The prior application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular, to a plant source-based culture solution and preparation method, kit and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Ordinary 2D cell culture gradually loses the original characteristics due to cell proliferation in an altered environment in vitro, often not consistent with in vivo conditions. Animal experiments are completely performed in vivo, but are complicated due to various factors in vivo and the mutual influence of the in vivo and external environment, making it difficult to study single processes and intermediate processes. 3D cell culture technology is a technology between single-layer cell culture and animal experiments, which can maximize the simulation of in vivo environment and exhibit the advantages of direct visualization and controllability of cell culture.
[0004] The emergence of 3D cell culture technology provides researchers with a cell model closer to the real in vivo environment. 3D cell culture can make up for many defects in the process of single-layer cell culture, for example:
[0005] (1) 3D cell model can well simulate the in vivo cell microenvironment: gases, nutrients, metabolites and other substances show gradient changes in concentration.
[0006] (2) 3D cell model can well simulate the interaction between cells: three-dimensional cell contact and direct or indirect cell communication.
[0007] (3) 3D cell model can well simulate the biochemical and physiological reactions of cells: the response of cells to internal or external stimuli is more consistent with the real in vivo response.
[0008] Because of these advantages, 3D cell culture technology has shown excellent performance in the research fields of drug development, stem cell culture, organ regeneration, etc.
[0009] The difficulty of 3D cell culture technology is to ensure the three-dimensional structure of cells and maintain the natural proliferation and differentiation activity. With decades of continuous development, the method of 3D cell culture is also constantly innovating, and the currently commonly used methods are mainly divided into two kinds: 3D cell culture method based on scaffold and 3D cell culture method without scaffold. The 3D cell culture method based on scaffold has a long history of development and is supported by a large number of literature. The materials used for cell culture scaffolds include agarose, collagen, fibronectin, gelatin, laminin, etc. These composite materials simulate the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) through porosity, fibers, permeability and mechanical stability, which can well simulate the interaction between cells and the interaction between cells and extracellular matrix in the in vivo environment, while allowing cells to aggregate, proliferate and migrate on the scaffold.
[0010] Organoids usually need Matrigel support to form a 3D structure during the culture process. Taking the commonly used scaffold material Matrigel as an example, this material is a basement membrane matrix extracted from EHS mouse tumors rich in extracellular matrix proteins, and its main components include laminin, collagen type IV, heparin sulfate glycoprotein, nidogen, and also contains various growth factors and matrix metalloproteinases, etc. At room temperature, Matrigel polymerizes to form a three-dimensional matrix with biological activity, simulating the structure, composition, physical properties and functions of the basement membrane of cells in vivo, which is conducive to the culture and differentiation of cells in vitro, and can be used for research on cell morphology, biochemical function, migration, invasion and gene expression, etc.
[0011] Stem cells are a class of cells with proliferation and differentiation potential, which can differentiate into specific cell types of various tissues and organs. Among them, pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into all cells derived from three germ layers, form all tissues and organs, and are used for various tissue and organ repair, disease treatment and drug screening, so they have become the focus of stem cell research. Culturing stem cells is also applied to the formation, maintenance and expansion of organoids. Embryonic stem cells (EC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are currently the most studied pluripotent stem cells. However, developing stem cells is not simple, and a suitable and stable microenvironment is crucial for the culture and application of iPSC and other stem cells. Hydrogel is a porous polymer network rich in water, which has good biocompatibility, biochemical and mechanical properties for 3D stem cell culture. Although some progress has been made in the development of stem cell culture based on hydrogel, it is still challenging to inhibit the non-directional differentiation of stem cells while achieving the performance comparable to Matrigel in simulating the structure, composition, physical properties and functions of the basement membrane of cells in vivo.
[0012] Take the commonly used scaffold material basement membrane matrix (Matrigel) as an example, the material is extracted from the basement membrane matrix of EHS mouse tumor rich in extracellular matrix proteins, the main components are laminin, type IV collagen, heparan sulfate glycoprotein, nidogen, and also contain various growth factors and matrix metalloproteinases, etc. At room temperature, Matrigel polymerizes to form a three-dimensional matrix with biological activity, simulating the structure, composition, physical properties and function of the basement membrane of cells in vivo, which is beneficial to the culture and differentiation of cells in vitro, and can be used for the research on cell morphology, biochemical function, migration, invasion and gene expression, etc.
