Organoids are multicellular organ models that are self-organized and derived from stem cells or primary tissues in specific three-dimensional (3D) environments. Cancer patient-derived organoids (CPDOs) retain key characteristics of the original tumor, including genomic, epigenetic, and metabolic profiles, while accurately recapitulating the human tumor microenvironment (TME) - closely mirroring features observed in patient tumors. Compared to traditional cell lines and animal models, CPDOs offer significant advantages, making them increasingly valuable for cancer research and precision medicine. Meanwhile, natural products (NPs) remain a rich and pharmacologically promising source of anticancer drug candidates. In this review, we systematically summarized the important applications of different CPDOs in the efficacy evaluation, drug screening, and mechanism studies of NPs. Moreover, we also discussed the advantages, limitations, and future perspectives of CPDOs, proving valuable insights for researchers and clinicians in this field.
类器官是多细胞器官模型,在特定的三维(3D)环境中自组织并源自干细胞或原代组织。癌症患者来源的类器官(CPDO)保留了原始肿瘤的关键特征,包括基因组、表观遗传和代谢谱,同时准确地重现了人类肿瘤微环境(TME)——紧密反映患者肿瘤中观察到的特征。与传统细胞系和动物模型相比,CPDO具有显著优势,使其在癌症研究和精准医学中越来越有价值。同时,天然产物(NPs)仍然是抗癌候选药物的丰富且具有药理学前景的来源。在这篇综述中,我们系统地总结了不同CPDO在NPs疗效评估、药物筛选和机制研究中的重要应用。此外,我们还讨论了CPDO的优势、局限性和未来前景,为该领域的研究人员和临床医生提供了有价值的见解。
