Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer type worldwide and breast cancer metastasis accounts for the majority of breast cancer-related deaths. Tumour cells produce increased levels of sialic acid (SA) that terminates the monosaccharide on glycan chains of the glycosylated proteins. 
SA can contribute to cellular recognition, cancer invasiveness and increase the metastatic potential of cancer cells. SA-templated molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been proposed as promising reporters for specific targeting of cancer cells when deployed in nanoparticle format. The sialic acid-molecularly imprinted polymers (SA-MIPs), which use SA for the generation of binding sites through which the nanoparticles can target and stain breast cancer cells, opens new strategies for efficient diagnostic tools. This study aims at monitoring the effects of SA-MIPs on morphology and motility of the epithelial type MCF-7 and the highly metastatic MDAMB231 breast cancer cell lines, using digital holographic cytometry (DHC). DHC is a label-free technique that is used in cell morphology studies of e.g., cell volume, area and thickness as well as in motility studies. Here, we show that MCF-7 cells move slower than MDAMB231 cells. We also show that SA-MIPs have an effect on cell morphology, motility and viability of both cell lines. In conclusion, by using DH microscopy, we could detect SA-MIPs impact on different breast cancer cells regarding morphology and motility.
Keywords: breast cancer; digital holographic cytometry; molecularly imprinted polymers; motility; sialic acid; viability

DHC and Computer Software
For each cell line, 2 × 104 cells/well were seeded in a working volume of 1.8 mL in Sarstedt’s lumox®® multiwell 24 wells plate (Sarstedt, Inc. Nümbrecht, Germany). The cells were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C in humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere to allow to adhere. After incubation, 0.04 mg/mL of SA-MIPs were added to the wells.
Control wells were left without additive for both cell lines.
The plate was incubated for 1 h at 37 °C in humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere.
After the incubation, the standard lid was replaced with the HoloLidTM (Phase Holographic Imaging AB, Lund, Sweden).
The plate was mounted on a HoloMonitorTM M4 (Phase Holographic Imaging, AB), which is placed inside a cell incubator to ensure stable conditions of the cells during long-term experiments.
The HoloMonitorTM is equipped with a 635 nm low laser beam with 0.2 mW/cm2 to prevent phototoxicity effects on the cells.
The image analysis was performed with the proprietary AppSuite software (Phase Holographic Imaging AB). The images were acquired automatically every 30 min for 72 h.

Different Motility between the Cell Lines Analysed with DHC
The motility analysis with DHC showed differences between MCF-7 and MDAMB231. The MDAMB231 cells had higher motility (Video S3) compared to the MCF-7 cells (Video S1) with up to twice the accumulated distance. The MDAMB231 cells incubated with SA-MIPs showed a slight decrease of the accumulated distance after 72 h, while for the MCF-7 cells the accumulated distance increased (Figure 2, Video S2–S4).
 
3.3.
Morphology Changes Detected with DHC MCF-7 and MDAMB231 cells (Figure 3B, D) treated with SA-MIPs for 72 hours had increased in thickness compared to untreated MCF-7 and MDAMB231 cells, respectively as detected by DHC (Figure 3A, C).

5. Conclusions
SA-MIPs affect motility, morphology and viability on both MCF-7 and MDAMB231 cell lines.
The MDAMB231 cells showed higher motility compared to the MCF-7 cells but with SA-MIPs treatment the motility decreased for the MDA-MB231 and increased for the MCF-7 cells.
The SAMIPs treatment over time affected cell morphology such as cell volume, area and thickness. In conclusion, DHC is a powerful tool to analyse the motility and morphology differences between cell lines as well as the SA-MIPs-induced cell response.

Min kommentar 
Denna studie är alltså från GlycoImaging-projektet och berättar om deras MIPSar (cancermarkörer) vid studier på 2 olika typer av bröstcancer,cellinjerna MCF-7 och MDAMB231 .
Man har använt uttrycket DHC (Digital Holographic Cytometry) istället för det vi i vanliga fall känner igen HoloMonitor som: DHM (Digital Holographic Microscope).
I Conclusions får vi info att deras cancermarkörer (MIPS) visar på avsedd effekt,att med deras MIP`s målsöka ämnet sialic acid (SA) som finns i bröstcancertumörer.Det ser man genom att använda HoloMonitor när man studerar cancertumörernas kännetecken.Vilket beskrivs i sista meningen : DHC is a powerful tool to analyse....
Vi får alltså besked att GlycoImaging projektet är framgångsrikt såtillvida att markörerna gör sitt jobb och fungerar som det var tänkt från början. Ett mycket bra besked !
Vi kan förmodligen snart börja spekulera kring Glycoprojektet och dess potential.

Övrigt
länken hittar man kompletterande information som visar 4 filmer gjorda av HoloMonitor i studien.
Scrolla ner till Supplementary Materials.
Sen kan vi på denna sida ta del av info att minst 3 forskningsrapporter till är på gång.
Det kan bli fler då sista inlämningsdatum är 15 Feb.
