Optimization of culture medium for the isolation and propagation of human breast cancer cells from primary tumour biopsies
Breast
cancer cells from patients hold an important role in antigen production for
immunotherapy, drug testing, and cancer stem cell studies.
To
date, although many studies have been conducted to develop protocols for the
isolation and culture of breast cancer cells from tumour biopsies, the
efficiencies of these protocols remain low.
This
study aimed to identify a suitable medium for the isolation and propagation of
primary breast cancer cells from breast tumour biopsies.
Breast
tumour biopsies were obtained from hospitals after all patients had given their
written informed consent and were cultured according to the expanding tumour
method in 3 different media: DMEM/F12 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium:
Nutrient Mixture F-12) supplemented with 10% FBS (Fetal bovine serum) and 1%
antibiotic-antimycotic (Medium D); Medium 171 supplemented with 1X MEGS
(Mammary Epithelial Growth Supplement) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (Medium
M); or a 1:1 mixture of Medium D and Medium M (Medium DB).
The
cell culture efficiency was evaluated by several criteria, including the time
of cell appearance, cell morphology, capability of proliferation, cell surface
marker expression, ALDH (Aldehyde dehydrogenases) activity, karyotype, and
tumour formation capacity in immune-deficient mice.
Notably,
primary cancer cells cultured in Medium DB showed a high expression of breast
cancer stem cell surface markers (including CD44(+)CD24(-) and CD49f(+)), low
expression of stromal cell surface markers (CD90), high ALDH activity, an
abnormal karyotype, and high tumour formation capacity in immune-deficient
mice.
These
findings suggested that Medium DB was suitable to support the survival and
proliferation of primary breast cancer cells as well as to enrich breast cancer
stem cells.
