IMR90-4 and DF19-9-11T iPSCs and H9 hESCs were maintained between passages 26–42 on Matrigel (BD Biosciences) in mTeSR1 medium (STEMCELL Technologies) or on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in standard unconditioned medium (UM) as previously described18 (link). For differentiation, cells were passaged onto Matrigel in mTeSR1 medium for 2–3 days of expansion and then switched to unconditioned medium (UM) lacking bFGF for 6 days. Human endothelial serum-free medium (hESFM; Life Technologies) supplemented with 20 ng/mL bFGF (R&D Systems) and 1% platelet-poor plasma derived bovine serum (Biomedical Technologies, Inc.) was then added for an additional 2–4 days. All-trans RA (Sigma) was reconstituted in DMSO and included at concentrations of 1–10 μM depending on the experiment. Cells were then dissociated with Versene (Life Technologies) and plated onto 12-well tissue culture polystyrene plates or 1.12 cm2 Transwell-Clear® permeable inserts (0.4 μm pore size) coated with a mixture of collagen IV (400 μg/mL; Sigma) and fibronectin (100 μg/mL; Sigma) in H2O. Culture plates were incubated with the coating for at least 30 min at 37°C, while the inserts were incubated for a minimum of 4 h at 37°C. Resultant, purified hPSC-derived BMECs were then grown in EC medium for 24 h (with or without RA); in some experiments, primary pericytes or fibroblasts were co-cultured with BMECs during these 24 h (see description below). After this 24 h period, BMECs were continued as monoculture or co-cultured as described below. In our previous publication, we had utilized dispase for subculturing the BMECs18 (link), but non-enzymatic treatment of the BMECs with Versene results in less debris attached to the BMEC monolayer. We had also used hPSCs exclusively maintained on MEFs prior to differentiation18 (link), but in this study no noticeable differences in BBB properties were observed between hPSCs maintained on MEFs and hPSCs maintained under feeder-independent conditions and we now exclusively use hPSCs maintained in mTeSR1 on Matrigel.

Human enteroid cultures were established from biopsies obtained after endoscopic or surgical procedures utilizing the methods developed by the laboratory of Dr. Hans Clevers22 (link). De-identified biopsy tissue was obtained from healthy subjects provided informed consent at Johns Hopkins University and all methods were carried out in accordance with approved guidelines and regulations. All experimental protocols were approved by the Johns Hopkins University Institutional Review Board (IRB# NA_00038329). Briefly, enteroids generated from isolated intestinal crypts17 (link) were maintained as cysts embedded in Matrigel (Corning, USA) in 24-well plates and cultured in Wnt3A containing NDM. Once multiple enteroid cultures had been generated, multiple wells were pooled, triturated in Cultrex Organoid Harvesting Solution (Trevigen, USA), and the fragments were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in NDM. Enteroid fragments (100 μl) were added onto 0.4 μm or 1.0 μm pore transparent polyester (PET) membrane 24-well cell culture inserts (Transwell; Corning, USA or Millipore, USA) pre-coated with human collagen IV (30 μg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, USA). NDM (600 μl) was added to the wells of the receiver plate, and the cultures incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Under these conditions, enteroid cultures reached confluency in 7-14 days. Monolayer differentiation was induced by incubation in Wnt3A-free20 (link) and Rspo-1-free DFM for five days. Monolayer confluency and differentiation were monitored by measuring TER with an ohmmeter (EVOM2 (link); World Precision Instruments, USA). The unit area resistances (ohm*cm2) were calculated according to the growth surface area of the inserts; 0.33 cm2 for both 0.4 and 1.0 μm inserts. Enteroids were derived from segments of the small intestine (duodenum, n = 5; jejunum, n = 1) and proximal colon (n = 1) for Fig. 3c. For all other experiments, results were generated from duodenal and jejunal enteroids derived from intestinal biopsies of healthy subjects.

Primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE) were provided by Nationwide Children’s Hospital Cure Cystic Fibrosis Columbus Epithelial Cell Core (Columbus, OH) without identifiers (exempt status from the Institutional Review Board). Primary HBE cells were cultured as previously reported in our lab [38 (link),70 (link)]. Briefly, primary human airway cells were seeded onto 6.5mm Transwell filters (Corning) coated with collagen Type IV (Sigma) with ~50,000 cells. Cells were seeded and fed with ROCK inhibitor-supplemented air-liquid interface (ALI) media on both sides of the membrane until optimal epithelial integrity was reached, as measured by an epithelial voltohmeter (~7 days; ~300 Ohms·cm2). Basal medium was replaced with PneumaCult-ALI (Stem Cell Technologies) differentiation medium, and cells were fed three times per week for ~3 weeks until fully differentiated. Cell differentiation and integrity of the bronchial epithelium were confirmed before each experiment. Cultures were also checked for absence of mycoplasma contamination.

The primary cultures of brain endothelial cells (BECs) were prepared from 6–7-month-old WT and APOB-100 transgenic mice as described in detail by Lénárt et al. [32 (link)]. 3 male and 3 female mice were used in both the WT (n = 6) and the APOB-100 group (n = 6) for each isolation. Forebrains were collected in ice-cold sterile PBS; meninges were removed, grey matter was minced by scalpel into 1 mm3 pieces and digested with 10 mg/ml collagenase II and 1 mg/ml DNase I in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F12 for 50 min at 37 °C. Microvessels were separated from myelin containing elements by centrifugation (1000×g, 20 min) in 20% bovine serum albumin (BSA)-DMEM and further digested with 10 mg/ml collagenase-dispase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and 1 mg/ml DNase I in DMEM/F12 for 35 min at 37 °C. Then they were washed twice in DMEM/F12 before plating on collagen type IV and fibronectin-coated (100 µg/ml each) dishes, 6 well plates (Corning Costar Co., Lowell, MA, USA) or cell culture inserts (Transwell clear, 1 cm2; pore size of 0.4 μm; Corning Costar Co.). Cultures were maintained in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 15% plasma-derived bovine serum (PDS; First Link, Wolverhampton, UK), 1 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (Roche) and 100 μg/ml heparin. During the first 2 days, the culture medium contained puromycin (4 μg/ml) in order to selectively remove P-glycoprotein-negative contaminating cells [33 (link)]. Cultures reached confluency within a week and were used for experiments. To induce BBB characteristics, BECs were co-cultured with mouse astroglial cells. The resulting double co-culture model was used for permeability studies and transendothelial electrical resistance measurements [34 (link), 35 (link)].

In vitro human BBB models were developed by combining three immortalized cell lines [11 (link)]). Briefly, HBPC/ci37 cells were seeded on the bottom side of the collagen IV- and Fibronectin-coated polycarbonate membrane of a transwell insert (Millicell cell culture insert 24-well hanging inserts, 0.4 μm PET; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) at a density of 1.0 × 104 cells/insert. The cells were then cultured for 1 day to allow them to attach firmly. HASTR/ci35 cells were seeded (5.0 × 104 cells/well) on collagen I-coated 24-well plates (Greiner Bio-one, Frickenhausen, Germany) and maintained in astrocyte culture medium. HBPC/ci37 cells were induced to differentiate by replacing the pericyte medium with pericyte differentiation medium, which was consisted of FBS- and blasticidin S-free pericyte medium; HASTR/ci35 cells were induced to differentiate by replacing the astrocyte culture medium with astrocyte differentiation medium, which was consisted of FBS- and blasticidin S-free astrocyte growth medium supplemented with 1 mM adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt monohydrate. After the differentiation media were added, both cell lines were cultured at 37 °C for 24 h. To start a coculture, HBMEC/ci18 cells were seeded on the inner side of the HBPC/ci37 cell culture insert at a density of 1.0 × 105 cells. Finally, the transwell inserts with HBMEC/ci18 cells and HBPC/ci37 cells were transferred into 24-well plates containing HASTR/ci35 cells. The cells were re-fed with VEGF- and EGF-free VascuLife complete medium in the inner insert and the Neurobasal medium with N2 supplement in the lower chamber. Day 0 was defined as the day of EC plating on the membrane. The cells were incubated at 33 °C.
On Day 1, the trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TEER) was measured by an EVOM2 voltohmmeter (World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, California, USA) with chopstick electrodes. The net resistance value was calculated by subtracting the measured resistance value of the insert membrane from the measured resistance value of the coculture. TEER (Ω × cm2) = the net resistance value (Ω) × surface area (cm2).
