BACKGROUND: Short bowel syndrome is a life-threatening condition with few solutions. Tissue-engineered intestine (TEI) is a potential treatment, but donor intestine is a limiting factor. Expanded epithelial surrogates termed enteroids may serve as a potential donor source.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: To produce TEI from enteroids, crypts were harvested from mice and enteroid cultures established. Enteroids were seeded onto polymer scaffolds using Matrigel or culture medium and implanted in immunosuppressed mice for 4 wk. Histology was analyzed using Periodic acid-Schiff staining and immunofluorescence. Neomucosa was quantified using ImageJ software. To determine whether TEI could be produced from enteroids established from small intestinal biopsies, 2 × 2-mm pieces of jejunum were processed for enteroid culture, enteroids were expanded and seeded onto scaffolds, and scaffolds implanted for 4 wk.
RESULTS: Enteroids in Matrigel produced TEI in 15 of 15 scaffolds, whereas enteroids in medium produced TEI in 9 of 15 scaffolds. Use of Matrigel led to more neomucosal surface area compared to media (10,520 ± 2905 μm versus 450 ± 127 μm, P < 0.05). Histologic examination confirmed the presence of crypts and blunted villi, normal intestinal epithelial lineages, intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells. Crypts obtained from biopsies produced an average of 192 ± 71 enteroids. A single passage produced 685 ± 58 enteroids, which was adequate for scaffold seeding. TEI was produced in 8 of 9 scaffolds seeded with expanded enteroids.
CONCLUSIONS: Enteroids can be obtained from minimal starting material, expanded ex vivo, and implanted to produce TEI. This method shows promise as a solution to the limited donor intestine available for TEI production in patients with short bowel syndrome.
