Figure Lengend Snippet: IncuCyte S3 live cell system (4×) Live spheroids images analysis shows the proliferation curves of the confluence ratio of U87 single spheroid upon using the protocol steps. The first triplicate failed to convert the aggregates to spheroids without using the washing solution. However, following the protocol showed consistent reproducibility for the single spheroids on three triplicates 2, 3, and 4. The images show the difference between the shape of the aggregates and the successful shape of the spheroid.

Figure Lengend Snippet: IncuCyte S3 live cell system (4×) Live spheroids images analysis shows (A) the proliferation curves of the confluence ratio of U87 single spheroid for four spheroids shrinked to the half size after 24 hours then grew over time. The images show the negative effect of using different type of plate. (B) the image shows the instant adherence of the cells when using different plate without washing. (C) The image shows the cells gathered when the anti-adherence solution. However, the plate material was not suitable to allow the tightness of the cells. A crack in the middle appeared after the centrifugation directly.

Figure Lengend Snippet: IncuCyte S3 live cell system (4×) Live spheroids images show the potential of using the protocol to obtain single spheroids from various cell lines. The comparison shows consistency in the mean size and similar standard deviation for 6 individual samples from each cell line (U87 MG, SF188, SEBTA-027 human brain tumours, DU145 prostate human tumour, and TRAMP-C1 prostate murine tumour). The scale bar is 400 µm.

Representative images of U87MG cells at 3 (A) , 36 (B) , and 72 (C) hours at 20x magnification after taking out of Cryofrizide. A luciferase receptor gene was used to tag the U87MG cells. Steady growth and attenuation of the morphological pattern of U87MG cells present at 36 and 72 h. (D) Detection of luciferase activity expressed in luciferase units (LFU) in U87MG and hRPE cells. Results are the average of three independent experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Experimental design, showing bregma level and site of tumor cell implantation in anesthetized athymic nude female mice, secured in a stereotactic head frame. (B) Timeline showing GBM implantation, imaging, and treatments. Mice underwent stereotactic implantation of the luciferase-modified U87MG cells on day 0 and were monitored during a 30-day survival period. Treatment was started on day 13 post-implantation. In vivo bioluminescent imaging was performed on days 13, 20, and 30 post-implantation. On day 30, mice were sacrificed, and ex vivo MRI was conducted on perfused brains.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Quantification of bioluminescent signals from tumors. Radiance (Radiance × 10 6 ) values from regions of interest in mice from all groups were averaged and compared on days 13, 20, and 30 following intracranial implantation of U87-Luc cells. Tumor-bearing mice treated with (A) LAU-0901, Avastin, LAU-0901 + Avastin and (B) ELV, ELV + LAU-0901, and ELV + Avastin were observed have significantly reduced tumorigenesis when compared to vehicle-treated mice. All values are mean ± SEM ( n = 5–7), * p < 0.05.
