Description

Liver organoid chip-based screening method for relieving nonalcoholic fatty liver active ingredient and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of tissue engineering and biomedicine, in particular to a screening method for relieving nonalcoholic fatty liver active ingredients based on a liver organoid chip and application thereof.
Background
The liver is an important and complex organ involved in protein and fat metabolism, bile production, detoxification, immunomodulation, etc. Nonalcoholic fatty liver is a common liver metabolic syndrome and is closely related to dangerous factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and the like. The disease is characterized by steatosis, developing hepatitis, cirrhosis and even cancer. The course of the disease is often accompanied by a variety of pathological events including inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis, metabolic disorders, and portal hypertension. Liver in vitro models are extremely important for disease research (e.g., profiling of disease occurrence and therapeutic mechanisms) and drug efficacy evaluation. Ginsenoside as main ingredient of Ginseng radix has various biological activities such as reducing blood lipid, lowering blood sugar, and resisting cancer. Due to the diversity of structures (> 150), ginsenosides of different structures showed significant differences in activity. The active ingredients of the ginsenoside are rapidly detected and screened, and the influence of the ginsenoside on the body health is clarified. Currently, in vitro ginsenoside activity evaluation is mainly focused on animal experiments and 2D monolayer cell experiments. Animal models are not sufficiently representative of human biological characteristics due to species differences. Most 2D monolayer cell experiments adopt a static culture mode, lack dynamic reproduction of in-vivo environment, are difficult to simulate key characteristics of organ functions, and have poor pharmaceutical activity prediction capability.
The organoid chip technology is an emerging technology proposed in recent years, namely, stem cells, organoids and organ chips are integrated, so that a brand new platform is provided for simulating human body medication in vitro by virtue of microminiaturization, high fidelity and the like. The method combines the principles of stem cell development and engineering, utilizes the characteristic of self-assembly of adult or multipotent stem cells on a chip, and generates organoids with near physiological functions under the action of biological fluid. The stem cells can fully utilize the microstructure of the organ chip to assemble in situ and induce differentiation to form the 3D liver organoid, and the microfluidic technology can endow a more bionic organ development environment, including fluid shear force, information interaction, medicine gradient and the like. At present, although 3D organoids such as liver, brain, intestine, lung and the like are established in the international range, importance and development potential of the engineering technology in the biomedical and precise medical fields are emphasized. The stem cells, the organoid chip and the microfluid are combined, so that the physiological and pathological characteristics of organs can be remodeled in vitro to the greatest extent, the drug response of organisms is reflected, the defects of animal models and monolayer cell culture in the aspects of ginsenoside activity screening and evaluation are overcome, and the limitations of the existing single technology in-vitro organ remodelling and drug evaluation are solved. The integrated technology is blank in high-throughput screening of ginsenoside bioactivity, and is expected to provide a brand-new technical means for analyzing a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease mechanism and screening ginsenoside components for relieving the disease.

2. 3D non-alcoholic fatty liver organogenesis
Human pluripotent stem cells are induced to 10 days, digested into single cells or small cell clusters, resuspended by a culture medium, introduced from the cells of the chip and the culture medium inlet 1, self-assembled to form cell spheres, and continuously replaced and cultured according to steps.
The culture medium was introduced in order at a medium flow rate of 40. Mu.L/h.
Specifically, the 3D non-alcoholic fatty liver organogenesis procedure is:
(1) Differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into liver-specific endoderm: the culture medium is prepared by adding GlutaMAX, KSR, B and ActivinA with a certain concentration into RPMI-1640 culture medium for 5 days, and then changing into the culture medium containing GlutaMAX, KSR, B, BMP4 and bFGF in RPMI-1640 for 3 days. Wherein RPMI 1640 medium was purchased from Instratagem (Invitrogen) under the designation C11875500BT.
The concentrations of Glutamax, KSR and B27 are all 1%, the concentration of ActivinA is 100 ng/mL, the concentration of BMP4 is 20 ng/mL, and the concentration of bFGF is 10 ng/mL.
(2) Differentiation into hepatic progenitors: the cells were treated with RPMI-1640 medium containing GlutaMAX, KSR, B and HGF for 5 days.

