Abstract
Introduction
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide and there is a great need for a method of accurately identifying drugs for individualized therapy, especially for those with existing drug-resistant prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates >190,000 new cases and >33,000 mortalities from PCa in 2020 (1). Of newly diagnosed PCa, ~81% will be localized (2). The primary recommended treatment for newly diagnosed localized cancer is radiation, radical prostatectomy, brachytherapy, or active monitoring for those with low risk (3). Patients with localized but high-risk disease are recommended to have surgery with lymph node dissection or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with radiation. Those with metastatic disease are recommended ADT and possibly radiation (3). Although treatment with ADT has high initial response rate, resistance will most likely occur within a year (4). Subsequently, these metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancers (mCRPC) are usually treated with androgen receptor targeted therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or bone targeted therapy such as bisphosphonates, RANKL antibody, alpha-emitting calcium mimetic for osseous metastases (3–5).
Newly diagnosed mCRPC has a low 5-year survival rate of only ~30% (6). Although there are 6 chemotherapeutic agents approved for mCRPC, the average improvement in overall survival is only ~4.8 months (Table I) (7,8). In view of the poor survival outcomes of patients of mCRPC, more effective treatment modalities are needed.
One approach of improving treatment can be a personalized medicine treatment plan based on specific genetic lesions. In the past few decades, genotypic screening for mutated genes that lead to inherited predisposition to cancer have been developed for several conditions (9–11). For PCa, germline genetic testing is currently recommended if there is personal and family history, Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and BRCA 1/2 and Lynch syndrome mutation (3). However, genetic testing in the absence of family history will provide a low yield for PCa (3). Furthermore, patients may not benefit from screening due to variants with uncertain significance, missed mutations, or lack of mutation-specific intervention (7). Testing for somatic mutation in tumors is used in the hope of identifying possible targets for therapy. However, this approach is limited by the uncertainty in predicting response based on mutations and the availability of interventions (8).
Another approach for personalized or individualized therapy is explored in the current review: Phenotypic or empiric drug screening. This is similar to the concept of antimicrobial susceptibility testing, in which specific antimicrobial agents that will be most effective for individual patients are identified (12). In cancer therapy, a living organoid biobank that matched the wide varieties of breast cancer phenotypes, including histopathology, hormone receptor status and oncogene activation, such as HER2, was described by Sachs et al (13). Such an organoid biobank may allow in vitro phenotypic screening for cancer treatment. In addition, an organoid biobank can be a promising model for drug discovery, biological insights and translational and clinical research (14,15). Thus, a PCa model that can accurately represent an individual's tumor and its microenvironment will be useful for screening for effective therapies. Such a model is especially applicable for PCa clinical therapeutic strategy since it is a relatively slowly growing cancer.
In the current review, three potential screening models for prostate cancer will be reviewed and the ideal model that can apply to the treatment of mCRPC will be discussed: Conditional reprogramming cells, patient derived xenografts and organoids. Their experimental conditions, advantages and disadvantages and what could be improved to achieve the most effective screening for individualized PCa therapy are discussed below.
Anticancer chemotherapy screening for individualization of therapy
Model requirements
Individualizing anticancer chemotherapy is best facilitated via a model that can accurately represent the tumor of the patient and its progression, such as from being localized to exhibiting metastases. Such cancer screening models need to take into consideration the complexity of the tumor and its microenvironment to best replicate the in vivo environment in vitro. It is impossible with the current in vitro technology to completely mimic the in vivo conditions. However, the following features are considered essential and should be included in a representative in vitro model.
Heterogeneity of expression
PCa tumors are heterogeneous with variations in genetic abnormalities, gene expression, epigenetic regulation and responses to therapeutics (7). Prostate cells are also normally dependent on testosterone and have androgen receptors (AR) (16–19). Normal development as well as cancer growth and survival is effected by AR (20). While including all these variations in a dynamic manner is impossible with current in vitro technology, a good in vitro model should incorporate as a number of these characteristics as possible.
Cell types
The prostate gland is made of epithelial and stromal cell types. Epithelial cells include luminal and basal cells (21,22). Secretory products are released into the gland lumen by luminal cells. Luminal cells and ductal structure are derived from basal cells (23). Studies have suggested that luminal and basal cells are sporadically bipotent and have stem cell-like properties (24–26). Basal cells are more efficient at forming organoids and providing self-renewal, whereas luminal cells are more ready to differentiate into ducts and acini. PCa can be derived from both cell types (7,27,28) and also, rarely, from neuroendocrine cells (29–34). While each model may not need all of these cells, it is important that the type of cells that correspond to each individual's unique cancer is exhibited in a model.
