Protocol for the establishment and characterization of an endometrial-derived epithelial organoid and stromal cell co-culture system

Summary: Postnatal development of the uterus involves the specification of undifferentiated epithelium into uterine-type epithelium. That specification is regulated by stromal-epithelial interactions as well as intrinsic cell-specific transcription factors and gene regulatory networks. Here, we pres...

description Summary: Postnatal development of the uterus involves the specification of undifferentiated epithelium into uterine-type epithelium. That specification is regulated by stromal-epithelial interactions as well as intrinsic cell-specific transcription factors and gene regulatory networks. Here, we present a co-culture system to study the effects of stromal-derived factors on epithelial cell growth and differentiation into organoids. First, we describe epithelial cell isolation and organoid growth characterization. Second, we detail a co-culture system that allows the study of stromal-derived paracrine factors on epithelial development.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Rizo et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
