IntestiCult™-SF Organoid Growth Medium (Human)

Serum-free and conditioned medium-free cell culture medium for establishment and maintenance of human intestinal organoids

产品优势


  • Convenient, in vitro system that recapitulates many key characteristics of the adult intestinal epithelium, including intra- and intercellular signaling, self-propagating stem cell niche, and functional transport into and out of the lumen

  • Serum- and conditioned medium-free formulation

  • Suitable for use in genome editing protocols

  • Enables generation of intestinal organoids in one week

  • Complete medium formulation that delivers consistent results

  • IntestiCult™-SF Organoid Growth Medium (Human) is a complete cell culture medium for efficient establishment and long-term maintenance of organoids derived from human intestinal crypts. IntestiCult™-SF is a serum-free and conditioned medium-free formulation.

    Intestinal organoids provide a convenient in vitro organotypic culture system for studying the intestinal epithelium. Isolated intestinal crypts rapidly form complex organoids when cultured in IntestiCult™-SF. The organoids incorporate a functional lumen enclosed by a polarized epithelial cell layer containing known cell types of the adult intestinal epithelium. Maturing intestinal organoids establish protruding buds, resembling intestinal crypts of the in vivo tissues. IntestiCult™-SF supports the proliferation of intestinal epithelial stem cells from patient’s biopsies and expansion of organoid cultures derived from fresh tissue or from already established frozen stocks.

    Applications of intestinal organoid cultures include studying the development and function of intestinal epithelium, modeling intestinal diseases, and performing targeted molecule screens. Intestinal organoid cultures can also be used for investigation of adult stem cell properties and for regenerative therapy approaches, and can be further differentiated using IntestiCult™ Organoid Differentiation Medium (Human)(Catalog #100-0214).

    Data Figures

    Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF Have a Comparable Morphology to Organoids Grown in IntestiCult Organoid Growth Medium (Human)

    Figure 1. Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF Have a Comparable Morphology to Organoids Grown in IntestiCult Organoid Growth Medium (Human)

    Human intestinal organoids grown in IntestiCult™-SF and IntestiCult™ Organoid Growth Medium (Human) display similar morphological characteristics during organoid maintenance and expansion. Shown are organoids from small intestinal and colonic tissues, established and expanded in IntestiCult™-SF or IntestiCult™ OGMH. Organoids are imaged at passage 5 of culture for all images. Scale bars = 500 μm.

    IntestiCult™-SF Provides More Efficient Expansion of Intestinal Organoids Compared to IntestiCult™ OGMH

    Figure 2. IntestiCult™-SF Provides More Efficient Expansion of Intestinal Organoids Compared to IntestiCult™ OGMH

    Human intestinal organoids established from both (A) small intestinal and (B) colonic tissues display more efficient expansion during extended culture when grown in IntestiCult™-SF compared to those grown in IntestiCult™ OGMH. Shown is the cumulative expansion of organoids averaged across two separate donor lines in each medium. IntestiCult™-SF demonstrates more efficient expansion of both small intestinal and colonic organoids during extended culture.

    Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF Display Some Characteristics of the Mature Intestinal Epithelium

    Figure 3. Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF Display Some Characteristics of the Mature Intestinal Epithelium

    While organoids grown in IntestiCult™-SF display a primarily "immature" phenotype including expression of (A) intestinal stem cell marker OLFM4 and (B) proliferation marker ki67. (C, D) These organoids also display some characteristics of the mature epithelium such as the presence of goblet cells (C, Muc2), enterocytes (C, KRT20), and enteroendocrine cells (D, CHGA). Scale bars = 50 μm or 20 μm as indicated.

    Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF Display Similar Genetic Expression Profiles to Those Grown in IntestiCult™ OGMH

    Figure 4. Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF Display Similar Genetic Expression Profiles to Those Grown in IntestiCult™ OGMH

    Analysis of intestinal organoids grown in IntestiCult™-SF by qPCR of (A) Lgr5, (B) Muc2, (C) Krt20, and (D) ChgA demonstrates similar genetic expression profiles to those grown in IntestiCult™ OGMH, as well as to colonic and small intestinal tissue (A-D; x and + respectively). All expression levels are shown relative to ACTB and TBP house-keeping genes (HKGs). (E) Further analysis of three separate donors grown in IntestiCult™-SF (circles) IntestiCult™ OGMH (triangles), and published medium (squares) by principle component analysis demonstrates that differences between cultures are primarily due to donor variability with samples forming distinct clusters separated by donor, rather than by medium.

    IntestiCult™-SF Enables Efficient Expansion of Intestinal Organoids from Polyp Tissue

    Figure 5. IntestiCult™-SF Enables Efficient Expansion of Intestinal Organoids from Polyp Tissue

    Intestinal organoids were established from both normal epithelial tissue, as well as from polyp tissue, and expanded for three passages in IntestiCult™-SF. Shown are cultures from two separate donors, imaged at the end of each passage immediately before passaging.

    Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF can be Further Differentiated using IntestiCult™ Organoid Differentiation Medium

    Figure 6. Organoids Grown in IntestiCult™-SF can be Further Differentiated using IntestiCult™ Organoid Differentiation Medium

    Further differentiation of organoids in IntestiCult™-SF can be achieved by passaging organoid cultures in IntestiCult™ Organoid Differentiation Medium as organoid-derived monolayers (2D Monolayer Diff) or in 3D organoid culture (3D Organoid Diff). Upon differentiation, markers for enterocytes (KRT20, ApoB), goblet cells (Muc2), and enteroendocrine cells (ChgA) are upregulated compared to organoids grown in IntestiCult™-SF.
