Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture, and in particular to a gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution and a use method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a common soft tissue sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract. It is believed to originate from interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) or multipotent stem cells that differentiate into Cajal cells, which are responsible for pacemaking and mediating neurotransmission in the gastrointestinal tract. Its tumor tissue is mainly composed of varying numbers of spindle cells or epithelial-like cells, and immunohistochemistry often shows positive results for CD117, DOG-1, and CD34. Molecular genetic correlation studies of gastrointestinal stromal tumors have shown that more than 85-90% of patients have acquired type III receptor tyrosine kinase mutations (C-KIT or PDGFRA mutations), and 10-15% of KIT and PDGFRA wild-type patients mainly have RAS-related pathway gene mutations and succinate dehydrogenase SDH, neurofibromatosis type 1 NF1 gene function loss, etc. (Kelly et al., 2021).

[0003] Gastrointestinal stromal tumors can occur in any part of the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, duodenum, esophagus, and mesentery, and often metastasize to adjacent tissues and organs such as the abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity, and liver. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as abdominal distension, hematemesis, and black stools may occur. According to statistics worldwide, the incidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumors is 10-15 people per 1 million. For patients who can undergo radical resection, the 5-year survival rate after surgery is 54%. For patients with adjuvant therapy and recurrence and metastasis, the median survival is only 29 months (Soreide et al., 2016, DeMatteo et al., 2000). Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are insensitive to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although the development of drugs such as Gleevec has effectively extended the survival of patients, the heterogeneity between individuals makes it difficult for current treatments to benefit all patients. It is urgent to find a drug model with high clinical relevance to guide patients in personalized treatment and improve their prognosis.

[0004] Organoids are 3D cell complexes in vitro that are spontaneously assembled by stem cells and can reproduce some of the structures and physiological functions of organs. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are mini tumors formed by in vitro three-dimensional culture of tumor tissues obtained from patients through surgery or biopsy. They have the characteristics of highly restoring the histological heterogeneity and genetic map of the original tumor, and can be amplified for a long time and maintain genome stability. They have been verified as drug screening models and disease research models for precision medicine in culture systems of multiple cancer subtypes. However, there are few reports on gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture media and culture methods. In view of this, it is necessary to develop effective methods for constructing gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids in vitro to make up for the shortcomings of existing technologies and meet the needs of basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

[0014] The method for culturing gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids using the above-mentioned gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium comprises the following steps:

[0015] S1. Obtain the gastrointestinal stromal tumor tissue to be cultured, rinse it with pre-cooled DPBS buffer, and evenly cut it into 1-3 mm 3 Size of tissue blocks;

[0016] S2, adding tissue digestion solution, and digesting the gastrointestinal stromal tumor tissue block obtained in step S1 at 37° C. and 100 rpm in a constant temperature shaker; the tissue digestion solution comprises 1 mg / mL type II collagenase, 20 μg / mL hyaluronidase, 0.5 mg / mL dispase, and 0.5 mM dithiothreitol;

[0017] S3. Real-time monitoring of the digestion status. When a large number of dissociated cell clusters can be observed under a microscope in the digestion supernatant, an equal volume of culture medium containing 5% FBS is added to terminate the digestion, and the supernatant is discarded by centrifugation to obtain a cell pellet.

[0018] S4. Resuspend the cell pellet with fresh gastrointestinal stromal tumor culture medium, filter and collect the cell suspension using a 100 μm cell sieve, and centrifuge again to remove the supernatant;

[0021] S7. After the gel drop solidifies, carefully add 500 μL of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium along the wall of the hole, return to the cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 concentration, and replace the culture medium every 3 to 4 days.

[0022] A use of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium as described above in organoid culture.

[0023] StemPro MSC SFM medium (purchased from Gibco) is a serum-free human mesenchymal stem cell culture medium that can promote the growth and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells and maintain their differentiation potential.

