Establishment and characterization of a sigmoid colon cancer organoid with spinal metastasis

BackgroundSigmoid colon cancer with spinal metastases is rare in distant metastasis. In addition, the prognosis of colon cancer patients with spinal metastases is extremely poor. In order to find effective therapeutic agents, we need to know the biological characteristics of such patients from relat...

description BackgroundSigmoid colon cancer with spinal metastases is rare in distant metastasis. In addition, the prognosis of colon cancer patients with spinal metastases is extremely poor. In order to find effective therapeutic agents, we need to know the biological characteristics of such patients from related models.MethodsWe collected sigmoid colon cancer tissue from a young female subject who was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer with multiple spinal metastases. We successfully established a sigmoid colon cancer organoid using this tissue and investigated drug screening in the patient. HE staining, immunohistochemistry, and DNA sequencing were utilized to compare the biological characteristics between the original tumor and the organoid. Furthermore, we investigated the drug screening of the sigmoid colon cancer organoid in vitro.ResultsA colon cancer organoid from sigmoid colon cancer with spinal metastases was successfully established. The organoid culture maintained the morphological features, histological features, and genomic landscape of the corresponding sigmoid colon cancer cells. Moreover, we performed drug screening tests to evaluate the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted drugs.ConclusionThe sigmoid colon cancer organoid with spinal metastases was a favorable preclinical model to explore the clinicopathologic characteristics of colon cancer patients with spinal metastases.
