Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign, monoclonal, gynaecological tumors in a woman’s uterus, while leiomyosarcoma is a rare but aggressive condition caused by the malignant transformation of the myometrium. To overcome the common obstacles related to the methods usually used to study these pathologies, we aimed to devise three-dimensional models of myometrium, uterine leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma cell lines, using two different types of biocompatible scaffolds. Specifically, we exploited the agarose gel matrix in common 6-well plates and the alginate matrix using Bioprinting INKREDIBLE + (CELLINK), a pneumatic extruded base equipped with a system with double printheads, and a UV printer LED curing system. Both methods allowed the development of 3D spheroids of all three cell types, that were also suitable for morphological investigations. We showed that all cell types embedded in both agarose and alginate formed spheroids in their growth medium. The spheroids successfully proliferated and self-organized into complex structures, developing a sustainable system that emulated the condition of the tissues through the accumulation of extracellular matrix. These models could be useful for a better understanding of pathophysiology, etiopathogenesis, and testing new methods or molecules from a preventive and therapeutic point of view.
