Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture, in particular to a gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium and a use method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a common soft tissue sarcoma in the gastrointestinal tract, which is believed to originate from interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) responsible for pacing and mediating nerve transmission in the gastrointestinal tract or multipotent stem cells differentiated from Cajal cells. The tumor tissue is mainly composed of a certain number of spindle cells or epithelioid cells, and immunohistochemistry is commonly positive for CD117, DOG-1 and CD34. Molecular genetic studies of gastrointestinal stromal tumors show 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 are mainly RAS-related pathway gene mutations and function loss of succinate dehydrogenase SDH and neurofibromatosis type 1 NF1 gene (Kelly et al., 2021).
[0003] Gastrointestinal stromal tumor can occur in any part of the digestive system such as stomach, intestine, duodenum, esophagus and mesentery, and often metastasizes to adjacent tissues and organs such as abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity and liver. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and as the disease progresses, symptoms such as abdominal distension, vomiting of blood and melena may occur. According to the statistics worldwide, the incidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor is 10-15 per 1 million, and for patients who can undergo radical resection, the 5-year survival rate is 54%, and for patients with adjuvant therapy and recurrence and metastasis, the median survival period is only 29 months (Soreide et al., 2016, DeMatteo et al., 2000). Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is not sensitive to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, although the development of drugs such as Gleevec has effectively prolonged the survival period of patients, but the heterogeneity between individuals makes it difficult for current treatment methods to benefit all patients, and it is urgent to find a clinically relevant drug model to guide patients for individualized treatment and improve the prognosis of patients.
[0004] Organoid is a kind of 3D cell complex in vitro driven by stem cells and self-assembled, which can reproduce part of the structure and physiological function of the organ. Patient-derived organoid (PDO) is a kind of mini-tumor formed by three-dimensional culture of tumor tissue obtained from surgery or biopsy in vitro, which has the characteristics of high reduction of original tumor histological heterogeneity and genetic map, long-term expansion and maintenance of genomic stability. As a drug screening model and disease research model of precision medicine, it has been verified in the culture system of multiple cancer subtypes. However, there are few reports on gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium and culture method. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective method for constructing gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid in vitro, to make up for the shortcomings of the existing technology, and to meet the needs of gastrointestinal stromal tumor basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0014] The method for culturing gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids using the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution described above comprises the following steps:
[0015] S1, obtaining gastrointestinal stromal tumor tissue to be cultured, rinsing with pre-cooled DPBS buffer, and uniformly cutting into 1-3 mm 3 size tissue pieces;
[0016] S2, adding tissue digestion solution, and digesting the gastrointestinal stromal tumor tissue pieces obtained in step S1 at 37℃ and 100 rpm on a constant temperature shaker; the composition of the tissue digestion solution is collagenase type II 1 mg / mL, hyaluronidase 20 μg / mL, dispase 0.5 mg / mL, and dithiothreitol 0.5 mM;
[0017] S3, monitoring the digestion status in real time, and when a large number of dissociated cell clusters can be observed under a microscope, adding an equal volume of culture solution containing 5% FBS to terminate the digestion, centrifuging to discard the supernatant, and obtaining cell precipitate;

[0019] S5, resuspending the precipitate with a small amount of organoid culture solution, counting the cells and centrifuging to concentrate, and ensuring that each 1 μL of the suspension contains 15,000-20,000 cell clusters;
[0020] S6, mix the concentrated cell suspension with Matrigel at a ratio of 1:4 by volume, inoculate in the form of small droplets in a 24-well plate, and place in a 37℃ cell incubator for 0.5h to allow the droplets to solidify;
[0021] S7, after the droplets solidify, carefully add 500μL gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution along the wall of the hole, and place it back in a 37℃ cell incubator with a CO2 concentration of 5% for culture, and replace the culture solution every 3-4 days.
[0022] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution as described above is applied in organoid culture.
[0023] StemPro MSC SFM medium (purchased from Gibco Company) 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 the culture solution. L-alanyl-L-glutamine can serve as a nitrogen source to support the synthesis of a large amount of protein and nucleic acid, and maintain cell growth. Nicotinamide is a B3 vitamin that participates in various enzyme-mediated oxidation-reduction reactions, can promote energy metabolism, and accelerate the formation of organoids. N-acetylcysteine, as an antioxidant, can scavenge intracellular ROS and inhibit apoptosis. MEM-NEAA solution contains various non-essential amino acids such as glycine, proline, and L-aspartic acid, which can effectively improve the cell culture medium ratio and reduce the synthetic metabolic burden of mesenchymal cells. B27 and N2 additives contain various nutritional elements such as human transferrin, insulin, progesterone, sodium selenite, and putrescine, which can be used as a substitute for serum for serum-free culture of organoids. Pyruvate is an intermediate metabolite of glycolysis, which can generate acetyl-CoA through the pyruvate dehydrogenase system to enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and serve as a precursor for succinic acid synthesis. In SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors, the addition of pyruvate helps to increase the accumulation of succinic acid in tumor cells.
