Problems solved by technology

However, the difference between the two-dimensional culture environment and the human body environment is too large to accurately simulate the metabolic process in the body. Therefore, it is very important to construct a cost-effective evaluation model that can more accurately and reliably simulate the in vivo environment for the development and evaluation of drugs and foods.

Embodiment 1

[0034] A method for building a three-dimensional model of multi-cell co-culture, comprising the steps of:

[0035] (1) Recovery and culture of liver cancer cells HepG2, hepatic stellate cells LX-2, and endothelial cells EA.hy926

[0036] Take out the cryopreservation tubes containing liver cancer cells HepG2, hepatic stellate cells LX-2, and endothelial cells EA.hy926 respectively, melt them in a water bath at 37°C, and centrifuge them quickly, then use a cell-specific solution containing 1% double antibody and 10% fetal bovine serum. Culture medium (HepG2 cell culture medium is MEM, LX-2 and EA.hy926 medium is DMEM); change the medium every 2 days, and when the cells cover 70-80% of the bottom of the culture dish, use trypsin The digestion solution was used for digestion. When the cell shape was observed to be oval in the microscope, and some cells were about to detach from the wall, immediately add the culture medium to stop the digestion; collect the digested cells in a 15m...

Embodiment 2

[0041] Example 2 Ratio optimization of liver cancer cells HepG2, hepatic stellate cells LX-2, and endothelial cells EA.hy926

[0042] Adjust the number ratios of liver cancer cells HepG2, endothelial cells EA.hy926, and hepatic stellate cells LX-2 in Example 1 to 2:1:1, 8:1:1; others are consistent with Example 1, and the multicellular total 3D model of culture.

[0043] The three-dimensional model that embodiment 1 and 2 obtains is carried out cell survival situation observation, specifically:

[0044] After the shape of the microspheres is stable, aspirate the culture solution in the well plate as much as possible, add 100 μL of staining solution containing 2 μmol / LCalcein-AM and 4.5 μmol / L PI fluorescent probe to each well, and incubate at 37°C for 15 minutes; discard after the incubation is completed For the liquid in the well, add 100 μL of PBS solution to each well to wash twice, each time for 5 minutes; then add 100 μL of DAPI staining solution, incubate at 37°C for 10...

Embodiment 3

[0046] The optimization of number in the microsphere of embodiment 3

[0047]Adjust the culture time in step (3) of Example 1 so that 500 cells or 2000 cells form a sphere, and the others are consistent with Example 1 to obtain a three-dimensional cell model.

[0048] The obtained three-dimensional cell model was observed at 3, 9, 15, and 21 days and the area of ​​the sphere was quantified. The results are as follows: Figure 4 , it can be seen that: 500 cells formed spheres due to large differences and fluctuations between samples caused by human manipulation, and the data was not stable; 2000 cells obtained microspheres after 3 days, and the area of ​​some spheres exceeded 20 000 μm 2 , the excessive volume of the sphere may cause the cells in the middle of the microsphere to lack nutrients and oxygen, and eventually die; therefore, select 1000 cells to form a sphere.

Abstract

The invention discloses construction and application of a multi-cell co-cultured three-dimensional liver microsphere model, and belongs to the technical field of cell microspheres. The construction method of the multi-cell co-culture three-dimensional model comprises the following steps: preparing a mixed cell suspension from parenchymal hepatic cells, hepatic stellate cells and endothelial cells; and adding the mixed cell suspension into an ultralow adsorption pore plate, and performing culturing for 1-2 days to obtain the multi-cell co-culture three-dimensional model, wherein the number ratio of parenchymal hepatic cells to hepatic stellate cells to endothelial cells in the mixed cell suspension is 4: 1: 1, the parenchymal hepatic cell is a human liver cancer cell HepG2, the hepatic stellate cell is LX-2, and the endothelial cell is a human umbilical vein fusion cell EA.hy926. The model disclosed by the invention can be in omnibearing contact with a culture solution and other cells, and is closer to a cell environment in a human body, so that the evaluation of the three-dimensional model on hepatotoxicity or liver injury is more accurate and reliable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the construction and application of a multi-cell co-cultured three-dimensional liver microsphere model, and belongs to the technical field of cell microspheres. Background technique [0002] Traditional toxicological evaluations are usually based on animal experiments. Although animals can completely simulate the entire complex process of absorption, metabolism, transformation, and excretion, the differences between species cannot fully reflect the physiological processes of the human body. Animal experiments must be confirmed. The results need further experimental verification. Moreover, the animal experiment period is too long, the cost is high, and the sensitivity and specificity are relatively poor. With the continuous development of molecular biology and modern analysis techniques, more and more cell models have been used in the study of liver toxicity. [0003] Currently, two-dimensional culture-based cell models are st...
