Figure 1.
3D high-content screening platform that uses mIMCD3 cysts grown in hydrogels as an in vitro model for PKD. (A) mIMCD3 shPkd1 cells grown on culture plastic cannot recapitulate cystic structures (left panel); in contrast, mIMCD3 shPkd1 cells can form cysts when grown in a 3D microenvironment (right panel). (B) 3D high-content screening platform that uses mIMCD3 shPkd1 or mIMRFNPKD 5E4 cysts to determine compound efficacy.
