Cancer organoids are three-dimensional mini-organ analogues derived from cancer tissues and have been proposed as models capable of simulating the structure and function of human organs and tissues in vitro. We sought to establish gastric cancer patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from tissues obtained by endoscopic biopsies. Gastric cancer-PDOs were successfully established and cultured from cancer tissues with gastric adenocarcinoma by endoscopic biopsies. To confirm that gastric cancer-PDOs were derived from cancer tissue, the consistency of the original cancer tissue was assessed by histopathological examination. As a result, it was confirmed that the shape and internal structure of gastric cancer-PDO were derived from the original gastric cancer cells, and the tumor specificity of gastric cancer-PDO was confirmed through Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and polyclonal carcinoembryonic antigen antibody staining. These results demonstrate that gastric cancer-PDO models show the characteristics of primary tumors and have potential for drug screening and providing a personalized medicine platform.
癌症类器官是源自癌症组织的三维微型器官模拟物,被提议作为能够模拟人类器官和组织结构和功能的体外模型。我们试图从内窥镜活检获得的组织中建立胃癌患者来源的类器官(PDO)。通过内窥镜活检从胃腺癌癌症组织中成功建立和培养了胃癌 PDO。为了确认胃癌 PDO 源自癌症组织,通过组织病理学检查评估了原始癌症组织的一致性。结果证实,胃癌 PDO 的形状和内部结构源自原始胃癌细胞,并且通过过碘酸希夫(PAS)和多克隆癌胚抗原抗体染色证实了胃癌 PDO 的肿瘤特异性。这些结果表明,胃癌 PDO 模型显示出原发性肿瘤的特征,并且具有用于药物筛选和提供个性化医学平台的潜力。
