Abstract:
What's new? Patient‐derived xenografts (PDX) models offer a promising preclinical tool. Here, the authors established the largest bank of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) PDX models with a high and stable tumor take rate that recapitulated the key clinical and molecular characteristics of primary tumors. The tumor take rate was associated with expression of cancer stem cell proteins, lack of tumor encapsulation, poor differentiation, advanced stage, overall survival, and time to recurrence in patients. The models were used to identify MAP3K1 expression as an indicator of patient response to sorafenib treatment. PDX models are valuable surrogates for HCC patients and could facilitate translational research.
