Abstract (English)
The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease among the elderly has significantly risen in recent years, posing a growing socioeconomic burden to aging societies.
Moreover, non-gastrointestinal diseases, also prevalent in this demographic, have been linked to intestinal barrier dysfunction, thus highlighting the importance of investigating aged-mediated changes within the human gut.
While gastrointestinal pathology often involves an impaired gut barrier, the impact of aging on the human gastrointestinal barrier function remains unclear.
To explore the effect of senescence, a key hallmark of aging, on gut barrier integrity, we established and evaluated an in vitro gut-on-a-chip model tailored to investigate barrier changes by the integration of an impedance sensor.
Here, a microfluidic gut-on-a-chip system containing integrated membrane-based electrode microarrays is used to non-invasively monitor epithelial barrier formation and senescence-mediated changes in barrier integrity upon treating Caco-2 cells with 0.8 μg mL^−1 doxorubicin (DXR), a chemotherapeutic which induces cell cycle arrest.
Results of our microfluidic human gut model reveal a DXR-mediated increase in impedance and cell hypertrophy as well as overexpression of p21, and CCL2, indicative of a senescent phenotype.
Combined with the integrated electrodes, monitoring ∼57% of the cultivation area in situ and non-invasively, the developed chip-based senescent-gut model is ideally suited to study age-related malfunctions in barrier integrity.
