Development of a primary human Small Intestine-on-a-Chip using biopsy-derived organoids

ABSTRACT: Here we describe a method for fabricating a primary human Small Intestine-on-a-Chip (Intestine Chip) containing epithelial cells isolated from healthy regions of intestinal biopsies. The primary epithelial cells are expanded as 3D organoids, dissociated, and cultured on a porous membrane within a microfluidic device with human intestinal microvascular endothelium cultured in a parallel microchannel under flow and cyclic deformation. In the Intestine Chip, the epithelium forms villi-like projections lined by polarized epithelial cells that undergo multi-lineage differentiation similar to that of intestinal organoids, however, these cells expose their apical surfaces to an open lumen and interface with endothelium. Transcriptomic analysis also indicates that the Intestine Chip more closely mimics whole human duodenum in vivo when compared to the duodenal organoids used to create the chips. Because fluids flowing through the lumen of the Intestine Chip can be collected continuously, sequential analysis of fluid samples can be used to quantify nutrient digestion, mucus secretion and establishment of intestinal barrier function over a period of multiple days in vitro. The Intestine Chip therefore may be useful as a research tool for applications where normal intestinal function is crucial, including studies of metabolism, nutrition, infection, and drug pharmacokinetics, as well as personalized medicine.

Project description:Human intestinal epithelial organoids (IEO) culture models are rapidly emerging as novel experimental tools to investigate fundamental aspects of intestinal epithelial (patho)physiology. Cellular source and culture protocols vary between different IEO models and reliable markers for their characterization/validation are currently limited. DNA methylation has been demonstrated to play a key role in regulating gene expression and cellular function. This epigenetic mark is comparably stable and has been shown to reflect cellular identity such as tissue origin, developmental stage and age. Our genome wide DNA methylation datasets of purified human epithelium represent a unique resource, which can be used by other researchers to validate their model systems We provide the following datasets of genome-wide DNA methylation profiling by Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip: Purified intestinal epithelial cells (EpCAM+) from paediatric ileum and colon, Non-epithelial mucosal cells (EpCAM-), Whole colonic mucosal biopsies, Intestinal organoid cultures from paediatric ileum and colon, Purified intestinal epithelial cells (EpCAM+) from foetal small intestine and foetal large intestine, Intestinal organoid cultures from foetal small intestine and foetal large intestine, Intestinal organoid cultures derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. Note: Some samples in this data set were previously submitted to ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-3709. They're clearly marked in the âDescriptionâ field in sample annotations. Information about batch effect during sample handling is included in the experimental variable âblockâ. Batch effect is not massive but present, so it is recommended that batch correction is carried out in data analysis. Complementary RNA-seq data on the purified cells and organoids can be found in ArrayExpress at E-MTAB-5015 ( https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5015/ ).
