Bone metastasis in prostate cancer presents significant therapeutic resistance and contributes to increased mortality in advanced stages of the disease. This study focuses on developing personalized 3D in vitro bone metastasis models with patient-derived prostate cancer cell lines (CTR_PCA 3001, 3002, 3003, and 3004, obtained from Sanford Hospital). These models represent an advancement over our prior systems that employed commercial prostate cancer cell lines (PC3 and MDA PCa 2b) and offer a more accurate representation of the molecular and cellular behavior of patient-derived cancer cells within the bone microenvironment. These models, which incorporate various patient-derived prostate cancer subtypes, provide a valuable platform for investigating prostate cancer metastasis and have the potential to transform precision medicine approaches such as targeted therapy and drug discovery in oncology. Consequently, the development of these personalized 3D in vitro models considerably enhances the increasing role of precision and personalized medicine for cancer treatment.
