Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological technology, specifically to a method for constructing equine placental organoids. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, studies have successfully constructed equine endometrial organoids (Verstraete et al., 2025) and equine chorionic villi organoids (Thompson et al., 2023), and their structure, function, and hormone secretion capabilities have been identified. However, the placenta is a complex organ formed by the maternal endometrium and fetal chorion. Existing technologies can only simulate the maternal or fetal portion individually and cannot reproduce the cell interactions, invasive behavior, and tissue structural changes of the placenta during implantation. Therefore, using only a single type of organoid has significant limitations in studying the molecular mechanisms related to pregnancy, implantation, or the placenta. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problem that existing technologies cannot simulate the complete formation process of the equine placenta, this invention aims to establish an in vitro co-culture model of equine placental organoids that can simulate embryo implantation and placental formation, providing a reliable experimental platform for studying equine placental development, implantation mechanisms, and pregnancy-related diseases.
[0004] To fill the gap in existing equine placental organoid models, this invention provides a method for constructing equine placental organoids. The core concept of this method is: first, to construct chorionic organoids representing the fetal portion and endometrial organoids representing the maternal portion, respectively; then, through an optimized co-culture system, to simulate the embryo implantation process in vitro, forming a composite placental organoid that combines structural and functional characteristics.
[0005] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for constructing equine placental organoids.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:
[0007] A method for constructing equine placental organoids, the method comprising:
[0008] Constructing chorionic organoids;
[0009] Constructing endometrial organoids;
[0010] Choriocarpic organoids and endometrial organoids were co-inoculated in low-adhesion U-shaped 96-well plates for co-culture to form equine placental organoids that can simulate embryo implantation and placental formation.
[0011] Furthermore, the chorionic organoids include equine chorionic band organoids or equine chorionic allantoic organoids;
[0012] The method for constructing the equine chorionic band organoid or equine chorionic band organoid includes:
[0013] Horse embryos at 30 days of gestation were harvested, and chorionic zona pellucida and allantoic chorionic villi were isolated under sterile conditions. These tissues were then separated using pre-cooled, calcium-free saline solution. 2+ Mg 2+ Wash thoroughly with PBS solution and chop into 1-2 mm pieces. 3 Small pieces;
[0014] The fragments of chorionic villi were transferred to DMEM / F12 digestion solution containing 0.4 mg / mL collagenase V and digested at 37°C for 5 minutes. Alternatively, the fragments of allantochorionic villi were transferred to DMEM / F12 digestion solution containing 1 mg / mL collagenase I and digested at 37°C for 1 hour, with intermittent gentle pipetting during digestion. After digestion, serum-containing culture medium was added to terminate digestion. The cell suspension was filtered through a 70 μm cell sieve, centrifuged, and the cell pellet was collected to obtain chorionic villi cells or allantochorionic villi cells.
[0015] The cell pellet was resuspended in trophoblast organoid medium and centrifuged. Then it was mixed with Matrigel to form a Matrigel dome in a preheated 24-well culture plate. After the colloid polymerized at 37°C, it was cultured in trophoblast organoid medium and then desorbed by Matrigel to obtain the equine choriocartilaginous organoid or equine choriocartilaginous organoid.
[0016] Furthermore, the composition of the trophoblast organoid culture medium is as follows: based on DMEM / F12, and supplemented with the following components: 1% N2 additive, 2% B27 additive, 1.25 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine, 100 ng / mL recombinant human FGF2, 50 ng / mL recombinant human EGF, 50 ng / mL recombinant human HGF, 2 μM CHIR99021, 0.5 μM TGFβ / Alk inhibitor A83-01, 10 μM ROCK inhibitor Y-27632, 1% ITS additive, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1% penicillin and streptomycin;
[0017] The culture conditions are as follows: cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, with half of the culture medium replaced every 2-3 days, and organoids passaged every 7-14 days at a ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.
[0018] Furthermore, the method for constructing the endometrial organoid includes:
[0019] Endometrial tissue was collected from mares, washed with PBS, and then minced into 1-2 mm pieces. 3 Small pieces;
[0020] The fragments of endometrial tissue were transferred to DMEM / F12 digestion solution containing 1 mg / mL collagenase I and digested on a shaker at 37°C for 1.5 hours.
[0021] After digestion, serum-containing culture medium was added to stop the digestion. The cell suspension was filtered through a 100μm cell sieve, then filtered through a 40μm cell sieve and washed on the reverse side to collect the cells. After centrifugation, the cell pellet was obtained.
