Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a culture medium for constructing a microtumor model of gastric cancer metastasis to the ovary and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with a leading incidence and mortality rate worldwide. Early diagnosis of GC is low, and most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Ovarian metastasis is one of the most common forms of distant metastasis in GC, occurring in approximately 5%-15% of female patients with advanced GC, clinically most commonly as Krukenberg tumor. Krukenberg tumors are typically characterized by high malignancy, bilateral multiple lesions, a tendency to be accompanied by diffuse peritoneal seeding, and massive malignant ascites. They also respond poorly to traditional systemic chemotherapy, and the median survival is usually less than one year.
[0003] In recent years, 3D in vitro culture technologies, represented by microtumors (PTCs) and organoids, have shown great potential in personalized precision medicine for tumors. By collecting diseased tissue from patients and culturing it in vitro in three dimensions, models reflecting the heterogeneity and pathological characteristics of in situ tumors can be constructed, which can be used for preclinical drug sensitivity testing, drug screening, and basic scientific research. However, existing culture methods are mainly aimed at primary solid tumors of gastric cancer or general gynecological tumors, and have significant limitations in constructing gastric cancer ovarian metastasis models: the high heterogeneity of the microenvironment. Although Kukenberg tumors originate in the gastrointestinal tract, they undergo significant "niche adaptation" during ovarian growth. The ovarian microenvironment is rich in estrogen, progesterone, and high levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which induce extremely severe stromal fibrosis (Desmoplasia). It is generally believed in the field that gastric cancer is a hormone-independent tumor; therefore, existing culture media do not contain estrogen / progesterone. This leads to rapid phenotypic drift (such as loss of signet ring cell characteristics) or decreased viability of metastatic cells during in vitro culture due to the lack of key microenvironmental signals. Currently, neither the general culture medium for gastric cancer nor the culture medium for gynecological tumor microtumor models takes into account the specific microenvironmental requirements of gastric cancer ovarian metastases. The general gastric cancer microtumor culture medium does not contain the characteristic hormone signals of the ovarian microenvironment, while the general gynecological tumor microtumor culture medium lacks specific adaptation to gastric tumor cells. When directly used for modeling gastric cancer ovarian metastases (such as Kukenberg tumor), it is difficult to obtain a stable and efficient microtumor model.
[0004] Therefore, given the unique biological characteristics of gastric cancer ovarian metastases, it is crucial to develop a specialized culture medium and construction method that can simulate the ovarian microenvironment and meet the growth requirements of metastatic cells. This would significantly improve the success rate of constructing a gastric cancer ovarian metastatic microtumor model and has significant clinical value and scientific research significance for conducting drug sensitivity screening and personalized treatment research on advanced gastric cancer metastases. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention provides a culture technique and supporting reagents for constructing a gastric cancer-ovarian metastasis microtumor model. The core of this technique is: (1) Gastric cancer ovarian metastasis tissue samples were treated with mild cell dissociation reagent, and the culture medium group ratio was adjusted according to the special microenvironment characteristics based on their characteristics (such as the characteristics of Kukenberg tumor) to maximize the success rate of culture.
[0006] (2) A special serum-free culture medium was prepared to better match the clinical microenvironment characteristics of "ovarian metastasis".

[0134] Example 2: Obtaining surgical specimens of primary gastric cancer and ovarian transplant samples 1. We collaborate with top-tier hospitals to obtain samples through researcher-initiated clinical research, and the collaboration has undergone formal medical ethics review.
[0135] 2. The attending physician selected patients for enrollment according to the clinical indications specified in the medical guidelines, and selected appropriate samples for in vitro culture based on intraoperative clinical indications. The sample selection criteria were: primary gastric cancer with ovarian metastases, clinically diagnosed as Kukenberg tumor. For patients who underwent simultaneous resection of the primary tumor and ovarian metastases during surgery, the primary lesion tissue sample exceeded 20 mg, and the ovarian metastasis tissue sample exceeded 5 mg.
[0136] 3. All enrolled cases are uniformly coded using the format of sample collection date + the last four digits of the patient's hospital number. For example, a sample submitted on January 1, 2020, with patient hospital number T001537474, would have a sample experiment number of 202001017474. The attending physician provides basic clinical information such as the patient's gender, age, medical history, family history, smoking history, pathological stage and type, and clinical diagnosis.