(4) Long-term culture of liver organoids: treatment with Dex-containing medium in HCM medium was carried out for 2 days.
The Dex concentration is 10 -7 M, treatment time was 2 days.
(5) Free fatty acid exposure: treatment with Dex and free fatty acids in HCM medium was carried out for 5 days. The non-alcoholic fatty liver organoids had a large accumulation of lipid droplets relative to normal tissue as shown in fig. 2 a and fig. 2B.
The free fatty acid concentration was 600. Mu.M, and the Dex concentration was 10 -7 M。
3. Ginsenoside biological activity screening
The method comprises the following specific steps: preparing a ginsenoside working solution with a certain concentration to intervene in 3D non-alcoholic fatty liver organoids, namely dissolving ginsenoside in a HCM culture medium containing Dex.
The ginsenoside is Rb 1 Since the nonalcoholic fatty liver is characterized by steatosis and accompanied with a certain degree of inflammation and fibrosis, the therapeutic effect of ginsenoside on the disease is evaluated, namely, the lipid-lowering activity, anti-inflammatory activity and anti-fibrosis activity of ginsenoside are evaluated, the concentration of ginsenoside is 0.05 mu M, 1 mu M, 10 mu M, 50 mu M and 100 mu M, the action time of ginsenoside is 5 days, and the Dex concentration is 10 -7 M. As shown in fig. 2 a, the accumulation of lipid droplets in normal liver (FFAs without free fatty acid and drug group, denoted as Ctrl group) is shown, and in fig. 2B, the accumulation of lipid droplets in non-alcoholic fatty liver group (denoted as FFAs group) is shown, and significantly more lipid droplet accumulation indicates successful construction of the non-alcoholic fatty liver model. Similarly, it can be seen from fig. 3 that the FFAs group has higher Triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) levels relative to the Ctrl group. As can be seen from FIG. 3, in the absence ofGinsenoside Rb with same concentration gradient 1 Low concentration (0.05. Mu.M) of ginsenoside Rb under the intervention of (C) 1 No obvious difference is caused to the accumulation of non-alcoholic fatty liver fat drops, and the TG and TC levels are obviously reduced at higher concentration (1-100 mu M), which indicates that the concentration range has good lipid-lowering effect. As can be seen from FIG. 4A, inflammatory factor IL8 was elevated relative to mRNA expression (Relative mRNA expression) in the FFAs group, but showed reduced IL8 expression at both 1. Mu.M and 100. Mu.M systems, suggesting Rb 1 Has good therapeutic effect on inflammation. Similarly, FIG. 4B shows that the fibrosis factor a-SMA in the FFAs group is elevated relative to mRNA expression, but shows reduced a-SMA expression in both 1. Mu.M and 100. Mu.M systems, suggesting Rb 1 Has good therapeutic effect on fibrosis. The platform is suitable for evaluating the bioactivity of the high-throughput ginsenoside, and effectively screening candidate medicines for relieving the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Example 2:3D non-alcoholic fatty liver organoid construction and obeticholic acid activity evaluation and verification.
1. The specific procedure for the construction of the high throughput organoid chip was the same as in example 1.
2. The specific procedure for the formation of the 3D non-alcoholic fatty liver organoid was the same as in example 1.
3. Unlike example 1, the clinically usual drug obeticholic acid (Ob) was selected for evaluation at an action concentration of 5 μm. As shown in fig. 5, the levels of TG and TC, as well as the expression of inflammatory IL8 and fibrotic a-SMA in non-alcoholic fatty liver after Ob intervention can be significantly down-regulated, suggesting that the model is suitable for activity assessment and validation of shaped drugs.
4. The remaining unexplained steps are the same as those of example 1.
