BACKGROUND/AIM: Osteosarcoma is a rare type of malignancy that affects mostly children and adolescents. A new procedure was designed to create an improved patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse model of osteosarcoma that more closely mimics osteosarcoma in clinical settings. Previous osteosarcoma PDOX models involved implanting a tumor fragment near the femur of nude mice in a space created by separating muscle.
A hole was created in the tibia of nude mice and an osteosarcoma tumor fragment was implanted directly into the bone.
This procedure resulted in tumor growth in the bone similar to osteosarcoma tumors found in clinical patients.
The establishment ratio for this procedure is 80% making it a practical and clinically-relevant model for screening effective therapies for osteosarcoma patients.
背景/目的:骨肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,主要发生在儿童和青少年。本研究设计了一种新的程序,以创建一种改良的患者来源的原位异种移植(PDOX)骨肉瘤小鼠模型,该模型更能模拟临床环境中的骨肉瘤。以前的骨肉瘤 PDOX 模型涉及在裸鼠股骨附近的肌肉间隙中植入肿瘤片段。
在裸鼠的胫骨中钻孔,并将骨肉瘤肿瘤片段直接植入骨中。
该程序导致骨中肿瘤生长类似于临床患者中发现的骨肉瘤肿瘤。
该程序的建立比例为 80%,使其成为一种实用且与临床相关的模型,可用于筛选骨肉瘤患者的有效治疗方法。
