Description

Technical Field

[0001] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a well plate or a culture method. Background Art

[0002] In the cultivation of cells, tissues and organs (hereinafter also collectively referred to as "cells, etc.") in medical treatment or drug development such as drug screening, an orifice plate having one or more holes consisting of a bottom surface and a side wall is widely used. The orifice plate is generally formed in a manner that the bottom surface and the side wall are integrated. In addition, as a material for the orifice plate, polystyrene is widely used from the viewpoint of transparency and cost.

[0003] When cells and the like are cultured using a well plate, a culture medium and cells and the like are placed in the wells, and the cells and the like are cultured on the bottom surface of the wells. When the culture medium is placed in the wells, the culture medium is usually allowed to flow into the wells along the side walls of the wells so as not to damage the cells and the like on the bottom surface of the wells.

[0004] However, it is known that polystyrene easily adsorbs drugs and proteins and has high drug adsorption. Therefore, when using an integrally formed polystyrene well plate, when the culture medium is allowed to flow along the well side wall, the drugs and proteins in the culture medium are adsorbed by the polystyrene constituting the well side wall, and there is a problem that the drugs and proteins cannot be fully distributed to the cells in the well.

[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses a plastic molded product used in the field of biotechnology as a plastic molded product to which DNA and protein are difficult to adhere. The plastic molded product is composed of a molded product molded using a plastic material, wherein the plastic material is based on a thermoplastic plastic and a silicone copolymer resin is added to the thermoplastic plastic and mixed.

[0033] Moreover, when describing a numerical range in stages, the upper limit and the lower limit of each numerical range can be arbitrarily combined.

[0034] <Orifice Plate>

[0035] An orifice plate of one embodiment of the present invention has a bottom surface member and a hole side wall member, at least one hole is formed by the bottom surface member and the hole side wall member being joined, the bottom surface member and the hole side wall member being made of different materials, and the surface free energy of the hole side wall member being 18.0 to 34.0 mN / m. Hereinafter, the orifice plate is also referred to as an orifice plate (X).

[0036] The well side wall member and the bottom surface member of the well plate (X) are joined so that cells or the culture medium in the wells do not leak out. The joining may be any of mechanical joining, material joining, and adhesive joining.

[0037] The well plate (X) is a plate having at least one well. The well plate (X) is preferably a multi-well plate having a plurality of wells such as 6 wells, 12 wells, 24 wells, 48 ​​wells, 96 wells, 384 wells, 1536 wells, etc.

[0038] The orifice plate (X) may have a cover covering the upper portion of the plate.

[0039] The well plate (X) can be used in a culture method having a step of culturing cells, tissues or organs. The cells, tissues and organs are not particularly limited, and the well plate (X) can be used for culturing known cells, tissues and organs.

[0040] The well plate (X) is preferably an adhesive material because cells etc. have excellent adhesion. The cells etc. are preferably cells, and more preferably adhesive cells, because they are suitable for culture on the culture surface of the well plate (X).

[0041] There is no particular restriction on the manufacturing method of the orifice plate (X), and there is no particular restriction on the equipment used for manufacturing. The orifice plate (X) can be obtained, for example, by forming the hole side wall member into a desired shape by extrusion molding, solution casting molding, injection molding, blow molding, etc., and then joining it with the bottom surface member. There is no particular restriction on the joining method, and examples thereof include: mechanical joining such as clamping with an elastic spring member or fastening with a threaded member; material joining such as welding using heat, ultrasound, laser, high-frequency medium, etc.; adhesive joining using an adhesive or bonding agent.

[0042] <Bottom member>

[0043] The bottom surface member is a member constituting the bottom surface of the orifice plate (X), and forms at least one orifice by being joined with the orifice side wall member. When the bottom surface member forms at least one orifice by being joined with the orifice side wall member, the bottom surface member constitutes the bottom surface of the orifice.

[0044] The material constituting the bottom surface member can be any material different from the material constituting the hole side wall member, without any particular restrictions, and known materials (such as resins such as thermosetting resins and thermoplastic resins, glass, etc.) can be used. Specifically, as the material constituting the hole side wall member, the bottom surface member can be constituted by the same material as the material described later. However, it is necessary to be a material different from the material constituting the hole side wall member. It should be noted that different materials refer to: the main material constituting the bottom surface member (the material constituting the member contains the most material on a mass basis) is different from the main material constituting the hole side wall member. In the case where the main material is a (co)polymer, different materials refer to: excluding the situation where the types and proportions of the structural units constituting the polymer are the same. For example, even if the material constituting the bottom surface member and the material constituting the hole side wall member contain a common structural unit, as long as the ratio of the structural unit is different between the material constituting the bottom surface member and the material constituting the hole side wall member, the material constituting the bottom surface member and the material constituting the hole side wall member are also different.