[0025] Stem cell factor (SCF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-AA) both belong to the platelet-derived growth factor family, and as ligands can bind to their respective type III receptor tyrosine kinases C-Kit and PDGFR, inducing autophosphorylation of the transmembrane segment tyrosine residues, and activating downstream signaling pathways such as SRC, Ras-Raf-Erk, and PLC-γ. Activation of SCF / C-Kit and PDGF / PDGFR signals plays an important role in the maintenance of the phenotype, 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 persistent activation of FGF4 signals can be found in 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 the insulin receptor IR and the insulin-like growth factor receptor IGFR, phosphorylate IRS, CRK, SHC, and other proteins to activate downstream pathways such as PI3K / Akt and MAPK, increase the uptake of nutrients by gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids, promote cell proliferation, accelerate the cell cycle and inhibit apoptosis, and increase the volume and construction survival rate of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids.
[0028] Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase C-MET expressed by interstitial cells. HGF / C-MET signal activation can coordinate cell processes such as cell migration dispersion, proliferation, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and enhance GIST cell viability. Compensatory activation of C-MET signals 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 lines, which can activate the Wnt / β-Catenin pathway to maintain the stemness of tumor cells. R-spondin, as a ligand for LGR4-6 receptors, can act as an agonist for Wnt signals to improve β-catenin signaling, allowing long-term stable subculture of organoids.
[0030] Forskolin is a potent adenylyl cyclase activator that can increase the concentration of intracellular second messenger cAMP and enhance cell signaling.
[0031] Y-27632 is a small molecule inhibitor of Rho-associated protein kinase p160ROCK, which can target the catalytic site of ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 to inhibit the anoikis of cells, and can also induce the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into mesodermal cell lineage through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
[0032] ML-098 is a small molecule agonist of Ras and related binding protein Rab, and the addition of ML-098 in the culture solution can strengthen the upstream activated RTK-RAS signal by increasing the affinity of GTPase protein in tumor cells to guanine nucleotide, and promote the growth and self-assembly of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids.
[0033] MHY1485 is an mTOR activator with a morpholine triazine structure, which can phosphorylate the ser2448 site of mTOR to activate mTOR protein and its downstream proteins ribosomal S6K1 and cell translation initiation factor 4EP1, thereby enhancing cell protein synthesis translation and glycolysis metabolism, and promoting the further growth of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids. Studies have found that mTOR signal activation 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 solution and the use method and application thereof provided by the present application have the following specific technical effects:
[0035] (1) The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained by using the culture solution and the culture method provided by the present application can retain the histological characteristics and genetic heterogeneity of the original tumor of the patient, and can be used as a drug screening model and a disease research model for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, thereby promoting the progress and development of precision medicine for tumors;

[0075] A gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution is prepared for culturing SDH-deficient wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors. The preparation method of the mother liquor is the same as that of the culture solution in Example 1. The addition amount of the FGF4 mother liquor is increased to 2 mL, and the concentration is 100 ng / mL. The addition amount of the SCF mother liquor is adjusted to 0.5 mL, and the concentration is 25 ng / mL.
[0076] The culture method of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids is completely the same as that in Example 1.
[0077] On the 4th day and the 8th day of culture, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids are photographed using an inverted microscope, and the photographs are as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 3, using the culture solution and the culture method of the present embodiment, the diameter of the cultured SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids is about 100-150 μm. The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid cell aggregation is good, and the organoids are mostly dense elliptical spheres. The outer periphery can be seen to have thick branching dendrites.
[0078] Example 4
[0079] The primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 are subcultured, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0080] (1) Select the culture wells with good growth, carefully aspirate the organoid culture solution in the culture wells with a pipette, rinse with 1 mL of DPBS buffer solution for 3 times, and then discard.
[0081] (2) Add 500 μL of organoid recovery solution (Corning Cat#354253) to each well, and gently blow and suck up and down for 10-20 times to disperse the matrix glue. Collect the suspension into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, and place it on ice for 30-60 min to dissolve the matrix glue.
[0082] (3) After the matrix glue is completely dissolved, remove the supernatant after centrifugation at 4°C and 250g for 5 min.

[0084] (5) Resuspend the organoids in liquid Matrigel at a 1:2 to 1:3 passage ratio, and reseed in a 24-well cell culture plate at a volume of 50 μL per well.
