这里，我们提供了用于产生，膨胀，凝固，和人大肠组织体的解冻一完整的协议。虽然我们已经建立了人类器官样的文化前段时间17，它有时被证明很难建立在其他实验室的技术，而无需实际操作培训。我们预计，这些协议将取代这种培训。 的Wnt-3A条件培养基是为了在建立和维护长期化培养成功最关键的试剂之一。事实上，器官样的文化可能“撞车”暴露在...

CF是通过在编码上皮阴离子通道的囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节蛋白（CFTR）基因的突变引起的。 CF影响全世界约1 85000人。超过2000 CFTR突变已经确定（ <a href="http://www.genet.sickkids.on.ca">www.genet.sickkids.on.ca</a> ）。这种多样性也部分解释观察到的疾病表型（的广泛<a href="http://www.CFTR2.org">www.CFTR2.org</a> ）2，3。六类CFTR突变是基于其对CFTR蛋白表达和功能作用定义的：（I）中没有的合成，（II）中受损的贩卖，（Ⅲ）有缺陷的通道门控，（IV）中改变的电导，（V）的降低的正常水平功能CFTR，和（VI）受损细胞表面稳定性4。虽然常见CFTR突变很好的研究，CFTR功能和临床状态的关系保持poorlŸ了解在个人的水平，特别是对于大集团的罕见的“孤儿”突变（ <a href="http://www.CFTR2.org">www.CFTR2.org</a> ）1,3。 最近，药物已经开发了靶向特定突变的方式CFTR蛋白。两个班的CFTR蛋白，靶向药物，目前在临床上使用，并有行动不同的模式。增效剂，例如VX-770，增强顶部本地化突变体CFTR的开放概率和在他们除了细胞5直接作用。校正，如VX-809，恢复内质网本地化错误折叠的CFTR的贩运和要求预孵育的影响细胞前观察到6。该CFTR增强剂，VX-770，已注册的G551D突变的7，8个学科，以及为其他八位CFTR突变门控，包括S1251N 9;一起，这些突变通过所有CF患者的5％进行。其它的临床试验已经表明VX-770，与校正的VX-809相结合，限制对肺功能尚未显著影响，并导致恶化率在受试者纯合的患者10 45-50％承载的F508del突变降低， 11。 常规的临床试验，以CF患者的剩余的50％的范围内确定药物响应受试者是昂贵和费时的，并且不与非常罕见的CFTR基因型的个体是可行的。新颖，具有成本效益的，个性化的方法是，以匹配于携带任何类型的CFTR突变的个体数量的增加CFTR调节剂的关键。到现在为止，承载特定的CFTR突变的患者群体的审判列入遵循了使用H CFTR突变基因转染的研究eterologous细胞系统，随后电生理学研究中尤斯灌流室5，6，12。由于缺乏足够的CF动物模型中，在从CF肺外植体材料来源的空气-液体界面分化支气管上皮细胞的药物的功效研究已用于药物开发13，14，15。然而，肺组织外植体和侵入性操作的使用限制，以获得无疾病终末期患者支气管细胞阻碍不太常见CFTR突变的分析和预防药物测试的个性时尚。为了克服这些限制，“绿色通道”的组织，例如结肠组织体，鼻气道细胞，和从诱导的多能干细胞衍生的气道细胞，目前正在探索的个性化的药物治疗。 