Metastatic cancers can be highly heterogeneous, show large patient variability and are typically hard to treat due to chemoresistance. Personalized therapies are therefore needed to suppress tumor growth and enhance patient's quality of life. Identifying appropriate patient-specific therapies remains a challenge though, due mainly to non-physiological in vitro culture systems. Therefore, more complex and physiological in vitro human cancer microenvironment tools could drastically aid in development of new therapies. We developed a plasma-modified, electro-spun 3D scaffold (PP-3D-S) that can mimic the human cancer microenvironment for customized-cancer therapeutic screening. The PP-3D-S was characterized for optimal plasma-modifying treatment and scaffolds morphology including fiber diameter and pore size. PP-3D-S was then seeded with human fibroblasts to mimic a stromal tissue layer; cell adhesion on plasma-modified poly (lactic acid), PLA, electrospun mats vastly exceeded that on untreated controls. The cell-seeded scaffolds were then overlaid with alginate/gelatin-based hydrogel embedded with MDA-MB231 human breast cancer cells, representing a tumor-tissue interface. Among three different plasma treatments, we found that NH3 plasma promoted the most tumor cell migration to the scaffold surfaces after 7 days of culture. For all treated and non-treated mats, we observed a significant difference in tumor cell migration between small-sized and either medium- or large-sized scaffolds. In addition, we found that the PP-3D-S was highly comparable to the standard Matrigel® migration assays in two different sets of doxorubicin screening experiments, where 75% reduction in migration was achieved with 0.5 µM doxorubicin for both systems. Taken together, our data indicate that PP-3D-S is an effective, low-cost, and easy-to-use alternate 3D tumor migration model which may be suitable as a physiological drug screening tool for personalized medicine against metastatic cancers.
