python画屈服准则屈服准则通常用来描述材料在受力作用下发生塑性变形的现象。
在 Python 中,可以使用一些常见的科学计算库来绘制屈服准则的图表,比如 NumPy 和 Matplotlib。
首先,我们需要定义屈服准则的方程。
常见的屈服准则包括von Mises 屈服准则和 Tresca 屈服准则。
这两种屈服准则都可以用来描述材料在受力作用下的塑性变形。
然后,我们可以使用NumPy 来生成一系列应力和应变的数据点,然后利用 Matplotlib来绘制应力-应变曲线。
下面是一个简单的示例代码,用来绘制 von Mises 屈服准则的应力-应变曲线:python.import numpy as np.import matplotlib.pyplot as plt.# 定义 von Mises 屈服准则的方程。
def von_mises(sigma1, sigma2, sigma3):return np.sqrt(sigma12 + sigma22 + sigma32sigma1sigma2 sigma2sigma3 sigma3sigma1)。
# 生成一系列应力数据。
stress = np.linspace(0, 100, 100) # 生成 0 到 100 之间的 100 个数据点。
# 计算对应的 von Mises 应变。
strain = von_mises(stress, stress0.5, stress0.3)。
# 绘制应力-应变曲线。
plt.plot(strain, stress)。
plt.xlabel('Strain')。
plt.ylabel('Stress')。
plt.title('Stress-Strain Curve for von Mises Yield Criterion')。
plt.show()。
在这个示例中,我们首先定义了 von Mises 屈服准则的方程von_mises,然后生成了一系列应力数据点,并利用 von_mises 函数计算了对应的应变数据点。

Ras GTPases and in particular members of the Rho subfamily of GTPases play critical roles in cell migration and invasion. Here, we provide a collection of protocols to assay these functions. We describe two cell migration assays. The monolayer wound healing assay is very easy to implement, whereas the microliter-scale migration assay allows examination of cell behavior on de W ned extracellular matrices. We also describe two methods that allow the quanti W cation of tumor cell invasion, a versatile transwell Matrigel invasion assay and an organotypic assay that examines the inva-sion of glioma cells through a rat brain slice. 2005 Elsevier Inc.

IntroductionCell migration is a process that is critical at many stages of embryonic development, and is essential for tis-sue repair and immune function [1]. Importantly, dereg-ulated motile behavior contributes to pathological processes including tumor angiogenesis and metastasis,atherosclerosis, and arthritis [2–4].Members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases, most notably the Rho proteins, play a prominent role in cell migration [5]. Thus, the Rac, Cdc42, and Rho GTPases are essential for growth factor- and cytokine-stimulated chemotaxis in W broblasts, macrophages and neutrophils [6–9]. In addition, Rac, Cdc42, and Rho are necessary for the invasive behavior of carcinoma cells and W bro-blasts [7,10–12]. The signaling pathways that are acti-vated by Rho proteins to regulate cell migration and invasion are under intense scrutiny [1,5,13].We will focus this review on glioma cells. The migra-tory and invasive properties of these tumor cells are important prerequisites for the in W ltrative and destructive growth patterns of malignant gliomas. In W ltrative growth prevents complete tumor resection and therefore, causes signi W cant neurological morbidity and mortality [14].To date, examination of the roles of Rho proteins in cell migration and invasion has heavily relied on the inhibitory e V ects of dominant negative mutants of these GTPases and on the stimulation of signaling pathways by constitutively active versions. Introduction of these mutants into cells has been achieved by microinjection of plasmids or recombinant proteins [8,15,16], transient transfection or the establishment of stable cell lines [7].Dominant negative GTPases act by competing with their endogenous counterparts for access to guanine*Corresponding author. Fax: +1 516 365 5090.E-mail address: msymons@ (M. Symons).1Both the authors contributed equally to this work.A. Valster et al. / Methods 37 (2005) 208–215209nucleotide exchange factors (GEF s) [17]. However, GEF s often catalyze nucleotide exchange on a number of di V erent Rho family members [18], thereby limiting the speci W city of dominant negative mutants. This is illustrated by the observation that expression of domi-nant negative mutant Rac1 interferes with the activation of RhoA by the Dbl GEF[19]. F or this reason, we recently have employed RNA interference (RNAi) [20,21] to speci W cally inhibit the expression of Rho GTP-ases. A protocol for transient transfection of short inter-fering RNA (siRNA) is described in Section 2.1.2. Monolayer wound healing assayMonolayer wound healing assays have been used very e V ectively for studying the roles of Rho GTPases in cell migration [16]. Recently, monolayer wounding has also been used to examine signaling events that