Its etiology and pathogenesis are not well defined in part due to the lack of reliable modeling. Here, we present the development of an <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> three-dimensional lung-on-chip biochip designed to mimic granuloma formation. A lung on chip fluidic macrodevice was developed and added to our previously developed a lung-on-membrane model (LOMM). Granulomas were cultured from blood samples of patients with sarcoidosis and then inserted in the air-lung-interface of the microchip to create a three-dimensional biochip pulmonary sarcoidosis model (3D BSGM). Cytokines were measured after 48 hours. ELISA testing was performed to measure cytokine response difference between LOMM with 3D BSGM. There were statistically significant differences in IL-1\u00df (P = 0.001953), IL-6 (P = 0.001953), GM-CSF (P = 0.001953), and INF-\u03b3 expressions (P = 0.09375) between two groups. The current model represents the first 3D biochip sarcoidosis model created by adding a microfluidics system to a dual-chambered lung on membrane model and introducing developed sarcoid-granuloma to its air-lung-interface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0245805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,5]],"date-time":"2021-02-05T12:41:15Z","timestamp":1612528875000},"page":"e0245805","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Novel three-dimensional biochip pulmonary sarcoidosis model"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Tess M.","family":"Calcagno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chongxu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Runxia","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Babak","family":"Ebrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5298-8442","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mehdi","family":"Mirsaeidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0245805.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"358","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocpiqo.2019.04.006","article-title":"Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Sarcoidosis","volume":"3","author":"P Ungprasert","year":"2019","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc Innov Qual Outcomes"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0245805.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"438","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.14-1120","article-title":"Racial difference in sarcoidosis mortality in the United States.","volume":"147","author":"M Mirsaeidi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Chest"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0245805.ref003","first-page":"231","article-title":"Mortality in sarcoidosis.
