Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent advance in sequence technology has enabled comprehensive analyses of genetic mutations in human colorectal cancer. In this study, we combined organoid culture technology and CRISPR-Cas9 technology to establish gene engineered organoids for analysis of genetic mutations in human colorectal cancers. The engineered organoids were xenotransplanted into immune-deficient mice and pathologically examined for their invasive and metastatic capacity. The functional analysis platform for driver genetic mutations are instrumental and holds a promise for applying to drug screening.
