Marrow niches in osteosarcoma (OS) are a specialized microenvironment that is essential for the maintenance and regulation of OS cells. However, existing animal xenograft models are plagued by variability, complexity, and high cost. Herein, we used a decellularized osteosarcoma extracellular matrix (dOsEM) loaded with extracellular vesicles from human bone marrow-derived stem cells (hBMSC-EVs) and OS cells as a bioink to construct a micro-osteosarcoma (micro-OS) through 3D printing. The micro-OS was further combined with a microfluidic system to develop into an OS-on-a-chip (OOC) with a built-in recirculating perfusion system. The OOC system successfully integrated bone marrow niches, cell‒cell and cell-matrix crosstalk, and circulation, allowing a more accurate representation of OS characteristics . Moreover, the OOC system may serve as a valuable research platform for studying OS biological mechanisms compared with traditional xenograft models and is expected to enable precise and rapid evaluation and consequently more effective and comprehensive treatments for OS.
骨肉瘤(OS)中的骨髓龛是一种特殊的微环境,对骨肉瘤细胞的维持和调控至关重要。然而,现有的动物异种移植模型存在变异性、复杂性和高成本等问题。在此,我们使用负载人骨髓间充质干细胞来源的细胞外囊泡(hBMSC-EVs)和骨肉瘤细胞的脱细胞骨肉瘤细胞外基质(dOsEM)作为生物墨水,通过3D打印构建了微骨肉瘤(micro-OS)。微骨肉瘤进一步与微流控系统结合,发展成为具有内置循环灌注系统的骨肉瘤芯片(OOC)。OOC系统成功整合了骨髓龛、细胞间和细胞与基质的相互作用以及循环,能够更准确地呈现骨肉瘤的特征。此外,与传统的异种移植模型相比,OOC系统可能成为研究骨肉瘤生物学机制的宝贵研究平台,有望实现对骨肉瘤的精确快速评估,从而实现更有效、更全面的治疗。
