(b) On day 3 of culture, PDOS organoids were embedded in photocrosslinkable matrix precursors and crosslinked using visible light to prepare OS-matrix microenvironments. (c) Method for determination of organoid core and invasion area using brightfield images and ImageJ analysis. (d) Matrix-based response to doxorubicin (DOX) was used to evaluate the effect of matrix type and stiffness on OS response to chemotherapy.

(a) Fluorescein diacetate (FDA)-based staining of live PDOS organoids treated with mid-concentration DOX (0.1 µM) was conducted at endpoint of treatment (day 4 post-embedding). (b) Metabolic activity of matrix-free and embedded organoids determined on day 7 of culture (day 4 post-embedding). The relative metabolic activity of each sample was determined through normalization to respective group vehicle controls. Heatmap values represent mean. N = 1. n = 6. (c) IC 50 values for PDOS cultures was determined via [inhibitor] vs. response variable slope (four parameters) non-linear regression.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Morphological response of PDOS organoids to treatment with increasing DOX concentration. (a) Brightfield microscopy of PDOS organoids treated with DOX demonstrates that core and invasive areas were reduced in all groups with increasing DOX concentration. (b) Quantification of spheroid core areas revealed that core size was slightly decreased with increasing DOX concentration for most matrix types. N = 1. n = 6. Error bars = STDEV. (c) Total organoid area quantification shows that groups with high invasion, such as soft LungMA and soft GelMA, undergo a decrease in total cell area with increasing DOX concentration. N = 1. n = 6. Error bars = STDEV. (d) Quantification of the percentage of core and invasive cell areas in relation to total cell coverage acts as an indicator for drug-based invasion inhibition. N = 1. n = 6. Error bars = STDEV.
