Description

Method for constructing a vascularized organoid spheroid model, vascularized organoid spheroid model and its application Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular to a method for constructing a vascularized organoid spheroid model, a vascularized organoid spheroid model, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cancer is a highly structured, complex ecosystem that includes tumor cells and a large number of non-tumor cells, all embedded in an extracellular matrix. The tumor microenvironment (TME) includes a variety of immune cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pericytes, and a variety of other tissue-resident cells. This complex environment directly or indirectly affects the phenotype of tumor cells through complex reciprocal signaling mechanisms mediated by soluble factors, intercellular contacts, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, leading to high tumor heterogeneity. TME cells are involved in every stage of cancer progression, affecting tumor occurrence, progression, invasion, intravasation, metastatic spread, and growth. TME cells and the molecules they secrete are believed to play a key role in the pathogenesis of cancer and represent attractive therapeutic targets. The complex interactions between tumor cells and mediators are crucial for the rational development of effective anticancer drugs.

[0003] Cancer heterogeneity significantly contributes to diverse patient responses to treatment, including therapeutic resistance, and this complexity has become a considerable obstacle to uncovering the specific mechanisms of treatment failure. Organotypic models of patient-specific tumors have the potential to transform our understanding of cancer heterogeneity and its impact on personalized medicine. These advances are due in part to the ability of organoid models to stably preserve the genetic, proteomic, morphological, and druggable characteristics of the parent tumor in vitro, while also providing unprecedented genomic and environmental manipulation. However, it is difficult for tumor organoid models to fully characterize the original tissue because they typically lack a complete microenvironment. Tumor organoids and the tumor microenvironment can be likened to "seeds and soil." Constructing tumor organoid models with a microenvironment for drug testing will be closer to the human body's true response to drug action.

[0004] Angiogenic inhibitors are an important class of anti-tumor drugs. In 1971, Professor Folkman proposed the theory of tumor angiogenesis, pointing out that both local tumor growth and distant metastasis are inseparable from the generation of tumor angiogenesis. The growth and metastasis of solid tumors undergo a transformation process from the pre-vascular phase to the vascular phase. Tumor angiogenic inhibitors can inhibit the formation of the tumor angiogenic growth factor VEGF, thereby inducing the natural apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells and destroying the tumor's new vascular network. However, traditional in vitro models make it difficult to detect the anti-tumor effects of such drugs. Tumor models such as tumor cell models, tumor organoid models, and tumor aggregate models contain only tumor cells and do not respond to angiogenic inhibitors. Vascular models can only reflect the effects on angiogenesis and cannot further reflect the effects on tumors.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a method for constructing a vascularized organoid spheroid model, a vascularized organoid spheroid model and its application. The vascularized organoid spheroid model constructed by the construction method described in the present disclosure has a dense structure and strong simulation, which is closer to the real reflection of the human body's response to drug effects. It can be used for the screening of anti-tumor drugs and the sensitivity testing of anti-tumor drugs, and can also be used for toxicity testing of non-tumor drugs.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for constructing a vascularized organoid spheroid model, the construction method comprising the following steps: S100: preparing or obtaining an organoid, wherein the organoid is a primary organoid or a passaged organoid, digesting the primary organoid or the passaged organoid to obtain organoid cells, and obtaining fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. S200: mixing the organoid cells, the fibroblasts, and the vascular endothelial cells, and resuspending them in a culture medium to obtain an organoid multicellular suspension. S300: inoculating the organoid multicellular suspension into a culture chamber or a culture well, performing spheroid culture, and self-assembling to form the vascularized organoid spheroid model.

[0008] The organoid is an organoid constructed from tissue extraction or an organoid differentiated from iPS stem cells, and the organoid can be a primary organoid or an organoid to be passaged.

[0009] For example, in some embodiments, the organoid multicellular suspension is inoculated into a culture chamber having a U-shaped bottom for sphere formation culture; in other embodiments, the organoid multicellular suspension is inoculated into a culture well having a U-shaped bottom for sphere formation culture. Preferably, the culture chamber and / or the culture well are low-adhesion U-shaped culture chambers and / or low-adhesion U-shaped culture wells to facilitate subsequent self-assembly into spheres.

