What are 3D cell culture models?

3D cell culture models are in vitro multicellular structures designed to emulate tissue or organ like properties that better replicate the cellular environment in vivo, providing opportunities to produce more relevant results. Both organoid and spheroid models are being increasingly used in multiple areas such as neurobiology stem cell research, regenerative medicine, and cancer biology for the key insights they provide in translation research.


Better in vitro models for disease research

Whether you are just beginning your research with 3D cell culture models and need to learn more about organoids or spheroids or need appropriate tools to validate your in vitro models, we have outlined these five easy steps to support your progress.


Five-step workflow for organoid and 3D cell culture and analysis

Step 1: Source cells for the in vitro model

Choose cells that allow you to closely mimic the in vivo state and generate more relevant data

Creating relevant in vitro models starts with selecting the cell line that best represents the biology you are trying to reproduce. In some cases, this means starting with isolated primary cells to build predictive cell culture models for liver toxicity (hepatocytes) or skin toxicity (HUVEC or keratinocytes) to study drug absorption.

For cell types that are more difficult to obtain, such as neurons, it may be advisable to start with stem cells and leverage the 3D microenvironment to derive more complex cellular structures or “mini organs” that contain multiple cell types.

Step 2: Choose 3D cell support material

Selecting the right culture matrix is an important step in developing a successful culture system for organoids and spheroids

Extracellular matrices and 3D cultureware are used to easily transition from a 2D monolayer environment to 3D cell culture models. 3D cultureware systems are used for scale-up and full organoid model development. Porous membrane-based systems are advantageous when polarization of the epithelial cells is needed in cell differentiation and tissue formation.

Cultureware for 3D cell culture models

Nunclon Sphera plates and dishes

Typically, culture systems enable better control in the number and size of spheroids and organoids and are highly compatible with plate readers and HCA platforms. The Thermo Scientific Nunclon Sphera culture system was specifically designed to enable 3D cell culture (i.e., spheroid and organoid growth) with many options for plates, dishes, flasks and well inserts. The special design of our Nunclon Sphera allows cells to grow in suspension with almost no cell attachment to the cultureware, supporting the establishment of 3D spheroids and organoids when used either as a scaffold-free system or with our optimized Gibco scaffold-based substrates (ECM/matrices).

Figure 2. Minimal cell adhesion on Nunclon Sphera surface. Cell adhesion is much lower on the Nunclon Sphera surface than that on the cell culture-treated and non-treated controls for all cell types tested. Nunclon Sphera also shows lower adhesion than another brand of low–cell attachment surface (Brand C) for the differentiated U937 cells.

Cell culture plates, inserts, and dishes for 3D cell culture models

The Thermo Scientific Nunc cell culture inserts are made up of a porous and unique structure that allows the attached surface of your cells to be simultaneously exposed to growth media and to the variable condition(s) your experiment may entail. Even more, the carrier plate option makes it easy to carry out these procedures with precision and efficiency.

Tips and tricks

  • A few ways to control the size of spheroids include: adjusting the initial cell seeding density, avoiding culture vessels with large surface areas, such as a T flask or a large petri dish, or using a more confined physical space to promote spheroid formation, such as a low-attachment microplate (e.g., Nunclon Sphera 96-well U bottom plate).
  • Geltrex matrix is a soluble form of basement membrane extracted from murine Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumors and can be used as a replacement for products like Matrigel matrix. Learn more about Geltrex basement membrane extract.

Step 3: Select cell culture media and supplements

3D culture systems can be modified and developed to suit specialized cell types like stem cells or cancer cell lines

Growing 3D cell culture models is a commitment in time and resources, and you need reassurance that your investment is going to give you the biology you anticipate. Gibco media and reagents are widely used in the growth, differentiation, and maturation of 3D cell culture models.

Recombinant growth factors and cytokines can help fine-tune your culture system to generate the 3D cell model you need. Gibco Peprotech recombinant proteins undergo rigorous testing and quality controls to support robust cell culture models.

Available 3D cell culture media and supplements

Tips and tricks

  • Check your media requirements—half or full media changes may be required for long-term culture or differentiation protocols
  • When preparing to aspirate media from a well, tilting the microplate at an angle will prevent the pipette tip from touching the bottom of the well where the spheroids are settled.
  • Thermo Scientific Wellwash Versa Microplate Washer can be programmed to quickly, safely, and consistently exchange media without sample loss
  • Recombinant proteins for organoid culture can be used to develop these more sophisticated 3D cell culture models

Step 4: Monitor and visualize spheroid growth

Visual and quantitative analysis of 3D cell culture models

Confirming that 3D cell structures are developing and maintaining the appropriate morphology is paramount to establishing a 3D in vitro model with the correct cellular and biochemical makeup. Methods to monitor 3D cell cultures include measurement of cell count, cluster size, and growth patterns over time in multi-well plate formats. These measurements can be achieved with technologies, such as microscopic imaging and high-content analysis.

Brightfield imaging can easily establish the diameter of spheroids and organoids, and this data can be used to calculate volume and estimate the number of cells in the 3D clusters. Quantification by fluorescence imaging of cells in a 3D cell culture model can be more difficult due to the dense cellular organization of a cluster of cells. As 3D clusters get larger, they become opaquer, so seeing within the spheroid is not always possible. Clearing agents and antifade mounting agents can help to visualize 3D cultures while maintaining the morphology of the cells, making them amenable to techniques like immunofluorescence (IF), immunocytochemistry (ICC), and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

  • Leverage clearing reagents such as the CytoVista 3D Cell Culture Clearing Reagent to analyze your whole 3D cell culture model from the outer layers to the core.

Step 5: Characterize and assay genotype and phenotype

Molecular and cellular characterization of spheroids and 3D cell culture models

Visualization of 3D cell culture models and assessing their health are important to ensure that growth conditions are correct, but researchers must go a step further. New 3D in vitro models need to have their gene expression profiles, phenotypic markers, and organelle function analyzed to help ensure they resemble the microanatomy of the tissue or organ under investigation. Antibodies can be used to characterize the cell line or primary cells, from which spheroids are developed. Monitoring mRNA expression level in the developing cell culture model can help to identify cell types or changes in gene expression pattern that occur under certain treatment conditions. Mitochondrial health, cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species levels, and apoptosis, are measured using live-cell functional probes.

Assay products

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers the necessary tools to validate 3D cell culture models. TaqMan® Assay probes and QuantStudio Real Time PCR are easy, fast ways to monitor gene expression. Our inclusive portfolio of validated antibodies and immunoassays can be used to detect intracellular, membrane bound or secreted protein markers.

Activated T cells (isolated from PBMC using Dynabeads magnetic beads coated with CD3/CD28), or non-activated T cells were added to A549 spheroid cells at various concentrations. A549 cells were analyzed for levels of caspase activity to determine the amount of apoptotic death. HeLa cells treated with activated T cells showed increased levels of caspase activity, while those treated with non-activated T cells showed decreased levels of caspase activity. Prior to co-culturing, T cells were stained with CellTracker Deep Red dye (purple dye). Apoptosis (cell death) was measured using CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent. Images were collected on a CellInsight CX7 LZR HCA instrument in confocal mode. Bright field images were used to determine spheroid area.