are involved in the establishment of cell polarity during directed loco-motion [22,23].Most of our recent experiments have been carried out using the SNB19 and U87MG grade IV glioblastoma cell lines. The SNB19 cell line can be obtained from the Developmental Therapeutics Program (NCI/NIH) and the U87MG line from ATTC. Both cell lines are very migratory and invasive.2.1. siRNA-mediated protein knock down in glioblastoma cells2.1.1. Selection of siRNA oligonucleotide sequenceCareful consideration concerning the selection of oli-gonucleotide sequence should be given to achieve e Y cient protein knock down and to avoid nonspeci W c e V ects. In the past, we have designed our own oligos fol-lowing speci W cations as established by the Tuschl labo-ratory. Guidelines are detailed on the Tuschl website: /labheads/tuschl/sirna.html. This website is updated on a regular basis. Recently, we have started to use the services of Dharmacon (http:// ) to select our siRNA oligonucleo-tide sequences. F or known genes siGenome oligo sequences directed against the gene’s open reading frame are successfully used in our laboratory and oligos against speci W c regions such as 3ЈUTR regions can be designed using the siDesign center that uses Smart Selec-tion design algorithms developed by Dharmacon [24]. The advantage of region-speci W c oligonucleotides such as 3ЈUTR-speci W c oligos is the ability to perform recon-stitution studies, by speci W cally knocking down endoge-nous proteins, without a V ecting expressed recombinant versions of these proteins [25].O V-target interactions of siRNA have been described [26–28]. This problem can be circumvented by utilizing two independent targeting sequences, as the probability of generating similar o V-target e V ects by di V erent oligos is extremely low. We routinely have been using an oligo-nucleotide directed against GL2 luciferase as a negative control [29]. As a positive control, we have been using an oligonucleotide directed against dynamin 2 (see Section 2.4—1.). Kits with additional control oligos are also available from Dharmacon. An in X uential editorial regarding the use of controls for RNA interference experiments has been published in Nat. Cell Biol. [30].2.1.2. Transient siRNA oligonucleotide transfectionA lipid-based method is used to introduce siRNA oli-gonucleotides into SNB19 glioblastoma cells. We prefer to use Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) as the lipid car-rier over other reagents we have tested because of the high e Y ciency knock down of proteins at low oligonu-cleotide concentrations (20nM W nal concentration) we routinely observe using this method. As some variability exists between transfections, we plate and transfect mul-tiple wells per treatment.In preparation for Lipofectamine 2000-mediated trans-fections, SNB 19 cells are plated in a 24-well plate at a con X uency of 50–70% (»3–4£104 cells per well) in 500 l plating medium (DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS but without antibiotics). The con X uency of the cells is important because at lower cell counts toxicity of the transfection reagent becomes limiting and at higher cell counts lower transfection e Y ciency hampers e Y cient protein knock down. The optimum con X uency for trans-fection is cell-type dependent and should be determined for each cell line independently to optimize transfection e Y ciency. SNB19 cells are allowed to attach to the tissue culture dish for about 2h as it is important to transfect the cells while they are in the early stages of cell spreading.0.6 l siRNA oligonucleotide duplex (at 20 M) is added to 47–49 l DMEM medium (to make a total vol-ume of 50 l) without serum and in a separate tube 1 l Lipofectamine 2000 is added to 49 l DMEM. After a 5min incubation at room temperature, the diluted siRNA oligonucleotide and lipid are combined, gently mixed, and further incubated for 20min to allow the for-mation of the transfection complexes. The complexes are subsequently added to the cells and mixed with the plat-ing medium by gently swirling the tissue culture dish.After about 24h, the medium containing the transfec-tion complexes should be aspirated and replaced by reg-ular plating medium (DMEM with 10% F BS). By this time, the cells typically