An in vitro vascularized micro-tumor model of human colorectal cancer recapitulates in vivo responses to standard-of-care therapy

ABSTRACT: Around 95% of anti-cancer drugs that show promise during preclinical study fail to gain FDA-approval for clinical use. This failure of the preclinical pipeline highlights the need for improved, physiologically-relevant in vitro models that can better serve as reliable drug-screening and disease modeling tools. The vascularized micro-tumor (VMT) is a novel three-dimensional model system (tumor-on-a-chip) that recapitulates the complex human tumor microenvironment, including perfused vasculature, within a transparent microfluidic device, allowing real-time study of drug responses and tumor–stromal interactions. Here we have validated this microphysiological system (MPS) platform for the study of colorectal cancer (CRC), the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, by showing that gene expression, tumor heterogeneity, and treatment responses in the VMT more closely model CRC tumor clinicopathology than current standard drug screening modalities, including 2-dimensional monolayer culture and 3-dimensional spheroids.

In vitro throughput screening of anticancer drugs by patient-derived cell lines cultured　on vascularized three-dimensional stromal tissues

Project description:The development of high-throughput anticancer drug screening using patient-derived cancer cell lines (PDCs) that maintain their original characteristics in an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) culture system poses a significant challenge for achieving personalized cancer medicine. Because stromal tissue plays a critical role in the composition and maintenance of the cancer microenvironment, in vitro 3D-culture using reconstructed stromal tissues has attracted much attention. Here, a simple and unique in vitro 3D-culture method using heparin and collagen together with fibroblast and endothelial cells to fabricate vascularized 3D-stromal tissues for in vitro culture of PDCs is reported. While co-treatment with bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against the vascular endothelial growth factor, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) significantly reduced the survival rate of the 3D-cultured PDCs to 30%, separate addition of each drug did not induce such strong cytotoxicity, suggesting the possibility of evaluating the combined effect of anticancer drug and an angiogenesis inhibitor. Surprisingly, drug evaluation using eight PDCs with the 3D-culture method resulted in a drug efficacy concordance rate of 75% with clinical history. The model is expected to be applied to in vitro throughput drug screening for the development of personalized cancer medicine.

Orthotopic CRC organoid transplantation in mice: A novel model for the study and treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis [Bulk RNA-Seq]

Project description:Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) originating from colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with a poor prognosis and rapid disease progression. Metastasis is the major cause of death in patients with CRC whereas primary locoregionally circumscribed tumors are mostly curable. Due to the lack of appropriate and realistic mouse models for metastasis of CRC until recently, the research about metastasis of these tumors and possible therapeutic options is still in its infancy. With the establishment of murine CRC tumor organoids, mouse models were established which realistically mimic the process of tumor cell metastasis to the liver and the lung. However, to date no appropriate model for PC is described. Here, we establish a realistic model for peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer upon surgical transplantation of tumor organoids into the cecum wall. This mouse model for PC recapitulates human PC which makes it an ideal model for research of the biology of metastasis of colorectal cancer to the peritoneal cavity and for its usage for preclinical drug screening as well as for the evaluation of new therapeutic approaches which are highly needed in clinical reality.

A phenotype-based model for rational selection of novel targeted therapies in treating aggressive breast cancer

Project description:Treating unselected cancer patients with new drugs dilutes proof of efficacy when only a fraction of patients respond to therapy. We conducted a meta-analysis on eight primary breast cancer microarray datasets representing diverse breast cancer phenotypes. We present a high-throughput protocol which incorporates drug sensitivity signatures to guide preclinical testing for effective therapeutic agents. Specifically, we focus on drug classes currently undergoing early phase clinical testing. Our genomic and experimental results suggest that the majority of basal-like breast cancers should respond to inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway, and that a relatively low toxicity histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid, may target aggressive breast cancers. For a subset of drugs, prediction of sensitivity associates with tumor recurrence, suggesting clinical relevance. Preclinical studies using both cell lines and patient tumors grown in 3-dimensional in vitro and orthotopic in vivo preclinical models provide an efficient and highly relevant assessment of drug sensitivity in tumor phenotypes, and validate our genomic analyses. Together, our results show that high-throughput transcriptional profiling can significantly impact drug selection for breast cancer patients. Pre-identification of patient response may not only improve therapeutic response rates, it can also assist in quickly identifying the optimal inclusion criteria for clinical trials. Our model facilitates personalized drug therapy for cancer patients and may be generalized for study of drug efficacy in other diseases. Breast cancer pleural effusion samples from triple negative patients. Compared samples that are computationally predicted to be sensitive to valproic acid and those that are not predicted to be sensitive.

