Project description:We report whole genome data for in vitro mouse monolayers with different culture time/transepithelial electrical resistance and colonic crypts. Mouse colonic monolayers were generated on gradient cross-linked collagen scaffolds.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE31255: Isolation and in vitro expansion of human colonic stem cells [Expression profile] GSE31256: Isolation and in vitro expansion of human colonic stem cells [CGH] Refer to individual Series
Project description:Tissue for normal colonic stem cell isolation was obtained via colectomy from a colorectal cancer patient. It was shown that the resected tissue and the in vitro-cultured organoids grown from tissue-derived adult stem cells do not harbor chromosomal alterations. For that purpose, genomic DNA from resected mucosa or genomic DNA from adult stem cell-derived organoids grown in a 3-dimensional culture system was compared to white blood cell genomic DNA obtained from the same individual. Furthermore, in vitro organoids which were cultured and serially passaged for several weeks did not acquire chromosomal alterations. Analysis of chromosomal stability of colonic tissue or in vitro-cultured organoids via comparison with blood cells derived from the same individual.
Project description:Expression analysis of neurospheres generated in vitro treated by potassium chloride (KCl) and norepinephrine Neurospheres generated in vitro were treated with norepinephrine or potassium chloride. Gene expression analysis was then carried out to identify genes that are up or down regulated due to chemical treatment.
Project description:The goal of this study was to evaluate the transcriptional response of 4 human duodenal enteroid lines on monolayers to norovirus infections (GII.4). Enteroids were plated as monolayers in Intesticult (Stem Cell Technologies) proliferation medium. After 1 day of cell growth as a monolayer, the proliferation medium was changed with differentiation medium for 5 days. Five-day-differentiated monolayers were washed and were either mock-infected or inoculated with human norovirus supplemented with 500 μM glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), for 1 to 2 h at 37°C. Total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy kit and paired-end Illumina sequencing was performed.
Project description: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.
Project description:Neurospheres generated in vitro were treated with non-epinephrine or potassium chloride. Gene expression analysis was then carried out to identify genes that are up or down regulated due to chemical treatement.