16，17的形式建立的协议，以培养上皮干细胞从任何胃肠器官。为人类结肠/直肠中，培养条件包括限定生长因子（表皮生长因子（EGF），胃泌素，的Wnt-3A，R脊椎蛋白3（Rspo3），和头蛋白）结合的小分子（烟酰胺，A83-01，和SB202190）在基底膜基质。在这些条件下，单个干细胞或小组织片段生长出到由高度偏振光上皮朝向外侧面向其基部侧形成封闭，囊状，三维结构。所有类型的细胞通常出现在他们正常的比例和位置。组织体可以在由每周机械破碎和再镀长时间周期进行扩展。它们是遗传和表型稳定，可以进行储存，从而允许长期扩增和生物银行17。他们是服从所有标准的细胞生物学/遗传操作和分析技术的二维细胞系18开发的。 我们最近证明CFTR功能可以在大肠癌组织体可容易地测得在毛喉素诱导肿胀（FIS）测定19,20。当暴露于毛喉素（FSK）或者，霍乱毒素，类器官迅速增加其环磷酸腺苷（cAMP）的水平，这在CFTR通道19的开口又导致。类器官来自健康个体，或从与剩余功能相关CFTR突变，受试者将随后溶胀离子和水输送到组织体腔，分泌性腹泻的体外等效的结果。大肠组织体的FIS响应以前证明是完全的CFTR相关的，通过从CFTR空个人取得组织体所指示的一个通过使用特定的药理CFTR抑制剂19次。大型主题特定数据集可以在几个星期内采取活检后得到。 在这里详细描述的FIS测定中，类器官是从可以在任何年龄和只有有限的不适21得到直肠活检中培养。类器官是由机械破碎每周传代成单隐窝，可以轻松地重新密封，并形成新的类器官。用于运行FIS测定中，〜这些扰乱小组织体30-80铺板在96孔板19的每个孔中。在测定的当天，将组织体染色用钙黄绿素绿色，它被保持活细胞内，便利实时成像的荧光细胞渗透性染料。然后，FSK，这引起了细胞内cAMP，从而激活CFTR，是为了刺激类器官肿胀加入。在心尖CFTR充当增效剂同时W¯¯添加第i个毛喉素，而认为CFTR恢复贩卖校正器加FSK之前所加的24小时。的器官样肿胀是由计算用于在福斯克林除了各时间点的所有荧光物体的总面积的相对增加的自动图像分析进行定量。 三维类器官溶胀提供了超过在2D培养的气道细胞现有电CFTR读数在尤斯灌流室的优点和缺点。一个主要优点是溶胀测定的吞吐量。细胞进行培养，并使用单一类型的培养基的测定，和一个有经验的技术人员可以培养多达25类器官样本每周，而在12患者样品定量每周约1,200个数据点。我们通常通过键入每板重复或三次测量单个实验条件，并在三个独立的孵化时间点重复这种测量。在总计约300-500小号英格尔类器官结构，则每个实验条件下，从而导致有限的技术可变性CFTR功能的非常精确的测量进行测定。这种精度使我们清楚地界定残留的功能和应对CFTR调节差异，并允许我们随手拿起携带相同的CFTR突变19，22，23，24，25例患者的遗传背景的影响。数据质量可以从显微镜图像容易地评估。而FIS是充分CFTR依赖性，它是CFTR功能的间接的测量结果，所造成的离子输送的流体传输的耦合其读出。与此相反，在尤斯灌流室直接CFTR功能测量，测量跨膜离子流26。尤斯灌流室心尖允许基底或C的选择刺激ompartments（其类器官测定不允许）;由透基底膜，心尖CFTR依赖性阴离子分泌可以有选择地测量27。

