De eksperimentelle protokoller, der er beskrevet i dette dokument, giver nyttige værktøjer til at vurdere den onkogen transformation af in vitro-dyrkede celler. Hver teknik evaluerer specifikke aspekter af transformationsprocessen, og derfor skal der lægges særlig vægt på at drage konklusioner af en enkelt analyse. Vækst kurver opbygning er en tilgang, der kræver oplysninger, der allerede er tilgængelige, når dyrke celler til andre formål. Det gør denne teknik billigere og lettere at anvende i forhold til and...

Flere på hinanden følgende begivenheder er nødvendige for neoplasm udvikling. I 2011 beskrev Hanahan og Weinberg 10 kapaciteter, der muliggør transformeret cellers vækst, overlevelse og formidling: den såkaldte "Hallmarks of Cancer"1. Den metode, der er beskrevet her, samler tre forskellige værktøjer til at evaluere in vitro cellulære transformation ved at fokusere på nogle af de tumorceller 'karakteristiske træk. Disse teknikker vurderer celleprolifererende sats, adfærd celler, når dyrket i 3D og deres evne til at danne kolonier med forankring uafhængighed.
Cellemodeller er afgørende for at teste hypotese in vitro. Forskellige tilgange er blevet udviklet til at generere eksperimentelle modeller for cellulære transformation til undersøgelse af kræft2,3,4. Da brystkræft er den mest almindelige kræftform blandt kvinder på verdensplan og er ansvarlig for ca 15% af kræftdødsfaldblandt kvinder 5, giver egnede cellulære modeller af bryst epitelceller er af allerstørste betydning for yderligere undersøgelse. I denne artikel har vi illustreret potentialet i tre teknikker til at evaluere cellulære transformation ved hjælp af en eksperimentel model af Breast Primary Epithelial Cells (BPECs) transformation oprindeligt beskrevet af Ince og kolleger i 20076 og senere implementeret i vores laboratorium7. Denne eksperimentelle model er baseret på den sekventielle ændring af tre målrettede gener (SV40 Large T og små t antigener heri benævnt Ttag, hTERT, og HRAS) til genomet af ikke-transformerede BPECs. Desuden er den metode, der anvendes til BPECs afledning favoriserer vedligeholdelse af bryst epitelceller med luminal eller myoepithelial markører, hvilket resulterer i en heterogen cellekultur, der bevarer nogle af de mælkekirtlen fysiologiske træk.
I mælkekirtlen, luminal mamma epitelceller, som er ansvarlige for mælkeproduktionen, er placeret i nærheden af lumen, mens myoepithelial celler er bortskaffes omkring lysceller og tage sig af sammentrækning bevægelser fører mælken til brystvorten. Tabet af korrekt organisation mellem disse celle slægter er en funktion af tumoral transformation8, der kan vurderes in vitro efter immunfluorescerende påvisning af særprægede afstamning markører i 3D-celle kulturer. Et andet vigtigt kendetegn ved tumorceller er deres evne til at vokse uden tilknytning til andre celler og til den ekstracellulære matrix1. Når raske celler er tvunget til at vokse i suspension, mekanismer såsom anoikis \ u2012 en type celledød induceret som reaktion på løsrivelse fra den ekstracellulære matrix \u2012 aktiveres9. Unddragelse af celledød er et af de karakteristiske kendetegn ved kræft, og således er transformerede celler i stand til at inaktivere anoikier og overleve på en anker-uafhængig måde. Denne kapacitet kan evalueres in vitro med forankring-uafhængig analyse ved hjælp af blød agar. Endvidere, en iboende træk ved tumoralvæv er deres vedvarende proliferativ signalering kapacitet, som let kan overvåges under in vitro betingelser ved at måle stigningen i cellenummer langs tid, ikke kun i suspension assays, men også ved at overvåge vækstraten for monolayer tilhængere kulturer.
På trods af den bedste model til at teste tumorigenic potentiale er vaccination af tumorceller i murine modeller og evaluering af tumor udvikling in situ, Det er vigtigt at minimere antallet af dyr ansat i eksperimentelle forsøg så meget som muligt. Derfor er det en topprioritet at have passende test til at vurdere transformation in vitro. Her giver vi et sæt værktøjer til at evaluere tumorigenic potentialet i delvist og fuldt transformeret bryst epitelceller, der let kan gennemføres i de fleste af de laboratorier, der arbejder med cellulære transformation modeller.

in vitro evaluation of oncogenic transformation in human mammary epithelial cells

Tumorigenesis er en multi-trins proces, hvor celler erhverve kapaciteter, der tillader deres vækst, overlevelse, og formidling under fjendtlige forhold. Forskellige tests har til formål at identificere og kvantificere disse kendetegn ved kræftceller; men de fokuserer ofte på et enkelt aspekt af cellulære transformation og i virkeligheden, flere tests er nødvendige for deres rette karakterisering. Formålet med dette arbejde er at give forskerne et sæt værktøjer til at vurdere cellulære transformation in vitro fra et bredt perspektiv, hvilket gør det muligt at drage gode konklusioner.
En vedvarende proliferativ signalering aktivering er det vigtigste træk ved tumoralvæv og kan let overvåges under in vitro betingelser ved at beregne antallet af befolkning fordoblinger opnået over tid. Udover, væksten af celler i 3D kulturer tillader deres interaktion med omkringliggende celler, der ligner hvad der sker in vivo. Dette gør det muligt at evaluere cellulære sammenlægning og, sammen med immunfluorescerende mærkning af karakteristiske cellulære markører, at indhente oplysninger om et andet relevant træk ved tumoral transformation: tab af ordentlig organisation. Et andet bemærkelsesværdigt kendetegn ved transformerede celler er deres evne til at vokse uden fastgørelse til andre celler og til den ekstracellulære matrix, som kan evalueres med forankringsanalysen.
Detaljerede eksperimentelle procedurer til vurdering af cellevækst, til at udføre immunfluorescerende mærkning af cellelinjemarkører i 3D-kulturer og til at teste forankringsuafhængig cellevækst i blød agar. Disse metoder er optimeret til Breast Primary Epitelceller (BPEC) på grund af dens relevans i brystkræft; Procedurer kan dog anvendes på andre celletyper efter nogle justeringer.

En eksperimentel model for cellulær transformation med indførelsen af tre genetiske elementer i BPECs blev valgt for at skabe repræsentative resultater af onkogen transformation6,7 (Figur 3). Ikke-transformerede BPEC 'er (N) var afledt af sygdomsfrit brystvæv som beskrevet af Ince og kolleger6 og dyrket efter den protokol, der er angivet her. Efter at have overvundet STASIS (stres...
