Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tumor model construction technology, specifically relating to an animal model of lung adenocarcinoma with high bone metastasis, a cell line, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Lung cancer ranks among the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lung adenocarcinoma, as one of the major subtypes of lung cancer, presents significant challenges to clinical diagnosis and treatment due to its insidious early symptoms and rapid progression. According to Globocan data, lung adenocarcinoma has long been among the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality globally, becoming a major disease that seriously threatens human life and health.
[0003] In the progression of lung adenocarcinoma, distant metastasis is one of the main causes of treatment failure, poor prognosis, and even death, and bone tissue is one of the most common sites of distant metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma. Studies have shown that approximately 36% of lung adenocarcinoma patients will develop bone metastasis during the disease process. Once bone metastasis occurs, patients often experience a series of serious bone-related events, which not only greatly reduce their quality of life but also significantly shorten their lifespan, placing a heavy burden on patients' families and society.
[0004] Animal models or cell lines with high bone metastasis are crucial tools for studying the mechanisms of tumor bone metastasis, screening anti-bone metastasis drugs, and exploring related immune regulatory mechanisms. They can stably and efficiently simulate the entire process of cancer cell migration, invasion, and colonization into the bone. However, in the field of lung adenocarcinoma, the development and application of relevant animal models or cell lines with high bone metastasis still have significant shortcomings. For example, although the existing human lung cancer cell line with high bone metastasis, SPC-A-1BM, can be applied to immunodeficient mouse models, these models cannot simulate the complete immune microenvironment of the body, resulting in low application value of this cell line in the study of the tumor immune microenvironment related to lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis.
[0005] To overcome the limitations of immunodeficient mouse models, humanized mouse models have been gradually applied. However, these models have problems such as high difficulty in experimental operation and high costs of breeding and experimentation, making it difficult to carry out them widely in routine clinical laboratories. This has seriously limited the popularization and advancement of research on immune-related aspects of lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an animal model and cell line of lung adenocarcinoma with high bone metastasis, as well as its construction method and applications. This invention uses a mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with a well-established source and stable biological characteristics as parental tumor cells to construct an animal model and cell line of lung adenocarcinoma with high bone metastasis applicable to immunocompetent individuals. This meets the needs of tumor immunology-related research on lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis and provides a powerful experimental tool for further in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis, development of targeted anti-bone metastasis drugs, and optimization of immunotherapy strategies.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the embodiments of the present invention employ the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for constructing an animal model of lung adenocarcinoma with high bone metastasis, the method comprising the following steps: S1. Mouse lung adenocarcinoma cells were injected into normal mice via the left ventricle. After 25-30 days, tumor cells were extracted from bone metastases in mice to obtain first-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells. S2. The first generation of lung adenocarcinoma cells were injected into normal mice via the left ventricle. After 14-21 days, tumor cells were extracted from bone metastases in the mice to obtain the second generation of lung adenocarcinoma cells. S3. The second-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells were injected into normal mice via the left ventricle. After 14-21 days, a lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis was obtained -2.
[0008] The construction method provided by this invention is efficient, stable, and scientifically controllable. Through multiple generations of in vivo targeted screening, a lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis was successfully obtained, providing a high-performance and widely adaptable experimental model for lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis research. The specific beneficial effects are as follows: 1. The construction method provided by this invention is highly efficient, controllable, and reproducible. This invention employs a multi-generational iterative screening strategy involving left ventricular injection and extraction of cells from bone metastases. The steps are clear, and the screening cycle for each generation is well-defined. The tumor formation time for the first generation is approximately 4 weeks, while for the second generation it is shortened to 2-3 weeks. By gradually enriching high-potency bone metastatic cell subsets, the targeted construction of high-potency bone metastatic cell lines is achieved. The entire process is controllable, and the screening cycle for each generation is predictable, effectively solving the problems of long screening cycles and poor stability in traditional bone metastatic cell line screening, ensuring reproducible construction under different experimental scenarios.
[0009] 2. The method for constructing animal models provided by this invention significantly improves tumor formation efficiency and rate, does not rely on immunodeficient mice, and can cover multiple research scenarios such as tumor immunity, regulation of bone metastasis microenvironment, and screening of anti-bone metastasis drugs. It can reduce the cost of replacing experimental models and provide a convenient and reliable tool for basic research and drug development related to bone metastasis.
[0010] 3. The resulting animal models exhibit strong stability. After targeted screening, the high bone metastasis phenotype in the animal models has been stably inherited, with uniform tumor formation time and regular metastatic lesion formation, which can meet the requirements for long-term and reproducible experimental studies, providing a stable model basis for in-depth exploration of bone metastatic diseases.
