Heterogenous chemosensitivity of a panel of organoid lines derived from small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of the uterine cervix is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The lack of established disease models has hampered therapy development. We established a panel of organoid from patients of SCNEC of the uterine cervix. Sensitivity assays against clinically used drugs revealed remarkable variations between the lines, and we successfully identified specific gene sets which likely contribute to the sensitivity to the tested drugs. Of note, we found one line which was exceptionally sensitive to irinotecan, and investigated the mode of action in the case. Chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity assays using SCNEC CTOS lines obtained from primary patient samples with a high success rate may provide useful information for treating SCNEC.
