中文摘要
背景:结直肠癌(CRC)是一项日益严峻的挑战,早发发病率上升,且年轻个体中死亡率高。由于其复杂性,治愈性结局仍难以实现。虽然化疗和靶向药物仍是标准治疗,但免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)和工程化CAR-T正作为有前景的治疗选择不断发展。
目的:本文报道Aryastha BioSolution®的开发,这是一个整合的患者来源肿瘤-免疫类器官平台,旨在预测CRC的治疗应答。该平台的机制界面能够对各种药物、ICI和过继细胞疗法进行并行评估,同时捕捉决定治疗敏感性和耐药性的患者特异性肿瘤-免疫相互作用动态。
实验步骤:从手术切除的结直肠肿瘤建立患者来源肿瘤类器官(PDTOs),并在3D环境中维持。用人等效剂量的奥沙利铂和卡培他滨处理PDTOs,通过活/死染色测定肿瘤杀伤。PDTOs还与人免疫细胞(PBMCs或工程化CAR-Ts)共培养72小时。使用延时活体成像追踪肿瘤-免疫结合动态和治疗诱导的类器官杀伤。培养72小时后通过IFN-gamma和趋化因子水平测定ICI和CAR-T的调节效应及其炎症反应。
结果:早期传代PDTOs保留了亲本肿瘤的核心基因组和表型特征,包括点突变、拷贝数改变、微卫星(MSI)谱,以及活力(Ki67)和组织病理学特征。对标准治疗(SOC)方案的评估显示,PDTO敏感性与PET-CT测量的临床治疗结局显著相关。共培养实验显示ICI处理的PBMCs和CAR-T具有独特的浸润和杀伤轨迹,其特征为强健的细胞溶解活性和接近50%的肿瘤体积缩减。我们在应答者PDTOs中发现IFN-gamma和促炎趋化因子增加。基因组谱(MSI-H/MMRd、肿瘤突变负荷、转录组谱)以及使用这些功能读数的肿瘤反应性,凸显了应答与非应答的机制,与其已知的临床趋势一致。
结论:PDTO平台有效弥合了传统模型无法克服的转化鸿沟。Aryastha BioSolutions®提供了一个临床对齐的药物应答系统,捕捉CRC的表型多样性,并划分区分应答者与非应答者的生物学特征,从而实现合理的治疗组合。该平台的高转化性使其能够加强临床试验设计,并个体化标准及新兴免疫治疗方法。

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an emerging challenge, with rising early onset incidence and high mortality among younger individuals. Curative outcomes remain difficult due to its complexity. While chemotherapy and targeted drugs remain standard, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and engineered CAR-T are advancing as promising therapy options.
Objectives: Here we report the development of Aryastha BioSolution®, an integrated patient-derived tumor-immune organoid platform designed to predict therapeutic responses in CRC. The mechanistic interface of this platform enables parallel assessment of agents, ICI, and adoptive cell therapies, while capturing patient specific tumor-immune interaction dynamics that underlie treatment sensitivity and resistance.
Experimental procedure: Patient Derived Tumor Organoids (PDTOs) were established from surgically resected colorectal tumors and maintained in 3D milieu. PDTOs were treated with human equivalent doses of Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine and tumor killing was measured by live/dead staining. PDTOs were also co-cultured with human immune cells (PBMCs or engineered CAR-Ts) for 72 hours. Dynamics of tumor-immune engagement and therapy-induced organoid killing was tracked using time-lapse live imaging. Modulatory effects of ICI and CAR-T and their inflammatory responses were determined 72 hours post-culture by IFN-gamma and chemokines levels.
Results: Early passage PDTOs retained the core genomic and phenotypic landscape of parent tumors, including point mutations, copy-number alterations, microsatellite (MSI) profile, as well as viability (Ki67) and histopathology signatures. Evaluation of SOC regimens showed that PDTO sensitivity markedly correlated with clinical treatment outcomes as measured by PET-CT. Co-culture assays showed distinct infiltration and killing trajectories of ICI treated PBMCs and CAR-T, characterized by robust cytolytic activity and close to 50% tumor volume reduction. We identified augmented IFN-gamma and proinflammatory chemokines in responder PDTOs. Genomic profile (MSI-H/MMRd, tumor mutational burden, transcriptomic profile) and reactivity of tumor using these functional readouts underscore the mechanism of response and non-response which align with their known clinical trends.
Conclusions: The PDTO platform effectively bridges the translational gap that conventional models fail to overcome. Aryastha BioSolutions® provides a clinically aligned drug-response system that captures the phenotypic diversity of CRC and delineates the biology distinguishing responders from non-responders, enabling rational therapeutic combinations. The platform's high translatability positions it to strengthen clinical trial design and personalize both standard and emerging immunotherapy approaches.