[0010] The method for constructing the vascularized organoid spheroid model disclosed in the present invention first mixes the organoid cells obtained by digestion of primary organoids or passaged organoids with fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells in an appropriate proportion, and then sequentially performs multiple stages of spheroid culture. During the culture process, a culture vessel with a U-shaped bottom is used to facilitate the formation of a tightly structured spheroid structure. The organoid cells used in the present invention can, on the one hand, truly reflect the physiological characteristics of tumor tissue and non-tumor tissue. On the other hand, the organoid cells can proliferate and passage, so that the simulation of the prepared vascularized organoid spheroid model is better. Moreover, the present invention uses an appropriate amount of fibroblasts and an appropriate amount of vascular endothelial cells to co-culture with the organoid cells, and can grow an organoid microenvironment composed of fibroblast structure and microvessels, further improving the simulation of the prepared vascularized organoid spheroid model, so that the prepared vascularized organoid spheroid model can better characterize the original tissue. The construction method disclosed herein uses spheroid culture plus cell culture scaffold materials (such as hydrogels, matrix gels, and other cell culture gels) to facilitate the observation of cell migration and the study of tumor invasion in subsequent drug sensitivity testing.

The total number of cells is within the above range and matches the appropriate model diameter, which easily forms a necrotic core inside the model, which is conducive to the gradient increase of the proliferation degree of the model cells from the inside to the outside and the gradual increase of the oxygen content of the model from the inside to the outside, and the simulation is better. Preferably, the diameter of the constructed vascularized organoid spheroid model is in the range of 300 μm to 600 μm. More preferably, the diameter of the constructed vascularized organoid spheroid model is in the range of 350 μm to 450 μm.

[0152] Example 1

[0153] (I) Preparation of a vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model (forming a vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model on a U-shaped well plate)

[0154] Step 1. Select primary lung cancer organoids (i.e., the lung cancer organoid culture kit with catalog number KLU0101, the same as in Example 2), add pre-chilled PBS to the culture well plate, add 1 mL of PBS to each well, collect the cells into a centrifuge tube, refrigerate at 4°C for 15 minutes, centrifuge (1000 rpm, 5 minutes), and remove the supernatant to obtain a lung cancer organoid pellet;

[0160] Step 6: Add the above-mentioned lung cancer organoid multicellular suspension to a low-adhesion U-bottom 96-well plate and centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes;

[0161] Step 7: Place the cells in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for the first stage of sphere formation culture;

[0162] Step 8. After 3 days of culture, remove the original culture medium in the well plate, add 5uL of hydrogel, and after gelation, add 100uL of the above mixed culture medium and place it in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for the second stage of sphere formation culture. The second stage of sphere formation culture lasts for 2 days.

[0163] The diameter of the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model prepared in Example 1 is 400 μm.

[0164] FIG1 is a test of the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model prepared in Example 1 of the present disclosure.

[0165] Figure 1a is a bright field image of the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model. It can be seen that the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model prepared in Example 1 has clear boundaries and grows large areas of microvessels with a complex network structure. Figure 1b uses green cell tracking dye (cell tracker) to mark lung cancer organoids. From the lung cancer organoid distribution map, it can be seen that lung cancer organoids grow uniformly in a spherical shape. Figure 1c is an unstained paraffin section of lung cancer organoids. It can be seen that the spheroid cells grow densely and the peripheral endothelial cells grow in a tubular shape. Figure 1d is a hematoxylin and eosin staining of paraffin sections of lung cancer organoids. It can be seen that lung cancer organoid cells fuse and grow with lung cancer-associated fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. The three cells promote each other to form spheroids. Figure 1e is a fluorescent image of microvessels generated in multicellular spheroids of lung cancer organoids. Green cell tracking dye is used to mark lung cancer organoids. The multicellular spheroids of lung cancer organoids are frozen and sectioned. Green fluorescence shows that organoids are distributed in spheroids, and that organoids fuse and grow with endothelial cells and fibroblasts. It can be seen from the test diagram of Figure 1 that the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model prepared in Example 1 of the present disclosure has good simulation performance.

