Sarcoma Cancer Organoid Models

Sarcomas are derived from mesenchymal cells and are of high malignancy. Many gene mutations in mesenchymal cells result in more than 200 histological subtypes of Sarcoma in this cancer group. Because of its low incidence rate, there is limited biological material and preclinical models for fundamental and preclinical studies. With the development of stem cell methodology, 3D organoid models are generated to represent specific solid tumors in patients and recapitulate native histopathological and genetic features of tumor tissue.

Creative Biolabs offers a valuable system of cancer organoid cultures retaining the biological characteristics of native tumors for large-scale CAR-cell function evaluation in vitro.

Workflow

Key Features of the Organoid Models

Recapitulate the cellular heterogeneity and molecular features of initial tumor tissue
Establishing organoids with stable efficiency, routinely 2-4 weeks
Sarcoma organoids integrated with immune system
Advanced organoid imaging and immunostaining techniques

Culture System

Culture Medium

The optimal culture medium contains basal medium supplemented with crucial and necessary growth factors and signal molecules to maintain cell culture.

Cell Scaffold

We provide various extracellular matrix (ECM) substitutes as a choice, including Basement membrane matrix, collagen-gel, hydrogel, and so on.

Culture Method

The air-liquid interface method, matrix-overlaid method, and other advanced culture methods can be applied to organoid production.

Organoids Characterization

We perform cytomorphology, immunophenotype, and genomic analysis to explain how the established organoids resemble the original sarcoma and find differences in the model.

	Technique	Description
Phenotypic characterization	H&E staining Immunohistochemistry RT-PCR	Sarcoma tumor markers Histological architecture cytomorphology Viability and proliferation
Phenotypic characterization	Whole genome sequencing Whole exome sequencing RNA sequencing	Somatic mutations (Indels, single nucleotide variants, and mutated cancer genes) Copy number alterations
Tumorigenicity	Xenograft	Transplant organoids to NSG mouse/immunodeficient mouse Evaluate tumor development

Subtypes of Sarcoma Cancer Organoids

Sarcoma contains over 200 histological subtypes that belong to two categories, soft tissue sarcomas, and un-soft tissue sarcomas. The organoid models include but are not limited to this.

Subtypes of Sarcoma Cancer Organoids
Epithelioid sarcoma organoid models	Osteosarcoma organoid models
Rhabdomyosarcoma organoid models	Gastrointestinal stromal tumors organoid models
Angiosarcomas organoid models	Leiomyosarcoma organoid models
Liposarcoma organoid models	Myxofibrosarcoma
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans organoid models	Pleiomorphic abdominal sarcoma organoid models

Application of Cancer Organoids to CAR-T Efficacy Tests

We provide CAR-T function assessment using versatile cancer organoids mediated T cell mechanism of action by various experiment assays.

Items	Techniques
T cell migration towards organoids	Trace by GFP reporter
T cell proliferation after recognition of organoid	Trace by GFP reporter, immunostaining of cell subsets
Cytotoxicity	IFNγ secretion, degranulation, LDH release
Organoids survival rate and loss of tumor antigen	Fluorescent microscopy, RT-PCR, and flow cytometry analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What are the advantages of a 3D organoid model?

What are the advantages of a 3D organoid model? Fig.2 Organoid is a physiological related model. (Fitzgerald, et al., 2021)

Retain patient-specific features of the tumor,
Present cell heterogeneity of tumor,
Recapitulate histological structure of tumor,
Easy to use and detect than in vivo model,
Connect the preclinical and clinical research,
The success rate of establishment is higher than the tumor cell line.

Q2. Why do patient-derived organoids and organoid xenografts show some difference in genomic features with initial patient tumors?

The differences between tumor tissue and organoid models may be related to the existence of multiple normal cell types in patient tumor tissues and the genetic alteration in organoids during long-term culturing.
