Abstract
Although significant improvements have been made in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, its prognosis remains poor with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. New experimental approaches are necessary to develop novel therapeutics. In this study, the investigation of pancreatic cancer tissue growth in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model and the subsequent use of indocyanine green ...
Although significant improvements have been made in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, its prognosis remains poor with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. New experimental approaches are necessary to develop novel therapeutics. In this study, the investigation of pancreatic cancer tissue growth in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model and the subsequent use of indocyanine green (ICG) injections for the verification of intratumoral perfusion was conducted. ICG was injected into the CAM vasculature to visualize the perfusion of the tumor tissue. The presence of metastasis was investigated through PCR for the human-specific ALU element in the liver of the chicken embryo. Additionally, the usage of cryopreserved pancreatic tumors was established. Intratumoral perfusion of tumor tissue on the CAM was observed in recently obtained and cryopreserved tumors. ALU-PCR detected metastasis in the chick embryos’ livers. After cryopreservation, the tissue was still vital, and the xenografts generated from these tumors resembled the histological features of the primary tumor. This methodology represents the proof of principle for intravenous drug testing of pancreatic cancer in the CAM model. The cryopreserved tumors can be used for testing novel therapeutics and can be integrated into the molecular tumor board, facilitating personalized tumor treatment.
