Epithelial Regeneration Ability of Crohn's Disease Assessed Using Patient-Derived Intestinal Organoids.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the ability for epithelial regeneration and wound healing in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. We evaluated the epithelial proliferation and wound healing ability of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) using patient-derived intestinal organoids. Human intestinal organoids were constructed in a three-dimensional intestinal crypt culture of enteroscopic biopsy samples from controls and CD patients. The organoid-forming efficiency of ileal crypts derived from CD patients was reduced compared with those from control subjects (p < 0.001). Long-term cultured organoids (≥6 passages) derived from controls and CD patients showed an indistinguishable microscopic appearance and culturing behavior. Under TNFα-enriched conditions (30 ng/mL), the organoid reconstitution rate and cell viability of CD patient-derived organoids were significantly lower than those of the control organoids (p < 0.05 for each). The number of EdU+ cells was significantly lower in TNFα-treated organoids derived from CD patients than in TNFα-treated control organoids (p < 0.05). In a wound healing assay, the unhealed area in TNFα-treated CD patient-derived organoids was significantly larger than that of TNFα-treated control organoids (p < 0.001). The wound healing ability of CD patient-derived organoids is reduced in TNFα-enriched conditions, due to reduced cell proliferation. Epithelial regeneration ability may be impaired in patients with CD.

Corticosteroid enhances epithelial barrier function in intestinal organoids derived from patients with Crohn's disease.

Project description:Corticosteroids (CS), first-line therapeutics for Crohn's disease (CD) with moderate or severe disease activity, were found to restore intestinal permeability in CD patients, whereas the underlying molecular events are still largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanisms of CS prednisolone on epithelial barrier using CD patient-derived intestinal organoids. 3D intestinal organoids were generated from colon biopsies of inactive CD patients. To mimic the inflammatory microenvironment, a mixture of cytokines containing TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β were added to the organoid culture with or without pre-incubation of prednisolone or mifepristone. Epithelial permeability of the organoids was assessed by FITC-D4 flux from the basal to luminal compartment using confocal microscopy. Expression of junctional components were analyzed by qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence staining, and western blot. Activity of signaling pathways were analyzed using western blot. Exposure of the cytokines significantly disrupted epithelial barrier of the intestinal organoids, which was partially restored by prednisolone. On the molecular level, the cytokine mixture resulted in a significant reduction in E-cadherin and ILDR-1, an increase in CLDN-2, MLCK, and STAT1 phosphorylation, whereas prednisolone ameliorated the abovementioned effects induced by the cytokine mixture. This study demonstrates that prednisolone confers a direct effect in tightening the epithelial barrier, identifies novel junctional targets regulated by prednisolone, and underscores intestinal barrier restoration as a potential mechanism that contributes to the clinical efficacy of prednisolone in CD patients. KEY MESSAGES: Prednisolone confers a direct preventive effect against cytokine-induced barrier dysfunction. Prednisolone regulates the expression of CLDN-2, E-cadherin, and ILDR-1. The effect of prednisolone is GR-, MLCK-, and STAT1-dependent.

Engineering transplantable jejunal mucosal grafts using patient-derived organoids from children with intestinal failure.

Project description:Intestinal failure, following extensive anatomical or functional loss of small intestine, has debilitating long-term consequences for children1. The priority of patient care is to increase the length of functional intestine, particularly the jejunum, to promote nutritional independence2. Here we construct autologous jejunal mucosal grafts using biomaterials from pediatric patients and show that patient-derived organoids can be expanded efficiently in vitro. In parallel, we generate decellularized human intestinal matrix with intact nanotopography, which forms biological scaffolds. Proteomic and Raman spectroscopy analyses reveal highly analogous biochemical profiles of human small intestine and colon scaffolds, indicating that they can be used interchangeably as platforms for intestinal engineering. Indeed, seeding of jejunal organoids onto either type of scaffold reliably reconstructs grafts that exhibit several aspects of physiological jejunal function and that survive to form luminal structures after transplantation into the kidney capsule or subcutaneous pockets of mice for up to 2 weeks. Our findings provide proof-of-concept data for engineering patient-specific jejunal grafts for children with intestinal failure, ultimately aiding in the restoration of nutritional autonomy.

Single cell analysis of Crohn's disease patient-derived small intestinal organoids reveals disease activity-dependent modification of stem cell properties.

