The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a method for culturing primary cells of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma and auxiliary reagents.
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors that seriously threaten human health. China is a country where gastric cancer frequently occurs and the incidence and death of gastric cancer account for 42.6% and 45% of the global incidence and death of gastric cancer respectively. The incidence of gastric cancer in China is 11.8%, which is the fourth place among all malignant tumors. The death of gastric cancer is 22.0%, which is the fifth place among all malignant tumors. The incidence of gastric cancer will keep increasing with the development of economy, growth in the living standard and lifestyle change. Furthermore, there is a high the risk in the recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer. Different degrees of recurrence and metastasis will occur to more than 50% of gastric cancer patients within months to years after radical treatment.
Gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are common malignant tumors of a digestive system occurring at gallbladder, bile duct and intrahepatic bile duct sites, including gallbladder cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and the like. The overall incidence of gallbladder and bile duct related malignant tumors in China is about 3%, in which cholangiocarcinoma accounts for 2%, ranking the fifth among malignant tumors of a digestive tract in China. Although the incidence is not high, all gallbladder and bile duct related cancers are extremely malignant, and cholangiocarcinoma is even called the “king of liver cancer” and the “king of cancer”. For unresectable gallbladder cancer, the median survival time is only 8 months.
Although scientific research and medical institutions all over the world have invested heavily in the research on the etiology, occurrence and development processes of gastric cancer, gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, little is known about this diseases. Gastric cancer, gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are complex diseases, and their occurrence and development are a dynamic process which involves the interaction of numerous signaling molecules and forms a complex molecular regulating network; moreover, this process is also affected by external environmental factors. We cannot generalize the etiology, occurrence and development process of gastric cancer, gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, which are highly different among individuals. Therefore, it is a trend to use primary cell cultures of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma as models for individualized accurate research in the research field of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, and even in the field of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.
The existing primary tumor cell culturing technologies mainly include 2D culture, 3D culture, reprogramming culture and so on. These methods are facing the problems of extremely long culture cycle, low culture success rate, difficult removal of impurity cells and the like.
To effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a new method for culturing primary cells of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma and auxiliary reagents. The core of the technology is that: (1) the solid tumor tissues of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are treated with a mild cell dissociation reagent to ensure the vitality of cancer cells in tissues to the greatest extent; the primary tumor cells of gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma in a bile sample are isolated by a mild method to ensure the vitality of cancer cells to the greatest extent; (2) a special serum-free medium is prepared, and tumor cells of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are cultured in vitro by a suspension culture system to eliminate the interference of normal cells to the greatest extent while ensuring normal amplification of cancer cells.

The operation methods and processes of primary culture of all samples in this embodiment were identical (as mentioned above), the CYTOP modification methods were identical, and the only difference was the cell culture consumable material (Table 39).
Wherein the CYTOP modification method was that: firstly, pure oxygen etching was performed on the cell culture vessel at a power of 20 W for 3 minutes. Then the surface of a culture dish or culture plate was covered with an appropriate amount (taking a 96-well plate as an example, with 20 μL per well, an appropriate amount refers to complete coverage of the bottom of the culture dish) of 1% CYTOP solution, and the vessel could be used after the CYTOP solution was completely dried in the air.
It can be seen from Table 39 that CYTOP modification can improve the success rate for culturing samples greatly.
