Infiltration of lymphocyte subpopulations into cancer microtissues as a tool for the exploration of immunomodulatory agents and biomarkers.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:The interaction between the immune system and malignant diseases is a proven key target for cancer therapy. We describe an innovative 3D cell culture system comprising both immune and cancer cells to evaluate their interaction and immune cell infiltration to provide an innovative in vitro screening of immunomodulatory agents and biomarkers. METHODS:3D tumor microtissues were cultivated using a hanging drops system. Human non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines were incubated for 7 days to form microtissues. On day 5, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were added with or without interleukin-2 (IL-2) for 24 or 48h. Viability of cancer cells and the infiltrating PBMC subpopulations were investigated by flow cytometry. Aggregation of tumor cells and PBMC and the infiltration of the PBMC into the tumor microtissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Quantification of infiltration was measured by applying the TissueFAXS system. RESULTS:Immunohistochemistry revealed PBMC infiltration in all cell lines which increased under IL-2 stimulation. Analysis of infiltrating populations showed both lymphocyte subpopulations and monocytes within the tumor microtissues. In all three co-cultures, CD3+CD8+ and CD3+CD8+CD45R0+CD28+ lymphocytes were increased with IL-2, whereas CD3+CD8+CD45R0-CD28+ PBMCs were decreased with and without IL-2 stimulation. CONCLUSION:In summary, we present a novel cell culture system to study the interaction between cancer cells and immune cells in 3-dimensional microtissues. In addition, we report for the first time an in vitro infiltration assay based on 3D microtissues. This model has the potential to provide a tool for ex-vivo drug testing and biomarker screening of immunomodulatory agents.
