Abstract

Here we describe a protocol to utilize human benign leiomyoma tissue in in vitro 3D model that enables an assessment of cell invasion. The chapter also describes detailed instructions for image analysis to quantify the results. Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of the uterus which mimics authentic components of the tumor microenvironment including fibroblasts, vessels, collagen fibers, and extracellular protein composition. The leiomyoma invasion model represents a superior 3D model for cell invasion studies compared to the other non-human organotypic models.
