PG - 14425 LID - 10.1038/s41598-022-18556-3 [doi] LID - 14425 AB - Inflammation is an important process for epithelial barrier protection but when uncontrolled, it can also lead to tissue damage. The nuclear factor-kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) signaling pathway is particularly relevant in the intestine, as it seems to play a dual role. Whereas NF-kappaB protects intestinal epithelium against various noxious stimuli, the same pathway mediates intestinal inflammatory diseases by inducing pro-inflammatory gene expression. The availability of appropriate in vitro models of the intestinal epithelium is crucial for further understanding the contribution of NF-kappaB in physiological and pathological processes and advancing in the development of drugs and therapies against gut diseases. Here we established, characterized, and validated three-dimensional cultures of intestinal organoids obtained from biopsies of NF-kappaB-RE-Luc mice. The NF-kappaB-RE-Luc intestinal organoids derived from different intestine regions recreated the cellular composition of the tissue and showed a reporter responsiveness similar to the in vivo murine model. When stimulated with TNF-alpha, jejunum-derived NF-kappaB-RE-Luc-reporter organoids, provided a useful model to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of natural and synthetic compounds. These reporter organoids are valuable tools to explore the epithelial TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB contribution in the small intestine, being a reliable alternative method while helping to reduce the use of laboratory animals for experimentation.