[0013] The current problems of basement membrane matrix gel are: 1) shortage of goods source caused by animal welfare problem; 2) large batch difference and difficult to control, the contained nutrients and protein components are greatly affected by batch; 3) animal source protein and nucleic acid bring interference to the drug efficacy evaluation, fluorescence detection and other links of downstream experiment; 4) the temperature sensitive characteristics of the matrix gel are strict to the temperature requirements of storage and operation links.

The premix was heated to 80°C and stirred under vacuum for 2 hours. A certain amount of substitution reagent (10% of the wood pulp weight) was dissolved in DMF (with a DMF:AMIMCl mass ratio of 1:1). The dissolved substitution reagent (e.g., pyromellitic anhydride, 4,4'-diphthalic anhydride, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic anhydride, or 1,2,3,4-cyclopentanetetracarboxylic anhydride) was added to the dissolved wood pulp solution. A certain amount of base (e.g., sodium carbonate, triethylamine, sodium borohydride, or sodium hydride) was then added. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction solution was poured into warm water at 40±5°C to form a substituted biomass gel. Wash the gel 6-8 times with a solution such as water, ethanol, DMF, or aqueous NaOH to remove any remaining impurities. Disperse the washed substituted biomass gel in pure water at a 9:1 water:substituted biomass gel mass ratio. Grind the gel using a colloid mill, high-pressure homogenizer, or other similar equipment to a particle size of 1-50 μm and a solids content of 0.1-3.0 wt%. Sterilize by autoclaving to obtain the substituted biomass-based dispersion CMG.

The culture plate was placed in a 37°C 5% CO2 incubator for 7 days.
[0451] Micrographs of gastric cancer organoids after 7 days of culture in cellulose-based culture solutions with different concentrations are shown in FIGS. 10a-10d, where FIGS. 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d correspond to cellulose-based culture solutions with concentrations of 0.8%, 0.4%, 0.2%, and 0.1%, respectively.
[0452] Example 6
[0453] The emulsion CMG prepared in Preparation Example 1 was diluted with the composite culture solution in Example 5 to obtain a cellulose-based culture solution with a CMG concentration of 0.2%.
[0454] The culture method of Example 5 was used as a reference, except that the cellulose-based culture solution of this example with a CMG concentration of 0.2% and commercially available Matrigel 3D (manufacturer: Corning, model: 356231) were used to culture gastric cancer organoids, and the culture time was 7 days.
[0455] The culture results are shown in FIGS. 11a and 11b, and the results of the culture methods using the CMG culture solution of this example and Matrigel 3D are shown in FIGS. 11a and 11b, respectively.
[0456] As shown in FIGS. 11a and 11b, the CMG group cultured organoid vesicle wall is thick and solid, which is a differentiated mature organoid, while the Matrigel group cultured gastric cancer organoid vesicle wall is thin and uneven.
[0457] Example 7-1
[0458] The culture method of this example is referred to Example 5, except that the tissue to be cultured in step 2 is replaced by intestinal cancer organoid culture tissue, and the concentration of CMG in the cellulose-based culture solution prepared in step 3 is 0.2%.
[0459] The culture results are shown in FIG. 12. The CMG cultured organoid is a mature intestinal organoid containing multiple typical complex crypt-shaped structures. These crypt structures are connected to each other, forming a mini-intestine with an intestinal lumen.
[0460] Example 7-2
[0461] The operation is the same as Example 5, except that: the tissue to be cultured in step 2 is replaced by intestinal cancer organoid culture tissue, and the CMG in step 3 is respectively the CMG with a concentration of 0.2% (mass percentage) prepared by using the surface modifier xylitol in Preparation Example 2, the CMG with a concentration of 0.2% (mass percentage) prepared by using the substitution reagent pyromellitic dianhydride in Preparation Example 3, the CMG with a concentration of 0.2% (mass percentage) prepared in Preparation Example 4, and the CMG with a concentration of 0.2% (mass percentage) prepared in Preparation Example 5; and the microscopic images of the intestinal cancer organoids after 7 days of culture are shown in FIGS. 13-16.
