A Bioengineered Platform for Enhanced Observability of Patterned Gastrointestinal Organoid Monolayers with Bilateral Access

ABSTRACT: Studying the physiology and pathology of gastrointestinal (GI) tissues requires tools that can accurately mimic their complex architecture and functionality in vitro. Organoids have emerged as one such promising tool, though their closed structures with poorly accessible lumen and limited observability makes readouts challenging. In this study, we introduce a bioengineered organoid platform that generates bilaterally accessible 3D tissue models, allowing independent manipulation of both the apical and basal sides of patterned epithelial monolayers. We successfully constructed gastric, small intestinal, caecal, and colonic epithelial models that faithfully reproduced tissue-respective geometries and exhibited high physiological relevance, evidenced by the regionalization of stem cells and transcriptional resemblance to real epithelia. The gained observability allowed single-cell tracking over time and studies into the motility of cells in immersion and air-liquid interface cultures. Additionally, this model recapitulated Trichuris muris infection of the caecum epithelium, allowing the first live imaging of syncytial tunnel formation. Overall, this platform offers accessible organoids with improved observability, making it a valuable tool for investigating the dynamics of GI epithelial cells and their interactions with pathogens.

Tissue extracellular matrix hydrogels as alternative to Matrigel for culturing gastrointestinal organoid

Project description:Matrigel, a mouse tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) protein mixture, is an indispensable component of most organoid tissue culture. However, it has limited the utility of organoids for drug development and regenerative medicine due to its tumor-derived origin, batch-to22 batch variation, high cost, and safety issues. Here, we demonstrate that gastrointestinal (GI) tissue-derived ECM hydrogels are a suitable substitute for Matrigel in GI organoid culture. We found that the development and function of GI organoids grown in GI ECM hydrogels are comparable or often superior to those in Matrigel. In addition, GI ECM hydrogels enabled long-term subculture and transplantation of GI organoids by providing GI tissue-mimetic microenvironments. Tissue-specific and age-related ECM profiles of GI ECM hydrogels that affect organoid development were also elucidated through proteomic analysis. Together, our results suggest that ECM hydrogels derived from decellularized GI tissues are an effective alternative to the current gold standard, Matrigel, and produce organoids suitable for GI disease modeling, drug development, and tissue regeneration.

Transcriptome profiling of organoids from the human and murine gastrointestinal tract

Project description:The epithelial layer of the gastrointestinal tract is the body’s first line of defense against gut pathogens. However, our current understanding of the innate immune response of the epithelial layer is limited. For this study, we used gastrointestinal organoids which have the advantage of being primary, non-transformed epithelium that retains organ-specific characteristics in culture, and also that they lack any confounding immune cells. We systematically profiled the transcriptomes of gastrointestinal epithelial cells using a newly generated biobank of human and murine GI organoids grown from tissue-resident stem cells, providing an atlas of gene expression along the GI tract of both species. RNA sequencing of all lines confirmed the preservation of tissue identity, and in addition revealed extensive organization of innate immune signaling components along the cephalocaudal axis, endowing a specific innate immune profile to each segment.

Suspended hydrogel culture as a method to scale up intestinal organoids

Project description:Primary tissue-derived epithelial organoids are a physiologically relevant in vitro intestinal model that have been implemented for both basic research and drug development applications. The existing method of culturing intestinal organoids in surface-attached native extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel domes is not readily amenable to large-scale culture and contributes to culture heterogeneity. We have developed a method of culturing intestinal organoids within suspended basement membrane extract (BME) hydrogels of various geometries, which streamlines the protocol, increases the scalability, enables kinetic sampling, and improves culture uniformity without specialized equipment or additional expertise. We demonstrate the compatibility of this method with multiple culture formats, and provide examples of suspended BME hydrogel organoids in downstream applications: implementation in a medium-throughput drug screen and generation of Transwell monolayers for barrier evaluation. The suspended BME hydrogel culture method will allow intestinal organoids, and potentially other organoid types, to be used more widely and at higher throughputs than previously possible.

High-dimensional transcriptional analyses of UC Colon comparing RNALater to DMSO collection method

Project description:Simultaneous analyses of peripheral and mucosal immune compartments can yield insight into the pathogenesis of mucosal-associated diseases. Although methods to preserve peripheral immune cells are well established, studies involving mucosal immune cells have been hampered by lack of simple storage techniques. We provide a cryopreservation protocol allowing for storage of gastrointestinal (GI) tissue with preservation of viability and functionality of both immune and epithelial cells.

Prospective derivation of a 'Living Organoid Biobank' of colorectal cancer patients

Project description:In Rspondin-based 3D cultures, Lgr5 stem cells from multiple organs form ever-expanding epithelial organoids that retain their tissue identity. We report the establishment of tumor organoid cultures from 20 consecutive colorectal (CRC) patients. For most, organoids were also generated from adjacent normal tissue. The organoids closely resemble the original tumor. The spectrum of genetic changes observed within the 'living biobank' agrees well with previous large-scale mutational analyses of CRC. Gene expression analysis indicates that the major CRC molecular subtypes are represented. Tumor organoids are amenable to robotized, high-throughput drug screens allowing detection of gene-drug associations. As an example, a single organoid culture was exquisitely sensitive to Wnt secretion (porcupine) inhibitors and carried a mutation in the negative Wnt feedback regulator RNF43 (rather than in APC). Organoid technology may fill the gap between cancer genetics and patient trials, complement cell line- and xenograft-based drug studies and allow personalized therapy design. We generated organoids from healthy tissue and coloncarcinoma tissue. The organoids were trypsinized, plated in matrigel and overlaid with medium. After three days, RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNAeasy. Medium conditions are the same for all organoids, irrespective of their origin.

