Described are cell culture solutions and systems for epithelial stem cell and organoid cultures, formation of epithelial constructs and uses of the same in transplantation. A single layer of epithelial cells that actively self-renews and is organized into crypts and villi clothes the intestine. It has been recently shown that the renewal of intestinal epithelium is driven by Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (ISC) that reside at the base of these crypts (Barker et al., 2007). Lgr5+ stem cells can be isolated and cultured in vitro to form organoids containing crypt-vcllus structures that recapitulates the native intestinal epithelium (Sato et al., 2009).
描述了用于上皮干细胞和类器官培养的细胞培养液和系统、上皮构建体的形成及其在移植中的应用。上皮细胞是一种单层上皮细胞,能主动自我更新,并被组织成隐窝和绒毛,为肠道穿衣。最近的研究表明,肠上皮细胞的更新是由位于这些隐窝底部的Lgr5+肠干细胞(ISC)驱动的(Barker等人,2007年)。Lgr5+干细胞可被分离出来并在体外培养,形成含有隐窝-绒毛结构的器官组织,从而再现原生肠上皮(Sato等人,2009年)。
