Recent advances have suggested a potential new way in which we may improve on this, through two important concepts: (1) that multitudinous pathway alterations converge on a limited number of cancer cellular phenotypes, and (2) that these cancer cellular phenotypes depend on reactivation of developmental processes that are only minimally active in adult tissues. This provides a rationale for pursuing an approach of 'drugging the phenotype' focussed on targeting reactivated cellular processes from embryonic development. In this concepts paper, we cover these recent developments and their implications for the development of new cancer therapeutics that can avoid patient toxicity and acquired resistance. We then propose that in vitro tumour and developmental models can provide an experimental approach to identify and target the specific developmental processes at play, with a focus on the reactivation of developmental processes in the cancer stem cells that drive tumour progression and spread. Ultimately, the aim is to identify cellular processes that are specific to developmental phenotypes, are reactivated in cancer stem cells, and are essential to tumour progression. Therapeutically targeting these cellular processes could represent a new approach of 'drugging the phenotype' that treats the tumour whilst avoiding patient toxicity or the acquisition of therapeutic resistance.</p>","PeriodicalId":73357,"journal":{"name":"In vitro models","volume":"2 3-4","pages":"83-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10550853/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41123672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike many existing 3D cancer models, the peptide gel is inert, apart from molecules and motifs deliberately added or produced by cells within the model.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Breast cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) were disaggregated and embedded in a peptide hydrogel. Growth was monitored by microscopic examination and at intervals, cells were extracted from the gels and passaged on into fresh gels. Passaged cells were assessed by qPCR and immunostaining techniques for the retention of characteristic markers.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Breast cancer PDXs were shown to be capable of expansion over four or more passages in the peptide gel. Contaminating mouse cells were found to be rapidly removed by successive passages. The resulting human cells were shown to be compatible with a range of common assays useful for assessing survival, growth and maintenance of heterogeneity.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Based on these findings, the hydrogel has the potential to provide an effective and practical breast cancer model for the passage of PDXs which will have the added benefits of being relatively cheap, fully-defined and free from the use of animals or animal products. Encapsulated cells will require further validation to confirm the maintenance of cell heterogeneity, genotypes and phenotypes across passage, but with further development, including the addition of bespoke cell and matrix components of the tumour microenvironment, there is clear potential to model other cancer types.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s44164-023-00048-x.</p>","PeriodicalId":73357,"journal":{"name":"In vitro models","volume":"2 3-4","pages":"99-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10550889/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41171026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
