Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organoid culture, and in particular to a construction and identification method of a MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoid and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is more common in women than men in all age groups and populations; the male-female ratio is highest during the childbearing years. SLE can affect any organ, but it usually damages the kidneys. Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common complication of SLE, and 10% to 20% of LN patients will develop end-stage renal disease within 5 years of diagnosis, which is life-threatening.

[0003] The pathogenesis of LN is complex and is currently believed to be related to genetics, neuroendocrine, environment (ultraviolet light, drugs), viral infection, etc. These factors cause in situ immune complexes to deposit in renal tissue, leading to excessive proliferation of lymphoid tissue, formation of autoantibodies, activation of complement and multiple cytokines in the kidney, and abnormal proliferation and differentiation of parenchymal or interstitial cells such as glomerular mesangial cells, endothelial cells, and podocytes, leading to changes in renal function. The pathogenesis of LN involves multiple pathogenic mechanisms. The extrarenal causes of systemic lupus are based on a variety of combinations of genetic variations that impair the mechanisms that usually ensure immune tolerance to nuclear self-antigens.

[0004] The diagnosis and treatment of LN are challenging and mainly rely on renal biopsy, and there are no reliable non-invasive biomarkers for LN. So far, the complete remission rate of LN is only 20% to 30% after 6 months of standard treatment, which is far from satisfactory. In addition, the adverse reactions of immunosuppressants, especially glucocorticoids, further impair the prognosis of LN.

[0005] Biological agents targeting autoimmune reactions and inflammatory pathways have brought hope for the treatment of refractory lupus. Animal models are needed for the screening of preparations and the evaluation of drug efficacy. MRL / Lpr lupus mice are an animal model of autoimmune diseases similar to human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, MRL / lpr lupus mice are expensive and have a long cycle, which is not conducive to large-scale drug screening and evaluation.

[0006] Organoids are a newly developed in vitro three-dimensional culture technology. Compared with conventional cell line culture, the tissue structure and function formed by the organoid culture system are more complex, with advantages such as high fitting degree, stable passage, short culture cycle, and high success rate. It is currently an ideal in vitro culture model. Because it maintains the key characteristics of the parental tissue, organoids can be used for drug screening, disease modeling, etc., to contribute to personalized treatment. Therefore, the construction of MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoids is of great significance for the study of systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis. However, there is currently no better technical solution for the construction of lupus nephritis organoids. There is no method to identify lupus nephritis organoids. Summary of the invention

Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above-mentioned contents of the present invention.

The components, brands and concentrations in the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid culture medium are shown in Table 1.

[0039] Table 1:

[0040] Example 2 A method for constructing MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids, comprising the following steps: (1) Obtain kidney organ tissue from spontaneous MRL / lpr lupus female mouse model, about 30 weeks old, wash the tissue 1-2 times with PBS (containing 100 U / mL penicillin / streptomycin / gentamicin), and then cut into 1-2 mm pieces. 3Then add type IV collagenase digestion solution and digest in a 37°C shaker until the cells are digested into 2-10 cell clusters; after digestion, add an appropriate amount of PBS to stop digestion, pass through a 100 μm sieve, and then wash the filter twice with 1 mL PBS, and centrifuge the filtrate; after centrifugation, discard the supernatant of the filtrate, lyse and resuspend with 2-3 mL red blood cell lysis buffer, let stand at 4°C for 5 min, then add 2-3 times the volume of red blood cell lysis buffer PBS to stop lysis, and centrifuge at 4°C, 1000 rpm for 5 min; discard the upper layer of red blood cell lysis buffer, resuspend the cell pellet with PBS, and wash 1 to 2 times; count during the last wash, and when used for 24-well plates, evenly divide 25 w cells into 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes per well and centrifuge; when used for 96-well plates, evenly divide 5 w cells into 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes per well and centrifuge; (2) After centrifugation, discard the supernatant and resuspend the cell pellet with 75%-80% Matrigel. After resuspension, add 50 μL of Matrigel to each well of a 24-well plate (use the middle 8 wells of each well); add 20 μL of Matrigel to each well of a 96-well plate (use the middle 60 wells of each well). Invert the 24-well plate and 96-well plate with Matrigel drops and place them in an incubator at 37 °C for 30 min to wait for the Matrigel to solidify. (3) After the matrix gel solidifies, remove the 24-well plate and the 96-well plate, add 500 μL of culture medium to each well of the 24-well plate, and add 200 μL of the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid culture medium in Example 1 to each well of the 96-well plate. Seal the surrounding wells with PBS and replace the MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoid culture medium every 3 to 5 days.