[0137] 4. After the tumor tissue is removed during surgery, a sample collection specialist collects fresh specimens in a sterile environment in the operating room. Samples should be collected from areas rich in fresh blood vessels, avoiding areas with poor cell viability such as necrotic tissue, adipose tissue, and fibrotic tissue. The collected samples are placed in a pre-cooled sample preservation solution (see Example 1) at 4°C. The sample preservation tube containing the sample is temporarily stored on ice and transported to the laboratory within 12 hours for further processing, with the temperature controlled between 2-8°C during transport.
[0138] Example 3: Pretreatment of tissue samples before dissociation The following operations must be performed on ice, and the entire operation must be completed within 10 minutes.
[0139] All surgical instruments used in the following procedures must be sterilized by high-temperature steam (120°C, 20 minutes) and dried before use.
[0140] 1. After weighing the sample, clean the sample surface with medical alcohol (75% by volume) for 10 to 30 seconds.
[0141] 2. Wash the sample 5 times with sample cleaning solution, and then wash the sample 5 times with sterile PBS solution.
[0142] 3. Using ophthalmic scissors, ophthalmic forceps, scalpels, and other instruments, carefully remove the adipose tissue, connective tissue, and necrotic tissue from the sample.
[0143] Example 4: Dissociation of Tissue Samples All surgical instruments used in the following examples must be sterilized by high-temperature steam (120°C, 20 minutes) and dried before use.
[0144] 1. Use ophthalmic scissors to cut the tissue into 0.5mm pieces. 3 Small pieces on the left and right.
[0145] 2. Treat the tissue with the sample dissociation solution (see Example 1). For tissue samples no larger than 0.5 mg, use 1 mL of sample dissociation solution. For tissue samples larger than 0.5 mg, add 0.1 mL of sample dissociation solution for every 0.1 mg increase in tissue weight. The sample dissociation solution treatment conditions are 37°C and the dissociation time is 1 hour. During the dissociation process, observe the sample dissociation under a microscope every 15 minutes until most cells are observed to have detached from the tissue.
[0146] 3. Terminate the dissociation reaction with 10 times the volume of digestion termination solution (see Example 1). After filtering the cell suspension through a 100μm sterile cell filter to remove tissue fragments and adherent cells, centrifuge at 800g at room temperature for 10 minutes and discard the supernatant.
[0147] 4. Resuspend the cells in 5 mL of sterile PBS, centrifuge at 800 g for 10 minutes at room temperature, and discard the supernatant.
[0148] 5. Resuspend the cell pellet in the gastric cancer-ovarian metastasis microtumor model culture medium (see Example 1), count the cells, and determine the cell viability by trypan blue staining. Cells with a viability greater than 70% can be seeded and cultured.
[0149] Example 5: Culture of a microtumor model 1. A low-attachment-surface was used for suspension culture of a gastric cancer-ovarian metastasis microtumor model. The culture medium used was the same as that used in Table 8 of Example 1 for culturing the gastric cancer-ovarian metastasis microtumor model (wherein, the final concentration of HEPES was 10 mM; the final concentration of GlutaMax was 1% v / mL; the final concentration of human recombinant protein EGF was 50 ng / mL; the final concentration of human recombinant protein bFGF was 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of human recombinant protein HGF was 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of human recombinant protein FGF-10 was 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of Wnt-3a was 250 ng / mL; the final concentration of human recombinant protein Noggin was 100 ng / mL; and the final concentration of human recombinant protein R-spondin was 100 ng / mL). The final concentration of 1 is 400 ng / mL; the final concentration of the recombinant human protein Follistatin is 150 ng / mL; the final concentration of CHIR99021 is 3 μM; the final concentration of SB202190 is 10 μM; the final concentration of A83-01 is 1 μM; the final concentration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine is 1.5 mM; the final concentration of Nicotinamide is 10 mM; the final concentration of Cholera Toxin is 1 nM; the final concentration of Y-27632 is 10 μM; the final concentration of Gastrino is 10 nM; the final concentration of PGE2 is 0.5 μM; the final concentration of β-estradiol is 5 nM; the final concentration of progesterone is 50 nM; and the final concentration of Galunisertib is 0.1 μM. Taking a six-well plate as an example, 10 [units of solution] per well are used. 6 Cells were seeded at a density of 1000 cells / well, with 2-3 mL of culture medium per well. After seeding, the cells were cultured in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.
[0150] 2. Observe the cell status daily until the cells form clumps with a diameter of about 100μm. After that, change the culture medium every 2-3 days to maintain the growth of microtumors.
[0151] like Figure 1 As shown, within the first 48 hours of culture, various cell types derived from cancer tissue spontaneously aggregated and self-assembled into cell clumps of 100 μm in size, which we call a microtumor model. The total number of microtumor cell clumps can reach 10. 5 -10 6 This method has been tested on a large number of samples, and the success rate of culturing microtumor models from different gastric cancer surgical samples (primary gastric cancer lesions and gastric cancer ovarian metastases) can reach 70%.
