In this study we report about the reproducibility of three-dimensional cell culture of floating cell spheroids on PEG6000 treated cell culture dishes. Three-dimensional tumour spheroids or organoids present an interesting test platform for nanoparticulated drug delivery or nanoparticle toxicity. We tested the reproducibility of spheroid formation induced by the PEG coated surface. Interestingly we found that the results were different in a reproducible manner depending on the distributors of PEG6000.Despite the nearly identical physicochemical properties of PEG6000 (MALDI-MS, NMR, FTIR, Triple SEC) with only minor differences, we observed only for one PEG6000 a highly reproducible formation of spheroids with different cell lines such as HT-29, HeLa, Caco2, and PANC-1. The surface coating with the different PEG6000 was studied by AFM. The surface coating as well as the physicochemical characterization showed only small differences in mass and hydrodynamic radius between the different PEGs. A direct coating of the cells with PEG from two distributors indicate that the spheroid formation in due to direct interaction of the polymer with the cell rather than by interaction of cells with the coated surface.The experiments point out that for biological entities, such as cells or tissues, even very small differences such as impurities or batch-to-batch variations in the purchased product can have a very strong impact. |
