Organoids were propagated in hPDAC media modified from Boj et al.66 (link). For drug screening, organoids were dissociated to single cells and seeded on top of a thin layer of Matrigel (Corning, NY, USA) in 384-well plate (3000/well). Next day, organoids were treated with a range of MK-2206 (0.05–30 µM) and Trametinib (0.001 nM to 10 µM) or SHP099 (0.05–400 µM) concentrations for 96 h and cell viability was determined by CellTiter-Glo 3D viability assay (Promega, Madison, USA). Drug-response curves were graphed and half maximal inhibitory concentration values were calculated using GraphPad Prism 8.0 (San Diego, USA).
