High-Throughput Multiplex Immunohistochemistry of Glioma Organoids.

ABSTRACT

The invasive capacity and progression of glioblastoma cells and neoplastic cells in other are dependent on interactions with the surrounding tumor microenvironment. In particular, cancer cells form a reciprocal relationship with noncellular dysregulated extracellular matrix in the tumors. Here, we describe a protocol that can be used to model the functional relationship between tumor cells and extracellular matrix. We demonstrate how 3D organoids, including glioma tumor organoids, can be processed, embedded, and sectioned in a high-throughput setup that enables investigation of the organoids by histopathological methods, multiplex immunohistochemistry, and spatial analysis within the same section.
