Problems solved by technology

However, as a method for evaluating the drug efficacy of angiogenesis inhibitor combination therapy, at present, animal models such as mice or human evaluation methods are generally used, and there are no reports of examples of evaluation in vitro (for example, see Patent Document 3, Non-Patent Document 3, and Non-Patent Document 4)

Embodiment 1

[0137] [Example 1] Fabrication of a cell structure having a vascular structure

[0138] Fabricate a cell structure composed of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells and have a vascular network structure, and observe the vascular network structure.

[0139] As the cell structure including the vascular network structure, human neonatal skin fibroblasts (manufactured by Lonza, CC-2509, Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts: NHDF), human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells (manufactured by Lonza, CC-2509) were used. 2517A, Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell: HUVEC) A cell structure formed by two types of cells. In addition, as a cell culture container, a Transwell insert cell culture device (manufactured by Corning, product number: #3470) was used, and as a medium, a 10% by volume bovine serum (manufactured by System Biosciences, EXO-FBS-50A-1) was used. D-MEM (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., product number: 043-30085) and 1% by volume of penicillin / strep...

Embodiment 2

[0148] The anticancer effect of the anticancer agent doxorubicin was evaluated using a cell structure composed of fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and cancer cells and having a vascular network structure.

[0149] As a cell structure containing cancer cells and a vascular network structure, human neonatal skin fibroblasts (Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts: NHDF) (Lonza, CC-2509) and human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells (Lonza , CC-2517A, HUVEC) (Lonza Corporation, CC-2517), the top surface of the cell structure formed by the two types of cells formed by the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line HT29 (ATCC code: HTB-38TM) Cell structure of cancer cell layer. In addition, as a cell culture vessel, a Transwell insert cell culture device (manufactured by Corning, product number: #3470) was used, and as a medium, a 10% by volume bovine serum (manufactured by Corning, product number: #35-010- CV) and D-MEM (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., prod...

Embodiment 3

[0169] The anticancer effect of the anticancer agent doxorubicin was evaluated using a cell structure in which the vascular network structure was formed in layers and a cell structure in which the vascular network structure was similarly dispersed throughout the structure.

[0170] The cell culture vessel, medium, and doxorubicin were the same as those used in Example 2.

[0171]

[0172] Will 2×10 6 NHDF and 3×10 4 A cell structure was constructed in the same manner as in Example 2, except that each HUVEC was suspended in Tris-HCl buffer containing heparin and collagen. The obtained cell structure is a cell structure in which a cancer cell layer is laminated on a layer in which the vascular network structure is dispersed throughout the structure (mixed layer (21 layers) of NHDF (20 layers) and HUVEC (1 layer)-HT29 (1 story)).

[0173]

[0174] First, the 1×10 6 Each NHDF was suspended in a Tris-HCl buffer containing heparin and collagen (0.1 mg / mL heparin, 0.1 mg / mL c...

Abstract

This anti-cancer drug assessment method involves: a culturing step for culturing a cell structure containing cells which constitute cancer cells and stromal tissue while in the presence of one or moretypes of anti-cancer drug; and an assessment step for assessing the anti-cancer effect of the anti-cancer drug, with the indicator thereof being the viable cell count of the cancer cells in the cellstructure following the culturing step.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for more reliably evaluating the anticancer effect of an anticancer agent in an in vitro system without using an animal model. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for evaluating the anticancer effect of an anticancer agent in an in vitro system without using an animal model. A method for evaluating with high precision whether or not an anticancer effect higher when an angiogenesis inhibitor is used in combination with an anticancer agent is obtained than when an anticancer agent is used alone. [0002] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-083948 filed in Japan on April 19, 2016, Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-083950 filed in Japan on April 19, 2016, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-083950 filed in Japan on April 19, 2016. Priority is claimed by Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-083951, and the contents thereof are incorporated in this application. ...