[0462] Comparative Example 5
[0463] This comparative example refers to the preparation of cellulose-based culture solution in Example 5, except that the emulsion CMG prepared in Preparation Example 1 is replaced by plant cellulose matrix gel GrowDex (UPM / 100103005) with a mass percentage concentration of 0.2%, which is recorded as Comparative Culture Solution 1.
[0464] Referring to step 4 of Example 5, gastric cancer tissue is cultured using the cellulose-based culture solution of Example 5 with a CMG concentration of 0.2% (mass percentage) and the Comparative Culture Solution 1 of this comparative example, respectively, which are recorded as 0.2% CMG cellulose matrix gel group and plant cellulose matrix gel GrowDex group. The results after 7 days of culture are shown in FIG. 17.
[0465] As shown in FIG. 17, compared with the 0.2% CMG group and the GrowDex group, the gastric cancer organoid vesicle wall cultured by the cellulose-based culture solution of the present application is thicker and presents a solid shape, while the gastric cancer organoid cultured by the culture solution prepared by the GrowDex matrix glue of the present comparative example is severely vesiculated and presents a low differentiation state. Therefore, the cellulose-based culture solution of the present application is more superior for the culture of gastric cancer organoids.
[0466] Comparative Example 6
[0467] The comparative example refers to the preparation of the cellulose-based culture solution and the culture of the gastric cancer tissue according to Example 5, except that the content of Epirregulin in the formula of the culture solution is different, including a group without Epirregulin, i.e., a group without Epirregulin, and a group of Epirregulin 200 ng / ml and a group of Epirregulin 500 ng / ml. The results after 7 days of culture are shown in FIG. 18.
[0468] As shown in FIG. 18, compared with the group without Epirregulin, the gastric cancer organoid spheres in the group of Epirregulin 200 ng / ml are larger in size, more in number, and have a thicker vesicle wall and present a solid shape, which is obviously superior, and therefore Epirregulin is a key component in the culture solution. Compared with the group of Epirregulin 200 ng / ml, the group of Epirregulin 500 ng / ml has no obvious difference, and therefore the optimal concentration of Epirregulin is 200 ng / ml.
[0469] Comparative Example 7
[0470] The comparative example refers to Comparative Example 5, except that the tissue to be cultured is replaced by intestinal cancer organoid culture tissue.
[0471] The results of the plant cellulose matrix glue GrowDex group after 7 days of culture are shown in FIG. 19. Compared with the results of the 0.2% CMG cellulose matrix glue group after 7 days of culture (FIG. 12 in Example 7-1), the intestinal cancer organoids cultured by the cellulose-based culture solution of the present application have advantages in size and structural complexity.
[0472] As shown in the above examples, the tumor organoid 3D culture kit and culture method based on the natural cellulose glue (CMG) of the present application are simple to operate and can obtain differentiated mature organoids.
[0473] Example 8 Culture of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells / Embryonic Stem Cells
[0474] 1) Before passaging stem cells, dilute plant hydrogel CMG with DMEM / F12 to 0.8% (mass percent concentration) and add to 6-well plates, 1 ml / well, and place in a 37°C incubator for at least 1 hour.
[0475] 2) Passaging stem cells, cells in culture dish are about 85-90% confluent and essentially undifferentiated. After aspirating stem cell culture medium mTeSR TM 1 (STEMCELL, 85850), overlay each well with 1 ml Dispase (1 mg / ml) and place in a 37°C incubator until the stem cell edges begin to lift, aspirate the Dispase.
[0476] 3) Wash 3 times with DPBS, 1 ml each time.
[0477] 4) Add 3 ml pre-warmed mTeSR TM 1 to the well, gently pipette to dislodge the stem cells from the well plate, repeat pipetting until the cell clumps are broken up into 1-2 mm pieces.
[0478] 5) Stem cell pieces are aliquoted at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:6 into the well plates covered with plant hydrogel CMG from step 1), and supplemented with mTeSR TM 1 medium (STEMCELL, 85850) to 2 ml, gently tap the side of the 6-well plate culture dish 5 to 10 times to ensure the stem cell colonies are evenly distributed in the air, and culture in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator with daily medium change.
