Multi-Organ toxicity demonstration in a functional human in vitro system composed of four organs. Scientific reports, 6, 20030. In this study, a functional human model is used to evaluate multi-organ toxicity in a 4-organ system under continuous flow conditions in a serum-free defined medium. The cell types and corresponding media used in this study are described seperately in the FCS-free Database. The other cell types are:
Human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2/C3A (ATCC® CRL-10741™ ) were routinely grown, up to fifteen passages, in HepG2/C3A medium (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (from Life technologies) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1 mM Sodium Pyruvate (all from Life Technologies) and 5 mM Hepes (Sigma)). Four days (approximately) before transferring to the in vitro system, 6 × 104 cells (0.34 cells/mm2) were plated in collagen type-I coated 15 mm diameter round glass coverslips. Medium was replaced with HepG2/C3A medium the following day and every 2 days afterwards until co-culture. The defined serum-free medium base composition used to maintain the functionality of the 4 organ culture system for up to 14 days was previously published62 and was modified by the addition of an antibiotic/antimycotic cocktail at 1X (Life Technologies, 15240-062) and the elimination of the G5 supplement. The base medium was composed of 1X Neurobasal (Life Technologies, 21103-049), 1X B27 (Life Technologies, 17504-044), 1X Antibiotic and antimycotic (Life Technologies, 15240-062) and 1X Glutamax (Life Technologies, 35050-061). It was supplemented with 10 ng/mL Glial-derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) (Cell Sciences, CRG400B), 20 ng/mL Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) (Cell Sciences, CRB600B), 5 ng/mL Ciliary-derived Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) (Cell Sciences, CRC400A), 20 ng/mL Neurotrophin-3 and 4 (NT3 and NT4) (Cell Sciences, CRN500B and CRN501B), 100 ng/mL Vitronectin (Sigma, V8379-50UG), 10 ng/mL Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF-1) (PeproTech, 100-11), 100 ng/mL Agrin (R&D, 550-AG-100), 1 μ M Adenosine 3′ , 5′ -cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) (Sigma, A9501), 4 μ g/mL laminin (Life Technologies 23017-015), 50 ng/mL Sonic Hedgehog, N-terminal peptide (Shh) (R&D, 1845-SH-025) and 0.1 μ M Retinoic acid (Sigma, R2625). All the compounds purchased as a powder were dissolved in water, except for retinoic acid which was dissolved in DMEM 1X. https://www.nature.com/articles/srep20030 |
