Abstract

The data reviewed here demonstrate that there are many similarities in growth and cellular characteristics for different types of tumor cells grown as multicell spheroids. Furthermore, where comparisons have been made many of the features of spheroids also occur in tumors in vivo. However, as for tumors, there are also many characteristics of individual types of spheroids which are relatively specific and cannot be generalized as properties of all spheroid model systems. The results also demonstrate the marked influence which cellular microenvironments regulated by a supply of oxygen and nutrients may have on the development of cellular heterogeneity. Furthermore, using spheroids it was shown that dynamic cellular and metabolic interactions exist in regulating the development of cellular subpopulations and microenvironments. Spheroids are more sensitive to alterations in culture environment than are monolayer or single-cell suspension cultures. Consequently, researchers who use this model system must characterize, optimize, and standardize the growth conditions for the spheroid cell type being investigated. This information then provides a base from which to undertake detailed studies, which are not possible in experimental tum...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
