Outline of Final Research Achievements

We established rapid and effective protocols for making individual Cancer Xenograft (iCX). In the iCXs, morphological characteristics, gene expression profiles, and genetic alteration patterns were all well preserved. In colorectal cancer iCXs, Collagen gel droplet embedded culture-drug sensitivity tests (CD-DST) were performed. The CD-DST results between original and iCX specimens were generally correlated (R2=0.01-0.89). The result of CD-DST using iCX was compatible with clinical effects of anti-cancer drug. Zinc finger protein 185 (ZNF185) is one of proteins selected from proteome analysis utilizing cancer xenograft models. We also analyzed the association between ZNF185 and the clinicopathological characteristics of colon cancer. ZNF185 expression was found to be an independent indicator of liver metastasis and prognosis in patients with colon cancer. Our iCXs with clinical information are a promising advance that may accelerate the development of anticancer therapies.