Stromal interactions
There is a fibromuscular stroma consisting of smooth muscle, fibroblasts and elastic fibers. In addition, there are blood vessels, peripheral nerves, macrophages and white blood cells (29,34). A co-evolution is undergone by tumor cells and the associated stroma. Growth factors and proteases are released by cancer cells, causing angiogenesis and inflammation, activating the surrounding stroma, which in turn secretes additional growth factors, proteases and pro-migratory extracellular matrix (ECM) components (Table II) (35,36). The stromal cells are influenced by cancer cells to become more supportive of tumor progression, which can in turn, increase the malignancy of cancer cells or progression to becoming drug- and castration-resistant (35–37). Cancer cells are highly heterogeneous due to genomic instability and selection pressure from the microenvironment (37). Another phenomenon based in interaction with the immune system and the microenvironment is immune escape. It is the failure of the immune system to eliminate cancer, allowing it to continue developing into metastatic cancer (38). Tumor cells may lose their antigenicity through immune selection, lose their immunogenicity through expressing immunoinhibitory molecules, or by creating a suppressive microenvironment for immune cells (38,39). While it may not be currently possible to replicate all the stromal interactions with cancer cells, the components representing key signals and relevant factors released by the stromal cells should be added to the growth medium.
Conditional reprogramming (CR)
Primary cells in culture usually undergo senescence, a cessation of proliferation and changes in the metabolism and phenotype of the cells after a few passages (40). Thus, unlike microorganisms, direct culture and sensitivity approach utilized for identifying specific antimicrobial agents may not work for cancer therapeutic screening. Although numerous immortal cancer cell lines, including PCa cell lines such as PC3, LnCap, DU145 have been developed and have been routinely used for initial drug development purposes, they may not be representative of the primary tumor and lack 3D structure and broad representation of different tumor types and subtypes (7,16–18,41–49).
In the past decade, long term proliferation without changing most of the fundamental genetic makeup and expression of cells has been made possible by a newly developed approach called conditional reprogramming (CR) (44,48,50). Establishment of cultures of almost all types of epithelial cells is enabled by CR. Considerable interest has been generated in its possible applications such as establishment of disease models, therapeutic drug assessment and new platforms for basic and translational research (48).
Culture condition
CR cells, which can be disaggregated human or patient derived xenograft (PDX) primary cells (48), are co-cultured with inactivated mouse 3T3-J2 fibroblasts as feeder cells and RHO-related protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y-27632 (Fig. 1). [The digested cells will also need pathological evaluation to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells (48)]. J2 fibroblasts are given a dose of irradiation or treated with mitomycin C (2–4 µg/ml) to stop their proliferation. These cells are used as a feeder cell layer for physically contact with primary cells (51). Alternatively, a conditional medium with J2 feeder cell secreted factors can be used (44). Apoptosis and differentiation is inhibited by ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 (48). Stem-like characteristics and the ability to fully differentiate can be observed from this co-culture (40). The establishment of tissue cultures with this method appears to be highly efficient (40,44).
Advantages
The advantages of CR is that it is simple, rapid and has a high rate of success (88–100% success rate for some cells) (40,44,52–54). For example, the primary tumor or normal epithelial cells obtained from prostate surgery biopsy and undergoing CR culture can generate 2×106 cells or reach confluence in ~5 days (40). Cells can also proliferate for long periods while still maintaining much of the genetic makeup, gene expression and heterogeneity of the primary cells from the biopsy (40,55–57). Thus CR cells can allow for drug sensitivity screening and testing after 5 days (57–59). Culturing cells of carcinoma of the lung in a patient using conditional reprogramming and then determination of drug sensitivity, leading to the selection of an effective therapeutic agent, was reported by Yuan et al (60). Such an approach can be an important advance for individualized therapy (48).
CR can be used to create 2D cultures, spheroids and organoids (40,48,52,53,55,61) and can be implanted into an animal to create PDX models (56,62). In reverse, cell cultures can also be propagated from PDX and organoid cultures (44). CR can also be used to create biobanks due to its ability to generate inexhaustible cell populations (40,44). The cells' ability to differentiate are restored by removal of the CR conditions (40,52,55,63), which allows the possibilities for regenerative medicine investigations (53).
