Tumor Organoid-CAF Co-Culture Model

Cat. No.: ROTC-2603-CXX-001

Description: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key regulators of the tumor microenvironment, promoting tumor cell proliferation, drug resistance, invasion, and metastasis through the secretion of factors such as TGF-β, HGF, and IL-6. CAFs also contribute to tumor progression by supporting angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, remodeling the extracellular matrix, suppressing anti-tumor immunity, and inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells. Consequently, targeting CAFs has emerged as a promising strategy in anticancer drug development.

Product Details

Species Human
Product Type Organoid-on-a-Chip
Disease Cancer
Organoid Characterization In the co-culture system, expression of the mesenchymal marker vimentin is significantly upregulated, indicating enhanced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Compared to organoid mono-cultures, organoids co-cultured with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit increased resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.

Application

Applications Supports efficacy testing of CAF-targeted therapies, mechanistic studies of tumor drug resistance, and investigation of invasion and metastatic mechanisms.

For preclinical research and development use only; not intended for therapeutic or other applications.
