Long-term Multicellular Spheroids Culture and Anti- Cancer Drug Activity Evaluation in a Microfluidic System
In this paper, a microfluidic system for long-term multicellular tumor spheroids culture and analysis is presented. Human carcinoma cells were cultured in an array of microwells for four weeks and a slowdown of the proliferation with maintained viability was observed. The construction of the device enabled observation of decreasing spheroid diameter as an indicator of cell death. Long-term obse...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anti-cancer activity of Boswellic acid and Montelukast sodium against human prostate cancer cell line PC-3
Prostate cancer is a devastating disease for which current therapies are inadequate. Various lines of evidences have suggested the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathway and the leukotriene receptor pathway are potential targets for prevention or treatment of Prostate cancer. Thus, search for new anti-cancer drugs targeting 5-LOX and leukotriene is very essential and important. The objective of the pre...
متن کاملIn vitro Apoptosis Induction in Prostate Cancer Cells (PC-3) using Bacillus licheniformis Supernatant
Background: Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in humans. Therefore, there is a need for new cytotoxic compounds from natural sources such as native bacteria. The current study aimed at investigating the cytotoxic effects of compounds obtained from gram-positive terricolous bacteria on the apoptosis of cells in prostate cancer (PC-3). Materials & Methods: A total of 70 s...
متن کاملA novel microfluidic co-culture system for investigation of bacterial cancer targeting.
Although bacterial cancer targeting in animal models has been previously demonstrated and suggested as a possible therapeutic tool, a thorough understanding of the mechanisms responsible for cancer specificity would be required prior to clinical applications. To visualize bacterial preference for cancer cells over normal cells and to elucidate the cancer-targeting mechanism, a simple microfluid...
متن کاملMicrofluidic co-culture system for cancer migratory analysis and anti-metastatic drugs screening
Tumour metastasis is an important reason for cancer death, and cancer cell migration is an important step in the process of tumour metastasis. Studying cancer cell migration is of great significance. Here, we present a novel microfluidic co-culture system and establish mild, moderate and severe cancer models by using HMEpiC and MDA-MB-231 cells to study cancer cell migration and anti-cancer dru...
