Analysis of the Internal Hypoxic Environment in Solid Tumor Tissue Using a Folding Paper System

Abstract: Hypoxia is a nonphysiological oxygen tension which is common in most malignant tumors. Hypoxia stimulates complicated cell signaling networks in cancer cells, e.g., the HIF, PI3K, MAPK, and NFκB pathways. Then, cells release a number of cytokines such as VEGFA to promote the growth of peripheral blood vessels and lead to metastasis. In the current work, understanding of the internal hypoxic environment in solid tumor tissue was attempted by developing a folding paper system. A paper-based solid tumor was const… Show more

“…2A ). Since tumor cells survive in a hypoxic microenvironment ( 29 ), the A549 cell line was cultured under 2% O 2 hypoxia to further investigate the expression level of XBP1s. The protein expression level of XBP1s in the A549 cell line was increased under hypoxic conditions.…”

“…Furthermore, a paper-based gel-free cell culture model was further demonstrated in the construction of a folding paper system. 225 The system was developed to simulate the internal hypoxic environment of solid tumor tissue and analyze the protein expression of each sectioning layer of the tumor. HIF1-α and VEGF were highly expressed by the cells in the inner layer of the system, as shown in Fig.…”

“…Our group [142][143][144][145][146][147] and others [148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155] have created papersupported models where thin paper scaffolds infiltrated with cells embedded in hydrogels are assembled to create a tissue construct with one or more layers (Figure 2Ciii). Single-layer systems offer quick and inexpensive fabrication and a mechanically reinforced platform for applications where low hydrogel volumes are desired to facilitate live imaging but a 3D structure is still required and where repeated media changes could degrade softer hydrogel domes.…”
