The ureteric bud (UB) is a kidney precursor tissue that repeats branching morphogenesis and gives rise to the collecting ducts (CDs) and lower urinary tract. Here, we describe protocols to generate iUB organoids from human iPSCs; iUB organoids repeat branching morphogenesis. We describe how to expand iUB-organoid-derived tip colonies and how to induce CD progenitors from iUB organoids. These organoids can be used to study CD development and potentially as a model of kidney and urinary tract diseases. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Mae et al. (2020).
输尿管芽(UB)是一种肾脏前体组织,它重复分支形态发生并产生集合管(CDs)和下尿路。在这里,我们描述了从人诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)中生成 iUB 类器官的方案;iUB 类器官重复分支形态发生。我们描述了如何扩展 iUB-类器官衍生的尖端集落,以及如何从 iUB 类器官中诱导 CD 前体细胞。这些类器官可用于研究 CD 的发育,并可能作为肾脏和泌尿道疾病的模型。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参见 Mae 等人。(2020 年)。
