- Abstract
- Background/Aim: Because there are ongoing efforts to identify and develop novel drugs in the treatment of refractory gastric cancer, it is necessary to develop effective preclinical studies. Here, the preclinical efficacy of gastric tumor xenograft (GTX)-derived cell line models for the personalized treatment of gastric cancer was investigated. Materials and Methods: Anti-cancer drugs were scanned with high-throughput screening (HTS) using preestablished GTX-derived cell lines. The efficacy of a selected drug (afatinib) was re-confirmed in vivo and intracellular signaling pathways were investigated in xenograft tumor cell lysates using western blotting. Validation studies, such as cell proliferation and caspase activity assays, were also conducted in vitro with GTX-derived cell lines. Results: HTS indicated that afatinib was effective in one of the five GTXderived cell lines (GTX-087). A xenograft mouse model was established from GTX-087, and administration of afatinib at 1 mg/20 g body weight/day per oral resulted in tumorsuppressive activity in vivo. The RAS-ERK pathway was inactivated by an increase in Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in this xenograft model. In vitro cell proliferation assay also revealed that afatinib was able to suppress the growth of the GTX-087 cell line. Caspase activity assay confirmed that afatinib had an apoptotic role on GTX-087 and showed that caspase-3/7 activity increased in a time dependent manner. Conclusion: The GTX-derived cell line model might be useful for estimating novel drug responses and could be an alternative to patient-derived xenograft animal models. © 2022 International Institute of Anticancer Research.
