The inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity of breast cancer needs to be adequately captured in pre-clinical models. We have created a large collection of breast cancer patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDTXs), in which the morphological and molecular characteristics of the originating tumor are preserved through passaging in the mouse. An integrated platform combining in vivo maintenance of these PDTXs along with short-term cultures of PDTX-derived tumor cells (PDTCs) was optimized. Remarkably, the intra-tumor genomic clonal architecture present in the originating breast cancers was mostly preserved upon serial passaging in xenografts and in short-term cultured PDTCs. We assessed drug responses in PDTCs on a high-throughput platform and validated several ex vivo responses in vivo. The biobank represents a powerful resource for pre-clinical breast cancer pharmacogenomic studies (http://caldaslab.cruk.cam.ac.uk/bcape), including identification of biomarkers of response or resistance.
乳腺癌的肿瘤间和肿瘤内异质性需要在临床前模型中得到充分体现。我们创建了大量源自乳腺癌患者的肿瘤异种移植模型(PDTXs),通过在小鼠体内传代,保留了原发肿瘤的形态和分子特征。优化了一个整合平台,该平台将这些PDTXs的体内维持与PDTX衍生的肿瘤细胞(PDTCs)的短期培养相结合。值得注意的是,原发乳腺癌中存在的肿瘤内基因组克隆结构在异种移植和短期培养的PDTCs中连续传代后大多得以保留。我们在高通量平台上评估了PDTCs的药物反应,并在体内验证了几种体外反应。该生物样本库是临床前乳腺癌药物基因组学研究的强大资源(http://caldaslab.cruk.cam.ac.uk/bcape),包括鉴定反应或耐药的生物标志物。