Disadvantages and possible solutions
A drawback is that CR cells, when in a stem-like state, do not have the same characteristics as the primary cancers. Normally, prostate tissue has basal cell marker P63 and AR, but these are not expressed in CR primary human prostate cells (41,64). Some of the irradiated 3T3-J2 feeder cells are not arrested in cell proliferation, as they should be, and can transform to become malignant and gain cancer-like characteristics in vivo (65–67). ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 can also alter the actin cytoskeleton, which is involved in migration and invasion of tumor cells (55). Instead of irradiation, some studies inactivate 3T3-J2 feeder cells using mitomycin C, so there may be biological differences in CR (51,68,69). Thus, at present, CR cells are not suitable for modeling PCa due to the culture components having unwanted influences. More research could be done to optimize take rates as well.
In the future, several improvements will need to be made. To improve the take rate in vitro, combining CR with 3D culture to provide the best conditions for improved differentiation and recognition of normal cells was suggested by Liu et al (70). In addition, prevention of normal epithelial cell over proliferation, which could outcompete cancer cell proliferation, can be improved by using human fibroblasts instead of mouse fibroblasts in CR. Using human fibroblasts does not support long term in vitro proliferation of non-cancer cells, such as normal airway and lung epithelial cells (48), so further research on this technique for PCa may improve PCa cell take rates.
A phenotypic evaluation and selection of tumor cells was suggested by Wu et al (48). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting can be used to identify certain cell markers specific to the tumor. Selecting for the tumor cells would prevent the overgrowth of normal cells, supporting improved proliferation and take rate of tumor cells. DNA sequencing and tumor-specific antibodies can also be used to select for tumor cells (48). Use of differentially expressed surface molecules could identify and help isolate specific cells, although more research is needed on this method and to describe the phenotypic profiles of specific cell types (29).
Patient derived xenograft model (PDX model)
A PDX model is established by transplanting patient tissue into immunocompromised mice, which can be athymic nude mice, severe compromised immunodeficient (SCID) mice, non-obese diabetic (NOD)-SCID mice and recombination-activating gene 2 (Rag2)-knockout mice (16,71). Recently, NSG (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ) mice are preferred because there is also a deficiency in innate immunity (72).
Culture or growth condition. Prostate tissue samples are usually transplanted sub-renal capsule and supplemented with testosterone and mouse seminal vesicle mesenchyme (16) (Fig. 2). Mouse seminal vesicle mesenchyme implanted along with PCa tissue is able to mimic the stromal microenvironment and androgen secretion to support prostate cell differentiation and proliferation (73,74). The ideal transplantation site is one similar to the origin of the tissue, but mice have limited capacity in the pelvic region (16). Instead, the tissue is transplanted under the renal capsule due to its rich vasculature (37,75,76).
Advantages
Similar tissue histology, heterogeneity, major markers and genetic profile and expression to individual human PCa are shown in PDX models. Due to these similar features, PDX can also predict metastatic potential and drug response of the human tumor, deeming it suitable for drug screening and validation (16,44,77–79). Addition of testosterone can increase the establishment and help growth of PCa (80); although establishment rates (10%) are still low (80,81). With testosterone supplementation and transplantation with seminal vesicle mesenchyme, increases of graft establishment to >90% have been reported (77,82). In addition, aggressiveness and growth of grafted tumors has been found to correlate with worse clinical outcomes (77).
Genome changes and the phenotypic markers similar to the primary cancers obtained from clinical PCa patients can be shown in PDX models. Loss of PTEN and RB1, amplification of AR and TMPRSS2-ERG fusion gene are often seen in PDX models (16). In addition, similar to the original tumor, AR, prostate specific antigen, prostate-specific membrane antigen and alpha-methylacyl-CoA-racemase are expressed in these models (16). Stromal and vascular components (7) and some interactions within the tumor microenvironment (16) between stromal components and epithelial tumor cells are also displayed in PDX models (44). Hormone dependence or independence can be partly simulated and the transition from hormone dependence to independence can be simulated (16,77,83,84). Most importantly, similar treatment responses in patients have been shown in PDX models (16,78,85,86). For example, the LuCaP PDX model series, which has 21 successfully established PDXs, is been shown to display similar responses to the corresponding clinical patients (81). While there are a number of articles finding that PDX models correlate with clinical responses (86–88), there are few that describe PDX screening followed by a clinical trial, which is a co-clinical trial. Reviews by Gao and Chen (85) describe a good correlation in treatment responses between initial PDX screening and subsequently individual patients for a wide variety of cancers, but not prostate cancer. Some studies also include integration of genomic data with PDX model to identify precision treatment (89,90). For example, xenografts from patients with BRAF wild-type metastatic melanoma recapitulate the treatment response to digoxin plus trametinib in such patients (125).
Due to its similarities to clinical PCa, PDX can be a useful model for studying the biology and progression of PCa, validation of screening for effective therapies for individual cancers and drug development. PDX can be grown and passaged for long periods, allowing tumor progression and stages to be observed and used for drug and other therapy testing (16,81).
