Summary

Stem cell derived cultures harbor tremendous potential to model infectious diseases. Here, the culture of mouse and human gastric organoids derived from adult stem cells is described. The organoids are microinjected with the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori.

Abstract

Recently infection biologists have employed stem cell derived cultures to answer the need for new and better models to study host-pathogen interactions. Three cellular sources have been used: Embryonic stem cells (ESC), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) or adult stem cells. Here, culture of mouse and human gastric organoids derived from adult stem cells is described and used for infection with the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Human gastric glands are isolated from resection material, seeded in a basement matrix and embedded in medium containing growth factors epidermal growth factor (EGF), R-spondin, Noggin, Wnt, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 10, gastrin and transforming growth factor (TGF) beta inhibitor. In these conditions, gastric glands grow into 3-dimensional organoids containing 4 lineages of the stomach. The organoids expand indefinitely and can be frozen and thawed similarly as cell lines. For infection studies, bacteria are microinjected into the lumen of the organoids. Infected organoids are processed for imaging. The described methods can be adapted to other organoids and infections with other bacteria, viruses or parasites. This allows the study of infection-induced changes in primary cells.

Introduction

De studie van pathogenen berust op adequate modelsystemen voor de in vivo infectie na te bootsen. Voor sommige ziekteverwekkers, zijn adequate modelsystemen ontbreekt, terwijl een deel van de gebruikte systemen zijn verre van optimaal. Een voorbeeld is de maag bacterie Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), die causaal gerelateerd is aan de ontwikkeling van maagkanker. Maar in afwezigheid van een meer geschikte celcultuur systeem, vele studies die gericht zijn op de moleculaire mechanismen die ten grondslag liggen aan de ontwikkeling van kanker gebruik van kanker cellijnen, waarbij het eindpunt van de kanker cascade vertegenwoordigen analyseren. Primaire, niet- getransformeerde cellen zou een beter model voor deze studies. Echter, primaire cellen zijn alleen beschikbaar van een klein aantal donoren en kan niet gekweekt over een langere periode van tijd. De laatste jaren heeft stamcellen aanzienlijke vooruitgang nieuwe bronnen van primaire celculturen voor het onderzoek van infectiebiologie verschaffen.

Culturendrie stamcel bronnen zijn gebruikt: Embryonale stamcellen (ESC), geïnduceerde pluripotente stamcellen (iPSC) of volwassen stamcellen. Ze werden gebruikt voor het modelleren van infecties met virussen zoals cytomegalovirus 1,2 of Hepatitis C Virus 3 – 7, parasieten zoals Plasmodium falciparum 8 of 9 Toxoplasma gondii, en bacteriën, zoals Bacterioides thetaiotaomicron 10 of Salmonella enterica 11. Recentelijk zijn verschillende benaderingen bekend model infectie met H. pylori met organoids afgeleid van ESC of iPS cellen 12, muis volwassen stamcellen 21,22 of menselijke volwassen stamcellen 13-15.

De ontwikkeling van organoïde kweken van volwassen stamcellen afkomstig uit een studie waarin één stamcellen geïsoleerd uit muizen darmepitheel werden geënt in een 3-dimensionale matrix eningebed in medium dat de omgeving van het intestinale stamcellen met mitogeen zoals EGF, R-spondin nagebootst met Wnt signalering en Noggin verbeteren bot morfogeen eiwit (BMP) signalering 16 remmen. Met name deze culturen niet co-cultuur met mesenchymale cellen nodig. In deze omstandigheden is de stamcellen prolifereren en vormen kleine structuren domeinen herbergen cellen van de intestinale crypten en domeinen die de cellen van de darmvlokken bevatten. De organoids dus zelf organiseren om de in vivo situatie na te bootsen. Vandaag de dag kunnen volwassen stamcellen uit vele muizen en menselijke weefsels worden gekweekt in vitro en zichzelf organiseren in organoids dat hun in vivo tegenhanger, lijken zoals dunne darm en dikke darm 17, maag 13,18, 19,20 lever, pancreas 21 en prostaat 22.

Hier bieden we een video-protocol tot cultuur muis of menselijke maag organoids van volwassen stamcellen cells en microinject ze met H. pylori. Dit protocol is gebaseerd op eerdere verslagen 13,18. Deze methode kan worden aangepast voor het kweken en te infecteren andere organoïde culturen zoals intestinale organoids.

Protocol

1. Oprichting van Gastric organoïde Cultuur Opmerking: Dit protocol kan worden gebruikt voor het isoleren van maagklieren van muizen- of menselijk weefsel. Het is aangeraden om weefsel van ongeveer 1 cm² gebruiken. Menselijk weefsel kan worden verkregen uit de maag resectie of biopsie. Voorbereiding van Materiaal Opmerking: De gebruikte kelder matrix Matrigel. Houd de kelder matrix op ijs te allen tijde. Bewaar de kelder matrix bij -20 ° C en ontdooien op ijs voor gebrui…

Representative Results

Dit protocol maakt isolatie van maagklieren (figuur 2). Klieren worden gezaaid in de kelder matrix, die vast als druppel binnen een put, die een 3-dimensionale raamwerk rijk aan laminine en collageen om de klieren uitgroeien tot organoids (figuur 3). Organoids beginnen meestal als kleine cysten en binnen 12-16 dagen, ze uit te breiden naar gebieden met een diameter van 50-300 micrometer (Figuur 4). Sommige organoids zal cystic blijven, zullen sommige kleine oculaties on…

Discussion

This protocol describes the use of ever-expanding, untransformed primary organoids from adult stem cells for infection biology. Critical steps are i) the isolation of viable glands, ii) expansion of organoids and iii) the microinjection. Below are some suggestions for modifications, troubleshooting and technical considerations.

Compared to other isolation methods, which use vigorous shaking or pipetting to release glands and can be equally successful, the technique presented here has the adva…