display an array of ‘vacuole-like’structures that do not seem to have any negative e V ect in subsequent culture and analysis of the cells. F or most proteins studied in our lab, in SNB19 cells, protein knock down reaches an optimum at around day 3 after transfection and typically lasts for another 2 or 3 days. Hence, cells are routinely assayed 3 days post transfec-tion. However, the timeline for optimum protein knock down is dependent on the protein and cell line of interest210 A. Valster et al. / Methods 37 (2005) 208–215and should be determined for each protein and cell line separately.2.2. Transient plasmid transfections in glioblastoma cellsWe also have established a protocol that allows e Y cient transient expression of proteins in SNB19 cells using the E V ectene transfection reagent (Qiagen). Using this method, transfection e Y ciencies of >80% are routinely obtained. It is important for e Y cient transfection to use freshly plated cells (less than 24h after plating the cells).The details of the transfection protocol for SNB19 cells are as follows. Cells are plated at »70% con X uency (»4£104 cells/well in 24-well plate) in 500 l plating medium (DMEM with 10% FBS) without antibiotics. A mixture of the following is made using the E V ectene transfection kit components provided by Qiagen: 120 l bu V er EC; 0.4 g plasmid DNA, and 6.4 l Enhancer. This mixture is incubated for 3min at room temperature, after which 8 l E V ectene is added. After an additional 7min incubation during which transfection complexes are formed, 700 l DMEM with 10% FBS is added and this mixture is applied to the cells. We typically assay cells 24h after transfection.2.3. Monolayer wound healing assaySNB19 cells are treated according to experimental design. F or siRNA transfections two wells in a 24-well plate are transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 transfec-tion reagent as described above. The next day, the cells are combined in one well of a six-well culture dish. Before plating into this dish, two parallel lines are drawn at the underside of the well with a Sharpie marker. These lines will serve as W ducial marks for the wound areas to be analyzed. At the day of analysis, the monolayer should be absolutely con X uent. In preparation for mak-ing the wound, the growth medium is aspirated and replaced by calcium-free PBS to prevent killing of cells at the edge of the wound by exposure to high calcium concentrations. Two (or more) parallel scratch wounds of approximately 400 m width are made perpendicular to the marker lines with a blue P1000 pipet tip (Fisher). This procedure makes it possible to image the entire width of the wound using a 10£ objective.The wounds are observed using phase contrast microscopy on an inverted microscope. Images are taken at regular intervals over the course of 12–24h of both areas X anking the intersections of the wound and the marker lines (D8 images per treatment).The width of the wound should be as consistent as possible, since narrow wounds tend to close faster than wider wounds. If more than two scratches are made, wounds with similar widths can be chosen for analysis. Images are analyzed by digitally drawing lines (using Adobe Photoshop) averaging the position of the migrat-ing cells at the wound edges. The cell migration distance is determined by measuring the width of the wound divided by two and by subtracting this value from the initial half-width of the wound (Fig.1).2.4. Notes1.A positive control that is useful for the implementa-tion of siRNA methodologies is siRNA directed against dynamin 2 [31]. This protein is ubiquitously expressed at high levels and is readily detected by immuno X uorescence. In contrast to lamin A/C, which also has been used as positive control [29], dynamin 2 tends to be expressed in a very uniform fashion throughout the cell population, making it easier to evaluate the transfection e Y ciency.2.Transient transfection of adherent cells that arerefractory to the described protocols can be improved point and condition.Rac1 si RNAcontrolA. Valster et al. / Methods 37 (2005) 208–215211by either transiently trypsinizing the cells [32] or by detaching the cells and transfecting in suspension [33].3.F or the determination of chemotaxis (migrationdirected