Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a cancer of the epithelia comprising the ductal network of the pancreas. During disease progression, PDAC tumors recruit fibroblasts that promote fibrosis, increasing local tissue stiffness and subjecting epithelial cells to increased compressive forces. Previous in vitro studies have documented cytoskeletal and nuclear adaptation following compressive stresses in 2D and 3D. However, comparison of the responses of normal and tumor-derived ductal epithelia to physiologically relevant confinement remains underexplored, especially in 3D organoids. Here we control confinement with an engineered 3D microenvironment composed of Matrigel® mixed with a low yield stress granular microgel. Normal and tumor-derived murine pancreas organoids (normal and tumor) were cultured for 48 h within this composite 3D environment or in pure Matrigel® to investigate the effects of confinement on lumen morphogenesis. In confinement, tumor organoids (mT) formed lumen that expanded rapidly, whereas normal organoids (mN) expanded more slowly. Moreover, normal organoids in more confined conditions exhibited inverted apicobasal polarity compared to those in less confined conditions. Tumor organoids exhibited a collective “pulsing” behavior that increased in confinement. These pulses generated forces sufficient to locally overcome the yield stress of microgels in the direction of organoid expansion. Normal organoids more commonly exhibited unidirectional rotation. Our in vitro microgel confinement platform enabled the discovery of two distinct modes of collective force generation in organoids that may shed light on the mutual interactions between tumors and the microenvironment. These insights into in vitro dynamics may deepen our understanding of how confinement of healthy cells within a fibrotic tumor niche disrupts tissue organization and function in vivo.

FIGURE 1 Microgel composites increase confinement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methods: Rheological properties of pure Matrigel® (“less confined”) and microgel-Matrigel® composites (“more confined”) were measured using a TA Instruments® ARES G2 strain-controlled rotational rheometer. All rheological testing used stainless steel parallel plate upper geometry (25 mm diameter), Advanced Peltier Stage (APS) standard flat plate (TA Instruments®, cat.#402619.901) lower geometry, and constant geometry gap of 400 µm. Sample temperature was maintained at 37ºC in a humidified (≈88% RH) and enclosed solvent trap for all experiments. Matrigel® gelation time was maintained at 300 s for all samples prior to experimentation, beyond the gelation time reported by Corning® (t=250 s). Average storage moduli (G’) were determined in the linear viscoelastic region (0.1 to 1% oscillatory strain) for each sample during amplitude sweeps conducted at a frequency f = 1 Hz to demonstrate the rheological tunability of microgel composite systems. Average yield stresses, σy, were calculated at the crossover point of storage and loss moduli intersect (G´ = G´´) and determined using a linear and cubic spline combination (Cubic/Linear (Orche) method in the Trios software that has been well described in rheological studies.

FIGURE 2 Organoids exhibit genotype-dependent sensitivity to confinement
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methods: End-point brightfield images of organoids were taken at 48 h using a Nikon Ti2 Widefield microscope with a Plan Fluor 4✕PhL DL objective (NA = 0.13) at 5% CO2, 88% RH. Z-stacks spanned approximately 1.1 mm with a z-step of 20 µm. The widest region of each organoid was manually determined, and the organoid outer diameter was measured in FIJI by drawing a bisecting line across the equatorial plane of each organoid. A minimum of 300 organoids were measured per microenvironmental condition.

FIGURE 4: Organoid projected area and expansion kinetics over time
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methods: Organoids cultured in Matrigel® (“less confined”) or microgel composites (“more confined”) were plated in Ibidi µ-Slide 8 Well plates with a #1.5 cover glass bottom (Idibi, cat. #80827) and maintained in 5% CO2, 88% RH, and 37ºC conditions for 15 min before overlaying with pre-warmed Mouse Complete Feed Media. Organoids were imaged using a Leica DMi8 widefield microscope with either a HC PL FLUOTAR 10✕ (NA = 0.30) or HC PL FLUOTAR L 20✕ Ph1 (NA = 0.40) objective at 5% CO2, 88% RH, and 37°C. Z-stacks were collected every 15 min for 48 h and spanned approximately 200 µm in z with a z-step of 20 µm. Organoid expansion movies were generated by manual identification of each organoid’s widest equatorial plane at each timepoint to create final single plane movies. We developed a semi-automated method for organoid area segmentation using built-in FIJI edge detection. Movies were segmented and converted to binary objects to determine area change over time. For movies where multiple organoids were in frame or edge detection did not provide high fidelity segmentation over 48 h, manual segmentation was performed by drawing organoid regions of interest over every time frame. Area data was analyzed and plotted using GraphPad Prism version 10.1.1 for Mac, GraphPad Software, Boston, Massachusetts USA, www.graphpad.com.

FIGURE 5: Particle tracking quantifies microgel displacement due to organoid movement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methods: Confocal imaging was conducted using a Nikon Confocal A1R Laser Scanning Microscope in Resonant scanning mode. Organoids were fluorescently labeled at the time of plating by incubating the organoid pellet in media solution at 1:500 InvitrogenTMCellTrackerTM CMFDA (ThermoFisher cat.#C34552) for 30 min prior to resuspension in Matrigel® (“less confined”) or microgel composites (“more confined”). At 24 h, organoids with lumen were identified and imaged every 30 min for an additional 24 h. The equatorial plane of each organoid was manually determined, and maximum intensity projections were generated in FIJI from volumes spanning ±16 µm in the z-dimension centered around the organoid equatorial plane. A 100 ✕ 100 µm ROI was drawn at the interface of the organoid membrane and adjacent microgel microparticle embedded with fluorescent nanoparticles (see Section 8.02). Nanoparticle displacement trajectories indicating organoid-induced microgel movements were determined using the Mosaic FIJI plugin. To account for nanoparticles moving in and out of the focal plane, trajectories that persisted for less than 5 h were excluded from analysis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURE S1: Microgel particle sorting produces a diverse range of particle sizes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methods: Polyacrylamide hydrogels were synthesized at 3 wt.% AAm with a crosslinker concentration of 0.12 wt.% MBAm. Bulk hydrogels were mechanically processed and sorted by Stokes’ sedimentation to achieve an average microgel diameter of 104 ± 17 µm S.D. Microgels were imaged using a Nikon Ti2 Widefield Microscope with a Plan Fluor 4✕ (NA = 0.13) air objective and an S Plan Fluor 20✕ ELWD (NA = 0.45) air objective. Average microgel diameters were measured by defining three points at the edge of each microgel particle (n = 200) and fitting a circle that contained all three points. Microgel diameters were determined using the 3-point circle fitting tool in the NIS Element software.
