Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) organoids that simulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) are an effective tool to identify how TME affects PDAC malignancy. We present a protocol for generating a fused pancreatic cancer organoid (FPCO) that partly reproduces the TME, including heterogeneous cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), using patient-derived PDAC cells and human-induced pluripotent cell-derived endothelial and mesenchymal cells. We also describe the procedure for analyzing FPCO characteristics. FPCO can provide a platform for establishing a reliable drug screening system. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Takeuchi et al..
模拟肿瘤微环境(TME)的胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)类器官是一种有效的工具,可用于确定TME如何影响PDAC的恶性程度。我们提出了一种生成融合胰腺癌类器官(FPCO)的方案,该方案使用患者来源的PDAC细胞以及人诱导多能细胞来源的内皮细胞和间充质细胞,部分重现了TME,包括异质性癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAF)。我们还描述了分析FPCO特征的程序。FPCO可为建立可靠的药物筛选系统提供一个平台。有关本方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考Takeuchi等人的研究。
