A novel patient-derived intra-femoral xenograft model of bone metastatic prostate cancer that recapitulates mixed osteolytic and osteoblastic lesions

Abstract: Prostate cancer metastasizes to bone in the majority of patients with advanced disease leading to painfully debilitating fractures, spinal compression and rapid decline. In addition, prostate cancer bone metastases often become resistant to standard therapies including androgen deprivation, radiation and chemotherapy. There are currently few models to elucidate mechanisms of interaction between the bone microenvironment and prostate cancer. It is, thus, essential to develop new patient-derived, orthotopic mode… Show more

“…Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) are used to address intra-tumor characteristics and drug response since they model the original tumor in a more representative manner than other models such as two-dimensional cell culture [4]. Various PDX study programs have evaluated the take of various PDX models of primary and metastatic PCa [5][6][7], with the use of different immunocompromised strains, sites of implantations (subrenal [8], subcutaneous [9], orthotopic [5], intrafemoral [10]), grafting of biopsies, cells, circulatory tumor cells [11] and patient-derived organoids [9,12]. Nonetheless, the few PCa PDXs which are available and suitable for characterizing androgen dependency in PCa are predominantly from metastasis [13] (e.g.…”

“…With the development of PSA screening, MRI imaging and new prostate biopsies protocols, the accuracy of detection and localization of prostate tumors has been increased, but still 5% of cases present with metastatic lesions at the time of diagnosis [1]. The most common site of metastasis for prostate cancer is bone, and frequently metastasis is symptomatic, with pain, debility, and functional impairment [2]. Therefore, it is important to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression and metastasis of prostate cancer to provide better strategies for the prevention and therapy of prostate cancer.…”

“…This percutaneous injection is simple but does not allow investigators to confirm whether tumor cells indeed stay in the intramedullary space during and after tumor cell injections. Additionally, intrafemoral injection method was previously published [9, 10]. However, details of these methods, including reaming of the intramedullary space and the way to minimize leakage, were not described.…”

“…Moreover, reaming the intramedullary space of the tibia is not done, likely due to the curved anatomical feature of this bone. Although the intrafemoral injection method also showed successful tumor establishment in the femur [9, 10], no publication described details of the procedures to minimize the leakage. Leakage from the bone marrow cavity could alter the onset of tumor formation and result in experimental variation or inconsistency.…”