upward a concentration gradient of chemo-attractant), a number of assays have been described.These include the use of the Boyden-chamber [7,34] and the Dunn-chamber assays [8].3. Microliter-scale migration assayThe microliter-scale migration assay that we discuss allows examination of the migratory responses of cells to speci W c extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The assay is conducted in a small volume of medium, which is favorable for testing expensive or rare reagents for their e V ect on cell migration, such as pharmacological agents, antisense oligonucleotides, siRNA, and antibod-ies. This protocol allows for assaying adherent or nonad-herent cells that have been activated to adhere. In addition, subsequent immunostaining of the migrating cells can be performed to examine reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, localization of proteins involved in cytoskeletal organization, matrix remodeling, adhesion complexes, and signaling events. F inally, multiple phe-notypic endpoints can be measured to study the e V ect of molecular and biochemical determinants on cell motility, proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression, and signal transduction [35–37].3.1. Assembly of the migration assayTen-well Te X on-printed microscope slides that have been designed for this assay can be obtained commer-cially (CSM, Phoenix, AZ). F irst, place the 10-well slide(s) into a petri dish and add two drops of water under each end of the slide. The drops will disperse by capillary action and keep the slide in place. Coat the 10-well slides with the ECM component of interest by add-ing 20 l to each well, followed by 1h incubation at 37°C. After coating, rinse the wells three times with PBS and block the nonspeci W c binding sites with 0.1% BSA in PBS for 30min at 37°C. Rinse the slides twice with PBS, add 50 l PBS to each well and store at 4°C in PBS until ready to use.Next, aspirate the PBS from the wells and replace by 50 l medium. Carefully place the pre-chilled (4°C) Cell Sedimentation Manifold (CSM; CSM, Phoenix, AZ) onto the slide. The CSM is designed to W t over the 10-well Te X on-slides and allow cells to settle and attach within a 1mm circumference in the center of each well. Carefully remove any air bubbles that reside in the channels. This is important to ensure that cells will properly fall through the channel onto the slide. Finally, harvest cells by trypsin-ization, adjust cell concentration to approximately 2000 cells/ l (2£106 cells/ml), and keep the cell suspension on ice. Carefully place 1 l of the cell suspension into each well. If the cells are injected too quickly, the cells will tend to disperse out of the bottom of the well. Injection of air bubbles can be avoided by over W lling the pipet with cells (1.3 l) and expulsing only to the W rst stop on the pipet. Place a 35-mm petri dish W lled with sterile water in the chamber with the slide to ensure 100% humidity. To allow cell attachment, incubate the slides with the CSM over-night at 37°C, 5% CO2 atmosphere and constant humid-ity. Cell attachment can be veri W ed with the manifold still mounted. Subsequently, gently remove the manifold and refeed each well.3.2. Quantitation of cell migrationCell migration is measured using an inverted micro-scope. A glass microscope slide is suspended over the 10-well Te X on slide (1mm above cell surface) using a manu-factured silicone suspension pad (CSM). This prevents drying of the wells and facilitates imaging by eliminating the aberration e V ects caused by the meniscus of the medium. The glass microscope slide can subsequently be removed without disrupting the cell monolayer for drug treatment or medium exchange.The area occupied by the cells is visualized by inverted microscopy using a 2.5£ objective (Fig.2). Images are captured most e Y ciently using digital imag-ing. A digital video of cell migration is hosted on the TGen W le server at /supplemen-tal_glioma/glioma_migration.mpg. The radius of the migrating cell population can be measured at the appro-priate intervals using a macro that can be downloaded from the CSM, website at . The average migration rate of W ve to ten replicates is cal-culated as the increasing radius of the entire cell popula-tion over time.3.3.