[0011] Preferably, after obtaining the lung adenocarcinoma animal model-2 with high bone metastasis, the method further includes the following steps: extracting tumor cells from the bone metastases of the lung adenocarcinoma animal model-2 with high bone metastasis to obtain third-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells; The third-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells were injected into normal mice via the left ventricle, and after 14-18 days, a lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis-3 was obtained.
[0012] More preferably, after obtaining the lung adenocarcinoma animal model-3 with high bone metastasis, the method further includes the following step: extracting tumor cells from the bone metastases of the lung adenocarcinoma animal model-3 with high bone metastasis to obtain fourth-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells; The fourth-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells were injected into normal mice via the left ventricle. After 12-16 days, a lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis was obtained.
[0013] Preferably, the mouse lung adenocarcinoma cells include the mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line Lewis Lung Cancer (LLC).
[0014] Preferably, the normal mouse is a C57 background mouse that is 6-8 weeks old.
[0015] For example, the C57 background mouse in this invention is illustrated using the C57BL / 6 mouse.
[0016] Preferably, in S1, the dose of the injected mouse lung adenocarcinoma cells is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 cells / each - 3×10 5 cells / each.
[0017] Preferably, in S2, the dose of the first-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells injected is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 cells / each - 3×10 5 cells / each.
[0018] Preferably, in S3, the dose of the second-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells injected is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 cells / each - 3×10 5 cells / each.
[0019] More preferably, the dose of the injected third-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 cells / each - 3×10 5cells / each.
[0020] More preferably, the dose of the fourth-generation lung adenocarcinoma cells injected is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 5 cells / each - 3×10 5 cells / each.
[0021] For example, Nth generation lung adenocarcinoma cells (N being a positive integer from 1 to 4) were injected into mice in the form of a cell suspension at a dose of 75 μL / mouse to 120 μL / mouse, and the concentration of the cell suspension was 2 × 10⁻⁶. 6 cells / mL - 4 × 10 6 cells / mL.
[0022] For example, a lung adenocarcinoma cell suspension was prepared by resuspending tumor cells in PBS buffer.
[0023] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma with high bone metastasis, which is constructed by the method for constructing the animal model of lung adenocarcinoma with high bone metastasis described in the first aspect.
[0024] The lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis provided by this invention uses mouse lung adenocarcinoma cells as parent tumor cells. It has the natural advantage of being applicable to immunocompetent mice and does not rely on immunodeficient mice. After multiple generations of iterative screening, the construction time of the 3rd-4th generation model is shortened to 2 weeks. This animal model has relatively low cost and strong stability.
[0025] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis in the preparation of mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with high bone metastasis.
[0026] Fourthly, the present invention provides a method for constructing a mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high bone metastasis, the method comprising: extracting tumor cells from bone metastases in the lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis described in the second aspect to obtain a mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high bone metastasis.
[0027] Fifthly, the present invention provides a mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high bone metastasis, which is constructed by the method for constructing a mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high bone metastasis described in the fourth aspect.
[0028] The mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high bone metastasis provided by this invention is constructed based on the widely used LLC cell line. It not only possesses advantages such as excellent bone metastasis performance and stable, heritable phenotype, but also integrates with existing research systems, combining universality and cost-effectiveness. It can efficiently meet the demand for highly specific models in research on bone metastasis mechanisms. Specific analysis is as follows: 1. Outstanding ability to metastasize to bone marrow The bone metastasis specificity is high. Under the same conditions, lung adenocarcinoma cells of the 3rd-4th generation can form obvious bone metastases in the tibia and femur of mice within 2 weeks after left ventricular injection. The tumor formation time is shortened by about 50% compared with the parent LLC cell line (about 4 weeks), and the tumor formation efficiency and rate are significantly improved. With the increase of screening passage, the bone metastasis invasiveness gradually increases, the tumor formation time is further stabilized, and the bone metastasis efficiency and stability are far superior to the parent cell line, which can meet the needs of high specificity models for bone metastasis mechanism research. 2. Phenotypic stability and inheritance, avoiding traditional defects. After targeted screening, the high bone metastasis phenotype can be stably inherited, effectively solving the phenotypic drift problem that is prone to occur in traditional bone metastasis cell lines, and ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of experimental results; 3. It has strong universality and relatively low cost. The LLC cell line of this invention can be applied to immune-healthy mice, possessing universality for basic tumor research; at the same time, it can directly connect with existing LLC cell line-related research systems, significantly reducing the cost of replacing experimental models.
[0029] In a sixth aspect, the present invention provides the use of the lung adenocarcinoma animal model with high bone metastasis as described in the second aspect or the mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line with high bone metastasis as described in the fifth aspect in screening or developing drugs for lung adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis.
[0030] Given that the lung adenocarcinoma animal model or cell line with high bone metastasis provided by this invention has advantages such as outstanding bone metastasis ability, stable performance, strong universality and relatively low cost, it can be used in the fields of screening or development of lung adenocarcinoma drugs with bone metastasis.
