Airway Epithelial Cultures of Children with Esophageal Atresia as a Model to Study Respiratory Tract Disorders. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:1020. [PMID: 37371252 DOI: 10.3390/children10061020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare birth defect in which respiratory tract disorders are a major cause of morbidity. It remains unclear whether respiratory tract disorders are in part caused by alterations in airway epithelial cell functions such as the activity of motile cilia. This can be studied using airway epithelial cell culture models of patients with EA. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility to culture and functionally characterize motile cilia function in the differentiated air-liquid interface cultured airway epithelial cells and 3D organoids derived from nasal brushings and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from children with EA. We demonstrate the feasibility of culturing differentiated airway epithelia and organoids of nasal brushings and BAL fluid of children with EA, which display normal motile cilia function. EA patient-derived airway epithelial cultures can be further used to examine whether alterations in epithelial functions contribute to respiratory disorders in EA.

Abstract
We congratulate Raviet al. [1] for their recent paper in ERJ Open Research, “Imprinting of bronchial epithelial cells upon in vivo rhinovirus infection in people with asthma”. We would like to discuss their study and make some contributions. A differentiated air–liquid interface model shows that the airway epithelium plays a key role in response to respiratory viral infections in people with asthmahttps://bit.ly/3yDgiX1
