Murine intestines were prepared as described previously5 (link). In situ hybridisation (ISH) assay was carried out as described previously5 (link). Organoids were immuno-stained either as whole-mount samples or as paraffin sections. Samples for IHC were processed as outlined before5 (link),24 and the following primary antibodies were used: ZEB2/SIP1 (H260; Santa-Cruz, or from Dr. Tulchinsky), E-cadherin (610181; BD), Vimentin (RV202; Santa-Cruz), α-SMA (ab5694; Abcam), Ki-67 (M7249; Dako) and Mucin2 (H300; Santa-Cruz). For IF, samples were exposed to goat anti-rabbit antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor594 (A11037; Invitrogen) and/or rabbit anti-mouse antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor488 (A11059; Invitrogen). Tetramethylrhodamine-B isothiocyanate (TRITC)-conjugated phalloidin (P1951; Sigma) was used to label actin filaments according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