[0479] Example 9 Human pluripotent stem cell / embryonic stem cell induced differentiation of intestinal organoids using the plant hydrogel of Preparation Example 1
[0480] 1. Monolayer iPSC / ES Differentiation
[0481] Differentiate in TC-treated 24-well cell culture plates, dilute plant hydrogel CMG of Preparation Example 1 with DMEM / F12 to 0.8% (mass percent concentration) and add to 24-well plates, 0.3 ml / well, and place in a 37°C incubator for at least 1 hour. Before starting the differentiation, assess the differentiation rate and starting density of the cells. At this time, the cell differentiation rate should be less than 5% and the starting density should reach 85-90%.
[0482] (1) Definitive endoderm differentiation
[0483] A. Preparation of definitive endoderm differentiation medium
[0484] Day 0: Prepare the required definitive endoderm differentiation medium (RPMI 1640 with L-glutamine (final concentration 2 mM), penicillin-streptomycin (final concentration 100 U / ml-100 g / ml) and Activin A (final concentration 100 ng / ml), 0.5 mL per culture well) for Day 0, Day 1 and Day 2.
[0485] B. Definitive endoderm differentiation
[0486] 1) Day 0: Pre-warm the required definitive endoderm differentiation medium (0.5 mL / well) for Day 0 at 37°C, store the remaining medium at 2-8°C, aspirate the mTeSR1 in the culture well. TM 1, add 0.5 mL of definitive endoderm differentiation medium dropwise along the well wall. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 95% humidity for 24 hours.
[0487] 2) Day 1: Pre-warm the definitive endoderm differentiation medium (0.5 mL / well) at 37°C, aspirate the medium in the culture well, add 0.5 mL of definitive endoderm differentiation medium dropwise along the well wall. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 95% humidity for 24 hours.
[0488] 3) Day 2: Aspirate the medium in the culture well, add 0.5 mL of 37°C pre-warmed definitive endoderm differentiation medium dropwise along the well wall. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 95% humidity for 24 hours.
[0489] Note: During the endoderm induction process, cells will undergo a large amount of death. Minimize the time the cells are outside the 37°C incubator as much as possible. After 24 hours of endoderm induction, the cells are very sensitive and require gentle medium changes when culturing. After 72 hours of incubation, a dense confluent monolayer of endoderm cells will be formed.
[0490] (2) Mid / Hindgut (MH) differentiation
[0491] A. MH differentiation medium
[0492] Day 3: Prepare the required MH differentiation medium (RPMI 1640 with 2% FBS, L-glutamine (final concentration 2 mM), penicillin-streptomycin (final concentration 100 U / ml-100 g / ml), FGF4 (final concentration 500 ng / ml), 0.5 mL per culture well) for Days 3-8.
[0493] B. Mid / Hindgut (MH) differentiation
[0494] 1) Day 3: Warm sufficient volume of MH differentiation medium (0.5 mL / well) to room temperature (15-25 °C), aspirate medium from culture wells, add 0.5 mL of mid / hindgut (MH) differentiation medium dropwise along the well walls. Incubate at 37 °C, 5% C02 and 95% humidity for 24 hours.
[0495] 2) Days 4-9: Change medium completely and observe spheroids every 24 hours according to the following protocol.
[0496] Note: Ensure that cultures are returned to the incubator within 30 minutes of removal.
[0497] a. Observe monolayer under a microscope. Three-dimensional structures can appear as early as day 4 of differentiation. Free-floating mid / hindgut spheroids will appear on days 6-9 of differentiation.
[0498] b. Using a 1 mL pipette, remove 0.5 mL of medium from the cells and transfer to a sterile 24-well flat bottom clear culture plate to assess the number and concentration of mid / hindgut spheroids extracted from the monolayer.
[0499] c. Add 0.5 mL of fresh MH medium to the cells. Incubate at 37 °C, 5% C02 and 95% humidity for 24 hours.
