摘要

3D类器官在模拟生理组织结构和功能方面的能力为体外模型化发育和疾病提供了宝贵的工具。然而，传统的类器官培养主要代表自我组织干细胞及其衍生物的稳态。在此，我们建立了一种新型肠道类器官培养系统，由8种成分组成，主要包括VPA、EPZ6438、LDN193189和R-Spondin 1条件培养基，该系统模拟了肠上皮在受损后产生超增生隐窝的再生过程；因此，这些类器官被命名为超增生肠道类器官（Hyper-organoids）。单细胞RNA测序鉴定出我们Hyper-organoids中不同的再生干细胞群体，这些群体与体内损伤反应性Lgr5+干细胞或Clu+复兴干细胞共享分子特征。进一步分析显示，VPA和EPZ6438对Hyper-organoids中的表观基因组重编程和再生至关重要，其功能是通过表观遗传调控YAP信号通路。此外，VPA和EPZ6438在体内损伤后协同促进肠道的再生反应。总之，我们的结果展示了一种新的体外类器官模型，用于研究上皮再生，突显了开创性组织修复中表观遗传重编程的重要性。

英文摘要

The capacity of 3D organoids to mimic physiological tissue organization and functionality has provided an invaluable tool to model development and disease in vitro. However, conventional organoid cultures primarily represent the homeostasis of self-organizing stem cells and their derivatives. Here, we established a novel intestinal organoid culture system composed of 8 components, mainly including VPA, EPZ6438, LDN193189, and R-Spondin 1 conditioned medium, which mimics the gut epithelium regeneration that produces hyperplastic crypts following injury; therefore, these organoids were designated hyperplastic intestinal organoids (Hyper-organoids). Single-cell RNA sequencing identified different regenerative stem cell populations in our Hyper-organoids that shared molecular features with in vivo injury-responsive Lgr5+ stem cells or Clu+ revival stem cells. Further analysis revealed that VPA and EPZ6438 were indispensable for epigenome reprogramming and regeneration in Hyper-organoids, which functioned through epigenetically regulating YAP signaling. Furthermore, VPA and EPZ6438 synergistically promoted regenerative response in gut upon damage in vivo. In summary, our results demonstrated a new in vitro organoid model to study epithelial regeneration, highlighting the importance of epigenetic reprogramming that pioneers tissue repair.

核心洞察

研究背景和目的

本研究旨在建立一种新的肠道类器官培养系统，以模拟损伤相关的上皮再生过程。尽管现有的肠道类器官主要反映了自我组织干细胞及其衍生物的稳态，但在肠道损伤后，常规类器官无法有效模拟损伤后的再生反应。因此，研究者们希望通过优化培养条件，生成具有再生特征的超增生肠道类器官（Hyper-organoids），以便更好地理解和研究肠道上皮的再生机制。

主要方法/材料/实验设计

本研究建立的超增生肠道类器官培养系统包含八种成分（8C），包括VPA（丙戊酸）、EPZ6438、LDN193189、R-Spondin 1条件培养基等。具体实验设计如下：

1. 研究设计：采用体外培养的方式，建立具有损伤响应特征的肠道类器官。
2. 入排招募标准：使用小鼠的肠道组织提取干细胞。
3. 分组与随机化方式：比较传统的ENR条件下培养的类器官与8C条件下培养的超增生类器官。
4. 干预措施：8C条件下培养的类器官中添加VPA和EPZ6438以促进再生特征。
5. 主要与次要结局指标：主要评估类器官的生长速率、形态结构、基因表达谱等。
6. 统计分析方法：采用qPCR、RNA测序、流式细胞术等方法分析实验数据。

关键结果和发现

1. 超增生类器官的建立：在8C条件下，超增生类器官表现出复杂的隐窝-绒毛结构，并富含与损伤相关的再生标志物，如CLU、SCA1等。
2. 基因表达分析：单细胞RNA测序显示超增生类器官中的干细胞群体与体内损伤响应的Lgr5+干细胞相似，且富集了多个再生相关基因。
3. VPA和EPZ6438的作用：这两种小分子在超增生类器官的形成和再生过程中发挥了关键作用，通过调控YAP信号通路促进再生。

主要结论/意义/创新性

本研究首次建立了一种具有损伤响应特征的超增生肠道类器官模型，能够更真实地反映肠道上皮在损伤后的再生过程。通过对再生机制的深入研究，提供了新的思路用于肠道疾病的治疗和再生医学的研究。此外，VPA和EPZ6438作为重要的调控因子，为开发新的再生治疗策略提供了潜在的靶点。

研究局限性和未来方向

本研究的局限性在于仅在小鼠模型中进行，未来可以考虑在其他动物模型或人类组织中验证这些发现。此外，虽然本研究揭示了VPA和EPZ6438在再生中的重要性，但其具体的分子机制仍需进一步研究。未来的研究可以探索更多的信号通路和小分子，以期更全面地理解肠道再生的生物学机制。
