Application of Lung Cancer Models

Mechanisms Study

Lung cancer models are used to study the molecular and genetic changes that lead to the onset and progression of cancer and are critical to identifying potential therapeutic targets.

Drug Development

Lung cancer models are used to test the effectiveness and safety of new drugs. Predict the effect of treatment in a clinical setting by simulating the human lung cancer environment.

Personalized Therapy

With advances in genomics, lung cancer models can tailor treatments to specific cancer features, thereby improving treatment outcomes.

Screening & Metastasis

Lung cancer models can help discover biomarkers of early diagnosis and understand how lung cancer spreads to other parts of the body.

How to Choose the Right Model?

By combining in vivo and in vitro models, the biological characteristics, drug response, and treatment strategies of lung cancer can be comprehensively and multilevel studied, and the development of lung cancer therapies can be accelerated.

Services for lung cancer therapy development.

Drug Screening

In vitro models (e.g., cell lines, organoids) are suitable for high-throughput screening, while in vivo models (e.g., PDX, GEMMs) are suitable for validating efficacy.

Mechanism Studies

In vitro models (such as 3D culture and co-culture) are suitable for studying cellular and molecular mechanisms, while in vivo models are suitable for studying tumor microenvironment and systemic effects.

Personalized Medicine

PDX and organoid models can preserve the heterogeneity of patients' tumors and are suitable for the development of personalized treatment programs.

Immunotherapy Research

Immune humanized models and co-culture models are suitable for studying the effects and mechanisms of immunotherapy.

Workflow of Lung Cancer Model Development

The development process of lung cancer models varies depending on the type of model (such as humanized animal models, gene-edited mouse models, etc.). Alfa Cytology provides development services for common lung cancer models, including but not limited to the following.

Humanized Animal Model Development Process

01

Select Immunodeficient Mice

Use immunodeficient mice (such as NSG, NOG mice) that lack functional T cells, B cells, and NK cells.

02

Rebuild the Human Immune System

  • Hematopoietic stem Cell transplantation (HSCT)
  • Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) transplantation
03

Tumor Transplantation

Transplanting human lung cancer cell lines or patient-derived tumor tissue (PDX) into humanized mice.

04

Model Validation

  • Detect the reconstitution of human immune cells in mice.
  • Assess the dynamics of tumor growth and immune cell infiltration.
05

Application and Data Analysis

Used to test the efficacy of immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T cell therapy.

Genetically Engineered Mouse Model (GEMMs) Development Process

01

Target Gene Selection

Select driver genes associated with lung cancer (EGFR, KRAS, TP53, ALK, etc.).

02

Gene Editing Design

Design gene editing strategies using CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN, or Cre-LoxP systems.

03

Organoid Expansion and Passage

Regular generation expansion of organoids to establish a stable organoid bank.

04

Model Validation

Verify whether organoids retain features of the original tumor through histological, genomic, and transcriptomic analysis.

05

Application and Data Analysis

For high-throughput drug screening, personalized medicine, and mechanism research.

Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) Model Development Process

Patient Tumor Sample Acquisition

Obtain fresh tumor tissue from surgery or biopsy of lung cancer patients.

02

Tumor Tissue Treatment

The tumor tissue is cut into small pieces and initial treatment is performed (e.g. removal of necrotic tissue).

Transplanting tumor tissue subcutaneously or in situ (e.g. lungs) into immunodeficient mice (e.g. nude mice, NSG mice).

04

Model Building and Generation

Monitor tumor growth, and when the tumor reaches a certain volume, remove it and transplant it into a new generation of mice to establish a stable PDX model.

05

Model Validation

Through histological, genomic and transcriptomic analysis, verify that the PDX model retains the pathological and molecular features of the original tumor.

06

Application and Data Analysis

For personalized drug screening, biomarker discovery, and drug resistance mechanism research.
