    Abstract It was proven that tumor organoids effectively mirror the phenotypic and genetic traits of the original biomaterial. It was reported that outcomes from drug testing in organoid cultures can accurately represent the clinical response observed in patients. In this study, an organoid culture was derived from biopsy material of prostate cancer (PC). Subsequently, clinical practice drugs, docetaxel and enzalutamide, were tested on this organoid culture. Various techniques for evaluating the efficacy of drugs in vitro were compared. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of docetaxel was found to be markedly lower compared to that of enzalutamide. However, when tested at clinically relevant concentrations and incubation times, enzalutamide was more effective than docetaxel. Therefore, it is crucial to optimize the testing conditions for drugs on in vitro cultures for their subsequent application in clinical practice.

    Abstract The effect of pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the biofilms of gram-negative bacteria, typical members of the activated sludge community, and gram-positive rhodococci involved in xenobiotic biodegradation, was investigated. Nanomaterials of this type not only did not inhibit biofilm formation completely, but were shown to have a probiofilm effect on the studied bacteria. In the presence of MWCNT in dynamic equilibrium with suspension cultures, less massive biofilms of Burkholderia dolosa BOS, Rhodococcus erythropolis 4-1, and R. ruber gt1, but reliably more massive biofilms of Acinetobacter guillouiae 11h, Alcaligenes faecalis 2, and R. erythropolis 11-2 were formed. However, after preliminary cell adhesion and in the absence of suspension culture, all studied strains formed reliably more massive biofilms. More pronounced degradation in the presence of MWCNT was observed for the biofilms of motile gram-negative bacteria. The effect of carbon nanomaterials on the metabolic activity and viability of the studied strains was assessed by reduction of a tetrazolium salt and of the redox indicator resazurin, total ATP content, and cell membrane disturbance. The respiratory activity reliably increased in the biofilms of R. erythropolis 11-2 and R. ruber gt1 grown in the presence of MWCNT, as well as in mature biofilms of R. erythropolis IL BIO and R. erythropolis 11-2 grown in LB medium and then treated with MWCNT. MWCNT were shown to have no negative effect on reduction of metabolized stain XTT by the cells. Comprehensive investigation of biofilm formation and metabolic activity of bacterial cells confirmed the absence of cytotoxic effect of pristine MWCNT on the cells of gram-negative activated sludge bacteria and gram-positive rhodococci in biofilms.

    Abstract Interactions of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cellular receptors constitute one of the crucial pathways involved in colorectal cancer progression and metastasis. With the use of bioinformatics analysis, we comprehensively evaluated the prognostic information concentrated in the genes from this pathway. First, we constructed a ECM-receptor regulatory network by integrating the transcription factor (TF) and 5'-isomiR interaction databases with mRNA/miRNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Colon Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-COAD). Notably, one-third of interactions mediated by 5'-isomiRs was represented by noncanonical isomiRs (isomiRs, whose 5'-end sequence did not match with the canonical miRBase version). Then, exhaustive search-based feature selection was used to fit prognostic signatures composed of nodes from the network for overall survival prediction. Two reliable prognostic signatures were identified and validated on the independent The Cancer Genome Atlas Rectum Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-READ) cohort. The first signature was made up by six genes, directly involved in ECM-receptor interaction: AGRN, DAG1, FN1, ITGA5, THBS3, and TNC (concordance index 0.61, logrank test

    Abstract Caco-2 cells are traditionally used to construct in vitro models of the intestinal barrier. One characteristic of the mature intestine is the presence of villi—connective tissue outgrowths covered with epithelial cells. It was recently shown that Caco-2 cells form structures resembling intestinal villi during prolonged cultivation. In this work, we showed via transcriptome analysis that the BMP and PDGF signaling cascades involved in the formation of villi in vivo are significantly altered during the differentiation of Caco-2 cells and, therefore, can participate in the formation of similar structures in vitro. In particular, we found a significant decrease in the expression of the BMP4, BMP7, and BMP8A genes in differentiated cells as compared to undifferentiated cells. We also first discovered periodic fluctuations in transepithelial resistance upon the differentiation of Caco-2 cells. The period of observed fluctuations indicates that they can occur as a result of cell proliferation during villus formation.