[0085] (6) After the Matrigel droplets solidify, add 500 μL of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture medium prepared in Example 1 to each well, and return to a cell culture incubator at 37°C with a CO2concentration of 5% for continued culture to complete the passage.
[0086] The light microscope photograph of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids after 4 days of subculture is shown in FIG. 5. The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids maintained good cell aggregation after 2 passages using the culture medium and subculture method of this example, and were mostly dense spheres or ellipsoidal spheres with clear boundaries. After 4 days of subculture, the diameter was 125-150 μm. Figure 4 Example 5
[0087]
[0088] Immunohistochemical identification of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained in Example 1 was performed by embedding the organoids obtained in Example 1, and performing H&E staining and IHC staining of CD117 and DOG-1, according to the following steps:
[0089] (1) Collection and fixation of organoids: The organoids were recovered from Matrigel using the method of steps (1)-(4) of Example 4, and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 1 h. The fixed organoids were centrifuged at 250 g for 5 min at 4°C to remove the fixing solution. The organoid pellet was rinsed with 1 mL of PBS buffer for 3 times. The centrifugation step was repeated, and the supernatant was removed, and the organoid pellet was retained.
[0090] (2) Agarose embedding of organoids: The 3% agarose gel was heated in a microwave oven to completely melt, and the agarose solution was cooled to 55-60°C. 200 μL of the agarose solution was added to resuspend the organoid pellet, and transferred to a 200 μL mold, and placed on ice for 30 min until it solidified.
[0091] (3) Dehydration and permeation: The agarose block containing the organoid pellet that had solidified was removed and placed in a dehydration box, and then placed in a dehydration machine for gradient alcohol dehydration. The dehydrated agarose block was transferred to a tissue embedding box, and treated with anhydrous ethanol and xylene mixture (1:1, by volume) for 10 min, and then treated with xylene for 2 times, 10 min each time.
[0092] (4) Paraffin embedding: immediately transfer the agar block after the completion of the permeabilization treatment into the melted wax jar, immerse in wax for 3 times at 60℃, each time for 1 h. Wrap the organoid with embedding mold, prepare and trim the wax block.
[0093] (5) Section deparaffinization: fix the embedded wax block on the microtome, cut into 5-7 μm thick slices, and place on the glass slide after water bath. Place the section into xylene for 12 min-xylene for 12 min-absolute ethanol for 6 min-95% ethanol for 6 min-85% ethanol for 6 min, and complete deparaffinization by rinsing with distilled water.
[0094] (6) H&E staining: stain with hematoxylin for 6 min, rinse with distilled water for 1 min, then place in 1% hydrochloric acid alcohol for 2 s, then rinse with distilled water for 30 min, then immerse in 1% eosin for 2 min, and dehydrate and mount.
[0095] (7) Antigen retrieval: place the tissue section 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) Block endogenous peroxidase: add 3% hydrogen peroxide to the section, incubate at room temperature for 25 min, and shake the glass slide in PBS buffer on a decolorizing shaker for 3 times, each time for 5 min.
[0097] (9) Serum blocking: wipe the glass slide, add PBS buffer containing 5% serum (the serum needs to be consistent with the species source of the secondary antibody) to evenly cover the tissue, and block at room temperature for 1 h.
[0098] (10) Antibody incubation: absorb the blocking solution with a water-absorbing paper, add sufficient primary antibody to cover the tissue, and incubate overnight at 4℃ in a wet box. After incubation, place the glass slide in PBS buffer and shake on a decolorizing shaker for 3 times, each time for 5 min. After absorption with a water-absorbing paper, add the corresponding secondary antibody to cover the tissue, and incubate at room temperature for 50 min.
[0099] (11) DAB color development: place the glass slide in PBS buffer and shake on a decolorizing shaker for 3 times, each time for 5 min. After absorption with a water-absorbing paper, add freshly prepared DAB color developing solution, incubate at room temperature in a dark environment for 15-20 min, and monitor and control the color development time in real time under a microscope. When a brownish yellow positive reaction is observed, rinse the section with pure water to stop the color development.
[0100] (12) Counterstain the nucleus: stain with hematoxylin for 3 min, rinse with pure water, differentiate with differentiation solution for 2 s, rinse with tap water, return to blue with return blue solution for 30 s, and dehydrate and mount after rinsing with running water.
[0101] The primary antibody used in this example and the dilution factor information 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) ready-to-use.
