✦ Synopsis

The effects of retinoic acid (RA) on multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) derived from a head and neck squamous carcinoma cell line, MDA 886Ln, were studied. Growth of MTSs was shown to be inhibited by to lo-' M RA; dose response studies demonstrated that by lo-'' M RA, MTS growth was inhibited by less than 20%. MTSs treated with RA for 10 days had a decreased labeling index (1 5% compared with 23% for controls). Histologic studies at 10 days showed both an alteration in tissue-like architecture and an inhibition of squamous differentiation in RAtreated spheroids. Morphologic inhibition of differentiation was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining for involucrin. Histologic sections were also probed with a series of biotinylated lectins to search for RA-induced changes in glycosylation. Changes in staining occurred with two lectins, soybean agglutinin and peanut agglutinin. This study showed that RA induced perturbations in biological processes such as growth and differentiation in a new model system for squamous carcinomas of the head and neck, MDA 886Ln MTS.

## Abstract The growth of multicellular tumor spheroids, MTSs, from squamous carcinoma line MDA 886Ln was inhibited by β‐all‐trans retinoic acid (RA). Inhibition occurred within 3 to 5 days of treatment, and MTS size then remained static for up to 2 weeks. Although their growth stopped, 10‐day‐trea
