Description

A culture medium and a method for culturing organoids with podocyte fate. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical engineering technology, specifically to a culture medium and a method for culturing organoids with podocyte fate. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Podocytes, also known as visceral epithelial cells of Bowman's capsule, attach to the outer side of the glomerular basement membrane. Together with vascular endothelial cells and the glomerular basement membrane, they form the glomerular blood filtration barrier, playing a crucial role in the kidney's filtration function. Podocyte injury is a disease characterized by abnormalities in the podocytes within the glomeruli of the kidney. Disorders of glucose metabolism, immune system dysfunction, and viral infections can all damage podocytes. Clinically, patients present with massive proteinuria, often accompanied by impaired renal tubular function.

[0004] Obtaining podocytes or podocyte-fate organoids in vitro can be used to study the pathogenesis of podocyte injury, develop therapeutic techniques, and block the occurrence of injury. However, podocytes lack proliferative capacity, making their in vitro culture challenging. Initially, other kidney cell lines were used to study the pathogenesis of podocyte diseases. It wasn't until around the 1970s that a method for isolating primary podocytes from glomeruli in vivo was established, allowing for direct study of podocytes. Because primary cells cannot proliferate or be passaged, the number of cells obtained from each primary culture is limited, restricting the application of primary podocytes. Given these limitations of primary cells, immortalization techniques were used to establish podocyte lines. While podocyte lines overcome the problem of limited podocyte numbers obtained from primary cultures, the expression of podocyte marker proteins in immortalized podocyte lines is unstable, and even phenotypic differences exist between podocyte lines of the same species. Furthermore, attempts have been made to obtain podocyte lines through induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) induction culture; however, iPSC-derived organoids exhibit poor genomic stability and pose a risk of tumorigenicity. Therefore, obtaining phenotypically stable podocytes or podocyte fate organoids has positive significance and important role in understanding and treating kidney diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention uses cells isolated from human adult kidney tissue as the object to induce and culture podocyte fate organoids. Compared with human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), it has better gene stability and can better reproduce the original tissue phenotype. From the candidate pathways that promote kidney development, differentiation and tissue regeneration, after screening with antagonist or activator small molecule compounds, three positive small molecule compounds were obtained; among them, trachomatin is a specific inhibitor of histone methyltransferase (HMT) SU(VAR)3-9, which can reduce the methylation level of H3K9, break the partial gene silencing mediated by heterochromatin, and make the chromatin open to a certain extent, leading to the induction of cell differentiation towards podocyte fate; P7C3 and P7C3-A20 are structurally similar compounds, and P7C3-A20 is a fluorinated highly active derivative of P7C3. Both of them increase NAD by binding and activating NAMPT. + This level of change leads to alterations in a series of downstream pathways, inducing cells to differentiate into podocytes.

[0045] (2) The podocyte fate organoid culture method provided by the present invention simplifies the culture system compared with the kidney organoids derived from hiPSCs; the culture medium composition based on pure compound combination without serum also greatly improves the safety of the culture products for clinical biotherapy.

[0046] (3) The podocyte fate organoids provided by the present invention are expected to be used in clinical cell therapy, disease simulation, drug toxicity screening, and disease damage mechanism research. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0049] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0050] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0051] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0052] Example 1: Culture of podocyte-determined organoids: Human adult kidney tissue was placed in a 60×16 mm culture dish. Excess blood vessels and connective tissue were removed using sterilized surgical instruments. The tissue was washed three times with 5 mL of DMEM / F12 medium, the DMEM / F12 medium was aspirated, and the tissue was minced. 5 mL of DMEM / F12 medium, 50 μL of hyaluronidase, and 50 μL of collagenase IV were added, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed by pipetting. The mixture was then incubated at 37 ℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator for 40 min, with thorough pipetting every 10 min. 5 mL of DMEM / F12 medium was added to terminate the digestion. The cells were filtered through a 70 μm filter into a 50 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged (900 rpm, 4 ℃, 5 min). The supernatant was removed. 5 mL of erythrocyte lysis buffer was added, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed by pipetting. The cells were then incubated in a 37 ℃ water bath for 10 min to lyse the erythrocytes. 5 mL of DMEM / F12 medium was added to terminate the erythrocyte lysis, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed by pipetting. The cells were then transferred to a 15% CO2 incubator. Centrifuge in mL centrifuge tubes (900 rpm, 4 ℃, 5 min), discard supernatant; add 3-4 mL DMEM / F12 medium to resuspend cells, mix well by pipetting, centrifuge, discard supernatant, repeat 2-3 times; mix DMEM / F12 medium with Matrigel at a volume ratio of 1:3, resuspend cell pellet, adjust cell concentration, mix well by pipetting, and drop the cell mixture into 6-well plates of cell suspension culture in round droplet form, with droplet diameter of about 4 mm and appropriate spacing between droplets; incubate the cell plate upright in a 37 ℃, 5% CO2 incubator for 5 min, then invert it in a 37 ℃, 5% CO2 incubator for 40 min, add 2 mL RGF medium to each well, and incubate in a 37 ℃, 5% CO2 incubator; change the medium every 2-3 days using CPP medium.

