Establishment and characterisation of testicular cancer patient-derived xenograft models for preclinical evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies

Abstract: Testicular cancer (TC) is the most common solid tumour in young men. While cisplatin-based chemotherapy is highly effective in TC patients, chemoresistance still accounts for 10% of disease-related deaths. Pre-clinical models that faithfully reflect patient tumours are needed to assist in target discovery and drug development. Tumour pieces from eight TC patients were subcutaneously implanted in NOD scid gamma (NSG) mice. Three patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of TC, including one chemoresistant model, w… Show more

“…Patient-derived TGCT models such as patient-derived xenograft (PDX) 50 52 have been recently used to evaluate chemosensitivity. In cisplatin-resistant TGCT PDX models, combined treatment with mTORC1/2 inhibitor and cisplatin led to the reduction of tumor growth 53 , validating that PI3K/Akt/mTORC pathway is one of the reasons for cisplatin resistance in TGCT.…”
