摘要

Primary human pancreatic ductal organoids (HPDO) have emerged as a model to study pancreas biology and model disease like pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Yet, donor material availability, genetic variability and a lack of extensive benchmarking to healthy and disease pancreas limits the range of applications. To address this gap, we established porcine pancreatic ductal organoids (PPDO) as a system from a reliable, genetically defined and easily obtainable source to model pancreatic ductal/progenitor biology. We benchmarked PPDO to HPDO and primary porcine pancreas using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq). We observed no overt phenotypic differences in PPDO derived from distinct developmental stages using extensive proteomics profiling, with a WNT/basal cell signaling enriched population characterizing PPDO. PPDO exhibited differentiation potential towards mature ductal cells and limited potential towards endocrine lineages. We used PPDO as a chemical screening platform to assess the safety of FDA-approved drugs and showed conserved toxicity of statins and α-adrenergic receptor inhibitors between PPDO and HPDO cultures. Overall, our results highlight the PPDO as a model for mammalian duct/progenitor applications.
