ABSTRACT
Generation of intestinal organoids from human somatic cells by reprogramming would enable intestinal regeneration, disease modeling, and drug screening in a personalized pattern. Here, we report a direct reprogramming protocol for the generation of human urine cells induced intestinal organoids (U-iIOs) under a defined medium. U-iIOs expressed multiple intestinal specific genes and showed resembling gene expression profiles to primary small intestines. U-iIOs can be stably long-term expanded and further differentiated into more mature intestinal lineage cells with high expression of metallothionein and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genes. These specific molecular features of U-iIOs differ from human pluripotent stem cells derived intestinal organoids (P-iIOs) and intestinal immortalized cell lines. Furthermore, U-iIOs exhibit intestinal barriers indicated by blocking FITC-dextran permeation and uptaking of the specific substrate rhodamine 123. Our study provides a novel platform for patient-specific intestinal organoid generation, which may lead to precision treatment of intestinal diseases and facilitate drug discovery.
