Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cell cryopreservation technology, and in particular to a hepatocyte cryopreservation solution, a method for cryopreserving primary mouse hepatocytes, and a method for thawing. Background Technology
[0002] Hepatocytes are the main cells of the liver, accounting for 80% of the liver's volume and number. They are highly differentiated cells. Hepatocytes are metabolically active, synthesizing essential clotting factors, fatty acids, cholesterol, phospholipids, etc., and storing glycogen, proteins, lipids, and vitamins to meet the body's needs.
[0003] Hepatocytes serve as seed cells for cell transplantation therapy of chronic liver failure and as target cells for drug screening. The preparation and culture of large-scale, highly viable hepatocytes is a fundamental step in these studies. Therefore, the isolation, culture, and cryopreservation techniques of hepatocytes are receiving increasing attention and have become a current research hotspot.
[0004] Hepatocytes are highly sensitive to external conditions and have poor tolerance to cryopreservation. Various chemical and physical damages caused during cryopreservation and thawing can affect hepatocyte viability and function. While cryopreservation technology for hepatocytes has been studied for many years, an ideal method for cryopreservation has yet to be found. A suitable cryopreservation solution will effectively help hepatocytes resist changes in osmotic pressure during cryopreservation and reduce damage during the process. Current technology allows for the cryopreservation of hepatocytes using UW solution, but UW solution can only preserve hepatocytes at low temperatures for short periods; long-term cryopreservation results are unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish a simple and efficient technique for long-term cryopreservation of primary mouse hepatocytes. Summary of the Invention

[0092] Example 1
[0093] like Figure 1 As shown, the isolation and cryopreservation of mouse hepatocytes includes the following steps:
[0094] S1: Preheating solution: Preheat 50mL of the first buffer solution and 50mL of digestive enzyme solution in a water bath at 42℃, so that they reach 37℃ in the liver.
[0095] S2: Surgical exposure of the peritoneum, ligation of the portal vein and removal of red blood cells: Heparin sodium (to prevent clotting) was injected into the peritoneum of mice, followed by sodium pentobarbital. The peritoneum was opened, and a ligation loop was loosely placed 5 mm outside the liver at the portal vein. The vascular cannula was inserted into the palmar surface of the liver and ligated. The subhepatic vessels were quickly cut open, and 50 mL of preheated first buffer solution was infused at a flow rate of 5-10 mL / min.
[0096] S3: Perfusion of digestive enzyme solution: Further perfuse 50 mL of digestive enzyme solution at a flow rate of 5-10 mL / min;
[0097] S4: Further digestion: The liver is cut off and placed in 50mL of digestive enzyme solution. Then, the liver tissue is torn apart with tweezers to detach the liver cells.
[0098] S5: Obtaining hepatocytes: Shake the cell suspension at 150 rpm for 10-15 min at 37℃; then filter the cell suspension through a 100 μm cell sieve, and centrifuge at 40-80 g / min for 5 min; resuspend the precipitated cells in a second buffer solution, and centrifuge at 40-80 g / min for 5 min, repeating the washing once;
[0099] S6: Continuous density gradient centrifugation purification: Resuspend hepatocytes in 10 mL of L15 basal medium, add 10 mL of 70-90% Percoll solution to the bottom layer of the test tube, gently add cell suspension to the top layer, and centrifuge at 400-600g for 10 min; after centrifugation, the mixture in the test tube will separate into four layers: the first layer is dead cells, the second layer is other contaminating cells, and the third layer is hepatocytes. Take the cells in the third layer with a pipette, resuspend them in the second buffer solution, and then add the bottom layer of 40-60% Percoll solution, the middle layer of 20%-30% Percoll solution, and the top layer of cell suspension to the centrifuge tube in a 1:1:1 volume ratio, centrifuge at 400-600g for 10 min, and purify again. The bottom precipitate in the centrifuge tube after centrifugation is hepatocytes;
[0100] S7: Cell pre-culture: Pour out the supernatant from the centrifuge tube, loosen the hepatocytes in the bottom sediment, and resuspend the hepatocytes in the pre-culture medium; pre-culture in a cell culture incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 30-60 min, transfer the cells to a 50 mL cryovial, and centrifuge at 50-100 g for 5 min at room temperature.
[0101] The pre-culture medium was supplemented with IL-6 and HGPF, which synergistically enhance the in vitro proliferation efficiency and cell viability of hepatocytes. To assess the cell viability after this pre-culture, a portion of the hepatocyte pellet was taken, stained with trypan blue, and the cell number and viability were calculated using an automated cell counter. Figure 2 As shown, the survival rate of freshly isolated cells is close to 100%, and the cell viability in repeated experiments is ≥96%, which is higher than that of conventional methods (usually ≥90%). This shows that the additives in the pre-culture can significantly improve cell activity, which is more conducive to the subsequent cryopreservation steps.
