Got Guts: Plasticity of Human Barrett’s Organoids
Manage episode 349449537 series 3332773
In our latest podcast senior author Dr. Rhonda Souza discusses her latest published research “A Human Barrett's Esophagus Organoid System Reveals Epithelial-Mesenchymal Plasticity Induced by Acid and Bile Salts” with Editor-in-Chief Prof. Mark Frey. Using Barrett's esophagus (BE) biopsies, the authors established organoids recapitulating key BE features. During early stages of organoid development, a GERD-like wound environment induced features of epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) in Barrett's progenitor cells, suggesting that reflux-induced EMP can enable Barrett's cells to migrate underneath squamous epithelium to form subsquamous intestinal metaplasia, a condition that may underlie Barrett's cancers that escape detection by endoscopic surveillance, and recurrences of Barrett's metaplasia following endoscopic eradication therapy.