[0053] The specific components and concentrations of the CPP culture medium are as follows: 100 units / mL Penicillin-100 μg / mL Streptomycin Solution; HEPES buffer, 10 mM; GlutaMAX, 1×, 0.10 mg / mL; B-27, 1×, 0.10 mg / mL; Primocin TM 0.10 mg / mL; NAC, 1 mM; EGF, 50 ng / mL; Y27632, 10 μM; A83-01, 5 μM; R-spondin, 100 ng / mL; trachomatin, 0.1~1 μM; P7C3, 1~10 μM; P7C3-A20, 11~10 μM; each component was diluted in Advanced DMEM / F12.

[0054] Example 2: In this example, qPCR sequencing was performed on the culture products of three small molecule compounds, and the results are shown in Figure 1. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of podocyte fate-related markers in organoids cultured for 7 days at the mRNA level. It was found that the addition of chaetocin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20 to the basal medium increased the overall mRNA expression level of podocyte fate-related markers compared to the control group (basal medium with an equal amount of the small molecule solubilizer dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO). Furthermore, within a certain range, the expression level of podocyte fate markers was positively correlated with the treatment concentration and treatment time of chaetocin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

[0055] In addition, treatment with chaetocin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20 did not significantly alter / reduce the stemness characteristics of the organoids themselves (stemness genes: CD24; PROM1; CD44), as shown in Figure 4.

[0056] Considering the functions of trachomatin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20, trachomatin can significantly inhibit H3K9me2, and both P7C3 and P7C3-A20 are important activators of NAMPT. Replacing the original trachomatin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20 with homologous or anti-homocytic compounds (trachomatin homologs: BIX 01294, CM272, UNC0642; P7C3 and P7C3-A20 homologs: SBI-797812; P7C3 and P7C3-A20; anti-homocytic compound: KPT-9274) yielded the results shown in Figure 5. The results indicate that compounds with the same function as trachomatin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20 also exhibit certain podocyte fate organoid induction effects, while compounds with the opposite function to trachomatin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20 do not possess such induction effects.

[0057] In this invention, the simultaneous presence of trachomatin, P7C3, and P7C3-A20 significantly enhances the induction effect on podocyte fate organoids compared to their individual presence, as shown in Figure 6.

[0058] The immunofluorescence detection results of the induced culture products are shown in Figure 7. The culture products after culturing with the above-mentioned active ingredients showed abundant expression of podocyte fate markers. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy revealed that the culture products after culturing with the above-mentioned active ingredients exhibited abundant microstructural features related to podocyte fate, such as primary foot processes, secondary foot processes, and gap septa, as shown in Figure 8.

[0059] Adult-derived podocyte fate organoids can be used for early screening of nephrotoxicity by doxorubicin and antibiotics, and can facilitate the elucidation of mechanisms and personalized medication for rare podocyte diseases. Simultaneously, as an expandable and transplantable human podocyte bank, they will provide readily available components for microfluidic glomerular chips and bioartificial kidneys, ultimately integrating damage repair and regenerative transplantation. In short, adult-derived podocyte fate organoids can become a core hub for new drug development, toxicological evaluation, and cell therapy.

[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