[0102] S8: Suspension cryopreservation: Mix the first and second cryopreservation mixtures, adjust the pH to 7.2-7.4, and add 10%-20% FBS to obtain hepatocyte cryopreservation solution. Prepare and use immediately. Resuspend the hepatocyte pellet that has been pre-cultured and centrifuged in step S7 in the hepatocyte cryopreservation solution. Place the hepatocyte suspension on ice and slowly add 2-6% DMSO at a rate of 1-5 mL / min. The slow addition method can maintain osmotic balance between the intracellular matrix and the culture medium, reducing cell damage. After the addition is complete, gently invert the cryopreservation tube to mix the cell suspension. Then place the cryopreservation tube in a -20°C freezer for 10-20 min, then transfer it to a -80°C freezer for 1-2 hours, and finally transfer it to a liquid nitrogen tank for cryopreservation.
[0103] Using the hepatocyte cryopreservation solution of this embodiment reduces the amount of DMSO used in the cryopreservation process, and further achieves highly efficient and low-toxicity protection by using a stepwise cooling method. Simultaneously, the components in the cryopreservation solution, such as S-adenosylmethionine, curcumin, glycyrrhizic acid, and silymarin, synergistically exert antioxidant effects; sugars and their derivatives regulate osmotic pressure and inhibit ice crystal formation; and components such as bicyclol, ursodeoxycholic acid, silymarin, and polyene phosphatidylcholine stabilize cell membranes and promote cell repair. Silymarin also promotes protein synthesis during the thawing process, further enhancing cell repair. Compared to traditional cryopreservation methods, the method of this embodiment significantly improves the survival rate, adhesion ability, and functional activity of cryopreserved hepatocytes.
[0104] Example 2
[0105] like Figure 3 As shown, the resuscitation and culture of hepatocytes in suspension cryopreservation includes the following steps. The hepatocytes in this embodiment were cryopreserved for 30 days according to the cryopreservation method of Example 1:
[0106] S9: Preheat density gradient centrifugation solution: Mix 20-30 mL of second buffer solution and 10-20 mL of 70-90% Percoll solution to obtain density gradient centrifugation solution. Add the density gradient centrifugation solution to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and preheat in a 37℃ constant temperature water bath for 20 min.
[0107] S10: Cell thawing: Transfer the cryovials containing hepatocytes from the liquid nitrogen tank to a constant temperature water bath maintained at 37°C; the transfer from the liquid nitrogen tank to the water bath should be completed within 10 seconds to facilitate rapid thawing.
[0108] S11: Centrifugal purification: Transfer the hepatocytes from the cryopreservation tube to a preheated 15mL centrifuge tube containing density gradient centrifugation solution, and then centrifuge at 50-100g for 5min.
[0109] S12: Resuscitation culture: Discard the supernatant after centrifugation in step S11, resuspend the cell pellet with 6 mL of resuscitation culture medium, and culture in a cell culture incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 30 min. The time point when the resuscitation culture is completed is recorded as 0 h after resuscitation.
[0110] To assess the resuscitation effect, a small amount of cell suspension can be taken, stained with trypan blue, and the total cell count and cell viability can be calculated. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the cell viability was 96% after 0 hours of thawing, and the cell viability was ≥95% in multiple repeated experiments, which is significantly higher than the level of conventional cryopreservation methods (usually around 80%).
[0111] S13: Plate culture: Take an appropriate amount of cell suspension, add complete culture medium, inoculate into culture plates, and then place them in a cell culture incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for further culture; the culture plates include untreated plates and rat tail collagen-coated plates; the hepatocytes in the untreated plates are in suspension culture and are used to continue to observe the activity of the resuscitated hepatocytes in the further culture process; the hepatocytes in the rat tail collagen-coated plates are in adherent culture and are used to observe the adhesion rate of the resuscitated hepatocytes.
[0112] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the viability of suspended cells in untreated plates 4 hours after resuscitation was 91% (the viability was ≥90% in multiple repeated experiments), and the viability of suspended cells 6 hours after resuscitation was 88% (the viability was ≥85% in multiple repeated experiments). Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cell morphology of hepatocytes after resuscitation and adherence culture was shown. The adhesion rate of hepatocytes was ≥90% after 2 hours of resuscitation. Further enzyme activity assays of hepatocytes showed that 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation (ECOD) activity was ≥400 pmol / min / million cells; 7-hydroxycoumarin glucuronidation (UGT) activity was ≥100 pmol / min / million cells; and 7-hydroxycoumarin sulfation (ST) activity was ≥30 pmol / min / million cells.
[0113] Compared with existing cryopreservation technologies, this invention establishes a simple and efficient method for the cryopreservation and resuscitation of primary mouse hepatocytes. After resuscitation, the primary cells, observed by cell morphology and enzyme activity assays, exhibit high quantity, high purity, and good activity, with a cell viability and purity exceeding 95%. Furthermore, this method is economical, practical, and easy to implement, facilitating the establishment of in vitro experimental cell models, the study of hepatocyte characteristics, and the provision of high-quality hepatocytes for cell transplantation and drug screening research.
