Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many of the available human prostate cancer (PC) cell lines have lost androgen sensitivity and no longer secrete prostate-specific proteins after serial culturing in cell monolayers. Three-dimensional spheroid cultures have been found to better mimic the in vivo phenotypes of several nonprostatic cell lines. METHODS: We analyzed seven PC cell lines to determine if spheroid culturing results in greater...
