Abstract:

Objective To construct an artificial skin model of melanoma by mixed culture of human keratinocytes and MV3 melanoma cells on de-epidermized dermis （DED） in order to study the effect of keratinocytes on melanoma invasion. Methods Epidermal cell suspension was obtained by a two-step digestion method from the circumcised foreskin of a child, keratinocyte serum-free medium was applied to the culture and passage of keratinocytes. MV3 melanoma cells were cultured and passaged in RPMI 1640 medium. Log-phase keratinocytes and MV3 cells were mixed with a ratio of 3 ∶ 1 and seeded onto the surface of DED followed by a liquid culture and air-liquid culture for a total of 2 weeks. Thereafter, the artificial tissue model was assessed by HE staining and immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein, HMB45 and keratin. Results HE staining showed that MV3 cells formed band-like tumor masses or foci on the surface of DED, with keratinocytes intermingling among the tumor cells, but no typical epidermis-like structure was observed. Some tumor cells infiltrated into the surface of DED and showed a cluster distribution; some tumor cells invaded the lumen of the DED, and attached to the luminal wall in a ring shape; some tumor cells penetrated through the wall into the surrounding dermal tissue. On the bottom and lateral side of DED, tumor cells were infiltrating dispersedly. The tumor loci stained positive for S-100 protein and keratin, and weakly positive for HMB45. Conclusion Kera-tinocytes enhance the invasion of MV3 melanoma cells into the skin tissue model of melanoma.
