Three-dimensional (3D) melanoma culture is a personalized in vitro model that can be used for high-fidelity pre-clinical testing and validation of novel therapies. However, whether the genomic landscape of 3D cultures faithfully reflects the original primary tumor which remains unknown. The purpose of our study was to compare the genomic landscapes of 3D culture models with those of the original tumors. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors were established by engrafting fresh melanoma tissue from each patient. Then, a 3D culture model was generated using cryopreserved PDX tumors embedded in pre-gelled porcine skin decellularized extracellular matrix with normal human dermal fibroblasts. Using whole-exome sequencing, the genomic landscapes of 3D cultures, PDX tumors, and the original tumor were compared. We found that 91.4% of single-nucleotide variants in the original tumor were detected in the 3D culture and PDX samples. Putative melanoma driver mutations (
BRAF
p.V600E,
CDKN2A
p.R7*,
ADAMTS1
p.Q572*) were consistently identified in both the original tumor and 3D culture samples. Genome-wide copy number alteration profiles were almost identical between the original tumor and 3D culture samples, including the driver events of
ARID1B
loss,
BRAF
gain, and
CCND1
gain. In conclusion, our study revealed that the genomic profiles of the original tumor and our 3D culture model showed high concordance, indicating the reliability of our 3D culture model in reflecting the original characteristics of the tumor.
