Collagen gel matrix assay as an in vitro chemosensitivity test for malignant astrocytic tumors

Abstract: The collagen gel matrix assay is clinically useful to determine in vitro chemosensitivity that reflects in vivo chemosensitivity. Individual chemotherapy for malignant astrocytic tumors, based on chemosensitivity data, could contribute to longer survival, particularly in anaplastic astrocytoma-bearing patients.

“…To better compare with clinical outcomes, anti-glioma inhibition rates were investigated according to drug PPCs of human blood in 2D and 3D culture. PPCs of the three tested drugs were TMZ: 258.0 μM, CCNU: 14.0 μM and DDP: 12.8 μM [ 48 50 ]. After 24 h, drug-containing medium was replaced with fresh medium and cells were incubated for 48 h. After treatment, chemosensitivity was determined using the CCK8 assay.…”

“…Previous studies focused on maintaining human GBM tissue, date back to the 1970s, and using static culture techniques in culture dishes that required the culture media to be replenished every 1–4 days [[40], [41], [42], [43]]. More recently, a number of groups have maintained human GBM tissues on collagen gel matrices [44] and on membrane culture inserts (Millipore) [45,46] but none of these experimental models have applied continuous tissue flow. Compared with previous static culture experiments, the length of tissue culture in the present study is considerably shorter, with only 2 tissue sections cultured for more than 3 days, one for 5 days and another for a week.…”

“…Ono et al. cultured 22 GBM tissues on collagen gel matrix assays for 7 days and treated the tissues with a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, and although the group were able to assess the inhibitory effects of the drugs, they did not report on the viability of the untreated tissues [44].
