Explants from adult Syrian hamster duodenum have been maintained in organ culture on gelatin sponges using CMRL 1066 serum supplemented media for 30 days. There was necrosis of the tall villi architecture during the 1st week in culture while columnar and mucous cells survived, migrated, and replicated along portions of the explant basement membrane and in the gelatin sponge matrix. Cells in the sponge multiplied and formed epithelial sheets which showed villus projections and cyst configurations. The cells in these epithelial structures were attached to one another by junctional complexes. Epithelial cells were isolated from the sponge matrix by collagenase digestion and were successfully grown in culture. These duodenal explants and cells show potential for use as in vitro models for experimental studies, involving acute and chronic response of cells to injury or carcinogen-induced transformation.
