چکیده

backgrounds: evidence is accumulating to support disruption of tissue architecture as a powerful event in tumor formation. for the past four decades, intensive cancer research with the premise of “cancer as a cell based-disease” focused on finding oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. however, the role of the tissue architecture was neglected. three dimensional (3d) cell cultures which can recapitulate major aspects of the microenvironment are appropriate models for exploring cancer. for the first time in iran, we have launched matrigel based non-malignant, tumorigenic and reverted breast 3d cell cultures. methods: non-tumorigenic mcf-10a and tumorigenic mcf-7 breast cell lines were cultured on plastic and matrigel. mcf-7 cell lines were reverted to normal phenotype via aiib2 and ly 294002 inhibitors against β1 integrin and class i phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, respectively. results: mcf-10a acini were distinguishably different from mcf-7 on matrigel. mcf-10a formed organized hollow spherical structures which were in stark contrast to the mcf-7 disorganized cluster of cells. matrigel allowed visual monitoring of mcf-7 cells treated with inhibitors. after treatment of mcf-7 cells, we observed reversion of mcf-7 phenotype toward normal, comparable to mcf-10a acini. conclusion: the 3d culture provides a microenvironment which allows malignant and non-malignant cells to demonstrate near physiological behavior and this can distinguish non-malignant from malignant cells. the 3d culture also allows visual monitoring of malignant phenotype reversion to organized spheres.

Reversion of the Malignant Phenotype of Human Breast Cells in Three-Dimensional Culture and In Vivo by Integrin Blocking Antibodies

In a recently developed human breast cancer model, treatment of tumor cells in a 3-dimensional culture with inhibitory beta1-integrin antibody or its Fab fragments led to a striking morphological and functional reversion to a normal phenotype. A stimulatory beta1-integrin antibody proved to be ineffective. The newly formed reverted acini re-assembled a basement membrane and re-established E-cad...

Suppression of endogenous lipogenesis induces reversion of the malignant phenotype and normalized differentiation in breast cancer

The correction of specific signaling defects can reverse the oncogenic phenotype of tumor cells by acting in a dominant manner over the cancer genome. Unfortunately, there have been very few successful attempts at identifying the primary cues that could redirect malignant tissues to a normal phenotype. Here we show that suppression of the lipogenic enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) leads to sta...

Absence of Human Papillomavirus in Benign and Malignant Breast Tissue

Background & Objective: Malignant breast tumors, which are one of the most important deadly cancers in women, like many other cancers, are proposed to be related to viruses etiologically. Proper management of breast carcinoma necessitates an identification of the etiological factors. Human Papillomavirus is considered to have an etiological role in breast carcinoma. We...

Mechanism of ascorbic acid-induced reversion against malignant phenotype in human gastric cancer cells.

OBJECTIVE To find out the mechanisms of redifferentiation and reversion of malignant human gastric cancer cells induced by ascorbic acid. METHODS Human gastric cancer cells grown in the laboratory were used. The Trypan blue dye exclusion method was used to determine the cell doubling time. The electrophoresis rate and colonogenic potential were the indices used to measure the rate of rediffer...