[0166] Figure 2 shows a comparison of the two situations of digesting lung cancer organoids into single cells and not digesting lung cancer organoids into single cells in the process of preparing a vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model in Example 1 of the present disclosure. Figure 2(a) shows the state of the lung cancer organoids after being digested into single cells and then mixed with other cells in the process of obtaining lung cancer organoid cells, and cultured on the 1st and 5th days. Figure 2(b) shows the state of the lung cancer organoids after being directly mixed with other cells in the process of obtaining lung cancer organoid cells, and cultured on the 1st and 5th days. It can be seen from the comparison photos in Figure 2 that it is easier to form spheroids after digesting lung cancer organoids into single cells and then mixing with other cells to form multicellular spheroids. At the same time, after 5 days of growth of the spheroids, it can be seen that the microvessels of the model are more abundant when the organoids are digested into single cells and then formed into multicellular spheroids.

[0167] FIG3 further compares the cell number ratios of lung cancer organoid cells, lung cancer-associated fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells in the process of preparing the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model in Example 1 of the present disclosure. In FIG3(a), the cell number ratio of lung cancer organoid cells, lung cancer-associated fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells is 4:3:1, and the bright field image is obtained after mixing and culturing for 3 days. In FIG3(b), the cell number ratio of lung cancer organoid cells, lung cancer-associated fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells is 30:1:2, and the bright field image is obtained after mixing and culturing for 3 days. It can be seen from FIG3 that the cell number ratio of lung cancer organoid cells, lung cancer-associated fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells is appropriate, which is conducive to the spheroidization of the model and is more conducive to the construction of the tumor microenvironment. A lung cancer organoid model with a complex microvascular network and better simulation can be grown.

[0168] (2) Drug testing:

[0169] (1) Prepare appropriate concentrations of drug-containing culture medium: cisplatin + paclitaxel (cisplatin 6 μM, paclitaxel 4 μM), pemetrexed (20 μM);

[0170] (2) Transferring the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model cultured in Example 1 to a 96-well plate;

[0172] (4) Observe and record the growth status of the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model on day 3;

[0173] (5) On day 5, the growth status of the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model was observed and recorded, and activity was detected using a CTG detection kit;

[0174] Add 100 μL CTG detection reagent to each well, shake on a shaker for 5 minutes, and incubate at room temperature for 25 minutes;

[0175] (6) After incubation, the cells were detected using a chemiluminescence microplate reader.

[0176] Figure 4 shows the status of the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model prepared in Example 1 of the present disclosure on the 3rd and 5th days of culture after adding drug-containing culture medium during the drug sensitivity test, wherein the culture medium in the control group is blank culture medium, and the blank culture medium is added with 1% DMSO on the basis of the above-mentioned mixed culture medium.

[0177] FIG5 is a graph showing the results of detecting the lysates of the three groups of experiments in FIG4 using a chemiluminescence microplate reader.

[0178] In combination with Figures 4 and 5, it can be seen that both cisplatin + paclitaxel (a combination drug) and pemetrexed have a certain vascular inhibitory effect on the vascularized lung cancer organoid spheroid model constructed in Example 1 of the present disclosure, and the combination drug of cisplatin + paclitaxel is more sensitive to this lung cancer organoid spheroid.

[0271] The drug sensitivity chip used in the present disclosure adopts, for example, the cell culture devices shown in application numbers CN2023105307566, CN2023211335836, CN2023105302350, and CN202310530706.8. For example, taking the cell culture device shown in application number CN202310530706.8 as an example, referring to FIG14 , the middle culture chamber of the drug sensitivity chip described in the present disclosure refers to the culture chamber 10a in the cell culture device, and the liquid storage chambers on both sides of the drug sensitivity chip described in the present disclosure refer to the liquid storage chamber 10b in the cell culture device. There are two liquid storage chambers 10b. In the flow direction from the liquid storage chamber 10b to the culture chamber 10a, the two liquid storage chambers 10b are symmetrically arranged, and the culture chamber 10a is located between the two liquid storage chambers 10b. With this setting, the cell culture device can be swung. At this time, during the swing, the culture medium can move back and forth between the two liquid storage chambers 10b, and dynamic culture can be achieved by generating physical and chemical stimuli such as fluid shear force, mechanical stress, and biochemical concentration gradient. While showing more realistic physiological functions, it can better realize the material exchange between the culture medium and the biological sample, and can take away the excretions of the biological sample, which can better simulate the real cell environment.
