The protocol described above outlines a method to produce identical epithelial tissues of pre-defined shape, enabling spatial control of the mechanical stress experienced by cells in the tissue. An elastomeric mold is used to create cavities in type I collagen that are then filled with epithelial cells and covered with an additional collagen layer such that cells are completely encapsulated in a 3D collagen matrix environment. Further culture of these tissues and treatment with growth factors to induce branching from the...

Le développement des tissus épithéliaux ramifiés, appelés morphogenèse de ramification, est régi par, et des facteurs environnementaux physiques dérivés de cellules. Dans la glande mammaire, la morphogenèse de ramification est un processus itératif par lequel guidé la migration cellulaire collective crée une architecture arborescente. La première étape est la formation des bourgeons primaires des conduits de lait, suivi par branche d&#39; initiation et de l&#39; allongement de 1,2. Invasion des branches dans le stroma environnant est induite par la libération systémique des hormones stéroïdes à la puberté. Les nouveaux bourgeons primaires déclenchent alors des extrémités des branches existantes, et ce processus continue de créer un arbre épithéliales 3. Bien que de nombreux signaux biochimiques importants ont été identifiés, une compréhension globale des mécanismes cellulaires biologiques qui guident ce processus complexe du développement fait actuellement défaut. En outre, des études mécanistiques sur les influences des indices spécifiques sont difficiles à déconstruire de expéments in vivo, des perturbations et des mesures spatio - temporelles aussi précises ne sont souvent pas possible. En trois dimensions (3D) des techniques de culture, telles que la culture ensemble d&#39;organes, organites primaires, et des modèles de culture cellulaire, sont des outils utiles pour enquêter systématiquement sur ​​les mécanismes sous - jacents de la morphogenèse des tissus 4-6. Ceux - ci peuvent être particulièrement utiles pour déterminer l&#39;influence des facteurs spécifiques individuellement, telles que des forces mécaniques et des signaux biochimiques, sur une variété de comportements cellulaires, y compris la migration, la prolifération et la différenciation. 6 modèles de culture cellulaire d&#39; ingénierie, en particulier, facilement activer la perturbation des cellules individuelles et leur microenvironnement. Un tel modèle de culture utilise une approche basée sur la microfabrication à concevoir le modèle des tissus épithéliales mammaires avec structure 3D contrôlée qui forment de manière cohérente et reproductible branches qui migrent collectivement lorsque induite par l&#39;unles facteurs de croissance ppropriate. Le principal avantage de ce modèle est la possibilité de manipuler avec précision et de mesurer les effets des facteurs physiques et biochimiques, tels que les modèles de contrainte mécanique, avec confiance statistique élevé. Cette technique, ainsi que la modélisation informatique, a déjà été utilisé pour déterminer les contributions relatives des signaux physiques et biochimiques dans la direction du développement normal des tissus épithéliales mammaires et d&#39; autres épithéliums ramifiés 7-11. Présenté ici est un protocole détaillé pour la construction de ces tissus de modèles, qui peuvent être facilement étendues à d&#39;autres types de cellules et la matrice extracellulaire (ECM) de gels, et qui sert comme un outil potentiel pour les essais de produits thérapeutiques.

engineering three-dimensional epithelial tissues embedded within extracellular matrix

The architecture of branched organs such as the lungs, kidneys, and mammary glands arises through the developmental process of branching morphogenesis, which is regulated by a variety of soluble and physical signals in the microenvironment. Described here is a method created to study the process of branching morphogenesis by forming engineered three-dimensional (3D) epithelial tissues of defined shape and size that are completely embedded within an extracellular matrix (ECM). This method enables the formation of arrays of identical tissues and enables the control of a variety of environmental factors, including tissue geometry, spacing, and ECM composition. This method can also be combined with widely used techniques such as traction force microscopy (TFM) to gain more information about the interactions between cells and their surrounding ECM. The protocol can be used to investigate a variety of cell and tissue processes beyond branching morphogenesis, including cancer invasion.
