RFA: Organotypic Culture Models for Predictive Toxicology Center (2013) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Chemical Safety for Sustainability
Objective:
This center is advancing predictive toxicology by developing four organotypic culture models (OCMs): liver, mammary gland, limb/joint development, and fetal membrane. These 3D cultures of heterotypic cells will better approximate the in vivo cellular microenvironment and are amenable and affordable for medium to high-throughput screening. Screening of these OCMs against 30-50 chemicals from the ToxCast inventory will demonstrate whether OCM toxicity is predictable from ToxCast in vitro assays and whether OCM toxicity is predictive of previous animal studies and/or human epidemiology.
Progress Summary:
In year 3 the VPROMPT Center has:
a. Successfully integrated the mammary OCM with Project 5 perfusion pumps and control software, a commercial 7-port selector valve and has made great progress in describing chemical surface interactions with PDMS as part of our careful quality assurance strategy. Further, fluorescent proteolytic and lentiviral biosensors were incorporated into the 3D hydrogel mammosphere OCMs.
b. Increased morphological consistency in chondrogenic and hypertrophic limb development cultures via hydrogel overlays. Chondrogenic micromasses were demonstrated to be sensitive to thalidomide. Perhaps most notably, we successfully finalizing the design of a joint segmentation device in collaboration with Professor Wikswo's lab from Project 5. Further, we verified chondrogenesis and hypertrophy of adult human MSC micromass cultures under fluid flow.
c. Established an actively perfused fetal membrane OCM (IFMOC 3.0) and successfully conducted dose-response studies for selected toxicants. In this device, we are able to decidualize human endometrial stromal cells with associated cellular morphology changes, inhibit decidualization via TCDD exposure, and we demonstrate prolactin production in the IFMOC.
d. Successfully validated iPSC-derived human hepatocytes in the liver bioreactor; developed two additional (to the five already developed) real-time, fluorescence-based biosensors available to VPROMPT Center collaborators; and demonstrated successful integrated liver OCM culture integrated with the Vanderbilt platform developed under Project 5. In addition, we have defined media mixtures suitable for integration with the mammary gland and limb development OCMs.
e. Integrated organ module (IOM) control software is capable of full automation of Project 5 hardware and we are close to incorporating wireless capabilities into the modules. Production of microfluidic pump and valve inserts was streamlined to maximize manufacturability and have made advances in minimizing the cost and physical size of Project 5 hardware. In addition, metabolic baselines were established for the mammary gland and electrochemical sensor capabilities were extended to include glutamate and choline, while progress was also made for cholesterol and ammonium sensors. Finally, we started to establish computational fluid dynamics models for PDMS adsorption and transport of toxicants.
