Background. Human cancer is a three-dimensional (3D) structure consisting of neighboring cells, extracellular matrix, and blood vessels. It is therefore critical to mimic the cancer cells and their surrounding environment duringin vitrostudy. Our aim was to establish a 3D cancer model using a synthetic composite scaffold.Methods. High-density low-volume seeding was used to promote attachment of a non-small-cell lung cancer cell line (NCI-H460) to scaffolds. Growth patterns in 3D culture were compared with those of monolayers. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to compare the expression of Ki67, CD44, and carbonic anhydrase IX.Results. NCI-H460 readily attached to the scaffold without surface pretreatment at a rate of 35% from a load of 1.5 × 106cells. Most cells grew vertically to form clumps along the surface of the scaffold, and cell morphology resembled tissue origin; 2D cultures exhibited characteristics of adherent epithelial cancer cell lines. Expression patterns of Ki67, CD44, and CA IX varied markedly between 3D and monolayer cultures.Conclusions. The behavior of cancer cells in our 3D model is similar to tumor growthin vivo. This model will provide the basis for future study using 3D cancer culture.

A composite scaffold was fabricated with a method involving both electrospinning and 3D printing to give microscale pores and good mechanical properties. Biocompatibility and cell infiltration on the scaffold was evaluated by an in vitro study.

Dentin tissue engineering is one of innovative and effective regenerative method for treatment of dental pulp and dental tissue, and our research concentrated on preparing an effective scaffold substrate containing carbon Nano tube in polycaprolactone Nano fiber matrix. Our characterization showed benefits of this complex structure and its effect on odontoblast cell interaction. The results indicated that the prepared nanofiber polymer contains 4% CNT have a great potential as biocompatible materials for use in dental tissue engineering and odontoblast cell interaction.

This work reports the purification and biochemical and functional characterization of ACP-TX-I and ACP-TX-II, two phospholipases A2 (PLA2) from Agkistrodon contortrix pictigaster venom. Both PLA2s were highly purified by a single chromatographic step on a C18 reverse phase HPLC column. Various peptide sequences from these two toxins showed similarity to those of other PLA2 toxins from viperid snake venoms. ACP-TX-I belongs to the catalytically inactive K49 PLA2 class, while ACP-TX-II is a D49 PLA2, and is enzymatically active. ACP-TX-I PLA2 is monomeric, which results in markedly diminished myotoxic and inflammatory activities when compared with dimeric K49 PLA2s, confirming the hypothesis that dimeric structure contributes heavily to the profound myotoxicity of the most active viperid K49 PLA2s. ACP-TX-II exhibits the main pharmacological actions reported for this protein family, including in vivo local myotoxicity, edema-forming activity, and in vitro cytotoxicity. ACP-TX-I PLA2 is cytotoxic to A549 lung carcinoma cells, indicating that cytotoxicity to these tumor cells does not require enzymatic activity.

Ceramic ferrites can be used to cancer-treatment. Heating of certain organs or tissue up to temperature between 42oC and 45oC preferentially for cancer therapy is called hyperthermia. We synthesized ferrites with various compositions in the system Co1-xNixFe2O4 as hyperthermic thermoseed in cancer-treatment and evaluated their effects on the necrosis of cancer cells under alternating magnetic field in vivo as well as in vitro. When a CoFe2O4 was placed into 0.2 ml distilled water, the greatest temperature change in this study, Δ T=29.3oC, was observed. More than half of the carcinoma cells were dead after exposure to alternating magnetic field using CoFe2O4, while normal cells were survived more than 60%. The injection of this ferrite particles into the tumor bearing mice was able to suppress the number and volume of tumors. CoFe2O4 is expected the useful hyperthermic thermoseed in cancer-treatment because it exhibited the greatest necrosis of carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo.
