Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine and biology, and in particular to a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid and a culture method, culture medium and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck is an epithelial malignant tumor. It is the most common head and neck malignant tumor, accounting for 90% of all head and neck malignant tumors, and ranks sixth among systemic malignant tumors. At present, the main treatment methods are surgical resection, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, targeted and immunotherapy drugs, etc. Although the methods are diverse, the overall survival rate of SCC patients has not been significantly improved in recent decades. Due to the lack of obvious early symptoms, most SCC patients are already in the middle and late stages when diagnosed. Its biological behavior is characterized by rapid local invasion, distant metastasis, high postoperative recurrence rate (50% recurrence rate after 2 years), and poor prognosis. In addition, the genome of head and neck SCC is complex, with many mutated genes, and each subtype has significant differences in clinical and molecular characteristics. Therefore, there is no targeted drug for head and neck SCC. Existing drugs for the treatment of head and neck SCC are either lacking in specificity, or have high drug toxicity, or drug resistance, etc., which makes treatment difficult, so the prognosis of patients is poor. How to use new technologies, new chemotherapeutic drugs, and even specific targeted drugs to conduct risk assessment for SCC patients and select appropriate treatment options is a problem that precision medicine needs to solve.

[0003] Organoids are 3D cell clusters that are differentiated and self-assembled from adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells that are specific to human organs. They can reproduce certain characteristics and functions of tissues and organs. In 2013, organoids were named one of the top ten technologies of the year by Science magazine. They can be integrated with other biotechnologies, including but not limited to gene editing, single-cell genomics, and microfluidics, providing a way to study the pathogenesis, development process, drug development, evaluation of drug efficacy, new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, etc. of diseases. Organoids of various tissue types have been successfully constructed in succession, but the success rate of organoid culture of SCC is low, the time and cost are long, and the sample requirements are high.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] This embodiment provides a method for culturing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids. In this culturing method, the culture medium used is the culture medium for culturing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids provided in Example 1.

[0045] Sample source: A 63-year-old male patient who underwent surgical resection in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Head and Neck Tumors of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine was diagnosed with SCC by postoperative pathology, with the primary lesion located in the left oropharynx. The patient signed an informed consent form.

[0046] (1) The specific training methods are as follows:

[0047] The head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tumor tissue was quickly placed in a centrifuge tube containing tissue preservation solution, the main components of which were DMEM + amphotericin B (500 ng / ml) + 5% penicillin-streptomycin (the 5% concentration was determined based on DMEM), and the centrifuge tube was placed in an ice box and transported to the laboratory;

[0048] In a biosafety cabinet, the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tumor tissue was transferred to a culture dish, and the tissue was soaked in PBS containing 5% penicillin-streptomycin (the 5% concentration was determined based on PBS) for about 10 minutes, and then transferred to another PBS culture dish also containing 5% penicillin-streptomycin, and the capsule tissue was removed in the culture dish;

[0049] (a) Tissue fragmentation

[0050] Cut the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tumor tissue into approximately 1 mm 3 Large and small tissue fragments;

[0051] (b) Tissue digestion

[0052] The tissue fragments were transferred to a centrifuge tube containing trypsin at a concentration of 0.13% (wt / vol) and digested in a shaker at 37°C for 1 h;

[0053] The digestion was terminated by adding DMEM medium containing serum to obtain a suspension of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma;

[0054] (c) Filtration

[0055] The suspension of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was filtered using 100 μm, 70 μm, and 40 μm cell filters in sequence to obtain a single cell suspension of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma;

[0056] Count the cells using a counting plate and add an appropriate amount of culture medium to resuspend the cell pellet according to the counting results;

[0057] When inoculating, the resuspended cell pellet was mixed with matrix gel and inoculated in a 24-well plate. 40 μl of matrix gel was added to each well of the 24-well plate, and about 10 4 cells;

[0058] When culturing primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids, invert the inoculated 24-well plate and place it in a 37°C incubator for about 40 minutes. After the colloid solidifies, place the 24-well plate upright and add an appropriate amount of culture medium to each well for culture. During the culture period, replace the culture medium every 2-3 days.

[0059] (2) Subculture of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids

[0060] During the culture of HNSCC organoids, observe the number of HNSCC organoids under a microscope as needed. When the number of HNSCC organoids is sufficient, perform subculturing. The subculturing steps are as follows:

[0061] Discard the original culture medium, melt the matrix gel with pre-cooled PBS, gently blow the mixture of matrix gel and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids and transfer it to a centrifuge tube. After centrifugation, add PBS to wash, remove all the matrix gel, add trypsin to digest for 3 minutes, and add culture medium to terminate the digestion. Count the cells under the microscope, centrifuge and discard the supernatant, resuspend the precipitate with an appropriate amount of culture medium, and mix it with matrix gel (add 40 μl of matrix gel to each well of the 24-well plate, and about 10 4 The inoculated 24-well plate was inverted and placed in a 37°C incubator for about 40 minutes. After the colloid solidified, the 24-well plate was placed upright and an appropriate amount of culture medium was added to each well for culture.

