Confocal microscopy exposed that E-cadherin was similarly expressed in the cell boundaries within the plasma membrane of PCa cells cultivated in 2D-monolayers, as well as in 3D-spheroids, but resulted up-regulated in 3D-spheroids, compared to 2D-monolayers, in the mRNA Cd200 and protein level. Moreover, markers of the mesenchymal phenotype were expressed at very low levels in 3D-spheroids, suggesting important variations in the phenotype of PCa cells harvested in 3D-spheroids or in 2D-monolayers. Regarded as a complete, our findings donate to a clarification from the function of EMT in PCa and concur that a 3D cell lifestyle model could offer deeper insight in to the knowledge of the biology of PCa. for 15 min at 4 C to eliminate cell particles.