The slides can be stored at room temperature.2.At the end of the appropriate migration period, the cells can be W xed and processed for microscopic eval-uation by a number of techniques, including immuno-cytochemistry and in situ hybridization [36,37].4. Transwell invasion assaySNB19 cells are experimentally treated as described in Section 2.1. Two days after transfection, Matrigel Inva-sion Chambers (Becton Dickinson) are hydrated for at least 2h in the tissue culture incubator with 500 l serum free DMEM in the bottom of the well and 500 l in the top of the chamber. After hydration of the Matrigel, the DMEM in the bottom of the well is replaced with DMEM containing 10% F BS. 4£104 SNB19 cells are plated in 500 l DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS in the top of the chamber.The invasion assay is carried out for 24h in the tissue culture incubator. The cells are W xed by replacing the culture medium in the bottom and top of the chamber with 4% formaldehyde dissolved in PBS. After W xing for 15min at room temperature, the chambers are rinsed in PBS and stained with 0.2% crystal violet for 10min.After washing the chambers 5 times by dipping thechambers in a large beaker W lled with dH 2O the cells (now blue in color) at the top of the Matrigel membrane are removed with several Q-tips. It is safe to assume that all cells are removed when no more blue dye can be removed with the Q-tips. Now all cells that remain are the ones that have invaded and made it to the bottom side of the membrane (Fig.3). These cells are counted using an inverted microscope equipped with either a 4£or a 10£ objective and plotted as the percentage of invading cells of the total number of plated cells.Note. The invasive behavior of most cell lines is enhanced by passaging the cells the day before starting the invasion assay.5. Brain slice invasion assayCellular behavior and signaling in general is strikingly di V erent when evaluated on a two-dimensional substrate in contrast to a three-dimensional environment [38,39].Although studies of both melanoma and glioma cells have shown that there is a strong correlation between increased migration on two-dimensional substrates in vitro and increased invasiveness in vivo [40,41],in vitro migration assays performed on de W ned matrix components do not adequately incorporate the complex interplay between tumor cells and stroma required for cell invasion in situ [42]. Thus, the establishment of ex vivo rat brain slice models presents a unique system for the evaluation of the invasive properties of glioma cells in more physiologically relevant conditions [37,43,44].5.1. Establishment of GFP-expressing cell linesF or the establishment of GF P-expressing cell lines,we utilize the Retro-X system (Becton Dickinson).Brie X y, PLAT-E packaging cells are transfected with the retroviral expression vector using E V ectene, using the protocol provided by the manufacturer (Qiagen). The culture supernatant of the PLAT-E cells is removed 48h after transfection, W ltered through a 0.45 M cellulose-acetate W lter, and added to subcon X uent cultures of cells.For the rapid selection of cells that stably and uniformly express GFP, we use a two-tiered selection process. First,two days after transfection, cells are sorted by F ACS and subsequently selected in DMEM containing G418(200 g/ml).5.2. Brain slice invasion assay5.2.1. Preparation of rat brain slicesThe brain slice model system of rat whole cerebrum is modi W ed from the organotypic culture methods previ-ously reported [37,43,44]. Brain tissue is prepared from 4-week-old male Wister rats (Crl: (WI)BR; Charles100120Control Rac1 RNAiA. Valster et al. / Methods 37 (2005) 208–215213River Lab, Wilmington, MA). After halothane anesthe-sia, the whole brains are quickly removed and placed in cold Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution (GIBCO), which contains 100units/ml penicillin and 100 g/ml strepto-mycin. The brain is cut vertically to the base with a scal-pel, 1mm inward from both rostral and caudal ends of the cerebrum. The cerebrum is attached to the stage of a vibratome (1000 Plus; The Vibratome, St. Louis, MO) using glue (Krazy Glue, Elmer’s Products, Columbus, OH)). The attached cerebrum is further supported by small cubes of 3% agarose gel, which are also attached to the stage by glue. The cerebrum is then cut vertically to the base in 400- m-thick sections. Six slices can be obtained from one rat.The brain slices are transferred to the upper chamber of a transwell insert (six-well plate) and placed on top of the 0.4- m micropore polycarbonate W lter (Becton Dick-inson). Next, 500 l of medium is added to the upper chamber and 1.5ml to the lower chamber. The slice cul-ture medium consists of DMEM with 10% FBS, 100units/ ml penicillin and 100 g/ml streptomycin. The brain slice culture