When cancer cells expanded to form cell masses with a diameter of 80 μm, the cancer cells were passaged (not more than 10 times), and the maximum number of passages was recorded. The statistical results were shown in Table 39:

[0371] It can be seen that the formulas of the cell dissociation solutions had a great impact on the success rate of passage of the colorectal cancer ascites primary tumor cells. The cell dissociation solution (Table 7) used in the present invention can gently dissociate cancer cells in the cell masses, so that the samples can be continuously passaged while maintaining the activity of the colorectal cancer ascites primary tumor cells.
Embodiment 29. Culture of Colorectal Cancer Ascites Primary Tumor Cells with Cell Culture Consumables of Different Materials
[0372] In this embodiment, the operation method and process of primary culture of all samples were completely the same (refer to the above), and only the materials of cell culture consumables (unmodified) were different (Table 40).
TABLE-US-00040 TABLE 40 Effects of unmodified culture consumables of different materials on culture of colorectal cancer ascites primary tumor cells Serial number Sample number PS PC PMMA COC COP LAS 1 20180913GW1496 Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure 2 20181010LTT5115 Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure 3 20180920CQ6010 Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Success 4 20181010CWY0293 Success Failure Success Success Success Success 5 20181122WYF0822 Failure Failure Success Success Failure Success 6 20181113THC1098 Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Success 7 20181012HZY1873 Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Success 8 20181022SML2256 Success Success Success Success Failure Success 9 20181227ZMX2706 Failure Failure Failure Success Success Success 10 20181101DHY3948 Failure Failure Success Failure Failure Success Success rate 2/10 1/10 4/10 4/10 2/10 8/10 Note: Polystyrene (PS), Polycarbonate (PC), poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA), COC resin, Cyclo Olefin Polymer (COP), low-attachment-surface (LAS).
[0373] It can be seen from Table 40 that the culture consumables of different materials had a certain impact on the success rate of colorectal cancer ascites primary tumor cell culture, and the low-attachment-surface (LAS) had the highest success rate.
Embodiment 30. Culture of Colorectal Cancer Ascites Primary Tumor Cells with CYTOP-Modified Cell Culture Consumables
[0374] In this embodiment, the operation method and process of primary culture of all samples were completely the same (refer to the above), the modification methods of CYTOP were completely the same, and only the materials of cell culture consumables were different (Table 41).
[0375] The method of CYTOP modification was as follows: the cell culture vessel was first etched with pure oxygen under a power of 20 W for 3 minutes. Then, the surface of the culture dish or culture plate was covered with an appropriate amount (taking a 96-pore plank as an example, 20 μL per pore, the appropriate amount meant to completely cover the bottom of the culture dish) of a 1% CYTOP solution (see Table 42 for the formula), and the culture dish or culture plate can be used after the CYTOP solution was completely dried.

[0376] It can be seen from Table 41 that the CYTOP modification can effectively improve the culture success rates of various materials.

[0377] The 1% CYTOP solution can be preserved for a long term at normal temperature after preparation.
Embodiment 31. Drug Sensitivity Test Using Colorectal Cancer Ascites Primary Tumor Cells
[0378] The chemotherapy drugs 5-Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, and Irinotecan used in this embodiment were all Selleck products.
[0379] The Celltiter-Glo cell viability test kit mentioned in this embodiment was a Promega product. In vitro drug sensitivity test was performed using the colorectal cancer ascites primary tumor cells cultured according to the present invention: the primary cells were seeded with a density of 10.sup.5 cells/pore by means of a standard-sized 96-pore low-attachment cell culture plate, and 5 drug concentration gradients were provided for each drug, where n=3. After the drug was added, the cells were incubated for 7 days at 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2. After the drug action was over, the viability of the cells in each pore was tested with the Celltiter-Glo cell viability test kit. The experimental results were shown in
Embodiment 32. Microplate Chip Processing
[0380] In this embodiment, a microplate chip for culturing the colorectal cancer primary cells of the present invention was obtained by means of injection molding from a PMMA material (or a material such as PS, PC, COC, COP, or LAS). The chip can be used for colorectal cancer primary cell culture and in vitro drug sensitivity test. The design drawing of the microplate chip was shown in
[0381] In the actual application process, the structure of the microplate chip shown in the design drawing
Embodiment 33. Culture of Colorectal Cancer Primary Tumor Cells from Micro Colonoscopy Puncture Samples
[0382] In this embodiment, the operation method and process of primary culture of all samples were completely the same as the culture method of the colorectal cancer solid tumor primary cells (refer to the above), only the sources of the samples were different, and the samples were unified into two colonoscopy samples (Table 43).
TABLE-US-00043 TABLE 43 Culture statuses of colorectal cancer primary cells from colonoscopy puncture sample Serial number Sample number Culture status 1 20181115WLF8886 Failure 2 20181115LWW8966 Failure 3 20181115ZXQ9002 Success 4 20181123QLP9291 Success 5 20181122HYJ0804 Success 6 20181203FFZ1845 Success 7 20181114LWT1950 Success 8 20181115MFH2041 Success 9 20181129LLW2643 Success 10 20181129YLL2937 Success Success rate 8/10
[0383] It can be seen from Table 43 that the micro samples obtained by colonoscopy puncture can still be subjected to colorectal cancer primary cell culture with a high success rate.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
[0384] The present invention provides a method for extracting and culturing colorectal cancer primary tumor cells from fresh colorectal cancer solid tumor tissues or colorectal cancer ascites and supporting reagents. The method has the following advantages: for the colorectal cancer solid tumor tissues, the amount of a tissue sample is small, and only about 20 mg of colorectal cancer surgery sample is required. For the colorectal cancer ascites, samples are readily obtainable, the ascites discharged during conventional therapy of colorectal cancer patients is used to the greatest extent, and patients have no additional trauma and pain; the amount of a sample is small, and only about 50 mL of colorectal cancer ascites sample is required; the samples do not need to be immediately treated after collection, and the cell viability of more than 90% can be guaranteed after the samples isolated are treated according to this method within 72 hours. The culture cycle is short, and a 10.sup.7 magnitude order of colorectal cancer primary tumor cells can be obtained only within 3-10 days. The culture stability is high, and the success rates of in vitro culture of qualified colorectal cancer solid tumor and ascites samples by this method are as high as 70%-80%. The cell purity is high, and in the colorectal cancer primary cell culture obtained by this method, the proportion of cancer cells can reach 70%-95% and the interference of parenchyma cells is little. The colorectal cancer primary cell culture obtained by the method of the present invention can be used for in vitro experiments, second-generation sequencing, building of animal models, and building of cell lines at multiple cell levels. It is foreseeable that this culture method has broad application prospects in the fields of research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
