Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture techniques using a bioreactor have been used to co-culture various breast cancer cell lines. Comparisons between 3D co-cultures containing different proportions of breast cancer cell lines have been made with respect to cluster size, cell surface marker distribution, and Ki67 expression. Furthermore, an observed difference in invasion through collagen between co-cultures has been briefly reported. However, these assays have not yet been developed into a quantifiable methodology to assess the effects of drugs and/or microenvironments on cellular invasion. From a cancer perspective, two important aspects of cellular invasion that are often left out of in vitro assays are considerations about the 3D structural heterogeneity of the primary tumor and the ability of cells to migrate in all directions. Accordingly, we have taken advantage of the methodology previously described for 3D cell culture techniques and have developed a 3D invasion assay using cell clusters that can be used to assess the effects of different drugs and treatment conditions on cancer cell invasion. We also describe a novel whole-mount technique that permits fluorescence-based immunolocalization of proteins through the entire tumorsphere, without the need for sectioning. Our assay provides a simple, inexpensive, and physiologically relevant context to study cellular invasion in vitro, in a way that recapitulates an in vivo milieu.
