A 3D Skin Melanoma Spheroid-Based Model to Assess Tumor-Immune Cell Interactions

[Abstract]  Three-dimensional (3D) tumor spheroids have the potential to bridge the gap between two-dimensional (2D) monolayer tumor cell cultures and solid tumors with which they share a significant degree of similarity. However, the progression of solid tumors is often influenced by the dynamic and reciprocal interactions between tumor and immune cells. Here we present a 3D tumor spheroid-based model that might shed new light on understanding the mechanisms of tumor and immune cell interactions. The model first utilizes the hanging drop assay, which serves as one of the simplest methods for generating 3D spheroids and requires no specialized equipment. Next, pre-established spheroids can be co-cultured either directly or indirectly with an immune cell population of interest. Using skin melanoma, we ... [摘要]  [摘要]三维(3D)肿瘤球体具有弥合二维(2D)单层肿瘤细胞培养物与实体瘤之间的差距的潜力,它们之间有着显着的相似性。然而,实体瘤的进展通常受肿瘤与免疫细胞之间的动态相互作用和相互影响的影响。在这里,我们提出了一个基于3D肿瘤球体的模型,该模型可能会为了解肿瘤与免疫细胞相互作用的机制提供新的思路。的该模型首先利用了悬滴法,这是生成3D球体的最简单方法之一,不需要专门的设备。接下来,可以将预先建立的球体与目标免疫细胞群体直接或间接共培养。使用皮肤黑色素瘤,我们提供了该模型的详细说明,这可能对成功治疗策略的开发具有重要意义。

[背景]三维(3D)肿瘤球体是球形的自组装肿瘤细胞聚集体,类似于微转移瘤并复制实体瘤的许多特征。就像在无血管实体瘤的非增生区域一样,球体内部区域的肿瘤细胞通常表现出扰动的基因和蛋白质表达,新陈代谢改变,细胞周期停滞和坏死(Sant and Johnston ,2017)。但是,用于生成3D椭球体的大多数当前可用技术是耗时,困难和昂贵的。一种简单,快速,简便的生成3D球体的方法是使用悬滴法(Foty ...

Murine Pancreatic Islets Transplantation under the Kidney Capsule

[Abstract]  Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease caused by the lack of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells leading to systemic hyperglycemia. Pancreatic islet transplantation is a valid therapeutic approach to restore insulin loss and to promote adequate glycemic control. Pancreatic islet transplantation in mice is an optimal preclinical model to identify new therapeutic strategies aiming at preventing rejection and optimizing post-transplant immuno-suppressive/-tolerogenic therapies.

Islet transplantation in preclinical animal models can be performed in different sites such the kidney capsule, spleen, bone marrow and pancreas. This protocol describes murine islet transplantation under the kidney capsule. This is a widely accepted procedure for research purposes. Stress ...
[摘要]  1型糖尿病(T1D)是由于缺乏产生胰岛素的胰腺β细胞导致系统性高血糖症而引起的自身免疫性疾病。 胰岛移植是恢复胰岛素损失和促进充分血糖控制的有效治疗方法。 小鼠胰岛移植是一种最佳的临床前模型,用于鉴定旨在预防排斥和优化移植后免疫抑制/抗原治疗的新治疗策略。

临床前动物模型中的胰岛移植可以在不同部位进行,如肾囊,脾脏,骨髓和胰腺。 该协议描述了肾囊下的鼠胰岛移植。 这是一个被广泛接受的研究目的。 动物造成的压力很小,并导致可靠和可重复的结果。

【背景】迄今为止在小动物模型中报道了许多用于胰岛植入的备选位置,并且必须根据要使用的程序的技术优势和实验目的来选择理想的位点。 考虑到肾囊是一种血管外部位,并且它没有免疫保护,肾囊下的胰岛移植仍然是一种低死亡率的手术过程,导致几天内高血糖症逆转。 另外,肾囊下的移植允许组织学研究和胰岛功能的正式证明(Cantarelli和Piemonti,2011; Elisa Cantarelli等人,2013)。