is incubated at 37°C under standard conditions of 100% humidity, 95% air, and 5% CO2. The slices are kept in the incubator until use. The organotypic cytoarchitec-ture of these cultured brain slices and neuronal viability can be preserved for over two weeks [43].5.2.2. Implanting the GFP-expressing cells on brain sliceThree days after transfection with siRNA (Section 2.1), the GF P-expressing cells are trypsinized, collected in DMEM with FBS and spun down. After resuspension in DMEM without FBS, the cells are counted and fur-ther diluted in serum-free DMEM to 2£108 cells/ml. Before the cells are placed on the brain slice, the medium in the upper chamber is aspirated. The surface of brain slice should be semi-dry. This step is critical to avoid cell dispersion over the slice. 105 cells are gently placed on the putamen (0.5 l transfer volume). Subsequently, 500 l of serum-free medium is added onto the upper chamber to avoid drying of brain slice, but still allowing the surface of the slice to remain well exposed to the air. This is critical for the long-term survival of the neuronal cells in the slices. Both right and left sides of the brain slice are used. Typically, we perform three transfections for three brain slices each.Lateral migration of the cells on the upper side of the brain slice can be examined by X uorescent stereomicro-scopic imaging using a Macro-Fluorescent Imaging Sys-tem at 10£ magni W cation (SZX12-RF L3; Olympus) equipped with a GF P barrier W lter (DP50; Olympus). Half of the medium is replaced with fresh medium every 2 days. Depending on the cell line, observations are car-ried out over one to several days.5.2.3. Quantitation of glioma cell invasion into the ex vivo brain sliceTo quantitate glioma cell invasion into the brain slice, the brain slice is W xed overnight on the membrane in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C. Subsequently, the polycarbon-ate membrane is cut out using a scalpel and the W lter with the brain slice are transferred onto a microscope slide for observation using an inverted laser confocal microscope (LSM 5; Zeiss). Serial sections are obtained every 7.5 m downward from the top surface to the bottom of the slice (Fig.4A). Scion image software is used to calculate total area of GFP-stained cells. The area is plotted as a function of the distance from the top surface of the brain slice and the distribution curve is constructed. The extent of gliomaFig.4.

Concluding remarksWith the exception of the brain slice invasion model,the methods described in this review are applicable toother cells types in addition to glioma. On the other hand,although logistically and technically much more involved,the brain slice invasion model described here is unique in that it allows examination of tumor cell invasion in an organotypic fashion. An alternative approach that permits the detailed study of the invasive behavior of other tumor cells in a physiological setting is intravital imaging, either in whole animals [45] or in isolated organs [46].AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by National Institutes of Health Grant CA87567 to M.S. and NS042262 and NS043446 to M.E.B.References[1]A.J.

【摘要】基于弥散磁共振成像DTI的纤维追踪技术是非侵入性活体脑神经研究的关键技术.恒定立体角重建模型CSA是基于DTI发展而来的一种纤维重建模型,能够根据采样球壳上的数据对弥散方向分布函数进行线性径向投影计算,从而进行纤维重建.目前,恒定立体角纤维重建模型存在鲁棒性较差,重建纤维过于杂乱以及弥散方向分布偏差的问题.针对上述问题,本文提出MCSA(Multipoint Constant Solid Angle)模型,首先引入可以使弥散方向分布函数更加准确的最小二乘法,接着通过自适应高斯函数引入多点拟合弥散信息提高模型鲁棒性和抗噪性.最后,本文分别使用Fibercup、ISMRM2015年模拟数据以及Stanford HARDI真实影像数据对传统CSA模型以及本文提出MCSA模型进行对比分析,结果表明,利用本文提出MCSA 模型重建的纤维更加符合客观规律,并且在一定程度上减少了假阳性纤维的生成.【总页数】6页(P1116-1121)

Invasion Assay Using 3D Matrices1. OverviewScientists have developed 3D models to more accurately study cell invasion and migration processes. While most traditional cell culture systems are 2D, cells in our tissues exist within a 3D network of molecules known as the extracellular matrix or ECM. While many of the mechanistic processes required for cell motility in 2D and 3D are similar, factors such as the reduced stiffness of ECM compared to plastic surfaces, the addition of a third dimension for migration, and the physical hindrance of moving through the mesh of long polymers in the ECM, all present different challenges to the cell compared to two-dimensional migration.This video will briefly introduce the basic function and structure of the ECM, as well as the mechanisms by which cells modulate and migrate through it. Next, we’ll discuss a general protocol used to study endothelial cell invasion. Finally, we will highlight several applications of 3D matrices to studying different biological questions.2. ECM Composition and Cell-ECM InteractionLet’s begin by examining the composition of the ECM, and how cells interact with it.The ECM performs many functions, such as providing support for cells, facilitating