Cholangiocyte organoid culture in hydrogels from decellularized liver tissue

ABSTRACT: Culture of human cholangiocyte organoids in hydrogels derived from healthy liver extracellular matrix (LECM) extracts prepared from decellularized human livers are evaluated in an effort to establish a platform for production of cholangiocyte organoids for clinical regenerative applications. Human intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICO) grown in hydrogels made from LECM are compared those grown in mouse tumor derived basement membrane extracts (BME). Culture was performed with amino acids labeled with stable heavy isotopes to enable separation of ECM from the hydrogels from that of the produced by the cells with mass spectrometry (MS). MS data were used to evaluate the protein production of ICO comparing the different hydrogel substrates. The study also contains evaluation of the properties of the hydrogel substrates and focuses on expansion and differentiation of the ICO.
