Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a leading cause of neonatal death and long-term morbidity, involving complex pathophysiology including prematurity, abnormal bacterial colonization, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, partially mediated by neutrophils. However, development of targeted therapies for NEC is hindered by the limitations of current animal models. Thus, this study aimed to develop a human intestinal organoid model for NEC to investigate its pathophysiology, understand neutrophil involvement, and bridge animal and human research. Organoid cultures were established from human neonatal intestinal samples with NEC (n = 7) and without gut inflammation (controls, n = 7), treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and/or cocultured with neutrophils. Flow cytometry quantified neutrophil survival (PI/Annexin), activation (CD11b/CD66b), and TLR-4 expression, as well as organoid TLR-4 expression and apoptosis markers. NEC status and neutrophil recruitment were analyzed using immunofluorescence. After LPS administration, NEC organoids showed significantly increased TLR-4 expression, intestinal apoptosis markers, and NEC scores compared to controls, with more pronounced differences after neutrophil addition. Neutrophil activation markers were elevated when cocultured with both NEC and control organoids, but TLR-4 expression increased only with NEC organoids. The findings suggest that epithelial cells from NEC patients have a heightened innate TLR-4 expression upon LPS stimulation, potentially contributing to NEC development. LPS stimulation resulted in more pronounced NEC-like lesions in NEC organoids, which was exacerbated by neutrophils. This model demonstrates that neutrophils might contribute to NEC manifestation and maintenance, and that NEC organoids can reflect disease aspects, potentially aiding in the development of targeted therapies.
