New functional assays using primary human intestinal adult stem cell cultures can be valuable tools to study epithelial defects in human diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
CFTR-mediated ion transport was measured in rectal organoid-derived monolayers grown from subjects with various CFTR mutations and compared to donor-matched intestinal current measurements (ICM) in rectal biopsies and forskolin-induced swelling of rectal organoids.
Rectal organoid-derived monolayers were generated within four days. Ion transport measurements of CFTR function using these monolayers correlated with ICM and organoid swelling (r = 0.73 and 0.79 respectively). Culturing the monolayers under differentiation conditions enhanced the detection of mucus-secreting cells and was accompanied by reduced CFTR function.
CFTR-dependent intestinal epithelial ion transport properties can be measured in rectal organoid-derived monolayers of subjects and correlate with donor-matched ICM and rectal organoid swelling.
使用原代人肠成体干细胞培养物进行新的功能测定,可能是研究囊性纤维化等人类疾病中上皮缺陷的有用工具。
在从具有各种 CFTR 突变的受试者中衍生的直肠类器官衍生的单层中测量 CFTR 介导的离子转运,并将其与直肠活检中的供体匹配的肠电流测量(ICM)和 forskolin 诱导的直肠类器官肿胀进行比较。
直肠类器官衍生的单层在四天内生成。使用这些单层进行 CFTR 功能的离子转运测量与 ICM 和类器官肿胀相关(分别为 r=0.73 和 0.79)。在分化条件下培养这些单层可增强对分泌粘液细胞的检测,并伴有 CFTR 功能降低。
可在受试者的直肠类器官衍生单层中测量 CFTR 依赖性肠上皮离子转运特性,并与供体匹配的 ICM 和直肠类器官肿胀相关。
