Pulmonary alveolar epithelial type I (AT1) cells have a flattened morphology to permit the diffusion of oxygen into the capillaries and historically have been difficult to isolate or maintain in culture. Here, we present a protocol for generating human alveolar type I-like cells (induced pluripotent stem cell-derived AT1s [iAT1s]) from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar epithelial type II cells (iAT2s) in vitro. We describe steps to plate iAT1s in either 3D or air-liquid interface cultures and to analyze or isolate iAT1s via flow cytometry. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Burgess et al..
肺泡I型上皮(AT1)细胞形态扁平,有利于氧气扩散进入毛细血管,并且长期以来一直难以在体外分离或培养。在此,我们展示了一种从诱导多能干细胞衍生的肺泡II型上皮细胞(iAT2s)体外生成人肺泡I型样细胞(诱导多能干细胞衍生的AT1s [iAT1s])的方案。我们描述了将iAT1s接种于三维或气液界面培养物中的步骤,以及通过流式细胞术分析或分离iAT1s的步骤。有关本方案使用和实施的完整细节,请参阅伯吉斯等人的文章。
