摘要

AbstractThe oxygen consumption rate, proliferative activity, and morphology of EMT6/Ro mouse mammary sarcoma cells in monolayer and multicellular spheroid culture have been investigated in a comparative study. During the transition of monolayer cells from the exponential into the plateau growth phase, there is a distinct decrease in the cellular volume that is associated with a corresponding decrease in the proliferative and respiratory activity of the cells. The decline in cell volume is mainly due to a decrease in the content of cytoplasm, whereas the size of the nucleus is only slightly reduced. A concomitant decrease in the number of mitochondria per cell obviously accounts for the reduction in cellular oxygen uptake. Despite a continuous decrease of cell proliferation from the surface to interior regions of EMT6 spheroids reflected by a gradient in tritiated thymidine labeling, volume‐related oxygen consumption is rather uniform in viable regions of these aggregates. The finding can be explained by the results of the morphometric evaluation showing a uniform volume density of mitochondria, i.e., of oxygenconsuming sites within these spheroids. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss,
