RESUMEN

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of human lung alveolar development are poorly understood due to a lack of in vitro model systems. This protocol details the isolation, derivation, and genetic modification of lung tip epithelial progenitors from human fetal lungs. It includes steps for isolating distal lung epithelial cells, expanding tip progenitor organoids, culturing tip organoids in vitro, and differentiating them into alveolar type 2 cells. This will aid in understanding alveolar differentiation mechanisms and neonatal diseases. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lim et al.1.

RESUMEN

The objective of standard guideline for utilization of human lung organoids is to provide the basic guidelines required for the manufacture, culture, and quality control of the lung organoids for use in non-clinical efficacy and inhalation toxicity assessments of the respiratory system. As a first step towards the utilization of human lung organoids, the current guideline provides basic, minimal standards that can promote development of alternative testing methods, and can be referenced not only for research, clinical, or commercial uses, but also by experts and researchers at regulatory institutions when assessing safety and efficacy.

RESUMEN

Studies of human lung development have focused on epithelial and mesenchymal cell types and function, but much less is known about the developing lung immune cells, even though the airways are a major site of mucosal immunity after birth. An unanswered question is whether tissue-resident immune cells play a role in shaping the tissue as it develops in utero. Here, we profiled human embryonic and fetal lung immune cells using scRNA-seq, smFISH, and immunohistochemistry. At the embryonic stage, we observed an early wave of innate immune cells, including innate lymphoid cells, natural killer cells, myeloid cells, and lineage progenitors. By the canalicular stage, we detected naive T lymphocytes expressing high levels of cytotoxicity genes and the presence of mature B lymphocytes, including B-1 cells. Our analysis suggests that fetal lungs provide a niche for full B cell maturation. Given the presence and diversity of immune cells during development, we also investigated their possible effect on epithelial maturation. We found that IL-1ß drives epithelial progenitor exit from self-renewal and differentiation to basal cells in vitro. In vivo, IL-1ß-producing myeloid cells were found throughout the lung and adjacent to epithelial tips, suggesting that immune cells may direct human lung epithelial development.
