Bladder Cancer Organoid (BCO) Models

Cancer organoid is a prevailing in vitro model to study the mechanism of tumorigenesis and serves as a clinically related, easy-to-use tool to test the sensitivity of drugs and immunotherapeutics for cancer treatment. Creative Biolabs has developed a cancer organoid platform, including various cancers, to evaluate CAR‐T cells mediated killing against solid tumors. The patient-derived bladder cancer organoids resemble the heterogeneity and biological characteristics of tumor tissue of origin and can be used to predict CAR-T therapeutic responses in vivo.

Bladder Cancer Organoid Subtypes

Multiple subtypes of bladder cancer organoids consist of a high throughput platform for CAR-T efficacy tests.

Types of bladder cancer and derived organoids

Type Organoids Subtypes Organoid Identification
  • Invasive bladder cancer (MIBC)
Luminal Luminal markers
CK20
Uroplakin II
GATA3
  • Epithelial marker E‐cadherin
  • Proliferation marker Ki67
  • Non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)
Basal Basal markers
CK5
P63
CD44

Culture Medium

  • Classic medium complement with growth factor, R‐spondin 1 and noggin, can support patient-derived bladder cancer cultivation.
  • Other formulas with different molecules and growth factors can be explored for customized needs.

Tumor Marker Identification in Organoids

All bladder cancer-related protein antigens are tested to determine the antigen profile of established organoids using specific antibodies.

Techniques
Immunohistochemistry Fluorescence Microscopy
Potential Targets
B7‐H3 vEGFR2 CEACAM5 HER2 FRα GD2
PSCA MSLN PD‐L1 CD44v6 PSMA EGFRvIII

Our Bladder Cancer Organoids-based CAR-T Efficacy Test Service

Bladder cancer organoids and CAR-T cells cooperate in the co-culture system to test the response of BCOs to immunotherapies in vitro. Specific killing of CAR-T is assessed using cytotoxic assays and ELISA test of cytokine secretion.

Case Study

Utilizing Bladder Cancer Organoids as a Model to Evaluate CAR-T Cell Function
Organoids Source: cystectomy specimens from patient
Organoid name: invasive bladder cancer organoids
Identified target antigen: MUC1
CAR-T cells Cell name: second generation MUC1 CAR‐T cells
Control cells: CD19 CAR‐T cells
Results of efficacy test
  • MUC1+ organoids are deformed and lysed after co-culturing with MUC1-targeted CAR-T cells.
  • Directional moving of anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells towards MUC1+ cancer organoids.
  • LDH release and cytokines secretion is significantly increased from MUC1+ organoids when incubated with anti-MUC1 CAR-T cells.
