cell invasion
Tumor cells can migrate by adhering to specific receptors on the stroma or basement membrane, such as laminin, fibronectin, and type IV collagen. Tumor cells first release proteolytic enzymes or activate zymogen existing in the matrix to degrade matrix components, and then move and fill gaps in the degraded matrix. This process is repeated, making tumor cells continue to invade deeply. The Matrigel used in the cell invasion test was a matrix component extracted from mouse EHS sarcoma and contained LN, type IV collagen, etc. Placing the Matrigel on a porous membrane Transwell invasion cells can form a basement membrane structure very similar to the natural basement membrane. Invasive cells are able to cross the porous membrane under the induction of chemotactic agents, and invasive cells are stained and then observed and counted under a microscope.
Technical principle
Tumor cells can migrate by adhering to specific receptors on the stroma or basement membrane, such as laminin, fibronectin, and type IV collagen. The tumor cells can then release proteolytic enzymes or activate proenzymes already present in the matrix to degrade matrix components. Finally, the tumor cells can move in the degraded matrix and fill the gaps. This process is repeated continuously, making the tumor cells continue to invade deeply. The Matrigel used in this experiment is a matrix component extracted from mouse EHS sarcoma and contains LN, type IV collagen, etc. Placing the Matrigel on a porous membrane Transwell invasion cells can form a basement membrane structure very similar to the natural basement membrane. Invasive cells are able to cross the porous membrane under the induction of chemotactic agents, and invasive cells are stained and then observed and counted under a microscope.
