Geração de organoides gástricos humanos a partir de biópsias de endoscopia digestiva alta

Organoids are miniature three-dimensional (3D) cellular structures that resemble the architecture and functionality of the organs from which they were derived1,2. These lab-grown models are created by cultivating stem cells or tissue-specific cells in a controlled environment that allows these cells to self-organize and differentiate into various cell types1,2,3. One of the key advantages of organoids is their ability to recapitulate human biology more closely than traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures1,2,3. In particular, human organoids have been shown to maintain the genetic diversity of their tissue of origin3,4,5. Organoids offer a unique opportunity to study human organ development, model diseases, and test potential therapeutics in a controlled laboratory setting. Furthermore, organoids can be derived from individual patient samples, enabling personalized medicine approaches and the potential development of individualized treatments3,6,7.
Researchers have used human gastric organoids to investigate various aspects of gastric biology and pathology. Prominent examples include the use of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) to predict gastric cancer chemotherapy responses8,9,10 and model the epithelial response to Helicobacter pylori infection11,12,13. Human gastric organoids consist of various cell types found in the stomach, including neck cells, pit cells, and other supporting cells11,14. Gastric organoids can either be generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) or stem cells directly isolated from gastric tissue obtained via biopsies or from gastric resection specimens11,14. The isolation of gastric stem cells from gastric tissue is commonly done by isolating and culturing gastric glands or enzymatically digesting tissue samples to liberate single cells9,13,15. Importantly, the differentiation of cells within gastric organoids generated using either of these techniques has been shown to be similar13. The protocol described herein focuses on a single-cell digest.
Organoids represent a scientific innovation that bridges the gap between traditional cell culture and whole organs. As research in the field continues to progress, organoids are poised to contribute to the development of more effective treatments and therapies for a wide range of applications. Given the rising utilization of gastric PDOs, there is a timely need for a standardized approach to their generation. Here, the protocol for generating human gastric PDOs from single cells isolated from benign gastric biopsy tissue acquired during upper endoscopy is described. Importantly and uniquely, a standardized number of single cells is determined for seeding to reliably generate gastric PDOs and allow subsequent characterization. Using this technique, reliable differences in the formation and growth of organoids generated from biopsies of either the gastric body or gastric antrum are demonstrated.

Our research focuses on hereditary causes of gastric cancer. In particular, we're interested in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer due to disease-causing variants in either the CDH1 or CTNNA1 gene. We also investigate the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in gastric cancer risk and carcinogenesis.Organoids are increasingly being utilized in a variety of research domains and gastroenterology is no exception, so with this comes a need for standardization of these techniques to generate these organoids, in particular patient-derived gastric organoids. Our protocol offers a step-by-step method to reliably generate patient-derived gastric organoids from biopsies of both the antral and body regions of the stomach. In particular, we utilize a single-cell digest approach to allow for standardized seeding of cells in an effort to make reliable comparisons amongst organoids generated from different patients.Our findings show that compared to patient-derived gastric organoids from the body region of the stomach, those from the antral region actually grow more numerous and larger in size over the course of 20 days post initial seeding. These findings should be taken into account by researchers looking to utilize gastric organoids derived from different regions of the stomach.

Incorporação de células únicas derivadas da biópsia gástrica em uma cúpula de matriz de membrana basal para geração de organoides

Para começar, remova a matriz da membrana basal descongelada do gelo. Adicione o volume calculado da matriz da membrana basal às células únicas derivadas da biópsia gástrica e misture suavemente pipetando para cima e para baixo por aproximadamente 10 segundos. Em seguida, usando uma pipeta, transferir rapidamente, alíquotas de 50 microlitros da matriz e mistura celular para o centro de poços individuais em uma placa de cultura de tecido de 24 poços.Tampe a placa imediatamente e, em um único movimento suave, vire a placa de cabeça para baixo. Colocar a placa invertida em uma incubadora de cultura de tecidos de 37 graus Celsius por 35 minutos para permitir que a matriz da membrana basal se polimerize. Em seguida, adicione 500 microlitros de meio organoide gástrico pré-aquecido a cada poço, garantindo que o topo de cada cúpula esteja totalmente submerso na mídia.Os organoides são geralmente identificáveis dentro de 10 dias após a semeadura de células únicas. No dia 20, eles são grandes e normalmente precisam ser passados. O número de organoides corporais e antrais atinge o pico no dia 10 após a semeadura antes de diminuir, embora não significativamente.Os organoides gerados a partir do tecido da biópsia do manto apresentaram uma taxa de crescimento maior em comparação com os organoides gerados a partir do tecido da biópsia corporal. Em diferentes pacientes, uma diversidade de morfologia organoide foi tipicamente observada em qualquer cúpula. No entanto, em média, a espasticidade organoide apresentou pouca variação.