[0104] The secondary antibody and dilution factor information 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 the sections are shown in Figure 5 The cell morphology of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids is mostly spindle-shaped or epithelioid, and the 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 the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained in Example 5 were identified by immunofluorescence, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0109] (1) Incubate the embedded sections of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids with the primary antibody, and the specific steps are the same as in Example 5.
[0110] (2) Secondary antibody incubation: Place the incubated slides in PBS buffer and shake on a decolorizing shaker for 3 times, 5 min each time. After absorbing the water with a paper towel, add the fluorescent secondary antibody with HRP label, and incubate at room temperature for 50 min.
[0111] (3) Signal amplification: Wash and wipe the slides, and according to the instructions attached to the fluorescent signal amplification kit, add the corresponding color fluorescent reagent and TSA fluorescent signal enhancer, and incubate at room temperature for 5 min.
[0112] (4) DAPI restaining: Wash and wipe the slides, add 2 μg / mL of DAPI staining solution to restain the cell nucleus, and incubate at room temperature for 10 min in the dark.
[0113] (5) Mounting and photographing: Shake the washed slide on the decolorizing shaker for 3 times. After the slide is dried, use anti-fluorescence quenching mounting medium to mount the slide. Observe and collect images under an inverted fluorescence microscope. The red fluorescence area is CD117 positive expression.
[0114] The results are shown in Figure 6 FIG. 6. The CD117 immunofluorescence marker of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid is positively expressed, indicating that the cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid has histochemical properties similar to the original tumor organoid.
[0115] Example 7
[0116] The regorafenib drug sensitivity test was performed on the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid cultured by passage in Example 4, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0117] (1) Select several wells of well-grown organoids after passage (the organoids have complete morphological structure, and the total number is ≥ 500), and add organoid recovery solution to centrifuge and remove Matrigel.
[0118] (2) Add 400 μL of TrypLE enzyme solution to the centrifuge tube, mechanically blow the suspension for 20-30 times with a wide-bore pipette tip, incubate at 37°C for 5 min, and ensure that the organoids are re-digested into numerous uniformly dispersed organoid clusters. Add an equal volume of 5% FBS-containing organoid culture medium to terminate digestion, centrifuge and remove the supernatant.
[0119] (3) Calculate the total volume of culture solution required for organoid drug sensitivity plating (3 parallel wells for each concentration, 90 μL of organoid suspension per well), and add sufficient volume of 10% (vol / vol) Matrigel-containing gastric cancer organoid culture solution to resuspend and mix well the organoids.
[0120] (4) According to the drug sensitivity experiment setting, inoculate the organoid suspension into a 384-well ultra-low attachment cell culture plate and place it in a cell culture incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2.
[0121] (5) Monitor the growth status of the organoids in real time. After 3 days of plating, if the organoids have good morphology and an average diameter greater than 50 μM, add 1:9 of the prepared 10x regorafenib drug stock solution, so that the concentration of regorafenib drug in each concentration gradient 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 the CO2 incubator for continuous culture.
[0122] (6) After 96 hours of drug addition, remove the 384-well plate, and according to the CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay Kit instructions, use a multifunctional enzyme labeler to determine the cell viability of the organoids at each drug sensitivity concentration.
[0123] (7) The dose-effect curve was drawn using Graphpad 8.0 software, and the IC50 was calculated 50 .
[0124] Figure 11 A Morphological changes of the constructed gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids under different concentrations of regorafenib treatment. The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were treated with different concentrations of regorafenib for 7 days, and the morphological changes of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were observed under an inverted microscope. Figure 11 As can be seen from A, under the treatment of regorafenib at a concentration of 0.123-1.11 μM, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids showed no obvious morphological changes; under the treatment of regorafenib at a concentration of 3.33 μM and 10 μM, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids only showed slight shrinkage or dispersion, indicating that the organoid sample of this patient 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 regorafenib for the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids of this patient was 3.758 μM.

[0126] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were cultured using a typical gastric cancer organoid culture medium, and the specific steps were as follows:
[0127] (1) The medium formula provided in Yan et al 2018 is a commonly used gastric cancer organoid culture medium. The medium was prepared as follows:
[0128] In the Advanced DMEM / F12 culture medium, 50% Wnt conditioned medium, 10% R-spondin conditioned medium, 10% noggin conditioned medium, HEPES buffer 10 mM, GlutaMax 1X, N-acetyl cysteine 1 mM, penicillin-streptomycin solution 1%, B27 supplement 2%, EGF 50 ng / mL, FGF10 200 ng / mL, Gastrin 1 nM, A-8301 2 μM, primocin 1 μg / μL, Y-27632 10 μM were added in sequence.

