The invention relates to the field of
cell culture, and discloses a pancreatic
islet organ and a culture method thereof, the method realizes differentiation of
human induced pluripotent stem cells to functional pancreatic
islet organs through sequential stage conversion, and the method comprises the following steps: in a two-dimensional culture stage, pancreatic
progenitor cells are induced by adopting a specific factor combination; in the three-dimensional maturation stage, the cells are promoted to be self-assembled into a
pancreas islet-like structure through a
suspension culture technology. The
diameter of the cultured islet organ is 100-200 [mu] m, the islet organ contains alpha, beta and
delta cells, the proportion of the alpha, beta and
delta cells is close to that of natural islet, and the
insulin secretion amount under the stimulation of 16.7 mM glucose reaches 2.5 times or above of the
basic level. According to the invention, the serum-free chemically defined culture medium is adopted to replace animal source components, and an optimized
suspension culture process is combined, so that the technical problems of nonuniform size, insufficient
functional activity, strong
matrigel dependence and the like of organoids in a traditional method are solved, and a standardized and large-scale
cell source is provided for
diabetes treatment.
