Integrated -Omics Analyses Demonstrate that Patient-Derived Colon Organoids Faithfully Recapitulate the Tumor Tissue of Origin, Highlighting Altered Pathways in Colorectal Cancer Progression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: methodically characterize colorectal cancer patient-derived organoids, at the molecular level, under different culturing conditions, by evaluating genomic, transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic profiles in order to define their ability to stably recapitulate patients-derived tissues features. Outcome: integrated molecular and bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that PDCOs faithfully recapitulate the tumor tissue of origin. Our results indicate that the in vitro culture of biopsy-derived organoids does not introduce substantial variation in the genomic landscape of CRC but still promotes the expansion of the more aggressive subset of cancer cells. In conclusion, our findings strongly support the use of CRC organoids as a novel and very promising and stable tool for personalized medicine that could represent a powerful alternative to animal experimentation in vivo.
