Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of cluster morphometric parameters of SK-N-BE (2) and SH-SY5Y cells over 3, 7, and 10 days of culture in non-VN-added and VN-rich 3D GTA-sf hydrogels with and without CLG (A) Representative holographic micrographs from VN-rich hydrogel-grown SK-N-BE (2) and SH-SY5Y cell clusters without CLG at day 3, 7, and 10 of culture. Red, green, and blue arrows depict the 24 h-length videos taken at 0 and 24 h. (B–D) Morphometric parameters in SK-N-BE (2) and SH-SY5Y cell clusters at 0 h and 24 h of day 3 (red line), 7 (green line), and 10 (blue line) time points in non-VN-added and VN-rich hydrogels without CLG (upper graphs) and with CLG (lower graphs). (B) Optical volume (μm)3, (C) optical thickness (μm), and (D) irregularity (0–1) measurements. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. (E) Heatmap of statistically significant differences of SK-N-BE (2) and SH-SY5Y cell clusters at 3, 7, and 10 day time points between non-VN-added and VN-rich hydrogels without CLG and with CLG. (i) Optical volume (μm)3, (ii) optical thickness (μm), and (iii) irregularity (0–1) measurements. SK: SK-N-BE (2), SH: SH-SY5Y, nVN-C: non-VN-added Control, nVN-CLG: non-VN-added CLG, VN-C: VN-rich-Control, VN-CLG: VN-rich-CLG. Statistical analysis using non-parametrical Kruskal-Wallis test, ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. SEM, standard error of the mean. Significant differences discussed in the text are highlighted in bold. The field of view is 567 × 567 μm. The scale bar is 100 μm. D, day, CLG, Cilengitide, VN, vitronectin.
Article Snippet: MYCN -amplified SK-N-BE (2) and ALK -mutated SH-SY5Y human NB cell lines were chosen from a variety of available cell lines, since MYCN -amplified and ALK -mutated tumors represent 64% of high-risk neuroblastoma [50 and 14%, respectively]., Cells were acquired from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured in IMDM medium (Gibco, Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% insulin/transferrin and 1% Penicillin/streptomycin at 37°C in 5% CO2 atmosphere.
