Angiogenesis is one of the hallmark features of malignant tumors in which cancer cells proliferate faster, and nutrients are required to meet cell proliferation, while metabolic waste is also required, so that new blood vessels are required to be formed, ensuring that tumor tissue grows exponentially.
The tumor organoid model has high simulation, has histological characteristics and functions similar to those of human organs, can better retain the advantages of tumor heterogeneity and the like in the tumor model, and has wide application prospect in the fields of accurate medical treatment, drug screening and the like. However, the static in vitro culture lacks vascular structures and cannot simulate complex microenvironment and dynamic characteristics in vivo, and a vascular network is an essential microenvironment factor for malignant tumor research and has close relation with tumor occurrence, growth and metastasis.
During tumor progression, endothelial cells in the pool or vessel proliferate and migrate to form vessels on or within the tumor tissue. Blood vessels are an important part of the tumor microenvironment, and research has been directed to the vascularization of tumor organoids, such as: chinese patent CN 115927164B discloses a method for culturing vascularized tumor organoids and application thereof, in particular discloses a method for preparing biopsy tissue into mixed cell clusters, then culturing tumor cells and endothelial cells by using the mixed cell clusters, finally placing the tumor cells and endothelial cells in a tumor organoid culture medium containing matrigel for 3D co-culture (culturing in a 48-well plate), culturing vascularized tumor organoids, which have the following defects, forming a vascular network in tumor tissue through angiogenesis after the tumor tissue grows to a certain size in vivo, but the above patent co-cultures the endothelial cells and the tumor cells, which are static culture, lack dynamics characteristics, and cannot accurately represent vascularization of tumor organoids in vivo. Chinese patent CN 111218401A discloses a new blood vessel formation and drug evaluation method based on tumor chip, in particular discloses a channel for respectively inoculating tumor cells and endothelial cells on two sides, wherein matrigel is infused in a middle channel to culture a 3D co-culture system for forming sprouting blood vessels of tumor 3D cells and endothelial cells, and the method can only observe the migration phenomenon of endothelial cells and tumor cells to matrigel and cannot accurately represent vascularization of tumor tissues in vivo. Nashimoto, and the like, by using a 3-channel microfluidic chip, a tumor sphere which is cultured in advance is placed in a middle channel, and endothelial cells are inoculated in other two channels for culturing (Nashimoto,Y.,Okada,R.,Hanada,S.,Arima,Y.,Nishiyama,K.,Miura,T.,&Yokokawa,R.(2020).Vascularized cancer on a chip:The effect of perfusion on growth and drug delivery of tumor spheroid.Biomaterials,229,119547.),, although the method can provide dynamic characteristics, in the culturing process, the microvessels only exist on two side surfaces of the tumor sphere, and microvessels which surround the tumor sphere are not really formed, and the vascularization of tumor tissues cannot be accurately represented.

2. Test method
2.1 Morphological observations of vascularized tumor organoids

2.2 Immunological identification of vascularized tumor organoids
After vascularized ovarian cancer organoids in the chip are formed, the culture medium is removed, and the treatment is carried out according to the conventional cell immunofluorescence staining steps, which are simply described as follows, the vascularized ovarian cancer organoids are fixed, the vascular ovarian cancer organoids are transparent, antigen is repaired, primary antibody is incubated, secondary antibody is incubated and sealed, after the sealing, the vascular ovarian cancer organoids are observed and photographed by using an inverted fluorescence confocal microscope (FV 1000, olin Bass Co., ltd.), F-actin is filiform actin, and is commonly used for searching for the distribution and local directional change of filiform actin of cytoskeleton; EPCAM is commonly used to label ovarian cancer cells as one of the biomarkers for early detection and prognosis of ovarian cancer; CD31 is a platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule that is widely present in blood cells as well as vascular endothelial cells, and is commonly used to demonstrate the presence of junctions between endothelial cells and to assess angiogenesis; DAPI, 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, is a fluorescent dye capable of binding strongly to DNA, and is commonly used for locating nuclei.
3. Test results
3.1 Morphological identification of vascularized tumor organoids
The morphology of the vascularized ovarian cancer organoids in example 1 is shown in fig. 5 and 6, wherein fig. 5 and 6 are morphology diagrams of the same vascularized organoids under bright field and immunofluorescence, respectively, the yellow dotted line in fig. 5 is labeled as ovarian cancer organoids, and the green fluorescence signal in fig. 6 represents the labeled protein F-actin of cytoskeleton; blue fluorescent signal indicates DAPI-labeled nuclei. From fig. 5 and 6, it can be seen that endothelial cells are reticulately distributed around the ovarian cancer organoids and have complex interconnecting and bifurcation structures, exhibiting similar characteristics to blood vessels in vivo, indicating that endothelial cells form a vascular network around the ovarian cancer organoids.
3.2 Immunological identification of vascularized tumor organoids
FIGS. 7 and 8 show the distribution of ovarian cancer cells and endothelial cells in a vascularized ovarian cancer organoid according to example 1 of the present application. The green fluorescent signal in fig. 7 represents the marker protein EPCAM of ovarian cancer cells; red fluorescent signal indicates the marker protein CD31 of vascular endothelial cells; blue fluorescent signal indicates DAPI-labeled nuclei; the green fluorescent signal in FIG. 8 represents the cytoskeletal marker protein F-actin; red fluorescent signal indicates the marker protein CD31 of vascular endothelial cells; blue fluorescent signal indicates DAPI-labeled nuclei.
FIG. 9 is a graph showing the vascularized breast, bladder and liver organoids of comparative example 1 (green fluorescent signal for endothelial cells, red fluorescent signal for tumor cells, blue fluorescent signal for nuclei).
FIG. 10 is a vascularized tumor pellet of comparative example 2 (red fluorescent signal for endothelial cells, yellow fluorescent signal for MCF-7 breast cancer cells, blue fluorescent signal for fibroblasts).
As can be seen from fig. 7, in the vascularized ovarian cancer organoids of example 1, the expression of the marker protein CD31 of vascular endothelial cells was observed, more at the ovarian cancer organoids; from fig. 8, it can be seen that endothelial cells elongate in shape and interconnect, migrate, and accumulate more in ovarian carcinoma organoids. The ovarian cancer organoid of the application is wrapped by a microvascular network, so that the vascularized ovarian cancer organoid is successfully constructed; in fig. 9, it can be seen that the tumor cells and endothelial cells in comparative example 1 are symbiotic and cross each other to form a structure similar to blood vessels on the surface and inside of organoids, but the dynamic process of stimulating endothelial cell migration in vivo due to fluid shear force and micro-flow cannot be represented by static co-culture of tumor cells and endothelial cells, and the formation difference of vascular network in vivo tumor tissue is large, and the formation of vascular network on in vivo tumor tissue cannot be represented; as can be seen from fig. 10, the formation of microvessels is seen on both surfaces of the tumor sphere, and it is difficult to form a vascular network surrounding the tumor sphere, and furthermore, the tumor sphere constructed from a tumor cell line and fibroblasts, which lacks tumor heterogeneity, is unable to simulate the in vivo tumor stimulated angiogenesis. Therefore, the vascularized tumor organoid constructed by the application is similar to angiogenesis of in-vivo tumor tissues, a vascular network surrounding the tumor organoid can be formed, the tumor heterogeneity is well reserved by the tumor organoid surrounded by the microvessels, and the construction method of the vascularized tumor organoid is further proved to be feasible.
