- W4200380561 abstract "Abstract Functional kidney organoids have the potential to be used in implantable kidney grafts for patients with end-stage kidney disease, because they have been shown to self-organize from induced pluripotent stem cells into most important renal structures. To date, however, long-term kidney organoid culture has not succeeded, as nephrons lose their phenotype after approximately 25 days. Furthermore, the renal structures remain immature with diminishing endothelial networks with low connectivity and limited organoid invasion. We hypothesized that introducing long-term culture at physiological hypoxia, rather than the normally applied non-physiological, hyperoxic 21% O 2 , could initiate angiogenesis, lead to enhanced growth factor expression and improve the endothelial patterning. We therefore cultured the kidney organoids at 7% O 2 instead of 21% O 2 for up to 25 days and evaluated nephrogenesis, VEGF-A expression and vascularization. Whole mount imaging revealed a homogenous morphology of the endothelial network with enhanced sprouting and interconnectivity when the kidney organoids were cultured in hypoxia. Three-dimensional quantification confirmed that the hypoxic culture led to an increased average vessel length, likely due to the observed upregulation of proangiogenic VEGF-A189 mRNA and downregulation of the antiangiogenic protein VEGF-A165b measured in hypoxia. This research indicates the importance of optimization of oxygen availability in organoid systems and the potential of hypoxic culture conditions in improving the vascularization of organoids. Significance statement Culturing kidney organoids in a hypoxic environment improved patterning of the endothelial network and improved vascularization. These findings may help improve the quality of kidney organoids, and could eventually improve the kidney graft for transplantation in patients with end-stage kidney disease. Furthermore, the organoids will be more suitable for drug testing and in developmental biology. The findings might also be translatable to other organoid models containing endothelial cells.