[0130] Comparative Example 2
[0131] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution was prepared and the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were cultured using the culture solution, and the specific steps were as follows:
[0132] Prepare 500 mL of Advanced DMEM / F12 medium, and then add 100 mL of StemPro MSC SFM medium, 300 mL of Wnt conditioned medium, 20 mL of B27 supplement, 10 mL of N2 supplement, 10 mL of MEM-NEAA solution, 10 mL of L-alanyl-L-glutamine stock solution, 10 mL of N-acetyl cysteine stock solution, 10 mL of nicotinamide stock solution, 5 mL of HEPES buffer stock solution, 1 mL of sodium pyruvate stock solution, 1 mL of forskolin stock solution, 1 mL of EGF stock solution, 1 mL of FGF4 stock solution, 1 mL of IGF-1 stock solution, 1 mL of R-spondin stock solution, 1 mL of A-8301 stock solution, 1 mL of Y-27632 stock solution, 2 mL of primocin stock solution, 10 mL of penicillin-streptomycin stock solution, 1 mL of amphotericin b stock solution, mix well, and then add Advanced DMEM / F12 medium to 1 L, and then pass through a 0.22 μm filter membrane in a clean bench.
[0133] The component stock solution concentration used in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution of the present comparative example is the same as that of Example 1, and compared with the culture solution of Example 1, HGF, SCF, PDGF-AA, ML-098, and MHY1485 are removed.

Figure 8
[0135] Comparative Example 3
[0136] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution was prepared and the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were cultured using the culture solution, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0137] (1) Preparation of gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution
[0138] Prepare 500 mL Advanced DMEM / F12 medium, and then 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-acetyl cysteine 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 IGF-1 stock solution, 1 mL SCF stock solution, 1 mL PDGF-AA stock solution, 1 mL R-spondin stock solution, 1 mL A-8301 stock solution, 1 mL Y-27632 stock solution, 2 mL primocin stock solution, 10 mL penicillin-streptomycin stock solution, 1 mL amphotericin B stock solution, mix well, and then add Advanced DMEM / F12 medium to 1 L, and then pass through a 0.22 μm filter membrane in a clean bench.
[0139] The component stock solution concentration used in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoid culture solution of the present comparative example is the same as that of Example 1, and no ML-098 and MHY1485 are added compared with the culture solution of Example 1.
[0140] (2) The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were cultured by the culture method described in step S1.2 of Example 1, and the cultured gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids were photographed by an inverted microscope on the 4th day and the 8th day of culture, respectively. The photographs are shown in Figure 9 The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in the present comparative example grow slowly, and the size of the organoids is smaller than that of Example 1, with a diameter of about 75-100 μm, but the cell aggregation is good, and the boundary is clear.
[0141] Example 8
[0142] The activities of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were investigated, respectively, and the specific method was as follows:
[0143] The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were incubated in a cell incubator for 4 days, and then part of them was used to determine the cell viability of the organoids using a Cell-tiler glo kit according to the attached instructions.
[0144] The results are shown in Figure 10As shown, the cell viability of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Example 1 was the highest, 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 cell viability of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 1 was 95±8.49, and the relative cell viability was 10.63±1.46%, and the cell viability of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 2 was 411±2.83, and the cell viability was 45.95±3.00%.
[0145] Based on the inverted microscope photos of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, the following conclusions can be drawn:
[0146] (1) The cell viability and organoid size of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 1 were significantly lower than those of 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 derived from non-epithelial sources.
[0147] (2) The cell viability of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured in Comparative Example 2, in which HGF, SCF, PDGF-AA, ML-098, and MHY1485 were not added, was higher than that of Comparative Example 1, but still significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, indicating that HGF, SCF, PDGF-AA, and 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 boundaries and good cell aggregation, and the cell viability was significantly improved compared to Comparative Example 2, again indicating that HGF, SCF, and PDGF-AA promote the growth of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. However, due to the absence of ML-098 and MHY1485, the cell viability was only 69.78% of that of Example 1, indicating that the synergistic effect of ML-098 and MHY1485 can further promote the proliferation and growth of cells.
[0149] Therefore, the gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids obtained by in vitro culture using the culture medium and culture method provided by the present application 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, promoting the progress and development of precision medicine for tumors. The gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids cultured have a fast proliferation rate, high cell viability, can be passaged and expanded for a long time, and can obtain gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids with a diameter of more than 100 μm and good activity in 8-10 days. It is also suitable for culturing wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumors such as SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors. It does not contain serum or other components with unclear composition, is not affected by different batches, and can maintain a high degree of uniformity during culture. It can be used to culture gastrointestinal stromal tumor organoids derived from patient tumor tissues or malignant cell lines, and is suitable for drug sensitivity testing.
