Abstract
Background. Analyzing the sensitivity of patient-derived tumor organoids to anti-cancer medications shows great potential for tailoring personalized treatment plans.
Aim. To obtain two prostate tumor organoid cultures, optimize the composition of culture medium, and to evaluate
the efficacy of the chemotherapeutic drug docetaxel using the obtained organoid cultures.
Materials and methods. The initial tissue was dissociated using the gentleMACS Octo homogenizer. The obtained cells were cultured in Matrigel with different culture media for selection of the optimal one. Cell viability and growth rates were assessed using the MTS assay.
Results. In this study, we successfully obtained two organoid cultures of prostate cancer cells and identified the most effective composition of culture medium. Using a cytotoxic test, it was shown that the obtained organoid cultures of prostate cancer cells had different sensitivity to docetaxel which was reflected in different inhibition of the tumor cell growth rate.
Conclusion. The utilization of prostate cancer organoids to determine the best treatment approach is a highly promising experimental technology. Nevertheless, additional research is required before integration of this technology into clinical practice.
