Sumario:Triple-negative breast cancers are particularly aggressive. In vitro cultures are one of the major pathways for developing anticancer strategies. The effectiveness and reproducibility of the drug screenings depend largely on the homogeneity of culture media. In order to optimize the predictive responses of triple-negative breast cancer 3D cell culture models, these works were focused on the development of SUM1315 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines in OptiPASS medium, a new serum-free formulation (BIOPASS). In monolayer cell culture, OptiPASS medium was more suitable for MDA-MB-231 than SUM1315 cell line but maintained cell phenotype and allowed sufficient proliferation. For spheroids produced in OptiPASS, the size monitoring showed a 1.3 and 1.5-fold increase for MDA-MB-231 and SUM1315 cell lines, respectively and viability/mortality profiles were maintained. Spheroids drug sensitivity thresholds were also improved allowing quicker high throughput drug screenings. These results showed the suitability of OptiPASS for 2D and 3D cell cultures of these two triple-negative breast cancer cell lines, with reproducibility of spheroid formation superior to 98%. This opens the way to the common use of this synthetic medium in future preclinical breast cancer research studies.
