- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is a common method for the treatment of gastric cancer,but the curative effect of chemotherapy in different patients varies considerably.A new pre-clinical treatment model is needed to guide personalized drug therapy for patients with gastric cancer.OBJECTIVE:To construct organoid model based on gastric cancer tissue and investigate its application in personalized drug screening.METHODS:The tissue samples of 20 patients with gastric cancer were collected,digested and decomposed,mixed with matrix glue,and cultured with organoid medium containing epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor 10.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical method were used to verify the homogeneity of pathological morphology and immune molecular markers of gastric cancer organoids and original tumor tissues.The feasibility of the established gastric cancer organoid model for drug screening was evaluated through drug sensitivity screening of six drugs including carboplatin,irinotecan,fluorouracil,oxaliplatin,paclitaxel,and epirubicin.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fourteen organoids of gastric cancer cases were successfully cultured.There were individual differences in morphology and growth characteristics of organoids.All organoids could be stably passed through,froze and resuscitated.Gastric cancer organoids retained the same morphological features and immunomolecular expression as primary tumor tissues.Six organoids showed different drug sensitivities to six chemotherapy drugs,which initially confirmed the feasibility of gastric cancer organoids as a drug screening model in vitro.