Disadvantages and possible solutions
Despite the advantages described above, one important disadvantage of the PDX model is the expense due to the high maintenance cost of mice and long (2–5 month) ‘incubation’ period (16,44).
The second disadvantage is that PDX models are not easily genetically modified or used for high-throughput drug screening assays (85). Development of cell lines from PDX models would allow easier high-throughput drugs screenings and genetic modification, but this is challenging due to overgrowth of stroma and limited differentiation potential, especially if it is under CR conditions (44,57). There is also a replacement of human stromal components with those of the mice (91) with time. Since PDX lacks human immune cells, the model is not suitable for immunotherapy studies.
To address the problem of immunotherapy study in the PDX models, human hematopoietic stem cells have been transplanted into the immunodeficient mice to create a human-like immune system (16,92,93). There are various approaches to improve the generation of the human hematopoietic/immune system and the reduction of graft vs. host disease (94). The technology is still evolving and the cost of producing humanized mice is substantial.
The third disadvantage is that fresh surgical or biopsy material is needed to establish a PDX (16,95). In the future, the circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the tumors that are released into the vasculature may be utilized. Collecting CTCs is like a ‘liquid biopsy’ that is safe and does not require an invasive procedure (96). However, there are a number of concerns which will need to be resolved. For example, CTCs often have undergone epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, which has a downregulation of epithelial markers. In addition, epithelial cell adhesion molecule, which is used to isolate CTCs, may not be expressed in subtypes of cancer (16,97,98). Last, it is often difficult to isolate sufficient number of CTC for PDX and the lack of associated stromal cells may reduce engraftment potential.
The final disadvantage is that although PDXs can predict metastatic potential, the occurrence and development of PCa metastases cannot be simulated. Most models do not spontaneously metastasize (16). It is also well recognized that some primary tumors only have a minority of cells with metastatic ability (77). Shi et al and Nguyen et al further suggested that PDX models should match different stages of a patient's disease and that they be treated in parallel (16,81). Careful evaluation of histological cell types, signalers and receptors to match PDX and patient disease stage can be explored in future research.
In summary, despite the a number of suitable features with the PDX model, its long growth time, costly upkeep, biopsy sample requirement and the absence of a human stroma and a human immune system (unless humanized) are disadvantages. The model can be used for individualized evaluation of drug treatment but not for high throughput screening for therapeutic discovering and development.
Organoid model
Culture condition
An organoid is a 3D model of tissues in vitro that mimics the in vivo organ from which the cells originated. The cells can be from benign and cancerous enzymatically digested prostate tissue, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or stem cells and from PDXs (7,17,85,96,99–101) (Fig. 3). Although CTCs are generally difficult to obtain, they are more abundant in metastatic cancers (102). PDXs can be a source for cells when there is limited patient cancer tissue.
Organoids are grown in Matrigel, a 3D gel made of basement membrane proteins, to support cells growth and differentiation. Generic serum-free media for all organoids with prostate-specific growth factors are also used (7) (Tables III, IV and V) (103–114). The complex matrix environment is set to be similar to that in vivo, to allow easy propagation of cells. Such conditions should provide more reliable drug testing responses (16,115).
Advantages
The utility of organoids in PCa research and therapy assessment not only allow high throughput drug testing and screening (95,116), but also can be useful to study basic biology in early stage cancers, identify drug targets and study drug resistance (44). Additionally, further research options can be explored in cryopreservation of organoids (19).
The key advantage is that the diverse histological and genetic features in primary noncancer or PCa tissues can be recapitulated in organoids. Specifically, the 3D culture system allows the self-organization of organoids and luminal and basal cell architecture and AR signaling can be retained (27). This model also can be genetically modified using several genome editing techniques (27,41,117). It can be used for in vitro studies and can be transplanted in vivo for xenografts studies (27,100,118). Notably, organoids can produce similar responses to therapies as those in patients (99).
Organoids derived from PDX tissues can be conveniently transplanted into mice for long term growth study (119,120). One specific advantage of PDX-derived organoids is improved cost efficiency, especially for high throughput drug screens, while PDX models are not practical (7,99). However, PDX tissue can be an additional source of tissue for organoid establishment when the primary tissue, is scarce. Lastly, the PDX-derived organoids are easier to genetically modify when compared to PDX (85).
Another practical advantage is that organoids can be detected within 2–3 days of plating while small cystic organoids are observed from luminal cells after 5–7 days (118). Organoids can have a high culture take rate for certain types of cells, e.g., more advanced or aggressive PCa, which allows side by side comparison and evaluation between organoids and human primary tumor (119).
