ABSTRACT
Hypoxia is a common and critical feature of solid tumors that contributes to the plasticity and heterogeneity of the cancer cells. Cancer cell populations take on a region-specific adaptation induced by hypoxia, and each cancer cell population will show different levels of sensitivity and resistance to cancer therapeutics. Therefore, a faithful recapitulation of tumor hypoxia that allows for accurate assessments of hypoxia-induced adaptations, heterogeneity, and response to therapy is needed to develop new therapeutic approaches. The existing hypoxic tumor models rely on complex fabrication methods and external gas sources that make them unfavorable for the early-stage screening of new therapeutics. Here, we demonstrate how to establish a cleanroom-free microfluidic device that supports both 2D and 3D hypoxic tumor modeling through natural cancer cell metabolism and confirm the induction of the hypoxic gradient.