An Integrative Transcriptome – Proteome Approach Reveals a Robust Expression Pattern of Small Intestinal Epithelial Organoids from Germ-Free and Microbiota Associated Donors

Project description:Intestinal epithelial organoids established from resected gut tissue have become a widely used research tool. However, it remains unclear how environmental cues and other sources of variation before, during and after establishment impact on organoid properties. Divergent microbiota composition in separately held mouse lines has been identified as a confounding factor in murine in vivo studies. To probe the effect of donor microbiota on organoids, we analyzed the proteomes and transcriptomes of primary organoid cultures established from colonized and germ-free mice, and further compared them to their tissue of origin and to commonly used cell lines. The long-term global impact of donor microbiota on organoid expression patterns was negligible. Instead, stochastic culture-to-culture differences accounted for a moderate variability between independently established organoids. Integration of transcriptome and proteome datasets revealed an organoid-typic expression signature comprising 14 transcripts and 10 proteins that distinguished organoids across all donors from murine epithelial cell lines and fibroblasts. This signature, which closely mimicked expression patterns in the gut epithelium, included high levels of the inflammasome scaffold protein ASC in organoids which was lacking in commonly used cell lines. Mining of the transcriptome dataset uncovered similar high expression of also other inflammasome components, including Naip1-6, Nlrc4, and Caspase-1 in all organoids compared to the reference cell lines. Taken together, these results reveal a robust global expression pattern in organoids established from colonized and germ-free animals and suggest that organoids represent a more suitable culture model than immortalized cell lines for studies of intestinal epithelial inflammasomes.

HIF2 regulates intestinal Wnt5a expression

Project description:Radiation therapy for abdominal tumors is challenging because the small intestine is exquisitely radiosensitive. Unfortunately, there are no FDA-approved therapies to prevent or mitigate GI radiotoxicity. The EGLN protein family are oxygen sensors that regulate cell survival and metabolism through the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Our group has previously shown that stabilization of HIF2 through genetic deletion or pharmacologic inhibition of the EGLNs mitigates and protects against GI radiotoxicity in mice by improving intestinal crypt stem cell survival. Here we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which HIF2 confers GI radioprotection. We developed duodenal organoids from mice, transiently overexpressed non-degradable HIF2, and performed bulk RNA sequencing. Interestingly, HIF2 upregulated known radiation modulators and genes involved in GI homeostasis, including Wnt5a. Non-canonical Wnt5a signaling has been shown by other groups to improve intestinal crypt regeneration in response to injury. Here we show that HIF2 drives Wnt5a expression in multiple duodenal organoid models. Luciferase reporter assays performed in human cells showed that HIF2 directly activates the WNT5A promoter via a hypoxia response element. We then evaluated crypt regeneration using spheroid formation assays. Duodenal organoids that were pre-treated with recombinant Wnt5a had a higher cryptogenic capacity after irradiation, compared to vehicle-treated organoids. Conversely, we found that Wnt5a knockout decreased the cryptogenic potential of intestinal stem cells following irradiation. Treatment with recombinant Wnt5a prior to irradiation rescued the cryptogenic capacity of Wnt5a knockout organoids, indicating that Wnt5a is necessary and sufficient for duodenal radioprotection. Taken together, our results.txt suggest that HIF2 radioprotects the GI tract by inducing Wnt5a expression.

Single-cell transcriptional profiling of primary human dental follicle and derived organoids

Project description:Knowledge on tooth epithelial stem cells and corresponding biology in humans is sparse. Here, we developed an organoid model, typically replicating epithelial tissue stem cell biology, starting from human tooth. Dental follicle (DF), isolated from extracted wisdom teeth, efficiently generated long-term expandable epithelial organoids. The organoids displayed a tooth stemness phenotype as present in DF’s Epithelial Cell Rests of Malassez, a compartment deemed to contain tooth epithelial stem cells. To further decode the organoids in more granular detail, we applied scRNA-seq analysis on DF-derived organoids (passage 1 (P1) and P4) together with their primary tissue. Additionally, to decipher the amelogenesis-resembling process that takes place in the tooth organoids upon differentiation, we performed scRNA-seq analysis of P4 organoids switched to mineralization-inducing medium for 8 days.

RNA-seq analysis of intestinal organoids treated with SGC-CBP30 or vehicle at 36 hours post-irradiation

Project description:CBP/P300 inhibitors have been shown to be remarkably effective in mitigating radiation-induced GI syndrome both in ex vivo 3D organoid systemand animal studies. To further figure out the underlying mechanisms of improved radio-resistance by CBP/P300 inhibition, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on crypt organoids treated with SGC-CBP30 or vehicle post 8Gy irradiation. RNA-seq analysis of crypt organoids demonstrated that a few radiation-activated pathways are significantly affected by SC treatment, such as E2F targets, G2M checkpoint, Myc targets, and DNA Repair. We speculate that the significant upregulation of genes in DNA repair pathway after CBP/P300 inhibition may help epithelial cells recovery from radiation damage.
