Abstrakt: We developed an innovative millifluidic organ-on-a-chip device, named MINERVA 2.0, that is optically accessible and suitable to serial connection. In the present work, we evaluated MINERVA 2.0 as millifluidic gut epithelium-on-a-chip by using computational modeling and biological assessment. We also tested MINERVA 2.0 in a serially connected configuration prodromal to address the complexity of multiorgan interaction. Once cultured under perfusion in our device, human gut immortalized Caco-2 epithelial cells were able to survive at least up to 7 days and form a three-dimensional layer with detectable tight junctions (occludin and zonulin-1 positive). Functional layer development was supported by measurable trans-epithelial resistance and FITC-dextran permeability regulation, together with mucin-2 expression. The dynamic culturing led to a specific transcriptomic profile, assessed by RNASeq, with a total of 524 dysregulated transcripts (191 upregulated and 333 downregulated) between static and dynamic condition. Overall, the collected results suggest that our gut-on-a-chip millifluidic model displays key gut epithelium features and, thanks to its modular design, may be the basis to build a customizable multiorgan-on-a-chip platform.
