BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have become an important biomarker in breast cancer. Different isolation tech-niques based on their biological or physical features were established. Currently, the most widely used methods for visualization after their separation are based on immunofluorescent staining, which does not provide the information on the morphology. MATERIALS AND METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate how two different separation techniques affect cell morphology and to analyse cell morphology with techniques used in routine cytopathological laboratory. A direct side-by-side comparison of physical (Parsortix®) and biological (MACS®) separation technique was performed. RESULTS In the preclinical setting, both isolation techniques retained the viability and antigenic characteristics of MCF7 breast cancer cells. Some signs of degeneration such as cell swelling, cytoplasmic blebs, villous projections and vacuolization were observed. In metastatic breast cancer patient cohort, morphological features of isolated CTCs were dependent on the separation technique. After physical separation, CTCs with preserved cell morphology were detected. After biological separation the majority of the isolated CTCs were so degenerated that their identity was difficult to confirm. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, physical separation is a suitable technique for detection of CTCs with preserved cell morphology for the use in a routine cytopathological laboratory.

物理和生物分型分离后血液中乳腺癌循环肿瘤细胞的形态学特征。

背景循环肿瘤细胞(CTC)已成为乳腺癌的重要生物标志物。建立了基于其生物学或物理特征的不同分离技术。目前,最广泛使用的分离后可视化方法是基于免疫荧光染色,不提供形态学信息。材料和方法 本研究的目的是评估两种不同的分离技术如何影响细胞形态,并使用常规细胞病理学实验室中使用的技术分析细胞形态。对物理 (Parsortix®) 和生物 (MACS®) 分离技术进行了直接并排比较。结果 在临床前环境中,两种分离技术都保留了 MCF7 乳腺癌细胞的活力和抗原特征。观察到一些变性迹象,例如细胞肿胀、细胞质气泡、绒毛状突起和空泡化。在转移性乳腺癌患者队列中,分离的 CTC 的形态学特征取决于分离技术。物理分离后,检测到具有保留细胞形态的 CTC。生物分离后,大多数分离的 CTC 都发生了退化,因此很难确认它们的身份。结论 总之,物理分离是一种适用于检测具有保留细胞形态的 CTC 的技术,可用于常规细胞病理学实验室。分离的 CTC 的形态特征取决于分离技术。物理分离后,检测到具有保留细胞形态的 CTC。生物分离后,大多数分离的 CTC 都发生了退化,因此很难确认它们的身份。结论 总之,物理分离是一种适用于检测具有保留细胞形态的 CTC 的技术,可用于常规细胞病理学实验室。分离的 CTC 的形态特征取决于分离技术。物理分离后,检测到具有保留细胞形态的 CTC。生物分离后,大多数分离的 CTC 都发生了退化,因此很难确认它们的身份。结论 总之,物理分离是一种适用于检测具有保留细胞形态的 CTC 的技术,可用于常规细胞病理学实验室。