[0024] L-alanyl-L-glutamine, N-acetylcysteine, nicotinamide, B27, N2, MEM-NEAA, and sodium pyruvate are all nutritional additives for culture medium. Among them, L-alanyl-L-glutamine can be used as a nitrogen source to support the synthesis of a large amount of proteins and nucleic acids and maintain cell growth. Nicotinamide is a B3 vitamin that participates in a variety of enzymatic redox reactions, promotes energy metabolism, and accelerates the formation of organoids. N-acetylcysteine, as an antioxidant, can remove ROS in cells and inhibit cell apoptosis. MEM-NEAA solution contains a variety of non-essential amino acids such as glycine, proline, and L-aspartic acid. As a nutritional additive, it can effectively improve the ratio of cell culture medium and reduce the anabolism burden of mesenchymal cells. B27 additives and N2 additives contain a variety of nutrients such as human transferrin, insulin, progesterone, sodium selenite, putrescine, etc., which can be used as substitutes for serum for serum-free culture of organoids. Pyruvate is an intermediate metabolite of glycolysis. It can generate acetyl-CoA through the pyruvate dehydrogenase system and enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle. As a precursor for succinate synthesis, in SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the addition of pyruvate helps to increase the accumulation of succinate in tumor cells.

[0025] Both stem cell factor (SCF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-AA) belong to the platelet-derived growth factor family. As ligands, they can bind to their respective type III receptor tyrosine kinases C-Kit and PDGFR, induce autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the transmembrane segment, and activate downstream signaling pathways such as SRC, Ras-Raf-Erk, and PLC-γ. The activation of SCF / C-Kit and PDGF / PDGFR signals plays an important role in the phenotypic maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation of gastrointestinal stromal tumor cells and their precursors, interstitial cells of Cajal.

[0026] Fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF-4) is a heparin-binding growth factor that can bind to the receptor tyrosine kinase FGFR1C as a ligand, initiate downstream signals, and promote the proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells. It has been reported that extensive overexpression and sustained activation of FGF4 signals can be found in both SDH-deficient GIST and quadruple wild-type GIST tumor cells (Flavahan et al., 2019, Urbini et al., 2019).

[0027] Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), also known as somatomedin C, is a mitogenic polypeptide growth hormone with a tertiary structure similar to insulin. It can bind to insulin receptor IR and insulin-like growth factor receptor IGFR, phosphorylate IRS, CRK, SHC and other proteins to activate PI3K / Akt, MAPK and other downstream pathways, improve the uptake of nutrients by gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids, promote cell proliferation, accelerate cell cycle and inhibit apoptosis, and increase the volume and survival rate of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids.

[0028] Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a ligand of the receptor tyrosine kinase C-MET expressed by mesenchymal cells. HGF / C-MET signaling activation can coordinate cell migration, proliferation, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and other cellular processes, and enhance GIST cell viability. Compensatory activation of C-MET signaling is common in most imatinib-resistant GIST patients (Cohen et al., 2015, Mahadevan et al., 2015).

[0029] Wnt CM is a conditioned medium containing Wnt3a protein activity obtained by fermentation of L-Wnt 3A cell line, which can activate the Wnt / β-Catenin pathway to maintain the stemness of tumor cells. R-spondin, as a ligand of LGR4-6 receptor, can act as an agonist of Wnt signaling to enhance the signal transduction of β-catenin, allowing organoids to be cultured stably for a long time.

[0030] Forskolin is an effective adenylate cyclase activator that can increase the concentration of the second messenger cAMP in cells and enhance the conduction of cell signals.

[0031] Y-27632 is a small molecule inhibitor of the Rho-associated protein kinase p160ROCK. It can target and bind to the catalytic sites of ROCK-1 and ROCK-2, inhibit cell anoikis, and induce pluripotent stem cells to selectively differentiate into mesenchymal cell lineages through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

[0032] ML-098 is a small molecule agonist of Ras and related binding protein Rab. The present invention adds ML-098 to the culture medium, which can enhance the upstream activated RTK-RAS signal by increasing the affinity of GTPase protein in tumor cells to guanine nucleotides, thereby promoting the growth and self-assembly of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids.

[0033] MHY1485 is an mTOR activator with a morpholinotriazine structure, which can phosphorylate the ser2448 site of mTOR to activate the mTOR protein and its downstream protein ribosomal S6K1 and cellular translation initiation factor 4EP1, thereby enhancing cellular protein synthesis and translation and glycolysis metabolism, and promoting further growth of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids. Studies have found that the activation of mTOR signaling can be detected in metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors and KIT inhibitor-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Duan et al., 2020, Li et al., 2015).

