Abstract
Isolation and tridimensional culture of murine fetal progenitors from the digestive tract represents a new approach to study the nature and the biological characteristics of these epithelial cells that are present before the onset of the cytodifferentiation process during development. In 2013, Mustata et al. described the isolation of intestinal fetal progenitors growing as spheroids in the ex vivo culture system initially implemented by Sato et al. (2009) to grow adult intestinal stem cells. Noteworthy, fetal-derived spheroids have high self-renewal capacity making easy their indefinite maintenance in culture. Here, we report an adapted protocol for isolation and ex vivo culture and maintenance of fetal epithelial progenitors from distal pre-glandular stomach growing as gastric spheroids (Fernandez Vallone et al., 2016).
Keywords: ex vivo (离体)Background
Mouse adult stem cells from the glandular stomach can be grown ex vivo in a 3D matrigel as ‘mini-glands’ for indefinite periods of time (Barker et al., 2010). As compared to stem cells from the small intestine growing in presence of EGF, Noggin and R-spondin 1, adult gastric stem cells need to be further supplemented with Fgf10, Gastrin, Wnt3a and a higher concentration of R-spondin 1 to get productive long-term cultures. In contrast, little was known till recently about the fetal cells that line the pre-glandular epithelium during development. So far, their nature as well as their potential growth properties ex vivo were uncharacterized. Based on the previous study identifying the cells present in the fetal small intestine (Mustata et al., 2013), we report on the culture of mouse fetal gastric progenitors as spheroids (Fernandez Vallone et al., 2016). Gastric progenitors can be replated in the culture medium previously reported by Sato et al., 2009 to grow small intestinal adult stem cells and, contrary to adult-type gastric stem cells, they do not need extra growth factors supplementation (Fgf10, Wnt3a or Gastrin).