intercellular communication, and separating tissues. ECM composition varies among different tissues and has different biological properties, but it can be classified into two broad types. The basement membrane serves to anchor and separate tissues, while interstitial matrix surrounds and supports the cells within a tissue. The interstitial matrix is mostly composed of the fibrous protein collagen, but also includes elastin and fibronectin.Several biological processes need to occur for cells to migrate through the ECM. The first is cell-matrix adhesion, which involves transmembrane proteins called integrins. These link the ECM to the cell’s internal scaffold, known as the cytoskeleton.Another process is the structural rearrangement of the cell’s cytoskeleton. This leads to the formation of specialized structures called invadopodia, which are protrusions of the cell into its surrounding matrix. The final step is ECM modulation. This typically involves degradative molecules known as matrix metalloproteases or MMPs, which accumulate in the invadopodia and degrade the surrounding ECM, facilitating cell invasion. 3D matrix invasion assays allow scientists to visualize and study this complex process.3. Endothelial Cell Tube Formation AssayNow that you’re familiar with ECM and its interaction with cells, let’s walk through a protocol for studying ECM invasion by endothelial cells to form tubules. By culturing endothelial cells in a 3D environment, one can simulate the biological process of blood vessel growth, also known as angiogenesis, which is important during both normal development, as well as cancer.First, endothelial cells are cultured, and a single cell suspension is prepared by treating the cells with proteases such as trypsin, and passing them through a mesh filter to break up cell clumps. The 3D matrix, commonly composed of collagen, fibrin, laminin, or more complex combinations of these components—which can either be prepared in-lab or ordered from commercial vendors—is then thawed on ice. Since most ECM preparations polymerize at higher temperatures, it is helpful to keep other equipment and reagents cold as well. The cell suspension is mixed with the thawed matrix solution to embed cells, and this mixture is placed into a cell culture incubator where the higher temperature will cause the matrix to polymerize.Once the cell-containing matrix is set, culture media containing angiogenic factors is added to the matrix dish. Using time-lapse microscopy software, individual cells can then be tracked to observe their migration through the matrix. The resulting images are analyzed,and cell positions are used to calculate movement direction and distance in microns. These values can then be plotted to determine locomotory activity—the average migration rate of the cells. Finally, tube network formation is observed and analyzed using visualization software to identify features such as nodes, tubes, and loops.4. ApplicationsNow, let’s explore a few applications of 3D matrices in specific experiments.Cell migration is mediated by active modulation of the cellular cytoskeleton. In this experiment, collagen matrices were prepared and mixed with a stain containing red fluorescent protein to allow for visualization. Individual cell spheroids, which are free-floating cell clusters, were isolated and embedded in the collagen matrix. Following incubation, the embedded cells were stained for specific cytoskeletal components, and imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Researchers observed cytoskeletal components and their alterations as cells migrated through the ECM.Scientists can also study how the properties of the ECM affect migration. Using a concentric gel system, where cells are embedded in an inner gel matrix surrounded by outer matrices of varying concentrations,scientists can track cells using time-lapse microscopy to study their migration from the inner gel to the initially cell-free outer gel. Researchers observed that the greater stiffness of higher concentration gels resulted in increases in both cell displacement and overall distance of cell migration.Finally, matrix invasion assays can be performed within a living animal to study angiogenesis in an organ-specific context. Here, fibrin gels—commonly used in tissue engineering due to their biodegradable nature—were generated, followed by implantation into mouse lungs where the gels were held in place by a “glue” made of the protein fibrinogen. Cell migration and new blood vessel formation were allowed to occur for the following 7 to 30 days, after which the lungs and fibrin gels were harvested, fixed, and sectioned. Imaging of these sections revealed blood vessel and alveoli formation in the implanted gels, giving researchers insight into this crucial aspect of lung development in its in vivo setting.。
