Neuroblastoma is a neural crest cell-derived pediatric tumor characterized by high inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity, and by a poor outcome in advanced stages. Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) have been shown to be useful models for preserving and expanding original patient biopsies in vivo, and for studying neuroblastoma biology in a more physiological setting. The maintenance of genetic, histologic, and phenotypic characteristics of the original biopsy along serial PDX passages in mice is a major concern regarding this model. Here we analyze consecutive PDX passages in mice, at both transcriptomic and histological levels, in order to identify potential changes or highlight similarities to the primary sample. We studied temporal changes using mRNA and miRNA expression and correlate those with neuroblastoma aggressiveness using patient-derived databases. We observed a shortening of tumor onset and an increase in proliferative potential in the PDXs along serial passages. This behavior correlates with changes in the expression of genes related to cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation, including signaling pathways described as relevant for neuroblastoma malignancy. We also identified new genes and miRNAs that can be used to stratify patients according to survival, and which could be potential new players in neuroblastoma aggressiveness. Our results highlight the usefulness of the PDX neuroblastoma model and reflect phenotypic changes that might be occurring in the mouse environment. These findings could be useful for understanding the progression of tumor aggressiveness in this pathology.
