Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cancer Research
  • Organoids-on-a-chip Technology

Background:

  • Tumor metastasis is a primary cause of cancer patient mortality.
  • Accurate in vitro models for metastasis are crucial for personalized therapies but are currently limited.
  • Existing Transwell devices primarily detect cell migration, not complex metastatic processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced organoids-on-a-chip platform to precisely evaluate tumor metastatic potential.
  • To engineer a novel Transwell system that mimics horizontal tumor cell migration into surrounding tissues.
  • To demonstrate the platform's utility for patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and preliminary drug screening.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a Transwell-integrated organoids-on-a-chip platform (TOP).
  • Design of a novel hexagon-shaped Transwell chamber to simulate in vivo metastasis.
  • Evaluation of tumor organoids and metastatic clusters at protein, genetic, and phenotypic levels.
  • Proof-of-concept drug screening using the developed platform.

Main Results:

  • The TOP platform successfully models tumor metastasis in vitro using patient-derived organoids.
  • The hexagon-shaped Transwell chamber effectively mimics horizontal tumor cell migration.
  • Comprehensive analysis confirmed the platform's ability to assess metastatic potential.
  • Preliminary drug screening demonstrated the platform's therapeutic application potential.

Conclusions:

  • The tumor-metastasis-mimicked TOP platform offers a novel approach for evaluating tumor metastatic potential.
  • This technology facilitates the development of personalized cancer therapies.
  • The platform shows promise for advancing cancer research and drug discovery.
