Abstract

This protocol describes the culture of rectal organoids derived from cystic fibrosis patients and the functional assessment of CFTR modulator drug responses using forskolin-induced swelling (FIS) measurements. The assay quantifies individual drug efficacy in vitro and correlates with clinical outcomes (ppFEV1 and sweat chloride concentration), enabling personalized treatment selection for CF patients.

Protocol overview

19 steps across 4 phases

Phase 1 · Rectal Organoid Culture and Maintenance Day 1 to Day 180 (6 months storage)
  1. a Obtain rectal tissue biopsy
  2. b Establish organoid culture from rectal tissue
  3. c Maintain organoid cultures in growth medium
Phase 2 · Preparation for Forskolin-Induced Swelling Assay Day of assay (pre-experiment setup)
  1. a Prepare test drugs and control
  2. b Prepare forskolin working solutions
  3. c Prepare organoid wells for imaging
  4. d Prepare fluorescent labeling solution
Phase 3 · Forskolin-Induced Swelling Assay Execution Single assay day
  1. a Label organoids with Calcein, AM
  2. b Establish baseline organoid area (t=0 min)
  3. c Add DMSO control or drug + forskolin
  4. d Acquire real-time confocal images for 60 minutes
  5. e Measure organoid area at end-point (t=60 min)
  6. f Quantify organoid swelling response
Phase 4 · Data Analysis and Clinical Correlation Post-assay analysis (variable timeline)
  1. a Calculate drug response for each sample
  2. b Collect in vivo clinical endpoint data
  3. c Perform Pearson correlation analysis
  4. d Generate receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves
  5. e Calculate predictive values
  6. f Perform leave-one-out cross-validation
