The rate of O2 consumption by V-79 cells in multicellular spheroids was measured as a function of the spheroid diameter. In situ consumption was equal to that of exponentially growing cells for spheroids less than 200 .mu.m in diameter. The rate of O2 consumption decreased for cells in spheroids between 200 and 400 .mu.m diameter to a value 1/4 the initial, then remained constant with further spheroid growth. Comparison of consumption rates for spheroid-derived cells before and after dissociation from the spheroid structure indicated that the spheroid microenvironment accounted for only 20% of the change in O2 consumption rate. Cell-cell contact, cell packing and cell volume were not critical parameters. Plateau-phase cells had a 5-fold lower rate of O2 consumption than exponential cells, and it is postulated that the spheroid quiescent cell population accounts for a large part of the intrinsic alteration in O2 consumption of cells in spheroids. Some other mechanism must be involved in the regulation of cellular O2 consumption in V-79 spheroids to account for the remainder of the reduction observed in this system.