[0041] The daily index detection of the spontaneous MRL / lpr lupus female mouse model in Example 2 of the present invention is about 30 weeks old. The daily detection of the changes in the weight, anti-dsDNA, urine protein antibodies and ANA levels of the MRL / lpr lupus female mice is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0042] According to the construction method in Example 2, MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids were obtained after 14 days of culture. The morphology of MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids under a bright field microscope is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, on day 14, the typical vacuolar morphology of organoids is obvious.

[0043] Subculture after 14 to 21 days of culture: Aspirate and discard the old culture medium, add preheated Dispase Ⅱ working solution, 200 μL / well, and incubate in the incubator for 1 hour; after incubation, add 0.5 mL Advanced DMEM / F12 culture medium to the well plate, blow the matrix gel with a 1 mL pipette tip, blow the matrix gel off the well plate, collect it in a 15 mL centrifuge tube, and centrifuge it at 4°C, 1000 rpm for 5 min; discard the supernatant, add 1 mL TrypLE enzyme, blow it with a 1 mL pipette tip for 3-5 min, add 1 mL Advanced DMEM / F12 to terminate the digestion, centrifuge it at 4°C, 1000 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, add 1 mL Advanced DMEM / F12 to resuspend and wash, transfer to a 1.5 mL EP tube, and centrifuge it at 4°C, 1000 rpm for 5 min.

[0044] Discard part of Advanced DMEM / F12, leaving the required volume of Advanced DMEM / F12, gently blow away the organoid tissue, add Matrigel and blow evenly, the final concentration of Matrigel is 75% (the Matrigel needs to be kept at 4°C throughout the process); Drop Matrigel containing organoids into 24-well plates and 96-well plates; place them in an incubator upside down for 30 min and then add complete culture medium.

[0045] After multiple passages, the cultured MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids can still grow stably. The morphology of the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids under a bright field microscope after passage in the MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoid culture medium in Example 1 is as follows: Figure 2 (c) shows that on day 5, there is obvious typical vacuolar morphology of organoids.

[0046] Example 3 The organoids constructed above were identified. The specific steps are as follows: (1) The MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoids obtained in Example 2 were embedded and sectioned, and then conventional HE staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed to detect the expression of podocyte function protein nephrin.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, HE staining results showed that the organoids and the original MRL / lpr lupus kidney tissues had similar morphology. Immunofluorescence results showed that the MRL / lpr mouse kidney organoids expressed a high level of podocyte functional protein nephrin.

[0048] (2) The culture medium of the MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoid cultured at different time stages obtained in Example 2 was collected, and the levels of ANA and anti-ds-DNA antibodies in the culture medium of the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid were detected by ELISA.

[0049] Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), also known as anti-nucleic acid antigen antibodies, are a group of autoantibodies produced against DNA, RNA, protein or molecular complexes of these substances in the cell nucleus; anti-ds-DNA antibodies are characteristic marker antibodies of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and are present in the serum of more than 95% of active SLE patients. The titer of this antibody is closely related to the activity of SLE. The higher the titer, the greater the possibility that SLE is in the active stage. As the lupus kidney organoids grow, the concentration of the two antibodies detected in the secreted culture medium increases.

[0050] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the renal organoids we constructed can secrete ANA and anti-ds-DNA antibodies. It is worth noting that as the culture time increases, the levels of ANA and anti-ds-DNA antibodies secreted by renal organoids gradually increase, suggesting that the efficacy of SLE drugs can be evaluated by detecting the secretion of autoantibodies in the culture medium.

[0051] Comparative Example 1: Regarding the effects of different growth factor combinations in the culture medium on the culture results of MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids: When preparing the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid culture medium, the growth factors selected are as follows: (1) The growth factors are a combination of Noggin, EGF, and FGF 10; (2) HGF was used instead of Wnt-3a, and the growth factors were a combination of Noggin, EGF, FGF 10, and HGF; (3) The growth factors are a combination of Noggin, EGF, FGF 10, Wnt-3a and HGF.

