Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to establish a mouse model of biliary tract cancer as PDOX. Using microsurgical techniques, patient-derived biliary cancers were transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice. After the tumor grew, the tumor fragments were transplanted into the intrahepatic bile duct (liver) and extrahepatic biliary system (bile ducts and gallbladder) as PDOX by surgical suture fixation. Good engraftment and enlargement were observed within 2 months. In conclusion, the direct transplantation model to the liver (intrahepatic bile duct) was considered to be a simple model with high versatility and reproducibility in terms of technical ease and good engraftment.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究での胆道癌PDOXモデルは、胆道癌全般における理想的動物モデルとして用いることで、臨床で有効性が高い新規治療薬・治療法の開発研究が可能となる。また個々の患者においてはその未来を予測する動物モデルとして用いることが可能であり、治療法を事前に試して効果判定を行った後に実際にその患者に行うという真の個別化医療が可能となる。
