A bipotential organoid culture of respiratory epithelium for modeling SARS-CoV-2 infection


ABSTRACT: The airways and the alveoli of the human respiratory tract are lined by two distinct types of epithelium. We previously established long-term expanding human lung epithelial organoids from lung tissues and developed a ‘proximal’ differentiation protocol to generate mucociliary airway organoids, yet the derivation of alveolar organoids from adult lung has remained a challenge. Here we defined a ‘distal’ differentiation approach to generate alveolar organoids from the same source that allows the establishment of airway organoids. Alveolar organoids are enriched for AT1 and AT2 cells and functionally simulate the alveolar epithelium. AT2 cells in lung organoids act as the progenitor cells from which alveolar organoids emerge. Moreover, we demonstrate productive SARS-CoV-2 infection of alveolar organoids. We further optimize 2-dimensional (2D) airway organoids. When differentiated under a slightly acidic pH, these 2D airway organoids sustain enhanced viral replication and better recapitulate the high infectivity of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, the optimized 2D airway organoids can model IgG transcytosis across the airway epithelium. Collectively, we establish a bipotential organoid culture system that can reproducibly expand the entire human respiratory epithelium in vitro for modeling respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
