Cell Culture and Engineering Core (CCEC)

项目总结 马里兰州多囊肾病研究与翻译核心中心(MPKD-RTCC) 细胞培养和工程核心(CCEC)将通过以下方式加快PKD研究的进展 满足对定义明确、可靠的体外细胞PKD模型的主要未满足需求 控制。考虑到这一总体目标，CCEC开发了新的体外细胞和有机化合物 我们希望这些车型能成为该领域的“黄金标准”。CCEC致力于 帮助研究人员为他们所有的个人体外研究需求找到理想的解决方案 涉及机械探索、人类PKD细胞验证研究或治疗性筛选。至 最好地满足学术界多样化的PKD劳动力的当前和预期的未来需求， 政府和业界，CCEC将提供ADPKD的小鼠细胞模型，提供 表达定制PKD1和PKD2的工程内髓内集合管(IMCD3)细胞系 突变，提供了人类肾脏ADPKD细胞和标本，提供了前沿 利用三维有机系统进行的成囊实验，提供了高通量、三维化的 三维囊性扩张术，并提供咨询服务，以确保PKD 社区可以充分利用CCEC资源。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Maryland Polycystic Kidney Disease Research and Translation Core Center (MPKD-RTCC) Cell Culture and Engineering Core (CCEC) will accelerate progress in PKD research by addressing a major unmet need for well-defined, reliable in vitro cell PKD models with proper controls. With this overarching goal in mind, CCEC developed new in vitro cell and organoid models that we hope will become the “gold-standards” of the field. The CCEC is committed to helping investigators find ideal solutions for all their individual in vitro research needs whether it involves mechanistic exploration, human PKD cell validation studies, or therapeutic screening. To best serve the current and expected future demands of the diverse PKD workforce in academia, government, and industry, the CCEC will provide murine cell models of ADPKD, provide engineered inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD3) cell lines expressing custom PKD1 and PKD2 mutations, provide human kidney ADPKD cells and specimens, provide a cutting edge cystogenesis assay using three-dimensional organoid system, provide high through-put, three- dimensional cyst expansion assay, and provide consultation services to make sure the PKD community can fully utilize the CCEC resources.
