  • substrate functionalization substrate materials (plastics, glass, hydrogels) can affect cell morphology (cell shape)> can determine molecular state
  • 3D culture models standard 3D culture suppors: vessels contain a thin membrane of polymer with a well defined and uniform architecture;                                           environmentally sensitive hydrogel senses changes of pH, temp, concentration of metabolites and release their load as result of such changes; 
  • matrix stiffness can be controlled by differential crosslinking of hydrogel networks or collagen concentrations  tumor cells respond to matrix stiffness (more stiff, enhanced growth & disruption of polarity)
  • 3D without scaffold spheroid microarray, hanging drop culture z.b. HT29 colon carcinoma 3D nature illustration
  • 3D cancer models multicellular tumor spheroids tumorspheres tissue-derived tumor spheres organotypic multicellular spheroids
  • 3D vs 2D shape: 3D ellipsoids with dimensions of 10-30um, 2D thickness 3um environment: 3D nealy 100% of their surface area exposed to other cells or matrix, 2D very small percentage behavior: 3D show differences in morphology, differentiation, drug metabolism, proliferation, response to stimuli.. 3D: more similar to cells in living organism
  • population cell analysis vs single population averages can obscure heterogeneous cellular response
  • experimental strategy of single-cell tech conclusions may be restricted by experimental strategy techs: FACS; single cell RNA-seq; proximity ligation assay (PLA); digital droplet PCR (ddPCR); single cell western (fluor imaging); life cell RNA/protein imaging (dynamics over time); single-cell nanobiopsy (illustration using SOM: each hexagon represents a group of genes whose expression patterns across samples are most similar)
  • single-cell nanobiopsy illustration using SOM: each hexagon represents a group of genes whose expression patterns across samples are most similar 2D: spatial proximity corresponds to expression pattern similarity
  • perturbation experiment to investigate gene function or resulting phenotype by gene overexpression, deletion and mutation transfection: (non-viral delivery): transposon; episomal non-replicative vectors; modified RNAs; proteins

  • PPI network graphs depiction of signaling pathways: protein interactions are represented as edges between the proteins of the pathway
  • network graphs theory terms nodes: connected to each other via edges hubs: nodes with a high proportion of the total edges; removal of hubs and their edges results in a fractured network clustering coefficient: result of nodes and edges forming closed triplets path length between nodes: sum of numbers of edges; shortest as distance random network: probability to place an edge between two nodes > small world network: most nodes are not neighbours, shorter path length, high clustering coeffi >scale-invariance: networks of any size yield similar proportions of edges and nodes
  • PPI methods yeast two-hybrid: problems: detection of transient interactions co-immunoprecipitation: only high affinity interactions are detected, most transient interactions are lost; Co-IP-MS(AP-MS) affinity tagging and pull down assays: loss of weakly bound proteins; TAP-MS Co-IP(AP)-MS: cell culture, affinity purification, LC-MS/MS;           variation: adding of in vivo cross-linking can provide info about protein-protein interaction and multiprotein complex structure TAP: bait expression, tandem affinity purification: two seperate tags ensure high signal-to-noise ratio
