摘要: An in vitro microfluidic intestine on-chip is described herein that mimics the structure and at least one function of specific areas of the gastrointestinal system in vivo. In particular, a multicellular, layered, microfluidic intestinal cell culture, which is some embodiments is derived from patient's enteroids-derived cells, is described comprising L cells, allowing for interactions between L cells and gastrointestinal epithelial cells, endothelial cells and immune cells. This in vitro microfluidic system can be used for modeling inflammatory gastrointestinal autoimmune tissue, e.g., diabetes, obesity, intestinal insufficiency and other inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders. These multicellular-layered microfluidic intestine on-chips further allow for comparisons between types of gastrointestinal tissues, e.g., small intestinal duodenum, small intestinal jejunum, small intestinal ileum, large intestinal colon, etc., and between disease states of gastrointestinal tissue, i.e. healthy, pre-disease and diseased areas. Additionally, these microfluidic gut-on-chips allow identification of cells and cellular derived factors driving disease states and drug testing for reducing inflammation.

摘要: The present invention relates to a combination of microbes, cell culture systems and microfluidic fluidic systems for use in providing a human Intestine On-Chip with optimal intestinal motility. More specifically, in some embodiments, a microfluidic chip containing intestinal epithelial cells co-cultured with intestinal endothelial cells in the presence of bacteria, such as probiotic bacteria, may find use in providing an Intestine-On-Chip for testing intestinal motility function. In some embodiments, an Intestine On-Chip may be used for identifying (testing) therapeutic compounds continuing probiotic microbes or compounds for inducing intestinal motility for use in treating gastrointestinal disorders or diseases related to intestinal function.

摘要: The present invention relates to a combination of cell culture systems and microfluidic fluidic systems for use in providing a human innervated Intestine On-Chip. More specifically, in some embodiments, a microfluidic chip containing intestinal epithelial cells co-cultured with intestinal endothelial cells or intestinal muscle cells, or both, in the presence of induced neural crest cells may find use in providing an innervated Intestine-On-Chip. In some embodiments, an innervated Intestine On-Chip may be used for identifying (testing) therapeutic compounds for use in treating gastrointestinal disorders or diseases.

摘要: The present invention relates to fluidic systems for use in providing biomarkers for human Intestine On-Chip. More specifically, in some embodiments, a microfluidic chip containing intestinal epithelial cells co-cultured with intestinal endothelial cells in the presence of stretch and flow are used for identifying differentially expressed genes as biomarkers, e.g. for specific types of drug testing for use in treating gastrointestinal disorders or diseases related to intestinal function.
