Abstract:
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) detection could be considered a real-time “liquid biopsy” approach and contains several advantages such as being minimally invasive, easy and safe to perform, multiple samples can be taken over time, better prognosis to indicate an elevated risk of metastases, improved therapy monitoring, and providing live disease status information. CTC analysis is a promising new diagnostic field for estimating the risk for metastatic relapse and metastatic progression in patients with cancer. However, the number of CTCs is very low so the establishment of cell culture from CTCs becomes the most challenging over the past year. In this study, we development a cost-effective and reproducible in vitro system for primary CTC cultures or established cell lines from CTCs. 8 CTC cell lines were generated from patients including breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and expanded for more than one year. These cell lines exhibit the tissue-specific markers and also correlated with clinical treatment response from patients. This system provides an opportunity for broad applications of CTCs for personalized oncology and advancing precision medicine.