[0052] After 14 days of stable culture in the culture medium, the results were as follows Figure 5As shown in the figure, it can be seen that when Wnt-3a is not added to the growth factor, the growth state of lupus kidney organoids is affected, and the growth state and speed are significantly inhibited; when Wnt-3a in the growth factor is replaced by the growth factor HGF, the growth state of lupus kidney organoids is also affected to a certain extent; adding a growth factor HGF, the growth state of lupus kidney organoids is not significantly affected. The above results show that the growth factor Wnt-3a is crucial for the culture of lupus kidney organoids, that is, the growth factor composed of Noggin, EGF, FGF 10 and Wnt-3a plays a synergistic role, and each component in this combination is indispensable.

[0053] Comparative Example 2: The MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid culture medium includes basal culture medium, L-glutamine, pH buffer, antioxidants, serum replacement, TGF-β receptor inhibitor, growth factor, ROCK inhibitor, cAMP pathway activator, etc. Among them, when the cAMP pathway activator Forskolin is replaced with Sp-5,6-DCl-cBIMPS.

[0054] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, when Forskolin was replaced with Sp-5,6-DCl-cBIMPS, the density and growth state of lupus kidney organoids obtained after stable culture in the culture medium for 14 days were affected, and the growth state was relatively slow, that is, the cAMP pathway activator Forskolin was replaced with Sp-5,6-DCl-cBIMPS, which inhibited the formation of MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids.

[0055] Comparative Example 3: The concentration of each component in the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid culture medium also has a significant effect on the culture results of the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids. When the concentration of the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 was changed from 10 μM in Example 1 to 10 mM, we found that the growth state of the lupus kidney organoids was negatively affected by the increase in the concentration of the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632. When the concentration of the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 was increased to 10 mM, the results of the organoids after stable culture in the culture medium for 14 days were as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it can be seen that increasing the concentration of ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 inhibited the formation of MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids.

[0056] In addition, R-spondins (RSPOs) are enhancers of Wnt / β-catenin signaling and are generally added routinely. Therefore, during the study, we also tried to add R-spondins. The results after stable culture in the culture medium for 14 days are shown in Figure 8. We found that the growth state of lupus kidney organoids was relatively slow. That is, the addition of R-spondins inhibited the formation of MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoids.

A method for constructing a MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that: The steps include: (1) Obtain MRL / lpr lupus kidney tissue and cut it into pieces of 1-2 mm 3 Small pieces, then add digestion solution, digest in a 37℃ shaker until the cells are digested into 2-10 cell clusters; after digestion, add an appropriate amount of PBS to stop digestion, pass through a 100 μm sieve, and then wash the filter twice with 1 mL PBS, and centrifuge the filtrate; after centrifugation, discard the supernatant of the filtrate, lyse and resuspend with 2-3 mL red blood cell lysis buffer, let stand at 4℃ for 5 min, add 2-3 times the volume of red blood cell lysis buffer PBS to stop lysis, and centrifuge at 4℃, 1000rpm for 5 min; discard the upper red blood cell lysis buffer, resuspend the cell pellet with PBS, and wash 1~2 times; count during the last wash, when used for 24-well plates, evenly divide 25w cells per well into 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes, and centrifuge; when used for 96-well plates, evenly divide 5w cells per well into 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes, and centrifuge; (2) After centrifugation, discard the supernatant and resuspend the cell pellet with 75%-80% Matrigel. After resuspension, add 50 μL of Matrigel to each well of a 24-well plate (use the middle 8 wells of each well); add 20 μL of Matrigel to each well of a 96-well plate (use the middle 60 wells of each well). Invert the 24-well plate and 96-well plate with Matrigel drops and place them in an incubator at 37 °C for 30 min to wait for the Matrigel to solidify. (3) After the matrix gel solidifies, remove the 24-well plate and the 96-well plate, add 500 μL of culture medium to each well of the 24-well plate, and add 200 μL of MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid culture medium to each well of the 96-well plate. Seal the surrounding wells with PBS and replace the MRL / lpr lupus mouse kidney organoid culture medium every 3 to 5 days.

10. Use of the MRL / lpr lupus kidney organoid constructed by the method of claim 9 in screening LN-related drugs or disease modeling.
