Establishment of Epithelial Inflammatory Injury Model Using Intestinal Organoid Cultures

Figure 1

The growth trajectory and epithelial cell type identification of intestinal organoids. (a, A–F) Primary culture of intestinal organoids, images taken at day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5, and day 6, respectively. Scale μm. (a, G–H) Passage culture of intestinal organoids, images taken at day 1 and day 4. Scale μm. (b) The cell type diversity of intestinal organoids identified by immunofluorescence staining. Confocal image for Lgr5 (green, intestinal stem cell), lysozyme (Lyso, green, Paneth cell), chromogranin A (CHA, green, intestinal endocrine cell), and Muc2 (red, goblet cell). DAPI (blue) for nucleus. The arrows pointed to the positive cells. Scale μm (first column). Scale μm (second, third, and fourth columns).
