Project description:We used a microarray to examine the global gene expression profile of MCF7 cells grown in 2D and 3D culture conditions. Our goal was to identify changes in the expression of genes that regulate iron metabolism when cellular spatial organization was altered.
Project description:Comparison of gene expression data between cell lines grown on 2D tissue culture plastic or 3D matrigel A427, A549, H23, H358, H460, H661, H1437, and H1703 cells were compared
Project description:* To compare surgical and oncological outcomes in patients underwent to colorectal resection with 3D vs 2D laparoscopic technique.
* To evaluate the visual overload in surgeons using 3D laparoscopic technique.
Project description:The objective of this study was to use RNAseq to determine which gene change in expression when LKR10 cells are grown in monolayers (2D) or methylcellulose on ultra low attachment plates (3D), which prevents attachment of cells to the plate and promotes formation of 3D sphere-like clusters. A secondary objective was to determine whether knockdown of Ankrd35 altered gene expression of specific genes in 2D or 3D.
Project description:In order to investigate the impact of MMP-14 (MT1-MMP) and three-dimensional (3D) culture conditions on the transcriptomes of a human breast adenocarcinoma cell line, we performed a microarray analysis from RNAs isolated from MCF-7 cells expressing either an empty vector (CTRL) or human MMP-14 cDNA (MT1) in monolayer (2D) and 3D collagen (3D Col) growth conditions. MCF-7 cells were stably transfected with either an empty vector (pcDNA3.1/Zeo) or human MMP-14 cDNA (pcDNA3.1-MMP-14/Zeo). Cells were grown for 24, 48 and 72 hours in three-dimensional (3D) type I collagen gels or in monolayer culture conditions. Cells were then lysed in TRIzol and total RNA was isolated. For each experimental condition, total RNAs isolated from 4 independant biological replicates were pooled.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the Fischer Rat Thyroid (FRT) cells comparing polarizing cells grown as a confluent two-dimensional monolayer (2D culture system) with cells grown in matrigel where they acquire a three-dimensional follicular structure (3D culture system).The goal was to identify regulators of 3D epithelial thyroid polarization and follicle formation.