[0062] During the culture period, the culture medium was replaced every 2-3 days.

[0063] (3) Morphological observation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids

[0064] At each stage of different growth densities, a stereo microscope was used to observe the gross morphology of the subcultured head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids, and photographs were taken to record them. The morphology of the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids is spherical with continuous edges. After being subcultured to P2 (second-generation head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids) and P5 (fifth-generation head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids), the gross morphology remained unchanged, and the number of organoids increased after each subculture, and the spheroids showed a slow enlargement trend. P1 (first-generation head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids), P2, and P5 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids can be seen. Figure 1 .

[0065] (4) Morphological identification of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids

[0066] The head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids obtained after culture were processed using a modified agar encapsulation method:

[0067] Fixation: Carefully pipette the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid tissue into a 24-well cell culture plate, add 10% neutral buffered formaldehyde, and fix at room temperature for 2-4 hours;

[0068] Pre-embedding: Preheat the frozen agar solution to a viscous state in advance. After the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid tissue is fixed, use a 3ml pipette to suck out the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid tissue and place it in a disposable plastic embedding mold. Use a pipette to suck out an appropriate amount of agar solution and slowly add it around the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid tissue until the agar wraps all the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid tissue; wait for the agar to solidify at room temperature, and put it into 75% alcohol, 85% alcohol, 95% alcohol, and 100% alcohol for dehydration together with the mold, each time for 5-10 minutes, to facilitate the agar block to be removed from the plastic embedding mold;

[0069] Dehydration: Place the agar block containing pre-embedded head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoid tissue in the embedding box and immerse it in 75% alcohol for 30 minutes, 85% alcohol for 30 minutes, 95% alcohol for 30 minutes, 100% alcohol for 1 hour, and 100% alcohol for 1 hour.

[0070] Transparent and wax-immersed: xylene 30 min, xylene 30 min, paraffin 62°C 30 min, paraffin 62°C 1 h, paraffin 62°C 1 h;

[0071] Sectioning: Gently pick up the agar block after treatment with tweezers, embed it in paraffin, and slice it into 3μm sections;

[0072] Staining: Hematoxylin & Eosin (HE) staining, routine histological observation, and comparison with SCC parent tumor.

[0073] By observing the HE sections of the passaged head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids and their corresponding SCC parent tumor tissues, it was found that the passaged head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids retained the histopathological morphological characteristics of their corresponding SCC parent tumors, such as Figure 2 .

[0074] The immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of relevant protein markers was performed on the Roche fully automated immunohistochemistry staining machine BenchMark ULTRA using the Envision two-step method. The results showed that the protein markers (CKH, CK7, and P63) were consistent with the IHC results of their corresponding SCC parental tumor tissues, such as Figure 3 .

[0075] Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids: the paraffin-embedded head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids were sliced ​​into several 3μm sections and baked at 65℃ for 1-2h; dewaxed with xylene, hydrated with gradient alcohol, and the sections were placed in 90℃ distilled water for 30min. The head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids were digested in a water bath in 54℃ pepsin digestion solution for 20-30min, dehydrated with gradient alcohol and dried. Under light-proof conditions, 5-10μl of probe (EGFR) was added, and the coverslip was covered with rubber cement to seal the slide. The hybridizer was denatured at 76℃ for 10min and hybridized at 42℃ for 18h. After the incubation, the slides were removed, the rubber cement was removed, and the slides were immersed in a 2x SSC / 0.3% NP-40 (pH7.0-7.2) solution preheated to 68°C for 2 minutes. The sections were then immersed in a 2xSSC / 0.1% NP-40 solution at room temperature for 2 minutes, and finally placed in a 2x SSC buffer at room temperature for 2 minutes. Dehydrate with gradient alcohol, dry naturally in the dark, add 10μl DAPI counterstain solution to the corresponding area of ​​probe hybridization, cover with a coverslip, and stain at -20°C for 30 minutes, and observe the results under a fluorescence microscope. Tumor cells were searched under three objective lenses: 10x, 40x, and 100x oil objective, and the red and green signals in 20 cells were counted under a 100x oil objective. FISH results showed that the EGFR gene was not amplified in the P4 generation organoids (the fourth generation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids) and the SCC parent tumor (such as Figure 4 ), the two results are consistent.

[0076] Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) detection technology was used to detect cases of HPV infection. PBS was used instead of the probe as a blank control, and a known positive SCC tumor tissue was used as a positive control. The sections were digested with pepsin at 37°C and the probe was added for hybridization overnight. After incubation with horseradish peroxidase-labeled digoxigenin primary antibody and DAB colorimetric solution was added to develop the color to observe the results. The results showed that HPV infection was not detected in the P4 generation organoids (the fourth generation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma organoids) and the SCC parent tumors, and the results of the two were consistent (such as Figure 5 ).

[0077] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essence of the present invention.
