Macrophage-Organoid Coculture Model Development Service
Creative Biolabs offers a specialized model development service that explores the intricate crosstalk between macrophages and cancer cells, particularly in enabling cancer cells to acquire stem-like properties and develop chemoresistance. This service leverages our expertise in cell culture and model construction to bridge the gap in understanding the dynamics between these cells. By establishing a coculture model between cancer organoids and macrophages, we aim to unravel the underlying mechanisms of their interactions and provide invaluable insights for potential clinical applications.

Macrophage-Organoid Coculture Model Development Service at Creative Biolabs
Creative Biolabs' macrophage-organoid coculture model development service takes advantage of coculturing technologies to mimic the disease microenvironment in vitro, which acts in an essential position in therapeutic strategy development. This innovative method could revolutionize our understanding of disease mechanisms and lead to groundbreaking advancements in personalized treatments. By utilizing the enzymatic dissociation of diseased tissues into single cells and transwell inserts to separate macrophages and organoids, our service enables the evaluation of compound efficacy through various cellular responses such as cytokine release and cell migration.
Furthermore, our macrophage therapeutic platform includes a set of matured technologies, such as flow cytometry, western blot, etc. Backed up by these advanced technologies and our competent research team, Creative Biolabs is confident in delivering customized macrophage-organoid coculture models with good performance in a shorter turnaround.

Background:
|
Gemcitabine resistance (GR) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma is influenced by interactions with macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. Investigating this relationship could lead to the discovery of innovative treatment strategies for addressing GR in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
|
|
Method:
|
Research is conducted to assess the impact of macrophage stimulation on gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Co-cultures involving patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from three PAAD cases and macrophages were implemented. Through analyzing data from various sources, including cytokine arrays, genomic databases, and single-cell sequencing data, researchers are able to uncover the signaling factors involved in the crosstalk between macrophages and pancreatic cancer cells, providing valuable insights into gemcitabine resistance mechanisms.

Result:
|
This study emphasizes the importance of utilizing the PDO model for preclinical research and precision medicine. It reveals a macrophage-CCL5-Sp1-AREG feedback loop that enhances stemness in PCCs, contributing to GR through the activation of the CCR5/AKT/SP1/CD44 pathway. The synergistic effect of gemcitabine and mithramycin presents a promising therapeutic approach for PAAD treatment in various models, including cell lines, PDOs, and mouse studies.
