Development of a Human Intestinal Organoid Model for In Vitro Studies on Gut Inflammation and Fibrosis

Figure 6

HIOs exhibit mesenchymal and epithelial chemokine protein responses to inflammatory cytokines. IL-1α and TNF-α (2C) 24 h and 48 h stimulation induced the protein expression of CXCL1 (b), CXCL8 (c), CCL2 (d), and CCL20 (e) in passages 2 and 4, while CXCL10 was induced only in passage 2 (a). CCL20 was also induced in passage 6, after 48 h stimulation. Concentrations of cytokines used: IL-1α 5 ng/ml, TNF-α 50 ng/ml. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Data are presented as the .
