Liver organoids were reconstructed by mouse-immortalized hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells (sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatic stellate cells) in a radial-flow bioreactor (RFB). A biodegradable apatite-fiber scaffold (AFS) was used as a scaffold packed in the RFB, which enables three-dimensional cell cultures. The organoids cocultured in the RFB showed a liver-like structure with high-density layers of hepatocytes and the formation of vessel-like structures. A liver organoid consisting of three cocultured cells was transplanted under the kidney capsule (kidney group) or into the omentum (omentum group) using BALB/c nude mice. Transplanted liver organoids survived in the kidney or omentum. The expression of mRNAs of albumin, connexin 26 and 32, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha, and glucose-6-phosphatase was increased in both groups at 8 weeks after transplantation in comparison to the pre-transplant status. Tyrosine aminotransferase appeared only in the omentum group. The results suggested that the functions of liver organoids differed depending on the transplanted site in the recipient animals.
