug induced cytotoxicity was evaluated based on ...[more]

Project description:Spheroids, near spherical multicellular aggregates, are one of the most common types of threedimensional (3D) cell cultures. Despite decades of implementation of spheroid technology in various fields of life science and medical research, no minimal information (MI) guidelines are available to cope with heterogeneity and to stimulate transparency. To cope with this unmet need, we assembled an international consortium to develop the MISpheroID knowledgebase (https://www.mispheroid.org) and interrogation revealed heterogeneity and lack of transparency in published spheroid-related experiments. This steered us to empirically evaluate the impact of cell line, culture medium type, spheroid formation method and spheroid size on complementary spheroid metrics (RNA fingerprints, presence of cell death, ATP content, glucose to lactate conversion, secreted protein signatures, circularity, size and cancer therapy response). We measured media-induced transcriptional variation in lung cancer (A549), colorectal cancer (HCT116), ovarium cancer (SKOV3) and glioblastoma (U87MG) spheroids using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). These spheroids were formed in ultra-low attachment plates and cultured in 6 different media types (DMEM high glucose, DMEM/F12, RPMI1640, DMEM low glucose, EMEM and MEM) for 5 (HCT116) or 7 (A549, SKOV3 and U87MG) days. RNA extraction was performed on 2 spheroids per condition using the miRNeasy micro kit (217084, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared from purified RNA using the QuantSeq 3' mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina (Lexogen, Vienna, Austria) according to the manufacturer's instructions, using 27.5ng of RNA that was DNase treated using HL-dsDNA (Arcticzymes, TromsØ, Norway). The individual libraries were quantified by qPCR using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit (Roche, Pleasanton, CA, US) and equimolarly pooled. The pool concentration was measured with Qubit and 1.4pM with 1% PhiX was sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, US) using a high-output 1x75 run. Reads were mapped to the human genome using Tophat and gene expression counts were generated using HTSeq. This data was used to perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).
