- Abstract: BACKGROUND:The development of tissues and organs in the body is a precise and autonomously regulated process,and the function of biomechanical factors at this macroscale is a basic scientific question worth exploring. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the roles of cell mechanics in morphogenesis of the lobular organoid of 3D Madin-Darby canine kidney(MDCK). METHODS:The formation of MDCK lobular organoid was visualized by fluorescence resonance energy transfer technology,and the influence of different cellular mechanical signals and extracellular matrix environment on lobular organoid formation and corresponding changes in extracellular regulated protein kinases(ERK)activity were examined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Inhibition of ERK signaling pathway can inhibit the growth of MDCK lobular organoid.(2)Inhibition of cell contractile force signals such as ROCK pathway and Myosin Ⅱ activity,reduced ERK activity and lobular organoid size.(3)Selective inhibition of calcium channels in plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum led to reduced ERK activity and lobular organoid growth.(4)By inhibiting the mechanically-sensitive receptor Piezo ion channel or integrin signal on the cell membrane,the lobular organoid became smaller or MDCK cells could not generate tissue morphology.(5)Extracellular matrix compositions affected the morphogenesis of lobular organoid.The addition of type I collagen in Matrigel changed the lobular organoid to elongated shape.(6)The results of this study preliminarily show that mechanical signals in the cells and extracellular matrix environment play an important role in culturing MDCK lobular organoid,and provides certain molecular mechanisms.
