| Abstract |
A 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture is now being actively pursued to accomplish the in vivo-like cellular morphology and biological functions in cell culture. We recently obtained nano-fibrillated bacterial cellulose (NFBC). In this study, we developed a novel NFBC-based 3D cell-culture system, the OnGel method, and the Suspension method. HepG2 human liver cancer cells were cultured via these methods and formed spherical formulations in the optimized condition, 1.0% (w/v) of NFBC in the OnGel method, and 0.06-0.10% (w/v) of NFBC in the Suspension method. Non-cancerous cells such as human-induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) also formed spherical formulations. It is noteworthy that both the size and cell viability of spheroids prepared via these methods were comparable to those cultured using commercially available 3D cell-culture systems. Both OnGel and Suspension methods are less complicated than the existing 3D cell-culture systems, which is an invaluable advantage for the preparation of cancer spheroids. The NFBC-based 3D cell-culture systems introduced here show great promise as a tool to prepare cultures for cell-derived spheroids for the progress of both in vitro and in vivo studies of the biological functioning of cells.
