BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) exhibits marked inter-patient heterogeneity, limiting empirical chemotherapy efficacy. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models preserve the molecular features of parental tumors and can serve as pharmacodynamic surrogates, but conventional subcutaneous PDX suffers from low engraftment rates. This study evaluated an optimized intramuscular PDX platform for individualized drug testing in GC and applied whole exome sequencing (WES) for biomarker identification (Clinical trial registry: ChiCTR-OOC-17012731).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-eight treatment-naive GC patients were enrolled between April 2018 and December 2020. Fresh tumor tissues were engrafted into NCG mice by intramuscular transplantation. Drug efficacy was evaluated using tumor cell necrosis rate and Ki-67 expression. WES was performed on 32 engrafted tumorgrafts to characterize driver mutations in fast- and slow-growing subgroups.
RESULTS: An engraftment rate of 71.7% (43/60) was achieved, substantially exceeding rates reported in prior studies. Clinical characteristics were independent of engraftment success and outgrowth time (all p > 0.05). Fast- and slow-growing tumorgrafts diverged in frequently altered genes: KMT2C, APOB, CDK12 and MSH2 predominated in fast-growing grafts, whereas TP53, CHD3 and TET2 were enriched in slow-growing grafts. Slow-growing tumorgrafts correlated with longer progression-free survival (p = 0.02). PDX-guided treatment was associated with improved prognosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Intramuscular transplantation into NCG mice yields high engraftment rates for GC PDX. PDX-guided chemotherapy selection is associated with favorable outcomes. Driver mutation divergence between fast- and slow-growing tumorgrafts provides candidate prognostic biomarkers.
