Feline colorectal adenocarcinoma (FCC) is a locally invasive, highly metastatic malignant gastrointestinal tumor of colon or rectal mucosa in cats. When detected early, surgical resection may provide a promising prognosis. However, no clinical symptoms are observed in the early stages, and distant metastases or peritoneal dissemination are often already present at diagnosis. Therefore, after removal of the primary lesion, follow-up systemic therapy using anticancer drugs is required. However, the drugs currently used for FCC are not sufficiently effective in improving the prognosis, and it is necessary to develop novel and relevant preclinical models that accurately represent the disease. In this study, we developed three-dimensional culture models (organoids) from four FCC cases and examined their histopathological characteristics and drug-sensitivity profiles. FCC organoids were successfully generated and recapitulated the histological structure of the original tumor tissues. Furthermore, the FCC organoids expressed common markers (CK20 and CDX2) of FCC and exhibited tumorigenesis in vivo in mice. Cell viability assay showed that the FCC organoid lines exhibited different sensitivities to carboplatin, doxorubicin, and toceranib. Interestingly, the response of FCC organoids to toceranib varied among the lines and correlated well with the expression level of VEGFR-2, one of the target molecules of toceranib. These results suggested that FCC organoids can be used as preclinical models to advance molecular and therapeutic FCC research.
猫结肠直肠癌(FCC)是猫结肠或直肠黏膜的一种局部浸润、高转移性恶性胃肠道肿瘤。早期检测到的话,手术切除可能带来良好的预后。然而,早期阶段没有临床症状,且在诊断时往往已经存在远处转移或腹膜播散。因此,在切除原发性病变后,需要使用抗癌药物进行后续的全身治疗。然而,目前用于FCC的药物在改善预后方面效果并不充分,有必要开发能够准确模拟该疾病的新型相关临床前模型。在本研究中,我们从4例FCC病例中构建了三维培养模型(类器官),并研究了它们的组织病理学特征和药物敏感性谱。成功构建了FCC类器官,并重现了原始肿瘤组织的组织结构。此外,FCC类器官表达了FCC的常见标志物(CK20和CDX2),并在小鼠体内表现出肿瘤发生能力。细胞活力测定表明,FCC类器官系对卡铂、多柔比星和托西替尼表现出不同的敏感性。有趣的是,FCC类器官对托西替尼的反应在不同系之间存在差异,且与托西替尼的靶分子之一VEGFR-2的表达水平密切相关。这些结果表明,FCC类器官可用作临床前模型,以推进FCC的分子和治疗研究。
