Human stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) offer an attractive platform to study liver disease and to test drugs. However, despite their advantages over other hepatocyte culture systems, HLCs lack several in vivo characteristics including cell polarity, which is critical for proper hepatocyte biology. We report a stem cell-based differentiation protocol that uses transwell filters to generate columnar polarized HLCs with clearly defined basolateral and apical membranes separated by tight junctions. Unlike conventional HLCs, polarized HLCs secrete cargo directionally, similar to hepatocytes in vivo. This novel system provides a powerful tool to study hepatocyte biology, disease mechanisms, genetic variation, and drug metabolism in a more physiologically relevant setting.