[0152] Example 6: Comparison of the ability of different culture media to form microtumor structures in primary gastric cancer lesions and ovarian metastases of gastric cancer. In this embodiment, the procedures for culturing the microtumor models for all samples were completely identical (as described above), with only the culture medium formulations differing. In addition to the culture medium shown in Table 8 of this invention (with the same formulation as in Example 5), the following three control culture media were used for comparative testing: (1) Control culture medium A: Table 9 in the specification of Chinese Patent 202111136701.4 (Invention title: A method for culturing gastric cancer microtumor cell model) (i.e. Table 31 below).
[0153]
[0154] The final concentration of the recombinant human protein EGF was 50 ng / mL; the final concentration of the recombinant human protein bFGF was 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of the recombinant human protein HGF was 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of the recombinant human protein FGF-10 was 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of the recombinant human protein Wnt-3a was 200 ng / mL; the final concentration of the recombinant human protein Noggin was 100 g / mL; and the final concentration of the recombinant human protein R-spondin was... The final concentration of 1 is 400 ng / mL; the final concentration of the human recombinant protein IL-2 is 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of the human recombinant protein IL-15 is 20 ng / mL; the final concentration of CHIR99021 is 3 μM; the final concentration of SB202190 is 10 μM; the final concentration of A83-01 is 1 μM; the final concentration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine is 1 mM; the final concentration of Nicotinamide is 10 mM; the final concentration of Cholera Toxin is 1 nM; the final concentration of Y-27632 is 10 μM; and the final concentration of Gastrino is 10 nM.
[0155] (2) Control culture medium B: 202410996481.X (Invention title: A culture medium and culture method for culturing a microtumor model of gastric cancer liver metastasis) is shown in Table 8 of the instruction manual (i.e. Table 32 below).
[0156]
[0157] The final concentrations of the recombinant human protein EGF were 50 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the recombinant human protein bFGF were 20 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the recombinant human protein HGF were 20 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the recombinant human protein Noggin were 100 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the recombinant human protein R-spondin 1 were 400 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the recombinant human protein FGF-10 were 20 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the recombinant human protein Wnt-3a were 200 ng / mL; the final concentrations of the SB202190 were 10 μM; the final concentrations of the CHIR99021 were 3 μM; the final concentrations of the A83-01 were 1 μM; the final concentrations of the N-acety-L-cysteine were 1 mM; the final concentrations of the Nicotinamide were 10 mM; and the final concentrations of the Cholera... The final concentration of Toxin was 0.5 nM; the final concentration of Y-27632 was 10 μM; and the final concentration of Gastrin was 10 nM.
[0158] (3) Control culture medium C: 202211316153.8 (Invention title: A method for culturing a gynecological tumor microtumor model and the culture medium used therein) is shown in Table 22 of the instruction manual (i.e. Table 33 below).
[0159]
[0160] The primary gastric cancer lesions and ovarian metastatic lesions of the same patient were cultured using the culture medium shown in Table 8 of this invention, as well as the three control culture media shown in Tables 31, 32, and 33 (see above for the specific procedure). The number and size of microtumors were observed, and the results are shown in Tables 34 and 35.
[0161] As can be seen from Table 34, when culturing primary gastric cancer samples, the control culture medium A in Table 31 has a higher success rate in microtumor culture, a greater number of cell clusters obtained, and a more stable size.
[0162]
[0163] As shown in Table 35, culturing ovarian metastatic lesions is more difficult than culturing primary gastric cancer lesions, especially control medium B. Although it is also a medium for metastatic lesions, its success rate is low, making it unsuitable for culturing microtumors of gastric cancer-ovarian metastases. Furthermore, gynecological tumor media are also unsuitable for culturing gastric cancer-ovarian metastases. The media in Table 8 of this invention exhibit higher success rates, better cell cluster numbers and sizes, and stronger overall culture stability in the culture of microtumors from gastric cancer-ovarian metastases.
[0164] The present invention has been described in detail above. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced in a wide range of ways with equivalent parameters, concentrations, and conditions without departing from its spirit and scope, and without requiring unnecessary experiments. While specific embodiments have been provided, it should be understood that further modifications can be made to the invention. In summary, according to the principles of the invention, this application is intended to include any changes, uses, or improvements to the invention, including changes made using conventional techniques known in the art that depart from the scope disclosed herein.