Project description:BackgroundIntestinal stem cells (ISCs) play indispensable roles in the maintenance of homeostasis, and also in the regeneration of the damaged intestinal epithelia. However, whether the inflammatory environment of Crohn's disease (CD) affects properties of resident small intestinal stem cells remain uncertain.MethodsCD patient-derived small intestinal organoids were established from enteroscopic biopsy specimens taken from active lesions (aCD-SIO), or from mucosa under remission (rCD-SIO). Expression of ISC-marker genes in those organoids was examined by immunohistochemistry, and also by microfluid-based single-cell multiplex gene expression analysis. The ISC-specific function of organoid cells was evaluated using a single-cell organoid reformation assay.ResultsISC-marker genes, OLFM4 and SLC12A2, were expressed by an increased number of small intestinal epithelial cells in the active lesion of CD. aCD-SIOs, rCD-SIOs or those of non-IBD controls (NI-SIOs) were successfully established from 9 patients. Immunohistochemistry showed a comparable level of OLFM4 and SLC12A2 expression in all organoids. Single-cell gene expression data of 12 ISC-markers were acquired from a total of 1215 cells. t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding analysis identified clusters of candidate ISCs, and also revealed a distinct expression pattern of SMOC2 and LGR5 in ISC-cluster classified cells derived from aCD-SIOs. Single-cell organoid reformation assays showed significantly higher reformation efficiency by the cells of the aCD-SIOs compared with that of cells from NI-SIOs.ConclusionsaCD-SIOs harbor ISCs with modified marker expression profiles, and also with high organoid reformation ability. Results suggest modification of small intestinal stem cell properties by unidentified factors in the inflammatory environment of CD.

Engineered Matrices Enable the Culture of Human Patient-Derived Intestinal Organoids.

Project description:Human intestinal organoids from primary human tissues have the potential to revolutionize personalized medicine and preclinical gastrointestinal disease models. A tunable, fully defined, designer matrix, termed hyaluronan elastin-like protein (HELP) is reported, which enables the formation, differentiation, and passaging of adult primary tissue-derived, epithelial-only intestinal organoids. HELP enables the encapsulation of dissociated patient-derived cells, which then undergo proliferation and formation of enteroids, spherical structures with polarized internal lumens. After 12 rounds of passaging, enteroid growth in HELP materials is found to be statistically similar to that in animal-derived matrices. HELP materials also support the differentiation of human enteroids into mature intestinal cell subtypes. HELP matrices allow stiffness, stress relaxation rate, and integrin-ligand concentration to be independently and quantitatively specified, enabling fundamental studies of organoid-matrix interactions and potential patient-specific optimization. Organoid formation in HELP materials is most robust in gels with stiffer moduli (G' ≈ 1 kPa), slower stress relaxation rate (t 1/2 ≈ 18 h), and higher integrin ligand concentration (0.5 × 10-3-1 × 10-3 m RGD peptide). This material provides a promising in vitro model for further understanding intestinal development and disease in humans and a reproducible, biodegradable, minimal matrix with no animal-derived products or synthetic polyethylene glycol for potential clinical translation.

Vitamin D sufficiency enhances differentiation of patient-derived prostate epithelial organoids.

Project description:Vitamin D is an essential steroid hormone that regulates systemic calcium homeostasis and cell fate decisions. The prostate gland is hormonally regulated, requiring steroids for proliferation and differentiation of secretory luminal cells. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of lethal prostate cancer, which exhibits a dedifferentiated pathology, linking vitamin D sufficiency to epithelial differentiation. To determine vitamin D regulation of prostatic epithelial differentiation, patient-derived benign prostate epithelial organoids were grown in vitamin D-deficient or -sufficient conditions. Organoids were assessed by phenotype and single-cell RNA sequencing. Mechanistic validation demonstrated that vitamin D sufficiency promoted organoid growth and accelerated differentiation by inhibiting canonical Wnt activity and suppressing Wnt family member DKK3. Wnt and DKK3 were also reduced by vitamin D in prostate tissue explants by spatial transcriptomics. Wnt dysregulation is a known contributor to aggressive prostate cancer, thus findings further link vitamin D deficiency to lethal disease.

A Refined Culture System for Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Intestinal Epithelial Organoids.

Project description:Gut epithelial organoids are routinely used to investigate intestinal biology; however, current culture methods are not amenable to genetic manipulation, and it is difficult to generate sufficient numbers for high-throughput studies. Here, we present an improved culture system of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived intestinal organoids involving four methodological advances. (1) We adopted a lentiviral vector to readily establish and optimize conditioned medium for human intestinal organoid culture. (2) We obtained intestinal organoids from human iPSCs more efficiently by supplementing WNT3A and fibroblast growth factor 2 to induce differentiation into definitive endoderm. (3) Using 2D culture, followed by re-establishment of organoids, we achieved an efficient transduction of exogenous genes in organoids. (4) We investigated suspension organoid culture without scaffolds for easier harvesting and assays. These techniques enable us to develop, maintain, and expand intestinal organoids readily and quickly at low cost, facilitating high-throughput screening of pathogenic factors and candidate treatments for gastrointestinal diseases.

