Whole transcriptome data of human liver organoids cultured in Matrigel and polyisocyanopeptides-based hydrogel


ABSTRACT: End-stage liver diseases are an increasing health burden and liver transplantations are currently the only curative treatment option. Due to a lack of donor livers, alternative treatments are urgently needed. Human liver organoids are very promising for regenerative medicine, however, organoids are currently cultured in Matrigel, which is extracted from the extracellular matrix of the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse sarcoma. Matrigel is poorly defined, suffers from high batch-to-batch variability and is of murine origin, which limits clinical application of organoids. Here, a novel hydrogel based on polyisocyanopeptides (PIC) and laminin-111 is described for human liver organoid culture. PIC is a synthetic hydrogel with thermodynamic properties, making it easy to handle and very attractive for clinical applications. Organoids in an optimized PIC hydrogel proliferate at rates comparable to Matrigel; proliferation rates are stiffness-dependent, with lower stiffnesses being optimal for organoid proliferation. Moreover, organoids can be efficiently differentiated towards hepatocyte-like cells with key liver functions. This proliferation and differentiation potential can be maintained over at least 16 passages. Our results indicate that PIC is a promising material for human liver organoid culture and has the potential to be used in a variety of clinical applications including cell therapy and tissue engineering.