[0022] Cells were resuspended in pre-cooled Matrigel to form a Matrigel dome in a 24-well culture plate. Endometrial organoid complete culture medium was added to the wells to completely cover the dome for culture. The endometrial organoids were then desorbed from the Matrigel to obtain the organoids.
[0023] Furthermore, the composition of the complete endometrial organoid culture medium is as follows: based on DMEM / F12 medium, supplemented with the following components: 1% N2 additive, 2% B27 additive, 1.25 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine, 1 mM nicotinamide, 50 ng / mL recombinant human EGF, 50 ng / mL recombinant human FGF10, 100 ng / mL recombinant human Noggin, 0.5 μM TGFβ / Alk inhibitor A83-01, 10 μM SB202190, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1% penicillin and streptomycin;
[0024] The culture conditions are as follows: cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, with half of the culture medium replaced every 2-3 days.
[0025] Furthermore, the cell ratio of the chorionic organoids to the endometrial organoids is 1:1;
[0026] The culture medium used for co-culture was DMEM / F12 as the basal medium, supplemented with the following components: 1% N2 additive, 2% B27 additive, 1.25mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine, 10μM ROCK inhibitor Y-27632, 100ng / mL recombinant human FGF2, 50ng / mL recombinant human EGF, 1% ITS additive, 100ng / mL BMP4, 2mM L-glutamine, 5% Matrigel, 1% penicillin and streptomycin;
[0027] The co-culture conditions were: 37℃, 5% CO2, 5% O2, with half of the culture medium replaced with fresh medium every 2 days, and co-cultured for 5 days.
[0028] The co-culture medium used in this invention retains and unifies the essential additives (N2, B27, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, glutamine, and antibiotics) and growth factors (EGF, FGF2) required by both organisms, and uses a ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632) to reduce apoptosis. 1% ITS provides additional growth support for cell contact and early interface formation; CHIR99021 and Noggin are removed to avoid overactivation or inhibition of the Wnt and BMP pathways, preventing excessive proliferation or differentiation imbalance of one organoid; 100 ng / mL BMP4 is added, a factor that plays an important role in early embryonic development and helps guide the correct interaction between the trophoblast and epithelial cells; 5% Matrigel is added to provide trace but crucial extracellular matrix in the medium, mimicking in vivo and in vitro matrix components, providing the necessary physical and biochemical support for the adhesion, migration, and three-dimensional reconstruction of both organoids.
[0029] Further, the method for desorbing the matrix gel includes: transferring the organoid and matrix gel mixture into a centrifuge tube, regurgitating it 5-10 times to break down the matrix gel, centrifuging, removing the supernatant, adding organoid recovery solution, incubating on ice for 30 minutes, and regurgitating it every 5 minutes until the matrix gel is decomposed from the organoid, centrifuging, removing the supernatant, and washing with ice-cold DMEM / F12.
[0030] Furthermore, the method further includes: fluorescently labeling the chorionic organoids prior to co-culturing.
[0031] Furthermore, the specific process of fluorescent labeling includes:
[0032] The chorionic organoids, EGFP lentivirus particles and 10 μM polyglobulin were mixed, centrifuged at 300g for 60 min, and after transduction, the viral supernatant was discarded. After washing with PBS, the cells were resuspended in matrix gel and cultured in trophoblast organoid culture medium to finally obtain fluorescently labeled trophoblast organoids that stably express EGFP.
[0033] The culture conditions are as follows: cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, with half of the culture medium replaced every 2-3 days, and organoids passaged every 7-14 days at a ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.
[0034] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages:
[0035] This invention innovatively co-cultures equine trophoblast organoids and endometrial organoids in low-adhesion U-shaped plates, utilizing an optimized culture medium to promote their contact and interaction through both physical and biochemical means. The resulting composite organoids not only structurally mimic the placenta but also functionally simulate the "invasion" and "implantation" of the chorionic zona and allantochorionic trophoblast onto the endometrium, providing a novel in vitro model for studying equine placental biology and implantation mechanisms. Furthermore, laser confocal microscopy was used to verify the structural integrity and functional characteristics of the composite placental organoids.
[0036] This invention overcomes the limitation of existing technologies that can only construct single-type organoids. By innovatively co-culturing equine endometrial organoids with fluorescently labeled trophoblast organoids in low-adhesion U-shaped plates, a three-dimensional model capable of fully simulating the maternal-fetal interface was established. This technological breakthrough makes it possible to study cell interactions during embryo implantation, filling a long-standing technological gap in this field. Attached Figure Description

These results indicate that equine endometrial organoids can be used to construct composite placental organoids.
