A comparison of prostate cancer cell transcriptomes in 2D monoculture vs 3D xenografts identify consistent gene expression alterations associated with tumor microenvironments

Abstract

Prostate cancer (PC) research has relied heavily on patient‐derived cell lines, which may be used for in vitro (two‐dimensional [2D]) studies or cultivated as three‐dimensional (3D) xenografts in mice. These approaches are likely to have differential impacts on cell phenotypes, with implications for experimental outcomes. Therefore, defining and comparing the transcriptional signatures associated with 2D and 3D approaches may be useful for designing experiments and interpreting research results.
