Abstrakt: Background: Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Although recent therapeutic advancements have provided targeted treatment approaches, the development of resistance and systemic toxicity remain primary concerns. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially those derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), have gained attention as promising drug delivery systems, offering biocompatibility and minimal immune responses. Recognizing the limitations of conventional 2D cell culture systems in mimicking the tumor microenvironment, this study aims to describe a proof-of-principle approach for using patient-specific organoid models for both lung cancer and normal lung tissue and the feasibility of employing autologous EVs derived from induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-MSC in personalized medicine approaches.
Methods: First, we reprogrammed healthy fibroblasts into iPSC. Next, we differentiated patient-derived iPSC into branching lung organoids (BLO) and generated patient-matched lung cancer organoids (LCO) from patient-derived tumor tissue. We show a streamlined process of MSC differentiation from iPSC and EV isolation from iPSC-MSC, encapsulated with 0.07 µg/mL of cytotoxic agent cisplatin and applied to both organoid models. Cytotoxicity of cisplatin and cisplatin-loaded EVs was recorded with LDH and CCK8 tests.
Results: Fibroblast-derived iPSC showed a normal karyotype, pluripotency staining, and trilineage differentiation. iPSC-derived BLO showed expression of lung markers, like TMPRSS2 and MUC5A while patient-matched LCO showed expression of Napsin and CK5. Next, we compared the effects of iPSC-MSC derived EVs loaded with cisplatin against empty EVs and cisplatin alone in lung cancer organoid and healthy lung organoid models. As expected, we found a cytotoxic effect when LCO were treated with 20 µg/mL cisplatin. Treatment of LCO and BLO with empty EVs resulted in a cytotoxic effect after 24 h. However, EVs loaded with 0.07 µg/mL cisplatin failed to induce any cytotoxic effect in both organoid models.
Conclusion: We report on a proof-of-principle pipeline towards using autologous or allogeneic iPSC-MSC EVs as drug delivery tests for lung cancer in future. However, due to the time and labor-intensive processes, we conclude that this pipeline might not be feasible for personalized approaches at the moment.