[0087] Example 3 Construction of composite placental organoids
[0088] 1. Experimental methods and procedures
[0089] Fluorescent labeling of trophoblast organoids: To track the attachment and invasion behavior of chorionic organoids in the co-culture system, stable fluorescent labeling of trophoblast cells is necessary before co-culture. First, equine chorionic band organoids or equine allantoic chorionic organoids are released from the matrix gel and dissociated into single-cell suspensions using a combination of mechanical pipetting and enzymatic digestion. Specifically, the organoid suspension dissociated at 4°C is repeatedly pipetted and centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 minutes. The supernatant is discarded, digestion solution is added, and the suspension is treated at 37°C for 15 minutes. Digestion is then terminated with DMEM / F-12 containing 10% FBS, and single cells are obtained through fine pipetting. Lentiviral transduction is then performed: Single cells are mixed with EGFP lentivirus particles and 10 μM polyglobulin, and the rotational seeding method (centrifugation at 300g for 60 min) significantly improves infection efficiency. After transduction, the viral supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed with PBS, resuspended in matrix gel, and cultured in organoid culture medium. Finally, fluorescently labeled feeder organoids that stably expressed EGFP were obtained, laying the foundation for subsequent real-time observation of cell interactions during co-culture.
[0090] Establishment of the co-culture system: The constructed and identified equine endometrial organoids, equine chorionic band organoids, and equine allantochorionic organoids were released from the cultured matrix gel and prepared as individual organoid suspensions. Specifically, the organoid and matrix gel mixture was gently scraped off with a pipette tip and transferred to a 15 ml centrifuge tube. After disintegrating the matrix gel by pipetting 5-10 times, the tube was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 minutes. After removing the supernatant, organoid recovery solution was added and the tube was incubated on ice for 30 minutes, with pipetting every 5 minutes until the matrix gel was disintegrated from the organoids. Then, the tube was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and the tube was washed twice with ice-cold DMEM / F12. Finally, 500 ml of co-culture medium was added and the tube was transferred to a 24-well plate. Equine endometrial organoids and equine chorionic villi organoids (cell ratio 1:1), or equine endometrial organoids and equine allantochorionic villi organoids (cell ratio 1:1), were co-seeded into 96-well plates with a low-adhesion U-shaped bottom using a pipette under a stereomicroscope, and 100 μl of co-culture medium was added for 5 days of incubation. Figure 1 As shown.
[0091] Culture conditions: Incubate in an incubator at 37℃, 5% CO2, and 5% O2, replacing half of the culture medium with fresh medium every 2 days.
[0092] Model validation: Images were taken using a live-cell imaging system 5 days later. Specifically, after 5 days of culture, the resulting composite placental organoids were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with DAPI. Finally, the formation of a composite structure similar to the maternal-fetal interface of the placenta in a mare was verified using a laser confocal microscopy system.
[0093] Co-culture medium: This medium is based on DMEM / F12 and has been optimized for co-culture characteristics.
[0094] 1% N2 additive (Thermo Fisher, Gibco); 2% B27 additive (Thermo Fisher, Gibco), 1.25 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine (sigma Aldrich), 10 μM ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 (EnzoLife Sciences), 100 ng / mL recombinant human FGF2 (MCE), 50 ng / mL recombinant human EGF (MCE), 1% ITS additive (Gibco), 100 ng / mL BMP4 (Gibco), 2 mM L-glutamine (sigma Aldrich), 5% Matrigel (Corning), and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (Gibco).
[0095] 2. Experimental Results
[0096] The test results are as follows Figure 4 , 5 and Figure 6 As shown. Figure 4 This indicates that after screening with EGFP virus infection, equine chorionic villus cells and equine allantoic chorionic villus cells can construct organoids with green fluorescent markers, which facilitates the differentiation of organoid origins in subsequent composite placental organoids. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The final result of this invention is that, after co-culturing equine endometrial organoids with EGFP-containing equine chorionic villi organoids, the chorionic villi organoids invaded the endometrial organoids, significantly altering the structure of the invaded portion and forming an in vitro-like invasive placental structure. After co-culturing equine endometrial organoids with EGFP-containing equine allantochorionic villi organoids, the allantochorionic villi organoids attached to the surface of the equine endometrial organoids, forming an in vitro-like non-invasive placental structure. These results indicate that the composite placental organoids constructed in this invention morphologically and functionally mimic embryo implantation and endometrial cup formation during early pregnancy in mares.

Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
