CRPC with docetaxel chemotherapy-resistant patient-derived organoids was established pursuant to the method as described previously [51 (link),52 (link)]. The organoids were cultured with the advanced DMEM/F12 supplemented with 125 ng/ml rhR-spondin-1 (STEMCELL Technologies, 78213.1), 100 ng/ml rhNoggin (R&D Systems, 6057-NG-025), 1 ng/ml rhFGF (R&D Systems, 233-FB-025), rhFGF-10 (R&D Systems, 345-FG-025), 50 ng/ml (Meilunbio, China, MB8218-1), 1×N21 (R&D Systems, AR008), 10 μM Y-27632 (Abcam, Ab120129), 0.5 μM A83-01 (Beyotime Biotechnology, SF7917), 1:100 primocin (Invivogen, ant-pm-1), 10 μM SB202190 (Beyotime Biotechnology, SC0380), 10 mM Nicotinamide (Beyotime Biotechnology, S1761), and 1.25 mM N-acetylcysteine (Selleck, S1623), and the medium was changed every 2 to 3 days. Lentiviral transduction of AZGP1P2 shRNA and shRNA control was conducted according to the method as previously described [53 (link)]. The proliferation of organoids treated with 20 nM docetaxel was assessed by CCK-8 assay on the fifth day, and organoids were photographed using light microscopy. Three independent experiments were performed.