[0034] Therefore, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium and its use method and application provided by the present invention have the following specific technical effects:

[0035] (1) Gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids can be obtained by in vitro culture using the culture medium and culture method provided by the present invention, which can retain the histological characteristics and genetic heterogeneity of the patient's original tumor and can be used as a drug screening model and disease research model for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, thereby promoting the advancement of precision medicine for tumors;

[0036] (2) The gastrointestinal stromal tumor culture fluid of the present invention contains a variety of gastrointestinal stromal tumor-specific cytokines, the synergistic effect of which can activate gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell proliferation and survival-related pathways, maintain the self-renewal of tumor mesenchymal stem cells, increase the proliferation rate and cell viability of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids, and achieve long-term passage and expansion. Using the culture fluid and culture method of the present invention, gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids with a diameter of more than 100 μm and good activity can be obtained in 8 to 10 days;

[0037] (3) The gastrointestinal stromal tumor culture medium provided by the present invention is suitable for culturing gastrointestinal stromal tumors with type III receptor tyrosine kinase mutations, and is also suitable for culturing wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors such as SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors;

After 4 days of culture after subculture, the diameter can reach 125-150 μm.

[0087] Example 5

[0088] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained in Example 1 were subjected to immunohistochemical identification. After the organoids obtained in Example 1 were embedded and sliced, H&E staining and IHC staining of CD117 and DOG-1 were performed. The specific steps are as follows:

[0089] (1) Collection and fixation of organoids: Organoids were recovered from the matrix gel using the method of steps (1) to (4) of Example 4 using organoid recovery solution (Corning Cat#354253), fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 1 h, and centrifuged at 4°C and 250 g for 5 min to remove the fixative. 1 mL of PBS buffer was added to rinse the organoid pellet three times. The centrifugation step was repeated, the supernatant was removed, and the organoid pellet was retained.

[0090] (2) Agarose embedding of organoids: Heat 3% agarose gel in a microwave oven until it is completely melted. When the agarose solution cools to 55-60°C, add 200 μL of agarose solution to resuspend the organoid pellet, transfer it to a 200 μL mold, and place it on ice for 30 min to solidify.

[0091] (3) Dehydration and permeabilization: Take out the solidified agarose block containing the organoid precipitate and place it in a dehydration box. Then place the dehydration box in a dehydrator and perform gradient alcohol dehydration in sequence. After dehydration, transfer the agarose block to a tissue embedding box and treat it with anhydrous ethanol and xylene mixture (anhydrous ethanol: xylene volume ratio is 1:1) for 10 minutes, then move it to xylene for treatment twice, each time for 10 minutes.

[0092] (4) Paraffin embedding: After permeabilization, transfer the agar block immediately into a melted wax tank and immerse it in wax at 60°C for 3 times, each time for 1 hour. Wrap the organoids with an embedding mold and prepare and trim the wax block.

[0093] (5) Dewaxing of sections: Fix the embedded wax block on the microtome, cut into thin slices of 5-7 μm thickness, flatten in a water bath and place on a glass slide. Place the sections in xylene for 12 min, xylene for 12 min, anhydrous ethanol for 6 min, 95% ethanol for 6 min, and 85% ethanol for 6 min, and rinse with distilled water to complete dewaxing.

[0094] (6) H&E staining: stain with hematoxylin for 6 min, wash with distilled water for 1 min, then place in 1% hydrochloric acid alcohol for differentiation for 2 s, then rinse with distilled water for 30 min, then stain with 1% eosin for 2 min, dehydrate and seal.

[0095] (7) Antigen retrieval: Place the tissue sections in a retrieval box filled with TRIS-EDTA retrieval solution or citrate buffer (pH 6.0) and cook in a microwave oven for antigen retrieval.

[0096] (8) Blocking endogenous peroxidase: Add 3% hydrogen peroxide to the sections and incubate at room temperature for 25 min. Place the slides in PBS buffer and wash them three times on a decolorizing shaker for 5 min each time.

[0097] (9) Serum blocking: Wipe the slide clean, add PBS buffer containing 5% serum (the serum must be of the same species as the secondary antibody) to evenly cover the tissue, and block at room temperature for 1 h.

