Human bladder 5637 cells cultivated under microgravity conditions formed organoids that displayed characteristics of in vivo tissue-specific differentiation. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain CP9 colonized and penetrated the organoids and induced alpha-hemolysin-mediated exfoliation of uroepithelial cells. We propose these uro-organoids as models that simulate the interactions between UPEC and terminally differentiated human urothelium.
在微重力条件下培养的人膀胱5637细胞形成了类器官,这些类器官表现出体内组织特异性分化的特征。尿路致病性大肠杆菌(UPEC)菌株CP9定殖并穿透类器官,并诱导α-溶血素介导的尿路上皮细胞脱落。我们提出将这些尿路上皮类器官作为模拟UPEC与终末分化的人尿路上皮之间相互作用的模型。
