Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and prevalent tumor of the central nervous system, reaching a survival period of only 15 to 18 months after diagnosis. Although it has been observed that its incidence varies in relation to factors such as age, race or gender, GBM can be developed by any person. Furthermore, the effectiveness of traditional treatments is conditioned by factors such as the tumor microenvironment and the molecular subtype of GBM, making necessary the search for new targeted therapies specific to each patient.
For these reasons, the present research focused on the development of a new preclinical model to study of GBM that is based on chicken embryos ex ovo. According to previous studies of this research group, the GBM human derived cell line GB-39 was selected for the generation of a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) in the brain of chicken embryos.
In this study, we observed that the embryos showed a normal morphological development during all experimental process. It was also possible to confirm, by histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the markers KI67, GFAP and S100B, that the PDX-generated tumors were able to engraft and proliferate, recapitulating the characteristics of human GBM tumors. In addition, analysis with GLAST and CD44 specific markers revealed that the tumors did not exhibit invasive growth patterns or infiltration with epithelial-mesenchymal transition that could lead to metastasis. However, analysis of the microglial cell markers Iba1 and CD11B did confirm moderate microglial activation consistent with normal tumor progression.
Finally, a proof of concept, consisting of the injection and integration of exosomes, was carried out to test the potential of the model in the study of drug delivery. The data collected in this project confirm that the developed model can be used as a preclinical model to test in vivo human GBM treatments, which will contribute to future experimental studies in the field of biomedicine.