[0098] (10) Antibody incubation: Remove the blocking solution with absorbent paper, add enough primary antibody to cover the tissue, and incubate it flat in a humidified chamber at 4°C overnight. After incubation, place the slide in PBS buffer and wash it on a decolorizing shaker three times, 5 minutes each time. After removing the blocking solution with absorbent paper, add the corresponding secondary antibody to cover the tissue and incubate it at room temperature for 50 minutes.

[0099] (11) DAB color development: Place the slide in PBS buffer and shake on a decolorizing shaker for three times, 5 minutes each time. After absorbing the water with absorbent paper, add freshly prepared DAB color development solution and incubate at room temperature in a dark environment for 15 to 20 minutes. Monitor and control the color development time in real time under a microscope. When a brown-yellow positive reaction is observed, rinse the slide with pure water to stop the color development.

[0100] (12) Counterstaining of cell nuclei: stain with hematoxylin for 3 min, rinse with pure water, differentiate with differentiation solution for 2 s, rinse with tap water, blue with bluing solution for 30 s, rinse with running water, dehydrate and seal the slide.

[0101] The primary antibodies and dilution factors used in this example are as follows:

[0102] Rabbit anti-human CD117 antibody (MXB Cat#kit-0029) ready to use;

[0103] Rabbit anti-human DOG-1 antibody (Prosci Cat# PSI-33-698) is ready to use.

[0104] The secondary antibodies and dilution factors used in this example are as follows:

[0105] Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, HRP (Thermofisher, Cat#21234), dilution factor 1:500.

[0106] Microscope photos of slices Figure 5 As shown, the cell morphology of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids is mostly spindle-shaped or epithelial-like, and both CD117 and DOG-1 markers are positively expressed. CD117 and DOG-1 are often used in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors in clinical practice. The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in this example meet the histochemical characteristics of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

[0107] Example 6

[0108] The embedded sections of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained in Example 5 were subjected to immunofluorescence identification, and the specific steps were as follows:

[0109] (1) Incubate the embedded sections of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids with primary antibodies, with the same specific steps as in Example 5.

[0110] (2) Secondary antibody incubation: Place the incubated slides in PBS buffer and wash on a decolorizing shaker for 3 times, 5 minutes each time. After blotting with absorbent paper, add HRP-labeled fluorescent secondary antibody and incubate at room temperature for 50 minutes.

[0111] (3) Signal amplification: Wash and clean the slides, add the corresponding color fluorescent reagent and TSA fluorescent signal enhancer according to the instructions attached to the fluorescent signal amplification kit, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes.

[0112] (4) DAPI counterstaining: Wash and clean the slides, add 2 μg / mL DAPI staining solution to counterstain the cell nuclei, and incubate at room temperature for 10 min in the dark.

[0113] (5) Sealing and photographing: Wash the slides three times on a decolorizing shaker. After the slides are dried, seal them with anti-fluorescence quenching sealing agent. Observe and collect images using an inverted fluorescence microscope. The red fluorescent area indicates CD117 positive expression.

[0114] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the CD117 immunofluorescence marker of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids was positively expressed, indicating that the cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids had the histochemical characteristics of the original tumor organoids.

[0115] Example 7

[0116] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids subcultured in Example 4 were tested for regorafenib drug sensitivity, and the specific steps were as follows:

[0117] (1) Select several wells of organoids that have grown well after subculturing (organoids with complete morphology and structure, total number ≥ 500), add organoid recovery solution, and centrifuge to remove the matrix gel.

[0118] (2) Add 400 μL of TrypLE enzymatic solution to the centrifuge tube, mechanically blow up the suspension 20 to 30 times with a wide-mouth pipette tip, and incubate in a 37°C incubator for 5 min to ensure that the organoids are re-digested into numerous evenly dispersed organoid clusters. Add an equal volume of organoid culture medium containing 5% FBS to terminate digestion, centrifuge, and remove the supernatant.

[0119] (3) Calculate the total volume of culture medium required for organoid drug sensitivity plating (set up 3 parallel wells for each concentration, and 90 μL of organoid suspension in each well), add sufficient volume of gastric cancer organoid culture medium containing 10% (vol / vol) matrix gel to resuspend and thoroughly mix the organoids.