Disadvantages and possible solutions
Despite the studies showing that organoids and patient cancers have similar responses to therapies (121–123), the translation organoid studies to clinical cases needs to be further verified (16). The first disadvantage of organoids is its lack of blood vessels, immune cells and its need for ECM substitutes (16). Since cancer cell growth is effected by the microenvironment, lack of such microenvironment could affect cell polarity, organization, migration and invasion (120).
To improve the microenvironment, there have been developments to include immune cells in the microenvironment with organoids. In addition, Richards et al co-cultured PCa with prostate fibromuscular stroma, increases organoid formation and directs organoid growth into branched acinar structure, similar to that seen in vivo (112). In addition, light-mediated patterning technologies are used to create gradients of these biochemical cues to imitate the spatio-temporal patterns seen in vivo (124). It is hoped that these will be applicable to prostate organoids in the future (103–105).
A possible second disadvantage is having foreign factors such as the ECM substitute (16) and not having elements similar to the human microenvironment which may affect drug screening results. Although media components are able to effect organoid growth and allow recapitulation of important features of the original tumor, there may be an underrepresentation of biochemical signals, such as growth factors. Due to this, organoids may not completely reflect real-life growth. There is variability of components between fetal bovine batches (106). The role and differences of components between batches of Matrigel (107,108) is still unknown. Matrigel matrix and FBS also may have components that effect experimental outcomes. Steps are being made to more closely imitate the microenvironment and to improve the matrix. There is development of Matrigel matrix alternatives (109,110) and medium alternatives (111).
The third disadvantage is that although organoid cultures from mouse and human prostate tissue can be established with >95% efficiency (19). Due to having the small amount of starting tissue and normal epithelial overgrowth, the establishment rates are only 15–20% for advanced PCa (19,118). Puca et al (95) also established 3/30 organoids. Among the prostate basal cell and luminal cell cancers, the establishment rates are ~70% from basal cell and 1–2% from luminal cell PCa (27). Long term propagation may be difficult for certain organoids, e.g., those basal cell-derived (41,99,100,118). To improve and maintain long term growth, fresh medium <2 weeks old with well tested and stored growth factors and chemicals should be used. Histological examinations may also help detect the overgrowth of normal epithelial cells.
The fourth disadvantage at present is the problem with high heterogeneity. Growth rate and morphology of organoids from advanced PCa can vary between tumors of different patients as well as tumors from the same patient (118). There is a need to match patient, tumor and model, such as by using genomic analysis. A larger organoid biobank (7) can be useful in the future to provide genomic analysis improve the stratification of the organoids and correlate them with patient samples and data.
Summary and future perspective
Although the ideal drug-testing model for individualized cancer therapy screening is difficult to construct or establish, of the current 3 models, the PDX model and organoid model are more suited for use in culture and drug sensitivity testing for individualized PCa therapy (Table VI). There is continuing research to mimic the microenvironment more closely, which includes immune cells and fibromuscular stroma. Using light-mediated patterning technologies to mimic patterns of biochemical cues can further improve these models (112,124). Cell cultures could be the first step to explore if the immune cells are able to react to the target cells (by killing and/or elaboration of cytokines) that are supposed to express the appropriate antigen.
Despite the existing shortcomings associated with the PDX and organoid models, further development of a biobank with cryopreserved organoids can be an important step to overcome the shortcomings for practical application. Together with careful histological examination, DNA sequencing and tumor immunophenotyping can be used to characterize the tumor sample of a given patient and match it with a specific organoid in the biobank. Once the organoid is matched and selected, screening of several potentially effective compounds can be performed to identify the best therapeutic candidate. Afterwards, further verification of in vivo efficacy can be conducted with the PDX models. This approach can be applied to existing approved drugs or to investigational agents. This combined organoid-PDX approach should be especially applicable for PCa, which is usually a more slowly progressing cancer that can benefit from such culture, drug sensitivity and verification testing before selecting the drug or combination for patient treatment. Such culture/drug sensitivity testing may be especially useful for drug resistant cancer. While there is no published success story of the proposed approach from organoid to PDX and subsequent confirmation with a clinical trial, there are successes from PDX to patient efficacy as well as potential use of genetic mouse for drug screening (13,86–88,125–129). In view of the lack of practicality of using PDX or other mouse models for rapid drug screening, incorporation of the initial step using organoids can be a distinct advantage. Future exploration with pre-clinical trials using combined organoid and PDX models may pave the way toward discovering novel agents, repurposing FDA approved drugs or specific combinations or new sequencing of agents for precision treatment of resistant prostate cancer.
