Abstract

The mammospheres are a multicellular tumor spheroid model. These are a widely used culture system to mimic the three-dimensionality of tumors. In this study, we develop this model using a murine mammary adenocarcinoma, which is used to study tumor physiology and therapeutic applications. We assay some variants of liquid overlay technique to know the best technique to generate this mammospheres. The best condition was used V-shaped 96-wells plates with an agarose monolayer because we were obtained compact and robust spheroids. Additionally, for evaluate spheroid´s structure by optical microscopy, we performed histologic staining of the mammospheres with hematoxylin-eosin. Moreover, we made immunohistochemistry staining to evaluate cell proliferation index and neovascularization, with bromodeoxyuridine and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), respectively. On the other hand, we studied the interaction between tumoral cells and mesenchymal stem cells derived to human umbilical cord.