[0120] (4) According to the settings of the drug sensitivity test, the organoid suspension was inoculated into a 384-well ultra-low adsorption cell culture plate and cultured in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.

[0121] (5) Monitor the growth of organoids in real time. If the organoids have good morphology and an average diameter greater than 50 μM 3 days after plating, add the prepared 10× regorafenib drug stock solution at a ratio of 1:9, so that the concentration of regorafenib in each concentration gradient culture well is 0.123 μM, 0.37 μM, 1.11 μM, 3.33 μM, and 10 μM. After adding the drug, place the 384-well plate in a CO2 incubator for continued culture.

[0122] (6) 96 h after drug addition, the 384-well plate was removed and the cell viability of organoids at each drug sensitivity concentration was measured using a multifunctional microplate reader according to the instructions of the CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay Kit.

[0123] (7) Use Graphpad 8.0 software to draw the dose-effect curve and calculate the IC 50 .

[0124] Fig.11 A shows the morphological changes of the constructed gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids under the treatment of different concentrations of regorafenib. Fig.11 A shows that at the regorafenib treatment concentration of 0.123-1.11 μM, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids showed no obvious morphological changes; at the regorafenib treatment concentrations of 3.33 μM and 10 μM, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids showed only slight shrinkage or dispersion, indicating that the patient's organoid samples had a certain degree of resistance to regorafenib, which was consistent with the trend of the dose-effect curve of regorafenib. The half-inhibitory concentration of the patient's gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids to regorafenib was 3.758 μM.

[0130] Comparative Example 2

[0131] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium is prepared and the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid is cultured using the culture medium. The specific steps are as follows:

[0132] Prepare 500 mL Advanced DMEM / F12 medium, add 100 mL StemPro MSC SFM medium, 300 mL Wnt conditioned medium, 20 mL B27 supplement, 10 mL N2 supplement, 10 mL MEM-NEAA solution, 10 mL L-alanyl-L-glutamine stock solution, 10 mL N-acetylcysteine ​​stock solution, 10 mL nicotinamide stock solution, 5 mL HEPES buffer stock solution, 1 mL sodium pyruvate stock solution, 1 mL forskolin stock solution, 1 mL EGF stock solution, 1 mL FGF4 stock solution, 1 mL L IGF-1 stock solution, 1 mL R-spondin stock solution, 1 mL A-8301 stock solution, 1 mL L-27632 stock solution, 2 mL primary antibiotic primocin stock solution, 10 mL penicillin-streptomycin dual antibody stock solution, 1 mL amphotericin B stock solution, mix well and use Advanced DMEM / F12 medium was diluted to 1L, and then filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane in a clean bench.

[0133] The concentration of the component stock solution used in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium of this comparative example is the same as that in Example 1. Compared with the culture medium of Example 1, HGF, SCF, PDGF-AA, ML-098, and MHY1485 are subtracted.

[0134] (2) The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were cultured using the culture method described in step S1.2 of Example 1. The cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were photographed using an inverted microscope on the 4th and 8th days of culture. The photographs are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the organoids cultured in this comparative example grew slowly and had poor activity. The size of the organoids was significantly smaller than that of Example 1, with a diameter of 50 to 75 μm.

[0135] Comparative Example 3

[0136] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium is prepared and the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid is cultured using the culture medium. The specific steps are as follows:

[0137] (1) Preparation of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium

[0138] Prepare 500 mL Advanced DMEM / F12 medium, add 100 mL StemPro MSC SFM medium, 300 mL Wnt conditioned medium, 20 mL B27 supplement, 10 mL N2 supplement, 10 mL MEM-NEAA solution, 10 mL L-alanyl-L-glutamine stock solution, 10 mL N-acetylcysteine ​​stock solution, 10 mL nicotinamide stock solution, 5 mL HEPES buffer stock solution, 1 mL sodium pyruvate stock solution, 1 mL forskolin stock solution, 1 mL EGF stock solution, 1 mL FGF4 stock solution, 1 mL HGF stock solution, 1 mL L IGF-1 stock solution, 1 mL SCF stock solution, 1 mL PDGF-AA stock solution, 1 mL R-spondin stock solution, 1mL A-8301 stock solution, 1mL Y-27632 stock solution, 2mL primary antibiotic primocin stock solution, 10mL penicillin-streptomycin dual antibody stock solution, 1mL amphotericin B stock solution, stir and mix well, then dilute to 1L with Advanced DMEM / F12 culture medium, and then filter through a 0.22μm filter membrane in a clean bench.

