摘要
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is known as a chronic hypoxic environment, with spatiotemporal variation in oxygen concentration depending on the distance from blood vessels and the blood supply. In our previous studies, cancer cell behavior was observed under hypoxic conditions with spatial variation of oxygen concentration (oxygen concentration gradients); however, that under oxygen concentration gradients at low oxygen levels found in the TME has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the behavior of breast cancer cells at various oxygen concentration gradients, generated using a microfluidic device with oxygen concentration controllability. The results showed that cell distribution was altered in response to oxygen concentration, and tended to increase in a specific region at around 5% O-2. Evaluation of changes in cell numbers due to proliferation, migration, and cell death indicated that proliferation strongly affected cell distribution.
