Induction of hepatocyte differentiation of organoids derived from surgically resected IHCC tissues. Organoids were established using surgically resected tissues of poorly to moderately differentiated IHCC from patient #2 (a) and moderately differentiated IHCC from patient #3 (b). H&E and CK19 staining of the primary tissues and organoids derived from IHCC cases (scale bars: 100 μm) and bright-field images of IHCC organoids (scale bars: 1000 μm) are shown. After stable culture over 10 passages, these IHCC organoids were subjected to hepatocyte differentiation using the same protocol, and the relative expression of Albumin (ALB) and CYP3A4 in organoids that had been cultured in EM or DM were examined.
