Three-dimensional Growth and Differentiation of Ovarian Tumor Cell Line in High Aspect Rotating-wall Vessel: Morphologic and Embryologic Considerations

Abstract

Cancer of the ovary is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancy. To understand better these aggressive tumors, the development of in vitro models to study human ovarian cancer is critical. However, the establishment of long-term cell lines has been difficult, due to the generalized poor survival of patient tumor cells grown in primary culture. Satisfactory culture systems for ovarian tumor cells have therefore been limited. To study cellular interactions involved in the growth and differentiation of these tumors, a cell line was established from a mixed müllerian tumor of the ovary. This cell line, designated LN1, was cultured on microcarrier beads in the high aspect rotating-wall vessel. The tumor cells grown in this vessel readily proliferated without a requirement for cocultivation with a supportive cell layer. Evaluation of cellular morphology by phase contrast light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of three-dimensional multicellular aggregates consisting of multiple cell-coated beads bridged together, as well as scattered aggregates of LN1 cells proliferating as spheroids free in suspension. In contrast to conventional culture systems, culture in the high aspect rotating-wall vessel facilitated the generation of multiple cell types that could be recovered. These results illustrate the ability of this culture system to provide the biological conditions necessary for pluripotent cell growth.

  • LN1 cells grown in a horizontally-oriented high aspect rotating vessel (HARV) with microcarrier beads as a scaffold showed growth selection for certain cell types from a mixed population in 3D compared to 2D.

    “LN1 cells, derived from a mixed Mullerian tumor, were grown in a horizontally-oriented high aspect rotating vessel (HARV) with microcarrier beads as a scaffold to investigate the potential for metastatic growth as spheroids or aggregates (Becker et al., 1993). This study also showed that there is growth selection for certain cell types from a mixed population in 3D compared to 2D.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
