RNA from cells of 3D cultures was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) or the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN). RNA from tissue samples was isolated using the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN). After pelleting the organoids, they were lysed in the respective sample buffer and RNA purification was performed according to the manufacturer's protocols. RNA concentration and purity were measured with a NanoDrop® ND‐1000 Spectrophotometer.
For microarray analysis, total RNA was isolated with TRIzol (Life Technologies) according to the supplier's protocol using glycogen as carrier. Quality control and quantification of total RNA were carried out using the NanoDrop 1000 UV‐Vis spectrophotometer (Kisker) as well as the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer with a RNA Nano 6000 microfluidics kit (Agilent Technologies).