[0500] Note: Although spheroids released on days 6-9 will all generate small intestinal organoids, the length of time the cells are cultured in mid / hindgut medium will determine the regional identity of the small intestinal organoids that develop. For example, duodenum (shorter culture time) or ileum (longer culture time). The time of appearance of the highest yield of mid / hindgut spheroids can vary depending on the hPSC cell line. For reproducible experimental results, use mid / hindgut spheroids differentiated at the same time point for consistent harvesting and initiation of human intestinal organoid culture.
[0501] 3) Spheroid Embedding: Suspend spheroids in each culture well with a 0.5% BSA rinsed pipette into one culture well of a 24-well plate for counting. Add appropriate volume to a 15 mL centrifuge tube for approximately 50 suspended spheroids (based on previous spheroid count).
[0502] A mid / hindgut spheroid is a cell aggregate with a diameter > 75 pm that can form a human intestinal organoid. Multiple fused spheroids should be counted as one unit that will form a human intestinal organoid.
[0503] Remaining monolayer cultures can be used to assay for mid / hindgut formation or to study further differentiation into spheroids over the next few days.
[0504] 2. Human intestinal organoid culture
[0505] (1) Initial culture of human intestinal organoids
[0506] A. Formulation of Intestine Organoid Growth Medium
[0507] 1) Culture in 24-well low attachment culture plates. Prepare 4-well (0.5 mL / well) of Intestine Organoid Growth Medium (Advanced DMEM / F12 with 1x B27, with L-glutamine (final concentration 2 mM), penicillin-streptomycin (final concentration 100 U / ml-100 g / ml), HEPES buffer (final concentration 15 mM), R-spondin 1 (final concentration 500 ng / ml).
[0508] B. Mixing of Plant Hydrogel CMG with Spheres
[0509] 1) Centrifuge the collected sphere suspension from the mid / hindgut (MH) differentiation described in Step B at 300 x g for 5 minutes. Carefully aspirate the supernatant after centrifugation.
[0510] 2) Add 1 mL of DMEM / F-12 + 15 Mm HEPES to the spheres. Centrifuge at room temperature (15-25 °C) at 300 x g for 5 minutes.
[0511] 3) Carefully aspirate the supernatant with 1 mL of pipette tip.

[0520] Micrographs of human pluripotent stem cell / embryonic stem cell induced differentiation intestinal organoids after 3, 7, 12 days of culture according to the present example are shown in Figures 20a-20c.
[0521] Example 10
[0522] The culture of human pluripotent stem cell / embryonic stem cell induced differentiation intestinal organoids was performed according to the culture method of Example 9, using the xylitol surface-modified biomass-based dispersion CMG prepared in Preparation Example 2, the substituted biomass-based dispersion CMG in which the substituting agent was pyromellitic dianhydride prepared in Preparation Example 3, the multi-component biomass-based dispersion CMG in which the high molecular compound was methyl cellulose prepared in Preparation Example 4, and the multi-component biomass-based dispersion CMG in which the high molecular compound was methyl cellulose prepared in Preparation Example 5, respectively. Micrographs of the intestinal organoids after 12 days of culture are shown in Figures 21-24.
[0523] Comparative Example 8
[0524] iPSCs were cultured using 0.8% of the plant hydrogel CMG prepared in Preparation Example 1 and Matrigel (Coming 354277) according to the culture method of Example 8, respectively. The results are shown in Figures 25a, 25b.
[0525] Both groups had clear colony edges, uniform cell size, and a relatively high nucleus-cytoplasm ratio, representing a better stem cell state and a state of undifferentiated cells. This indicates that the plant hydrogel CMG and Matrigel have comparable performance in culturing stem cells.
[0526] Comparative Example 9
[0527] The culture was performed according to the culture method of Example 9, using the induced differentiation intestinal organoid kit containing 0.3% of the plant hydrogel CMG prepared in Preparation Example 1 and STEMdiff TM Intestinal Organoid Kit (stern cell, 05140), respectively. Micrographs of the human pluripotent stem cell / embryonic stem cell induced differentiation intestinal organoids after 12 days are shown in Figures 26a, 26b.
[0528] Both groups could culture mature intestinal organoids containing multiple crypt structures, and these crypt structures were connected to each other to form a mini-intestine with a lumen in the middle. However, the kit of the present application is even superior to the comparative kit, and the formed intestinal organoids have a more typical and complex crypt reentrant structure.