[0139] The concentration of the component stock solutions used in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium of this comparative example is the same as that in Example 1. Compared with the culture medium of Example 1, ML-098 and MHY1485 are not added.

[0140] (2) The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were cultured using the culture method described in step S1.2 of Example 1. The cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were photographed using an inverted microscope on the 4th and 8th days of culture. The photographs are as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in this comparative example grew slowly, and the size of the organoids was smaller than that of Example 1, with a diameter of about 75 to 100 μm, but the cells had good cohesion and clear boundaries.

[0141] Example 8

[0142] The activities of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were investigated respectively, and the specific methods were as follows:

[0143] For the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, respectively, on the 4th day of incubation in a cell culture incubator, a portion was taken and the cell viability of the organoids was measured using the Cell-tiler glo kit according to the attached instructions.

[0144] The results are as follows Fig.10As shown, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 had the highest cell viability, with a cell viability reading of 963±62 and a relative cell viability of 100±6.44%, followed by the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 3, with a cell viability reading of 641±41 and a relative cell viability of 69.78±6.34%, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 1 had a cell viability reading of 95±8.49 and a relative cell viability of 10.63±1.46%, and the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 2 had a cell viability reading of 411±2.83 and a cell viability of 45.95±3.00%.

[0145] The following conclusions can be drawn from the inverted microscope photos of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3:

[0146] (1) The cell viability and organoid size of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 1 were significantly lower than those in the other groups, indicating that the culture medium for culturing gastric cancer organoids derived from gastric epithelium is not suitable for culturing gastrointestinal stromal tumors of non-epithelial origin.

[0147] (2) In Comparative Example 2, HGF, SCF, PDGF-AA, ML-098, and MHY1485 were not added to the culture medium. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the viability of cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid cells was improved, but still significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, indicating that the three cytokines HGF, SCF, and PDGF-AA and the two agonists play an important role in the proliferation and growth of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids.

[0148] (3) The organoids in Comparative Example 3 had clear morphological boundaries and good cell cohesion. The viability of the organoids was significantly improved compared with that in Comparative Example 2, which again demonstrated the growth-promoting effects of HGF, SCF, and PDGF-AA on gastrointestinal stromal tumors. However, since ML-098 and MHY1485 were not added, the cell viability was only 69.78% of that in Example 1, indicating that the synergistic effect of ML-098 and MHY1485 can further promote cell proliferation and growth.

[0149] Therefore, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained by in vitro culture using the culture medium and culture method provided by the present invention can retain the histological characteristics and genetic heterogeneity of the patient's original tumor, and can be used as a drug screening model and disease research model for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, thereby promoting the progress and development of tumor precision medicine; the cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids have a fast proliferation rate and a high cell viability, and can achieve long-term passage and expansion. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids with a diameter of more than 100 μm and good activity can be obtained in 8 to 10 days; they are also suitable for culturing wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors such as SDH-deficient ones; they do not contain components with unclear components such as serum, are not affected by different batches, and can maintain a high degree of uniformity during the culture process; they can be used to culture gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids derived from patient tumor tissues or malignant cell lines, and are suitable for drug sensitivity detection.

Add a small amount of organoid culture medium to resuspend the pellet, count the cells and concentrate by centrifugation to ensure that each 1 μL suspension contains 15,000 to 20,000 cell clusters; S6. The concentrated cell suspension was mixed evenly with matrix gel at a volume ratio of 1:4, inoculated into a 24-well plate in the form of small gel droplets, and placed in a cell culture incubator at 37°C for 0.5 h to allow the gel droplets to solidify; S7. After the gel drop solidifies, carefully add 500 μL of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium along the wall of the hole, return to the cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 concentration, and replace the culture medium every 3 to 4 days.

10. Use of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium according to any one of claims 1 to 8 in organoid culture.
