IGFBP3 overexpression in tips and in tip-derived organoids becomes downregulated with the differentiation process. a Tip and stalk isolation after treatment of the bronchial tree with dispase and mechanical separation of the mesenchyme from the epithelium under the stereoscopic microscope. b Quantification of MUC5AC, c IGFBP3 and d miR-34a mRNA levels in tip and stalk enriched populations (n = 9 per group). e Immunofluorescence analysis of IGFBP3 and E-CAD in tip-derived organoids. f Microscope images showing gross morphology of tip-derived organoids cultured with control media vs differentiated organoids after 30-day culture with differentiation media (Pneumacult). g Immunofluorescence analysis of IGFBP3 and MUC5Ac in organoids cultured with control media and after 30-day differentiation with Pneumacult media. h Analysis of MUC5AC, i IGFBP3 and j miR-34a mRNA levels in control and differentiated organoids (n = 3 per group). k UMAP visualization of single-cell RNA sequencing data from control and alveolar differentiated tip-derived organoids, with colors representing the cell of origin. l UMAP visualization showing the different cell types identified in the control and alveolar differentiated tip-derived organoids. m UMAP illustrating IGFBP3 transcript expression in the control and alveolar differentiated tip-derived organoids