forskolin-induced swelling in intestinal organoids: an in vitro assay for assessing drug response in cystic fibrosis patients

Recently-developed cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-modulating drugs correct surface expression and/or function of the mutant CFTR channel in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF). Identification of subjects that may benefit from these drugs is challenging because of the extensive heterogeneity of CFTR mutations, as well as other unknown factors that contribute to individual drug efficacy. Here, we describe a simple and relatively rapid assay for measuring individual CFTR function and response to CFTR modulators in vitro. Three dimensional (3D) epithelial organoids are grown from rectal biopsies in standard organoid medium. Once established, the organoids can be bio-banked for future analysis. For the assay, 30-80 organoids are seeded in 96-well plates in basement membrane matrix and are then exposed to drugs. One day later, the organoids are stained with calcein green, and forskolin-induced swelling is monitored by confocal live cell microscopy at 37 &#176;C. Forskolin-induced swelling is fully CFTR-dependent and is sufficiently sensitive and precise to allow for discrimination between the drug responses of individuals with different and even identical CFTR mutations. In vitro swell responses correlate with the clinical response to therapy. This assay provides a cost-effective approach for the identification of drug-responsive individuals, independent of their CFTR mutations. It may also be instrumental in the development of future CFTR modulators.

Forskolin-induced Swelling in Intestinal Organoids: An In Vitro Assay for Assessing Drug Response in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

This protocol describes an assay for measuring CFTR function and CFTR modulator responses in cultured tissue from subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF). Biopsy-derived intestinal organoids swell in a cAMP-driven fashion, a response that is defective (or strongly reduced) in CF organoids and can be restored by exposure to CFTR modulators.

Assessing Teratogenic Changes in a Zebrafish Model of Fetal Alcohol Exposure

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a severe manifestation of embryonic exposure to ethanol. It presents with characteristic defects to the face and organs, including mental retardation due to disordered and damaged brain development. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a term used to cover a continuum of birth defects that occur due to maternal alcohol consumption, and occurs in approximately 4% of children born in the United States. With 50% of child-bearing age women reporting consumption of alcohol, and half of all pregnancies being unplanned, unintentional exposure is a continuing issue2. In order to best understand the damage produced by ethanol, plus produce a model with which to test potential interventions, we developed a model of developmental ethanol exposure using the zebrafish embryo. Zebrafish are ideal for this kind of teratogen study3-8. Each pair lays hundreds of eggs, which can then be collected without harming the adult fish. The zebrafish embryo is transparent and can be readily imaged with any number of stains. Analysis of these embryos after exposure to ethanol at different doses and times of duration and application shows that the gross developmental defects produced by ethanol are consistent with the human birth defect. Described here are the basic techniques used to study and manipulate the zebrafish FAS model.

In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of the ethanol-induced developmental damage, we have developed a zebrafish model of ethanol exposure and are exploring the physical, cellular, and genetic alterations that occur after ethanol exposure1. We then seek to find potential interventions and rapidly test them in this animal model.

Assessing Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Species Barriers with an In Vitro Prion Protein Conversion Assay

Studies to understanding interspecies transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs, prion diseases) are challenging in that they typically rely upon lengthy and costly in vivo animal challenge studies. A number of in vitro assays have been developed to aid in measuring prion species barriers, thereby reducing animal use and providing quicker results than animal bioassays. Here, we present the protocol for a rapid in vitro prion conversion assay called the conversion efficiency ratio (CER) assay. In this assay cellular prion protein (PrPC) from an uninfected host brain is denatured at both pH 7.4 and 3.5 to produce two substrates. When the pH 7.4 substrate is incubated with TSE agent, the amount of PrPC that converts to a proteinase K (PK)-resistant state is modulated by the original host&#8217;s species barrier to the TSE agent. In contrast, PrPC in the pH 3.5 substrate is misfolded by any TSE agent. By comparing the amount of PK-resistant prion protein in the two substrates, an assessment of the host&#8217;s species barrier can be made. We show that the CER assay correctly predicts known prion species barriers of laboratory mice and, as an example, show some preliminary results suggesting that bobcats (Lynx rufus) may be susceptible to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) chronic wasting disease agent.

