Criação de um Modelo de Xenoenxerto Humano mieloma múltiplo na galinha para estudar o crescimento tumoral, invasão e angiogênese
Summary
As células humanas mieloma múltiplo (MM) requerem o microambiente favorável de células mesenquimais e componentes da matriz extracelular para a sobrevivência e proliferação. Nós estabelecemos um modelo vivo de embriões em frango com células de mieloma e mesenquimais humanas enxertados para estudar os efeitos de medicamentos contra o câncer no crescimento do tumor, invasão e angiogênese.
Abstract
O mieloma múltiplo (MM), uma doença maligna de células plasmáticas, permanece incurável e novas drogas são necessárias para melhorar o prognóstico dos pacientes. Devido à ausência do microambiente do osso e factores de crescimento auto / parácrina células MM humanos são difíceis de cultivar. Portanto, existe uma necessidade urgente de estabelecer adequada in vitro e em sistemas de cultura in vivo para estudar a acção de novas terapias em culas do MM humanos. Aqui é apresentado um modelo para crescer as células de mieloma múltiplo humano num ambiente 3D complexo in vitro e in vivo. Linhas celulares de MM OPM-2 e meio RPMI-8226 foram transfectadas para expressar o transgene GFP e foram cultivadas na presença de células mesenquimais humanas e de colagénio do tipo I como matriz esferóides tridimensionais. Além disso, os esferóides foram enxertados sobre a membrana corioalantóica (CAM) de embriões de galinha e o crescimento do tumor foi monitorizado por meio de microscopia de fluorescência estéreo. Ambos os modelos permitem o estudo do romance dru terapêuticogs em um ambiente 3D complexo e a quantificação da massa de células de tumor após a homogeneização dos enxertos em um GFP-ELISA específicos do transgene. Além disso, as respostas angiogénicas do hospedeiro e a invasão de células tumorais para o tecido hospedeiro subjacente pode ser monitorizado diariamente por um microscópio estéreo e analisadas por coloração imuno-histoquímica contra células humanas de tumor (Ki-67, CD138, vimentina) ou células hospedeiras murais cobrindo vasos sanguíneos (desmina / ASMA).
Em conclusão, o sistema onplant permite estudar o crescimento de células MM e angiogénese num ambiente 3D complexo e permite o rastreio de novos compostos terapêuticos que visam a sobrevivência e proliferação das células do MM.
Introduction
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, bone lesions and immunodeficiency 1. Although new treatment options such as proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib) and immune modulatory drugs (pomalidomide and lenalidomide) are available, MM still remains an incurable malignancy with a grim prognosis 2. The bad prognosis might be explained by the extraordinary heterogeneity of MM cell clones that contributes to variable responses to therapy, in particular under long time treatment and selection pressure of MM clones 3.
Preclinical testing of new drugs and their combinations in vitro and in vivo is a critical and time-consuming step for future drug development. Thus, useful in-vivo models of MM are required to gain a better understanding of the biology of the disease and to enable the discovery of new drugs. Actually, the best xenotransplantation models for hematological malignancies and therapeutics are immune-deficient mice, such as the severe-combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice 4-7, the non-obese diabetic/SCID (NOD/SCID) mice 8,9 or the β-microglobulin-knockout NOD/SCID mice 10,11.
Although murine models of human MM in some aspects can resemble the phenotype of human disease, immune-deficient mice are inbred, therefore simulate only one individual response to a drug and costs are very high. Due to immunosuppression animals require special maintenance conditions and the engraftment of human MM in mice requires 6 weeks to 2 months 9,12, unless cells are grafted directly to the bone marrow using a technically demanding procedure with lower rates of animal survival 7,13. Therefore, new methods using stem-cell based organoid models 14, tissue engineering 15 or sophisticated 3D cell culture models 16 have been established. They will compete in the near future with classical animal experiments for preclinical drug testing, but cannot replace systemic toxicity tests in living organisms.
The chicken embryo has been demonstrated before to be a suitable organism for xenotransplantation of human cells and tissues due to lack of adaptive immune response until hatching 17-19. Moreover, each chicken embryo reflects an individual reaction to applied drugs or tumor cells due to genetic diversity within the chicken population. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a well-established system to study tumor-dependent angiogenesis 20-22. When solid tumors are grafted to the CAM, they display many characteristics of cancers in vivo, including proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis 23-27.
Based on the previous experience of our group with CAM xenograft models20,26,27, a human MM model was established that combines the advantage of a human 3D culture system with the model of ex ovo developing chicken embryos. This MM model system allows real time monitoring of MM growth progression, quantification of cell mass and preclinical drug testing.

Discussion
O desenvolvimento de novos agentes terapêuticos para refractário MM requer menos demorado e caro sistemas in-vivo para avaliar a sensibilidade de culas de MM humano para drogas. Até à data, poucos sistemas in vivo estão disponíveis para a avaliação pré-clínica de novas terapias anti-mieloma. Todos eles têm as suas limitações para o rastreio em larga escala de bibliotecas de compostos 29.
Os melhores modelos atuais para células MM humanos são altamente ratos imunodeficientes 7,…