Molecular Evaluation of Patient-Derived Colorectal Cancer Explants as a Pre-clinical Mouse Model of Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Mouse models have been developed to investigate colorectal cancer etiology and evaluate new anti-cancer therapies. While genetically engineered and carcinogen-induced mouse models have provided important information with regard to the mechanisms underlying the oncogenic process, xenograft models remain the standard for the evaluation of new chemotherapy and targeted drug treatments for clinical use. However, it remains unclear if drug efficacy data obtained from xenograft models translate into clinically-relevant treatment modalities. In this study, we have generated a panel of 28 patient-derived colorectal cancer explants (PDCCEs), an extension of our previous work, by direct transplantation of human colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues into NOD-SCID mice. A comprehensive histological and molecular evaluation of PDCCEs and their corresponding patient tumor demonstrates that PDCCEs maintain histological features and global biology through multiple passages. Furthermore, we demonstrate that in vivo sensitivity of PDCCEs to oxaliplatin can predict patient outcomes. Our findings suggest that PDCCEs maintain similarity to the patient tumor from which they are derived and can serve as a reliable preclinical model that can be incorporated into future strategies to optimize individual therapy for patients with CRC. 28 human primary colorectal and 37 mouse derived colorectal explant tumors

Shaping immune landscape of colorectal cancer by cholesterol metabolites [C57BL/6]

Project description:Cancer immunotherapies have achieved unprecedented success in clinic, but they remain largely ineffective in some major types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer with microsatellite stability (MSS CRC) (Picard et al., 2020). It is therefore important to study tumor microenvironment of resistant cancers for developing new intervention strategies. In this study, we identify a metabolic cue that determines the unique immune landscape of MSS CRC. Through secretion of distal cholesterol precursors, which directly activate RORgt, MSS CRC cells can polarize T cells toward Th17 cells that have well-characterized pro-tumor functions in colorectal cancer. Analysis of large human cancer cohorts revealed an asynchronous pattern of the cholesterol biosynthesis in MSS CRC, which is responsible for the abnormal accumulation of distal cholesterol precursors. Inhibiting the cholesterol biosynthesis enzyme Cyp51 by ketoconazole, a clinically approved drug, reduced the levels of intratumoral distal cholesterol precursors and suppressed tumor progression through a Th17-modulation mechanism in preclinical MSS CRC models. Our study therefore reveals a novel immune-modulation mechanism of oncometabolites and an invention strategy for the difficult-to-treat MSS CRC.

Gene expression profiles of colorectal cancer cells under the three dimensional culture

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows the high mortality and morbidity. The mortal number of patients and the morbid number of patients with CRC is also increasing. However, the genes which relate to promote tumorigenesis in CRC remain unclear. In order to investigate specific genes and pathways involved in CRC tumorigenesis, we compared genes expressed between three dimensional cultures and control two-dimensional cultures. Total RNA was prepared from the CRC cell lines under the condition of two-dimensional culture and three dimensional culture.

Orthotopic CRC organoid transplantation in mice: A novel model for the study and treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis [Whole-tumor scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Metastasized colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with a poor prognosis and rapid disease progression. Besides hepatic metastasis, peritoneal carcinomatosis is the major cause of death in UICC stage IV CRC patients. Insights into differential site-specific reconstitution of tumor cells and the corresponding tumor microenvironment are still missing. Here, we analysed the transcriptome of single cells derived from murine multivisceral CRC and gave insight into the inter-metastatic cellular heterogeneity regarding tumor epithelium, stroma and immune cells. Interestingly, we found an intercellular site-specific network of cancer associated fibroblasts and tumor epithelium during peritoneal metastasis as well as an autologous feed-forward loop in cancer stem cells. We furthermore deciphered a metastatic dysfunctional adaptive immunity by a loss of B cell dependent antigen presentation and consecutive effector cell exhaustion. Consequently, we demonstrate the high human-mimicking potential of this murine metastatic CRC model and provide a valid tool for future site-specific preclinical drug testing.

Prospective derivation of a 'Living Organoid Biobank' of colorectal cancer patients

Project description:In Rspondin-based three-dimensional cultures, Lgr5 stem cells from multiple organs form ever-expanding epithelial organoids that retain their tissue identity. Here we report the establishment of tumor organoid cultures from 20 consecutive colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients. For most, organoids were also generated from adjacent normal tissue. Organoids closely resemble the original tumor. The spectrum of genetic changes within the 'living biobank' agrees well with previous large-scale mutational analyses of CRC. Gene expression analysis indicates that the major CRC molecular subtypes are represented. Tumor organoids are amenable to high-throughput drug screens allowing detection of gene-drug associations. As an example, a single organoid culture was exquisitely sensitive to Wnt secretion (porcupine) inhibitors and carried a mutation in the negative Wnt feedback regulator RNF43, rather than in APC. Organoid technology may fill the gap between cancer genetics and patient trials, complement cell line- and xenograft-based drug studies and allow personalized therapy design.