Assessing Specificity of Anticancer Drugs In Vitro

A procedure for assessing specificity of anticancer drugs in vitro using cultures containing both tumor and non-tumor cells is demonstrated. The key element is the quantitative determination of a tumor-specific genetic alteration in relation to a universal sequence using a dual-probe digital PCR assay and the subsequent calculation of the proportion of tumor cells. The assay is carried out on a culture containing tumor cells of an established line and spiked-in non-tumor cells. The mixed culture is treated with a test drug at various concentrations. After the treatment, DNA is prepared directly from the survived adhesive cells in wells of 96-well plates using a simple and inexpensive method, and subjected to a dual-probe digital PCR assay for measuring a tumor-specific genetic alteration and a reference universal sequence. In the present demonstration, a heterozygous deletion of the NF1 gene is used as the tumor-specific genetic alteration and a RPP30 gene as the reference gene. Using the ratio NF1/RPP30, the proportion of tumor cells was calculated. Since the dose-dependent change of the proportion of tumor cells provides an in vitro indication for specificity of the drug, this genetic and cell-based in vitro assay will likely have application potential in drug discovery. Furthermore, for personalized cancer-care, this genetic- and cell-based tool may contribute to optimizing adjuvant chemotherapy by means of testing efficacy and specificity of candidate drugs using primary cultures of individual tumors.

Optimized LC-MS/MS Method for the High-throughput Analysis of Clinical Samples of Ivacaftor, Its Major Metabolites, and Lumacaftor in Biological Fluids of Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Defects in the cystic fibrosis trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR) are the cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease with life-threatening pulmonary manifestations. Ivacaftor (IVA) and ivacaftor-lumacaftor (LUMA) combination are two new breakthrough CF drugs that directly modulate the activity and trafficking of the defective CFTR-protein. However, there is still a dearth of understanding on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters and the pharmacology of ivacaftor and lumacaftor. The HPLC-MS technique for the simultaneous analysis of the concentrations of ivacaftor, hydroxymethyl-ivacaftor, ivacaftor-carboxylate, and lumacaftor in biological fluids in patients receiving standard ivacaftor or ivacaftor-lumacaftor combination therapy has previously been developed by our group and partially validated to FDA standards. However, to allow the high-throughput analysis of a larger number of patient samples, our group has optimized the reported method through the use of a smaller pore size reverse-phase chromatography column (2.6 &#181;m, C8 100 &#197;; 50 x 2.1 mm) and a gradient solvent system (0-1 min: 40% B; 1-2 min: 40-70% B; 2-2.7 min: held at 70% B; 2.7-2.8 min: 70-90% B; 2.8-4.0 min: 90% B washing; 4.0-4.1 min: 90-40% B; 4.1-6.0 min: held at 40% B) instead of an isocratic elution. The goal of this study was to reduce the HPLC-MS analysis time per sample dramatically from ~15 min to only 6 min per sample, which is essential for the analysis of a large amount of patient samples. This expedient method will be of considerable utility for studies into the exposure-response relationships of these breakthrough CF drugs.

Ivacaftor and ivacaftor-lumacaftor combination are two new CF drugs. However, there is still a dearth of understanding on their PK/PD and pharmacology. We present an optimized HPLC-MS technique for the simultaneous analysis of ivacaftor and its major metabolites, and lumacaftor.

Improved Method for the Establishment of an In Vitro Blood-Brain Barrier Model Based on Porcine Brain Endothelial Cells

The aim of this protocol presents an optimized procedure for the purification and cultivation of pBECs and to establish in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) models based on pBECs in mono-culture (MC), MC with astrocyte-conditioned medium (ACM), and non-contact co-culture (NCC) with astrocytes of porcine or rat origin. pBECs were isolated and cultured from fragments of capillaries from the brain cortices of domestic pigs 5-6 months old. These fragments were purified by careful removal of meninges, isolation and homogenization of grey matter, filtration, enzymatic digestion, and centrifugation. To further eliminate contaminating cells, the capillary fragments were cultured with puromycin-containing medium. When 60-95% confluent, pBECs growing from the capillary fragments were passaged to permeable membrane filter inserts and established in the models. To increase barrier tightness and BBB characteristic phenotype of pBECs, the cells were treated with the following differentiation factors: membrane permeant 8-CPT-cAMP (here abbreviated cAMP), hydrocortisone, and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, RO-20-1724 (RO). The procedure was carried out over a period of 9-11 days, and when establishing the NCC model, the astrocytes were cultured 2-8 weeks in advance. Adherence to the described procedures in the protocol has allowed the establishment of endothelial layers with highly restricted paracellular permeability, with the NCC model showing an average transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) of 1249 &#177; 80 &#937; cm2, and paracellular permeability (Papp) for Lucifer Yellow of 0.90 10-6 &#177; 0.13 10-6 cm sec-1 (mean &#177; SEM, n=55). Further evaluation of this pBEC phenotype showed good expression of the tight junctional proteins claudin 5, ZO-1, occludin and adherens junction protein p120 catenin. The model presented can be used for a range of studies of the BBB in health and disease and, with the highly restrictive paracellular permeability, this model is suitable for studies of transport and intracellular trafficking.

