Description

[0002] Oral squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in the head and neck, and its common sites are the tongue, gums, cheeks, palate, lips, and floor of mouth. Squamous cell carcinoma is characterized by the formation of keratin beads and the appearance of cell bridges. The tumor originates from the surface oral mucosal epithelium, and the neoplastic epithelial masses or epithelial islands infiltrate the underlying connective tissue. The cell characteristics can be manifested as abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, large nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, different degrees of cell and nuclear polymorphism, keratin beads formed by squamous skin, and single cell keratinization. OSCC accounts for more than 80% of oral, neck and facial cancers, and the 5-year survival rate of patients is about 50%. For patients with advanced and recurrent tumors, the survival rate is even lower. Therefore, it is very important to find an effective treatment method.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a process for establishing an in vitro culture model of oral squamous cell carcinoma according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0057] In the description of the present application, the term "for example" is used to mean "used as an example, illustration or description". Any embodiment described as "for example" in the present application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is given to enable any technician in the field to implement and use the present invention. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other examples, well-known structures and processes will not be elaborated in detail to avoid unnecessary details to obscure the description of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in the present application.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown: In one embodiment, a method for establishing an in vitro culture model of oral squamous cell carcinoma comprises the following steps:

[0059] S1: Collect patient data and analyze oral squamous cell carcinoma and its living environment in patients. Specifically: obtain clinical information of patients, such as age, gender, medical history, tumor stage, and treatment history;

[0060] S2: Periodically obtain tissue samples and separate cells from oral squamous cell carcinoma, and establish an in vitro culture model. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is cultured in the in vitro culture model. Specifically: Tumor samples obtained through surgery are processed into single-cell suspensions and then inoculated in a culture medium containing high concentrations of glucose. At the same time, gelatin scaffolds are used to support three-dimensional growth to reflect the real tumor environment in the patient's body;

[0061] S3: Collect oral squamous cell carcinoma samples from patients at different cycles and oral squamous cell carcinoma samples cultured in vitro. Specifically: The test showed that the tumor cells cultured in vitro showed a proliferation rate similar to that of the in vivo samples, but the metabolic activity of glucose was low, indicating the possible need for nutritional adjustment;

[0062] S4: Analyze the obtained data to adjust the parameters in the model to be closer to the in vivo generation characteristics, so that the oral squamous cell carcinoma generated in vitro is consistent with the oral squamous cell carcinoma grown in vivo. Specifically: Through analysis, it was found that the regulation of lactic acid accumulation by cells is different from that in vivo, so the pH and neutralization dose of the culture medium are adjusted to improve the metabolic matching. After the subsequent test confirms the effect of the adjustment, the model can be established to more accurately reflect the in vivo situation.

[0063] In this example, a dynamic adjustment and optimization framework is provided, which enables the in vitro model to more accurately represent the real tumor growth characteristics of patients through precise data collection, analysis and iterative optimization. This framework is not only applicable to basic research, but also provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of personalized cancer treatment strategies.

[0064] In one embodiment, S1 includes:

[0065] The collection of patient data includes the collection of nutritional intake analysis and metabolic analysis of the patient:

[0066] The food consumed by the patient is input through the nutrition analysis software, and the macronutrients and micronutrients are output; the macronutrients include: total carbohydrates, total protein and total fat; the micronutrients include the average daily intake of major vitamins and minerals;

[0067] The metabolic analysis includes: estimating metabolic characteristics by Monte Carlo simulation or linear regression based on the expression levels of transport proteins and enzymes;

[0068] Assume that the gene expression level data E and the metabolic activity M of multiple gene pathways P are expressed as:

[0069]

[0070] where w i is the weight of each path, E i is the gene expression of the ith pathway.

[0071] In this embodiment, a deep learning network is used to process the patient's metabolic data:

[0072] S11: Collect gene expression data and metabolism-related gene sets of patients;

[0073] S12: Construct metabolic activity calculation formula:

[0074]

[0075] S13: Predicting metabolic network output using neural network models;

[0076] S131: Network structure: Input layer: gene expression data and environmental data;

[0077] Hidden layer: multi-layer fully connected layer, ReLU is used as activation function;

[0078] Output layer: metabolic indicators (such as lactate production, oxygen consumption);

[0079] S132: The loss function uses mean square error MSE to optimize the prediction:

[0080]

[0081] where y j is the true metabolic output, is the predicted value.

[0082] S14: Optimize network parameters through gradient descent algorithm (such as Adam), use patient historical data for cross-validation, and evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model.

[0083] At the same time, based on conventional clinical data, single-cell transcriptomics data is introduced to capture the heterogeneity of tumor cells and further personalize culture conditions:

[0084] Single cells from tumor samples were isolated using flow cytometry.

[0085] Single-cell RNA expression profiles were obtained using high-throughput sequencing technology.

[0086] Data normalization: Gene expression data were log-transformed and Z-score normalized.

[0087] Dimensionality reduction analysis: Use t-SNE or UMAP method to reduce the dimension of high-dimensional single-cell data:

[0088]

[0089] Where P i,j Represents the similarity distribution in high-dimensional space, Q i,jRepresents the similarity distribution in low-dimensional space.

[0090] Use K-means or graph-based clustering (such as Louvain algorithm) to cluster cells:

[0091]

[0092] Among them C i represents a cluster, u i is the center of the ith cluster, x j Indicates the cells to be grouped.

[0093] The clustering results were annotated according to known cell marker genes (such as immune cells and fibroblasts); transcriptomics data were integrated with metabolic data to establish a multidimensional feature matrix for the personalized design of culture medium components.

[0150] Specific examples:

[0151] Patient Background:

[0152] Age: 55

[0153] Gender: Male

[0154] Diagnosis: Intermediate stage oral squamous cell carcinoma

[0155] Medical history: Hyperglycemia, long-term dietary preference for high-sugar and high-fat foods

[0156] Traditional cultivation methods:

[0157] Standard oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines (such as SCC-25) were used for 2D plate culture in a universal culture medium (such as RPMI-1640 or DMEM plus 10% fetal bovine serum) without personalized condition settings.

[0158] S1: Collect and analyze patient data

[0159] Nutritional analysis: Using nutritional analysis software, it was confirmed that the patient's daily sugar intake was significantly higher than normal levels.

[0160] Metabolic analysis: Genetic testing showed that the glycolysis pathway of the patient's cancer cells was enhanced. Oxygen concentration testing showed that the patient's tumor was mainly grown in a low-oxygen environment.
