Here, a 3D organoid culture system for mimicking HUA in vitro was established using cultured human liver organoids. Liver organoids can be generated from single hepatocytes and passaged for several months, retaining key morphological features, functional purine metabolism and global gene expression profile. Furthermore, organoids can be differentiated into hepatocytes with high expression of maturation markers including HNF4 α, E-cadherin, and ALB. Importantly, organoids can produce high level of uric acid after xanthine induction which is the substrate of xanthine oxidase. Furthermore, the preclinical application potential of this organoid model was verified by measuring the anti-hyperuricemic effect of the widely use d allopurinol, as well as the reported bioactive substance puerarin. The results demonstrate that this novel organoid model could be used for high-throughput screening of both chemical and food-derived compounds with antihyperuricemic bioactivity.
