In this video, we demonstrate a rapid, single-addition assay to assess cell viability in patient-derived organoids upon treatment with a test agent using intracellular ATP levels as a marker for cellular metabolic activity. The intracellular ATP levels are measured using the luciferase/luciferin reaction, where the emitted light intensity indicates the cellular viability and, in turn, the test agent's growth-inhibitory potency.

Protocol

1. Growth Inhibition High-Throughput Screening (HTS) NOTE: The growth inhibitory activity of anticancer agents against patient-derived tumor organoids (PDOs) is evaluated by measuring the intracellular ATP content, as shown in Figure 1. This step is performed using a commercially available cell viability assay kit (see Table of Materials). On day 0, culture the PDOs (e.g., RLUN007) in flasks until adequate numbers of cell clusters …
