Example 2 acquisition of surgical specimens of primary carcinoma of gastric cancer and liver metastasis
1. In cooperation with a three-dimensional hospital, samples are obtained in the form of a clinical study initiated by a researcher, and the cooperation is developed through regular medical ethical examination.
2. The attending physician selects the group of patients according to clinical indications prescribed by the medical guidelines, and selects the appropriate sample for in vitro culture according to the intraoperative clinical indications, the criteria for selection of the sample are: primary gastric cancer accompanies liver metastasis, and patients with primary tumors and liver metastasis are excised simultaneously in surgery, and the weight of both specimens exceeds 20 mg specimens.
3. All cases in the group are uniformly coded by adopting a mode of sample collection date and four positions after patient hospitalization number, for example, samples provided by 1 month and 1 day in 2020, and the patient hospitalization number is T001537474, and then the sample experiment number is 202001017474. And concealing information related to privacy of the patient, such as the name, the identification card number and the like of the patient. The hospital provides the sample with basic clinical information such as sex, age, medical history, family history, smoking history, pathological staging, clinical diagnosis, etc.
4. After tumor tissue is isolated in operation, a sample collection technician collects a fresh sample in an operating room sterile environment, and the collected sample needs to select a part with abundant fresh blood vessels, so that the part with poor cell activity such as necrotic tissue, adipose tissue, fibrotic tissue and the like is avoided. The collected sample was placed in a sample preservation solution (see example 1) pre-cooled at 4 ℃. The sample holding tube containing the sample is temporarily stored on ice and transported to a laboratory for the next operation within 12 hours, and the temperature is controlled to be 2-8 ℃ during the transportation.
Example 3 pretreatment for dissociation of tissue samples
The following operations are performed on ice, and the whole operation steps are completed within 10 minutes.
The surgical instruments used in the following operations all need to be sterilized by high-temperature steam (120 ℃ for 20 minutes) in advance and can be used after being dried.
1. After weighing the sample, the surface of the sample was rinsed with medical alcohol (75% by volume) for 10 to 30 seconds.
2. The sample was washed 5 times with the sample wash and 5 times with sterile PBS solution.
3. The adipose tissue, connective tissue and necrotic tissue in the sample are carefully peeled off by using an ophthalmic scissors, an ophthalmic forceps, a surgical knife and other devices.
Example 4 tissue sample dissociation
The surgical instruments used in the following examples were sterilized by high-temperature steam (120 ℃ C., 20 minutes) and dried before use.
1. The tissue was cut into small pieces of about 0.5mm 3 with an ophthalmic scissors.
2. Tissue was treated with a sample dissociation solution (see example 1), 1 mL sample dissociation solution was used for tissue with a sample size of no more than 0.5mg, and 0.1 mL sample dissociation solution was added for each 0.1mg increase in tissue weight for a sample size of more than 0.5 mg. Sample dissociation solution treatment condition is 37 ℃, and dissociation time is 1 hour. Dissociation of the sample was observed under a microscope every 15 minutes during dissociation until most cells were observed to be shed from the tissue.
3. The dissociation reaction was stopped with 10 volumes of digestion stop solution (see example 1), and after the cell suspension was filtered through a 100 μm sterile cell screen to remove tissue debris and adherent cells, the supernatant was discarded by centrifugation at 800 g for 10 minutes at room temperature.
4. Cells were resuspended in 5 mL sterile PBS, centrifuged at 800 g for 10 min at room temperature and the supernatant discarded.
5. Cell pellet was resuspended in gastric cancer liver metastasis microtumor model medium (see table 8 in example 1), cell counted, trypan blue staining was used to determine cell viability, and cell inoculation culture was performed with isolated cell viability greater than 70%.
Example 5 cultivation of a micro tumor model
1. The low adsorption surface (low-adsorption-surface) was used for suspension culture of gastric cancer primary focus and liver metastasis micro tumor model, wherein the culture medium used was the gastric cancer liver metastasis micro tumor model culture medium in Table 8 of example 1 (wherein the final concentration of human recombinant protein EGF was 50ng/mL, the final concentration of human recombinant protein bFGF was 20ng/mL, the final concentration of human recombinant protein HGF was 20ng/mL, the final concentration of human recombinant protein Noggin was 100ng/mL, the final concentration of human recombinant protein R-spondin was 400ng/mL, the final concentration of human recombinant protein FGF-10 was 20ng/mL, the final concentration of human recombinant protein Wnt-3a was 200ng/mL, the final concentration of SB202190 was 10.

The inoculated cells were cultured at 37℃under 5% CO 2 in a cell incubator.
2. The state of the cells was observed every day until the cells formed a mass with a diameter of about 100 μm, after which the medium was changed every 2-3 days to maintain the growth state of the gastric cancer micro-tumor.
As shown in FIG. 1, during the first 48 hours of culture, many different types of cells from cancer tissue spontaneously aggregate, self-assembling to form a 100 μm-sized cell mass structure, which we call a micro-tumor model. The total number of micro tumor cell clusters can reach 10 5-106. Through a large number of sample tests, the success rate of the micro tumor model culture of the gastric cancer primary focus and liver metastasis focus operation sample can reach 70%.

The primary lesion of gastric cancer and the metastatic lesion of liver of the same patient were cultured with three media of Table 8 (inventive medium), table 26 (control medium 1) and Table 27 (control medium 2), respectively, and the number and size of the micro-tumor were observed, and the results obtained are shown in Table 28 and Table 29.
Table 28, culture conditions of gastric carcinoma primary focus
It can be seen that the three media had the same success rate of culture when the gastric cancer primary samples were cultured, but the number and size of cell clusters (i.e., the microtumor model) obtained by the culture of table 26 (control 1) were more advantageous.
Table 29, liver metastasis of gastric cancer culture conditions
It can be seen that the culture medium (invention) in Table 8 has a higher success rate of cultivation in the micro-tumor culture of liver metastasis compared to that of primary foci. Meanwhile, the medium (the present invention) in Table 8 has lower cost due to simpler composition.
