HCI-004 breast cancer PDX

Breast cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model, HCI-004, one of a collection of 53 models spanning aggressive, metastatic, and treatment-resistant subtypes, that recapitulates key characteristics of original patient tumour. This model was generated from a sample of breast tumour from a Hispanic female, 55 years old with a primary diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC). The patient had no history of smoking, had not undergone systemic treatment or radiation therapy prior to collection, and had no clinical metastasis detected.

Product description: Human breast cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model that retains high fidelity to original tumour, including spatial structure, intratumour heterogeneity, genomic features, tumour growth rate, metastatic patterns, and drug responses. These highly translatable PDX models can be used to more accurately assess therapeutic efficacy and predict patient responses in preclinical drug validation studies than traditional models. This panel of PDX models includes some of the deadliest forms of breast cancer such as drug-resistant, metastatic tumours, and endocrine-resistant estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor positive (HER2+) tumours. Sample collected in 2009 from breast tumour of Hispanic female, age 55 at time of collection with a primary diagnosis of IDC; 2009. Patient had no history of smoking, had not undergone systemic treatment or radiation therapy prior to collection, and had no clinical metastasis detected. Patient and PDX characteristics were as follows – ER status: negative, PR status: negative, HER2 status: negative. PDX information: PAM50 subtype is basal-like, PTEN positive by IHC, and shows no metastasis.
Initial handling information: Implant into the cleared inguinal mammary fat pad of female Immune-compromised mice (NOD.SCID) or NGS. Time to grow NOD.SCID to 1cm: 4 months. NGS: 5 months (up to 2cm)
Additional notes: Additional Information on PDX establishment: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43018-022-00337-6/figures/9
Mice Passaged: Yes
Engraftment Site: Cleared mammary fat pad
Sample Type: Tumour fragments
Host Strain: Immunocompromised mice NOD scid gamma (NSG) Jackson Laboratory 5557; NOD/scid, Jackson Laboratory 1303 or NOD rag gamma (NRG), Jackson Laboratory 7799
Histology: PAM50 subtype Basal-like
Production details: Fresh or thawed human breast tumour fragments were implanted into the cleared inguinal mammary fat pad of female Immune-compromised mice. For bone metastasis samples, bone fragments were coimplanted. For liquid specimens, pleural effusion, or ascites fluid, 1-2 milion cells were injected into cleared mammary fat pads in Matrigel. For ER+ tumours, mice were dosed with E2 beeswax pellets and given supplemental E2 via drinking water. When tumours reached 1-2 cm in diameter, tumours were aseptically collected and reimplanted into new m ice or banked. Estrogen-independent ER+ breast PDX models were generated when ER+ PDX tumours were transplated into overiectomized mice without E2 supplementation.