A Fluorescence-based Assay for Characterization and Quantification of Lipid Droplet Formation in Human Intestinal Organoids

Dietary lipids are taken up as free fatty acids (FAs) by the intestinal epithelium. These FAs are intracellularly converted into triglyceride (TG) molecules, before they are packaged into chylomicrons for transport to the lymph or into cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs) for intracellular storage. A crucial step for the formation of LDs is the catalytic activity of diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT) in the final step of TG synthesis. LDs are important to buffer toxic lipid species and regulate cellular metabolism in different cell types. Since the human intestinal epithelium is regularly confronted with high concentrations of lipids, LD formation is of great importance to regulate homeostasis. Here we describe a simple assay for the characterization and quantification of LD formation (LDF) upon stimulation with the most common unsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, in human intestinal organoids. The LDF assay is based on the LD-specific fluorescent dye LD540, which allows for quantification of LDs by confocal microscopy, fluorescent plate reader, or flow cytometry. The LDF assay can be used to characterize LD formation in human intestinal epithelial cells, or to study human (genetic) disorders that affect LD metabolism, such as DGAT1 deficiency. Furthermore, this assay can also be used in a high-throughput pipeline to test novel therapeutic compounds, which restore defects in LD formation in intestinal or other types of organoids.

This protocol describes an assay for the characterization of lipid droplet (LD) formation in human intestinal organoids upon stimulation with fatty acids. We discuss how this assay is used for quantification of LD formation, and how it can be used for high throughput screening for drugs that affect LD formation.

Investigating Intestinal Barrier Breakdown in Living Organoids

Organoids and three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures allow the investigation of complex biological mechanisms and regulations in vitro, which previously was not possible in classical cell culture monolayers. Moreover, monolayer cell cultures are good in vitro model systems but do not represent the complex cellular differentiation processes and functions that rely on 3D structure. This has so far only been possible in animal experiments, which are laborious, time consuming, and hard to assess by optical techniques. Here we describe an assay to quantitatively determine the barrier integrity over time in living small intestinal mouse organoids. To validate our model, we applied interferon gamma (IFN-&#947;) as a positive control for barrier destruction and organoids derived from IFN-&#947; receptor 2 knock out mice as a negative control. The assay allowed us to determine the impact of IFN-&#947; on the intestinal barrier integrity and the IFN-&#947; induced degradation of the tight junction proteins claudin-2, -7, and -15. This assay could also be used to investigate the impact of chemical compounds, proteins, toxins, bacteria, or patient-derived probes on the intestinal barrier integrity.

Here we describe a technique to quantify the barrier integrity of small intestinal organoids. The fact that the method is based on living organoids enables the sequential investigation of different barrier integrity modulating substances or combinations thereof in a time-resolved manner.

