Featured model - Orthotopic glioblastoma mouse model

01 / 07 / 2020

Our syngeneic glioma mouse model, based on the intracranial inoculation of Luc2-expressing GL261 cells and bioluminescence imaging for tumor growth monitoring, represents a suitable tool for chemo- and immunotherapy assessment. It closely mimics the human disease in terms of tumor progression and anti-tumor response, and recapitulates glioblastoma characteristic features including among others tumor immune cell infiltration and tumor-induced immunosuppression.

Model responsiveness to standard Temozolomide and immune checkpoint inhibitors i.e. anti-CTLA4, anti-PD1, and anti-PDL1 antibodies, makes it well-suited for testing candidate compounds for their efficacy, as single agents and/or in combination, in promoting anti-tumor activity.

To deal with this level of complexity, it’s therefore critical to benefit from technological platform allowing for specific investigation in compartments of interest (eg. tumor vs stroma). Thanks to the GeoMx® platform (Nanostring Inc.), which combines the spatial resolution of immunohistofluorescence with the high-plex gene/protein expression analysis, the Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) revolution has started.
