Actually I want to perform invasion assay for PC9 cell. Please help me out, how can I perform this. What differences are there between migration assay and invasion assay method?
Hi! Cell migration is the movement of cells from one area to another in response to chemical attraction or repulsion such as wound repair and metastasis of tumors. Cell invasion is similar to cell migration; however, it require a cell to migrate through extracellular matrix or basement which sometime need enzymatically digestion for penetrating these barrier. Two paper published on Nature Protocol show very prescience information about how to process invasion assay. One paper used the reconstituted BM Matrigel in Boyden blind-well chambers, which is a very rapid, easy,
inexpensive and flexible test. This method can be used to quantify the invasive potential of most cell types. It can be applied to detect the migratory activity associated with matrix degradation and can also be adapted to study the selective degrading activity on different matrix substrates. Another paper show how to seed a monolayer of primary endothelial cells on the surface of a polymerized three-dimensional collagen matrix, which allows manipulation and analysis of rapid sprouting responses. Moreover, Corning also provides a guideline for manipulating cell migration and invasion with simple in vitro approach.
Cell migration is a highly integrated, multi-step process that plays an important role in the progression of various diseases including cancer, atherosclerosis and arthritis. There are various types and definitions of cell migration.
Cell invasion is related to, and encompasses, cell migration, except that cells do more than migrate. Invasive cells move through the extracellular matrix into neighboring tissues in a process that involves ECM degradation and proteolysis.
