Functional analysis of circulating tumour cells: the KEY to understand the biology of the metastatic cascade

Zahra Eslami-S et al.

Summary: Metastasis formation is the main cause of cancer-related death in patients with solid tumors. This process involves the escape of cancer cells from the primary tumor to the bloodstream, where they become circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Only a small subgroup of CTCs will survive and colonize distant sites. Analyzing these metastasis-competent CTCs is challenging due to their low concentration in peripheral blood, but a few research groups have successfully expanded CTCs in vitro and in vivo to serve as models for comprehensive analysis. These models have revealed the complexity and variability of the metastatic cascade, opening new avenues for diagnostic and therapeutic advancements.

Single-Cell Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells Isolated from Cryopreserved Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients with Lung Cancer and Sarcoma

Summary: Isolating CTCs from cryopreserved PBMCs allows for retrospective enumeration and molecular characterization, with EpCAM-independent strategies performing equally in capturing CTCs. Cells isolated from frozen PBMCs are representative of CTCs from whole blood and long-term storage does not affect CTC recovery efficacy. Detection of target mutations is feasible in CTC-enriched samples derived from stored PBMCs, offering potential for personalized therapy and multicenter studies.

Summary: This study successfully isolated CTCs from a colorectal cancer xenograft model and investigated their biological features and drug sensitivity through organoid generation. The results showed that CTC-derived organoids exhibited a hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal transition state and increased expression of stemness-associated markers. Additionally, CTC-derived organoids were more sensitive to drugs affecting the Survivin pathway. These findings contribute to a better understanding and prevention of colorectal cancer metastasis.

Summary: The importance of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is widely recognized, but the detailed biological characteristics of CTC in the bloodstream have not been extensively studied due to the limited availability of CTC cell lines. Previous studies have focused on successful cell culturing methods and establishing long-term cultures of CTC, but a universal method for establishing CTC cell lines has not been developed yet, as it depends on the specific characteristics of each cell type. Further research efforts are required to address this issue.

Mechanistically, the upregulation of mitotic genes during the rest phase enables CTCs' metastasis proficiency. Circadian rhythm hormones such as melatonin, testosterone and glucocorticoids dictate the generation dynamics of CTCs, and insulin promotes tumor cell proliferation in a time-dependent manner.
