Abstract

Summary Xenograft cell transplantation into immunodeficient mice has become the gold-standard for assessing pre-clinical efficacy of cancer drugs, yet direct visualization of single cell phenotypes is difficult. Here, we report an optically-clear, prkdc−/−, il2rga−/− zebrafish that lack adaptive and natural killer immune cells, can engraft a wide array of human cancers at 37°C, and permit the dynamic visualization of single engrafted cells. For example, photoconversion cell lineage-tracing identified migratory and proliferative cell states in human rhabdomyosarcoma, a pediatric cancer of muscle. Additional experiments identified the preclinical efficacy of combination olaparib PARP-inhibitor and temozolomide DNA-damaging agent as an effective therapy for rhabdomyosarcoma and visualized therapeutic responses using a four-color FUCCI cell cycle fluorescent reporter. These experiments identified that combination treatment arrested rhabdomyosarcoma cells in the G2 cell cycle prior to induction of apoptosis. Finally, patient-derived xenografts could be engrafted into our model, opening new avenues for developing personalized-therapeutic approaches in the future.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