Using a Chemical Biopsy for Graft Quality Assessment

Kidney transplantation is a life-saving treatment for a large number of people with end-stage renal dysfunction worldwide. The procedure is associated with an increased survival rate and greater quality of patient&#8217;s life when compared to conventional dialysis. Regrettably, transplantology suffers from a lack of reliable methods for organ quality assessment. Standard diagnostic techniques are limited to macroscopic appearance inspection or invasive tissue biopsy, which do not provide comprehensive information about the graft. The proposed protocol aims to introduce solid phase microextraction (SPME) as an ideal analytical method for comprehensive metabolomics and lipidomic analysis of all low molecular compounds present in kidneys allocated for transplantation. The small size of the SPME probe enables performance of a chemical biopsy, which enables extraction of metabolites directly from the organ without any tissue collection. The minimum invasiveness of the method permits execution of multiple analyses over time: directly after organ harvesting, during its preservation, and immediately after revascularization at the recipient&#8217;s body. It is hypothesized that the combination of this novel sampling method with a high-resolution mass spectrometer will allow for discrimination of a set of characteristic compounds that could serve as biological markers of graft quality and indicators of possible development of organ dysfunction.

The protocol presents utilization of the chemical biopsy approach followed by comprehensive metabolomic and lipidomic analysis for quality assessment of kidney grafts allocated for transplantation.

Culture and Imaging of Human Nasal Epithelial Organoids

Individualized therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients can be achieved with an in vitro disease model to understand baseline Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) activity and restoration from small molecule compounds. Our group recently focused on establishing a well-differentiated organoid model directly derived from primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNE). Histology of sectioned organoids, whole-mount immunofluorescent staining, and imaging (using confocal microscopy, immunofluorescent microscopy, and bright field) are essential to characterize organoids and confirm epithelial differentiation in preparation for functional assays. Furthermore, HNE organoids produce lumens of varying sizes that correlate with CFTR activity, distinguishing between CF and non-CF organoids. In this manuscript, the methodology for culturing HNE organoids are described in detail, focusing on the assessment of differentiation using the imaging modalities, including the measurement of baseline lumen area (a method of CFTR activity measurement in organoids that any laboratory with a microscope can employ) as well as the developed automated approach to a functional assay (which requires more specialized equipment).

A detailed protocol is presented here to describe an in vitro organoid model from human nasal epithelial cells. The protocol has options for measurements requiring standard laboratory equipment, with additional possibilities for specialized equipment and software.

Rectal Organoid Morphology Analysis (ROMA): A Diagnostic Assay in Cystic Fibrosis

Diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is not always straightforward, especially when sweat chloride concentration is intermediate and/or less than two disease-causing CFTR mutations can be identified. Physiological CFTR assays (nasal potential difference, intestinal current measurement) have been included in the diagnostic algorithm but are not always readily available or feasible (e.g., in infants). Rectal organoids are 3D structures that grow from stem cells isolated from crypts of a rectal biopsy when cultured under specific conditions. Organoids from non-CF subjects have a round shape and a fluid-filled lumen, as CFTR-mediated chloride transport drives water into the lumen. Organoids with defective CFTR function do not swell, retaining an irregular shape and having no visible lumen. Differences in morphology between CF and non-CF organoids are quantified in the &#39;Rectal Organoid Morphology Analysis&#39; (ROMA) as a novel CFTR physiological assay. For the ROMA assay, organoids are plated in 96-well plates, stained with calcein, and imaged in a confocal microscope. Morphological differences are quantified using two indexes: The circularity index (CI) quantifies the roundness of organoids, and the intensity ratio (IR) is a measure of the presence of a central lumen. Non-CF organoids have a high CI and low IR compared to CF organoids. ROMA indexes perfectly discriminated 167 subjects with CF from 22 subjects without CF, making ROMA an appealing physiological CFTR assay to aid in CF diagnosis. Rectal biopsies can be routinely performed at all ages in most hospitals and tissue can be sent to a central lab for organoid culture and ROMA. In the future, ROMA might also be applied to test the efficacy of CFTR modulators in vitro. The aim of the present report is to fully explain the methods used for ROMA, to allow replication in other labs.
