Human intestinal crypt-derived enteroids are a model of intestinal ion transport that require validation by comparison with cell culture and animal models. We used human small intestinal enteroids to study neutral Na+ absorption and stimulated fluid and anion secretion under basal and regulated conditions in undifferentiated and differentiated cultures to demonstrate their functional relevance to ion transport physiology and pathophysiology. Human intestinal tissue specimens were obtained from endoscopic biopsy or surgical resections performed at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Crypts were isolated, enteroids were propagated in culture, induced to undergo differentiation, and transduced with lentiviral vectors. Crypt markers, surface cell enzymes, and membrane ion transporters were characterized using qRT-PCR, immunoblot, or immunofluorescence analyses. We used multiphoton and time-lapse confocal microscopy to monitor intracellular pH and luminal dilatation in enteroids under basal and regulated conditions. Enteroids differentiated upon withdrawl of WNT3A, yielding decreased crypt markers and increased villus-like characteristics. NHE3 activity was similar in undifferentiated and differentiated enteroids, and was affected by known inhibitors, second messengers, and bacterial enterotoxins. Forskolin-induced swelling (FIS) was completely dependent on CFTR and partially dependent upon NHE3 and NKCC1 inhibition in undifferentiated and differentiated enteroids. Increases in cAMP with forskolin caused enteroid intracellular acidification in HCO3−- free buffer. cAMP-induced enteroid pHi acidification as part of duodenal HCO3− secretion appears to require CFTR and NBCE1. Undifferentiated or crypt-like, and differentiated or villus-like, human enteroids represent distinct points along the crypt–villus axis; they can be used to characterize electrolyte transport processes along the vertical axis of the small intestine. The duodenal enteroid model revealed that NBCE1 might be a target in the intestinal mucosa for treatment of secretory diarrheas.
