Fish cell spheroids are promising 3D culture models for vertebrate replacement in ecotoxicology. However, new alternative ecotoxicological methods must be adapted for applications in industry and for regulatory purposes; such methods must be cost-effective, simple to manipulate and provide rapid results. Therefore, we compared the effectiveness of the traditional hanging drop (HD), orbital shaking (OS), and HD combined with OS (HD+OS) methods on the formation of zebrafish cell line spheroids (ZFL and ZEM2S). Time in HD (3-5 days) and different 96-well plates [flat-bottom or ultra-low attachment of round-bottom (ULA-plates)] in OS were evaluated. Easy handling, rapid spheroid formation, uniform-sized spheroids, and circularity were assessed to identify the best spheroid protocol. Traditional HD alone did not result in ZFL spheroid formation, whereas HD (5 days)+OS did. When using the OS, spheroids only formed on the ULA-plate. Both HD+OS and OS were reproducible in size (177.50 ± 2.81 µm and 225.62 ± 19.20 µm, respectively) and circularity (0.83 ± 0.02 and 0.80 ± 0.01, respectively) of ZFL spheroids. Nevertheless, HD+OS required a considerable time to completely form spheroids (10 days) and intensive handling, whereas the OS was fast (5 days of incubation) and simple. OS also yielded reproducible ZEM2S spheroids in 1 day (226.23 ± 0.57 µm diameter and 0.80 ± 0.01 circularity). In conclusion, OS in ULA-plate is an effective and simple spheroid protocol for high-throughput ecotoxicity testing. This study contributes to identify a fast, reproducible, and simple protocol of single piscine spheroid formation in 96-well plates and supports the application of fish 3D model in industry and academia |
