LID - 10.3791/61443 [doi] AB - Tumors expressing programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) interact with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to evade immune surveillance leading to the inhibition of CTL proliferation, survival, and effector function, and subsequently cancer persistence. Approximately 40% of gastric cancers express PD-L1, yet the response rate to immunotherapy is only 30%. We present the use of human-derived autologous gastric cancer organoid/immune cell co-culture as a preclinical model that may predict the efficacy of targeted therapies to improve the outcome of cancer patients. Although cancer organoid co-cultures with immune cells have been reported, this co-culture approach uses tumor antigen to pulse the antigen-presenting dendritic cells. Dendritic cells (DCs) are then cultured with the patient's CD8+ T cells to expand the cytolytic activity and proliferation of these T lymphocytes before co-culture. In addition, the differentiation and immunosuppressive function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in culture are investigated within this co-culture system. This organoid approach may be of broad interest and appropriate to predict the efficacy of therapy and patient outcome in other cancers, including pancreatic cancer.