    Abstract In contrast to traditional 2D cell cultures, both 3D models and organ-on-a-chip devices allow the study of the physiological responses of human cells. These models reconstruct human tissues in conditions closely resembling the body. Translation of these techniques into practice is hindered by associated labor costs, a need which may be remedied by automation. Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is a promising, automation-compatible label-free technology allowing to carry out a wide range of measurements both in real-time and as endpoints. IS has been applied to both the barrier cultures and the 3D constructs. Here we provide an overview of the impedance-based analysis in different setups and discuss its utility for organ-on-a-chip devices. Most attractive features of impedance-based assays are their compatibility with high-throughput format and supports for the measurements in real time with high temporal resolution, which allow tracing of the kinetics. As of now, IS-based techniques are not free of limitations, including imperfect understanding of the parameters that have their effects on the impedance, especially in 3D cell models, and relatively high cost of the consumables. Moreover, as the theory of IS stems from electromagnetic theory and is quite complex, work on popularization and explanation of the method for experimental biologists is required. It is expected that overcoming these limitations will lead to eventual establishing IS based systems as a standard for automated management of cell-based experiments in both academic and industry environments.

    Abstract The cytotoxic effect of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and regorafenib (RF), drugs with different mechanisms of action used to treat colorectal cancer, on an HT29 cell line cultured on plastic or laminin 521 (LM-521) has been studied. It is first shown that LM-521 can increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to 5FU. A possible mechanism of the observed effect of LM-521 on the HT29 cell viability is proposed based on transcriptome and proteome analysis. The interaction of β1-containing integrins on the cell surface with LM-521 can activate the FAK/PI3K/Akt signaling pathways and promote phosphorylation of the YAP transcription coactivator and its binding to the complex with the 14-3-3σ protein. The formation of this complex leads to YAP retention in the cytoplasm and prevents its transport to the nucleus and the activation of antiapoptotic gene transcription.

    Abstract Most common drug development failures originate from either bioavailability problems, or unexpected toxic effects. The culprit is often the liver, which is responsible for biotransformation of a majority of xenobiotics. Liver may be modeled using "liver on a chip" devices, which may include established cell lines, primary human cells, and stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells. The choice of biological material along with its processing and maintenance greatly influence both the device performance and the resultant toxicity predictions. Impediments to the development of "liver on a chip" technology include the problems with standardization of cells, limitations imposed by culturing and the necessity to develop more complicated fluidic contours. Fortunately, recent breakthroughs in the development of cell-based reporters, including ones with fluorescent label, permits monitoring of the behavior of the cells embed into the "liver on a chip" devices. Finally, a set of computational approaches has been developed to model both particular toxic response and the homeostasis of human liver as a whole; these approaches pave a way to enhance the in silico stage of assessment for a potential toxicity.

    Abstract The mistletoe lectin viscumin (MLI) is a ribosome-inactivating protein from Viscum album widely used in cancer therapy. Its antitumor properties are due to its immunomodulating action, previously demonstrated in experiments involving intravenous, subcutaneous, and oral administration of viscumin. To investigate whether viscumin has a cytotoxic effect on the intestinal epithelium, its safety was assessed using (i) impedance spectroscopy to measure the integrity of the colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cell monolayer after exposure to viscumin and (ii) a novel technique of determining the portion of viscumin-inactivated ribosomes. It was shown that inactivation of at least 20% of the ribosomes within 6 h did not lead to disruption of the Caco-2 cell monolayer or alter the physicochemical parameters of enterocyte membranes.

    Abstract The effect of indole-3-carbinol on the proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-231 breast-cancer cells and healthy MCF-10A breast-tissue cells has been studied. It was shown that indole-3-carbinol reliably reduced the proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-231 cells and does not significantly affect MCF-10A cells. The incubation of MDA-MB-231 tumor cells with 100 μM indole-3-carbinol for 48 h resulted in a marked decrease in the expression of the Wnt cascade genes CCND1 (by 28%), Sp1 (by 44%), CDK6 (by 47%), as well as the EGFR and FASN genes (by 64 and 22%, respectively). Incubation of the MCF-10A cell line under the same conditions induced a noticeable decrease in the expression of only two genes, EGFR (by 16%) and CDK6 (by 9%). Indole-3-carbinol was also shown to display selective DNA demethylating activity in breast-tumor cells and to reverse the process of abnormal methylation and functional blockage of the antitumor WIF-1 gene. The obtained data indicate that drugs containing indole-3-carbinol as an active component can be potential regulators of epigenetic processes in the complex treatment of breast cancer and other tumors.
