1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundHuman induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived enterocyte-like cells (ELCs) are expected to be useful for evaluating the intestinal absorption and metabolism of orally administered drugs. However, it is difficult to generate large amounts of ELCs with high quality because they cannot proliferate and be passaged.

methodsTo solve the issue above, we have established intestinal organoids from ELCs generated using our protocol. Furthermore, monolayers were produced from the organoids. We evaluated the usefulness of the monolayers by comparing their functions with those of the original ELCs and the organoids.

resultsWe established organoids from ELCs (ELC-org) that could be passaged and maintained for more than a year. When ELC-org were dissociated into single cells and seeded on cell culture inserts (ELC-org-mono), they formed a tight monolayer in 3 days. Both ELC-org and ELC-org-mono were composed exclusively of epithelial cells. Gene expressions of many drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters in ELC-org-mono were enhanced, as compared with those in ELC-org, to a level comparable to those in adult human small intestine. The CYP3A4 activity level in ELC-org-mono was comparable or higher than that in primary cryopreserved human small intestinal cells. ELC-org-mono had the efflux activities of P-gp and BCRP. Importantly, ELC-org-mono maintained high intestinal functions without any negative effects even after long-term culture (for more than a year) or cryopreservation. RNA-seq analysis showed that ELC-org-mono were more mature as intestinal epithelial cells than ELCs or ELC-org.

conclusionsWe have successfully improved the function and convenience of ELCs by utilizing organoid technology.