Evaluation of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Using Murine Intestinal Organoids.

Project description:BackgroundIntestinal organoids have evolved as potential molecular tools that could be used to study host-microbiome interactions, nutrient uptake, and drug screening. Gut epithelial barrier functions play a crucial role in health and diseases, especially in autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), because they disrupt the epithelial mucosa and impair barrier function.MethodsIn this study, we generated an in vitro IBD model based on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and intestinal organoids that could potentially be used to assess barrier integrity. Intestinal organoids were long-term cultivated and characterized with several specific markers, and the key functionality of paracellular permeability was determined using FITC-dextran 4 kDa. Intestinal organoids that had been treated with 2 µM DSS for 3 h were developed and the intestinal epithelial barrier function was sequentially evaluated.ResultsThe results indicated that the paracellular permeability represented epithelial characteristics and their barrier function had declined when they were exposed to FITC-dextran 4 kDa after DSS treatment. In addition, we analyzed the endogenous mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and their downstream effector genes. The results demonstrated that the inflammatory cytokines genes significantly increased in inflamed organoids compared to the control, leading to epithelial barrier damage and dysfunction.ConclusionThe collective results showed that in vitro 3D organoids mimic in vivo tissue topology and functionality with minor limitations, and hence are helpful for testing disease models.

Using patient-derived tumor organoids from common epithelial cancers to analyze personalized T-cell responses to neoantigens.

Project description:Adoptive cell transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can mediate durable complete responses in some patients with common epithelial cancers but does so infrequently. A better understanding of T-cell responses to neoantigens and tumor-related immune evasion mechanisms requires having the autologous tumor as a reagent. We investigated the ability of patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTO) to fulfill this need and evaluated their utility as a tool for selecting T-cells for adoptive cell therapy. PDTO established from metastases from patients with colorectal, breast, pancreatic, bile duct, esophageal, lung, and kidney cancers underwent whole exomic sequencing (WES), to define mutations. Organoids were then evaluated for recognition by autologous TIL or T-cells transduced with cloned T-cell receptors recognizing defined neoantigens. PDTO were also used to identify and clone TCRs from TIL targeting private neoantigens and define those tumor-specific targets. PDTO were successfully established in 38/47 attempts. 75% were available within 2 months, a timeframe compatible with screening TIL for clinical administration. These lines exhibited good genetic fidelity with their parental tumors, especially for mutations with higher clonality. Immunologic recognition assays demonstrated instances of HLA allelic loss not found by pan-HLA immunohistochemistry and in some cases WES of fresh tumor. PDTO could also be used to show differences between TCRs recognizing the same antigen and to find and clone TCRs recognizing private neoantigens. PDTO can detect tumor-specific defects blocking T-cell recognition and may have a role as a selection tool for TCRs and TIL used in adoptive cell therapy.

Characterization of patient-derived intestinal organoids for modelling fibrosis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Project description:Background and aimsIntestinal fibrosis is a common complication of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), namely Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), but the precise mechanism by which it occurs is incompletely understood hampering the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Here, we aimed at inducing and characterizing an inflammation-mediated fibrosis in patient-derived organoids (PDOs) issued from crypts isolated from colonic mucosal biopsies of IBD pediatric patients and age matched-control subjects (CTRLs).MethodsInflammatory-driven fibrosis was induced by exposing CTRL-, CD- and UC-PDOs to the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α for one day, followed by a co-treatment with TNF-α and TGF-β1 for three days. Fibrotic response was proven by analyzing inflammatory and fibrotic markers by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence. Transcriptomic changes were assessed by RNA-sequencing.ResultsCo-treatment with TNF-α and TGF-β1 caused in CTRL- and IBD-PDOs morphological changes towards a mesenchymal-like phenotype and up-regulation of inflammatory, mesenchymal, and fibrotic markers. Transcriptomic profiling highlighted that in all intestinal PDOs, regardless of the disease, the co-exposure to TNF-α and TGF-β1 regulated EMT genes and specifically increased genes involved in positive regulation of cell migration. Finally, we demonstrated that CD-PDOs display a specific response to fibrosis compared to both CTRL- and UC-PDOs, mainly characterized by upregulation of nuclear factors controlling transcription.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that intestinal PDOs may develop an inflammatory-derived fibrosis thus representing a promising tool to study fibrogenesis in IBD. Fibrotic PDOs show increased expression of EMT genes. In particular, fibrotic CD-PDOs display a specific gene expression signature compared to UC and CTRL-PDOs.