[0045] The material constituting the bottom surface member preferably comprises a thermoplastic resin or glass, and more preferably comprises a polyolefin resin. The polyolefin resin is preferably at least one selected from a cyclic olefin copolymer (α), a 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β), a propylene polymer (γ), and a cyclic olefin polymer (δ) (wherein the cyclic olefin copolymer (α) is not included), more preferably a 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β), a propylene polymer (γ), and further preferably a 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β).

[0046] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the bottom surface member measured in accordance with JIS-K7121: 1987 is preferably -40°C or higher, more preferably -20°C or higher. The upper limit of Tg is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, 600°C or lower.

[0047] When the Tg of the bottom surface member is within the above range, the bottom surface member has excellent flexibility and strength, and has excellent low drug adsorption properties.

[0048] The total light transmittance of the bottom member measured in accordance with JIS-K-7361-1 is preferably 80.0% or more, more preferably 90.0% or more. The upper limit of the total light transmittance is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 100.0% or less or less.

[0049] When the total light transmittance of the bottom surface member is within the above range, the bottom surface member has excellent transparency, and cells and the like can be easily observed both with the naked eye and under a microscope.

[0050] The thickness of the bottom member is preferably 20 to 500 μm, more preferably 40 to 300 μm. If the thickness of the bottom member is within the above range, the bottom surface of the culture container will not bend when culturing cells, and a suitable culture container can be manufactured.

[0051] The shape of the bottom surface member is not particularly limited as long as at least one hole can be formed by joining with the hole side wall member, and is preferably in the shape of a plate, a film, or a sheet.

[0052] The shape of the inner side of the hole of the bottom surface member can include a flat bottom (F bottom), a round bottom (U bottom), a conical bottom (V bottom), a flat bottom + a curved edge, etc. In the case of processing into a round bottom (U bottom), a conical bottom (V bottom), a flat bottom + a curved edge, etc., a plate, a membrane or a sheet can also be made in advance, and a second process such as vacuum forming or pressure forming can be performed to make it. The shape of the inner side of the hole of the bottom surface member can be selected according to the purpose of culture. When cells are cultured in two dimensions, a flat bottom (F bottom) is usually preferred, and when cells are cultured in three dimensions, a round bottom (U bottom) or a conical bottom (V bottom) is usually preferred.

[0053] The manufacturing method of the bottom surface member is not particularly limited, and the equipment used for manufacturing is also not limited. The plate, film, sheet or other molded product as the bottom surface member can be obtained by directly molding the material constituting the bottom surface member using methods such as extrusion molding, solution casting molding, injection molding, blow molding, etc.

[0054] As a method for forming the film or sheet, specifically, for example, a common inflation method, a T-die extrusion method, etc. are used. The production is usually carried out by heating. In the case of the T-die extrusion method, the extrusion temperature varies depending on the type of material constituting the bottom surface member, and is preferably 100°C to 400°C, and particularly preferably 150°C to 300°C. In addition, the roll temperature is preferably 20°C to 100°C, and particularly preferably 30°C to 90°C.

[0055] In addition, the film or sheet can also be manufactured by a solution casting method, in which the material constituting the bottom surface member is dissolved in a solvent and made to flow over a resin or metal, and is slowly dried while being leveled and filmized (sheetized). The solvent used is not particularly limited, and hydrocarbon solvents such as cyclohexane, hexane, decane, and toluene can be used. In addition, considering the solubility and drying efficiency of the material, the solvent can be mixed with more than two kinds. The polymer solution can be applied by methods such as bench coating, spin coating, dip coating, die coating, spray coating, rod coating, roller coating, curtain flow coating, dried, peeled off, and thus processed into a film or sheet.

[0056] At least the culture surface of the bottom surface member, in particular the bottom surface member, is preferably surface treated. Here, "culture surface" refers to the surface inside the hole of the bottom surface member, the surface that the cells etc. contact when using a well plate to culture cells etc. or the surface that is planned to contact.

[0057] By surface treating at least the culture surface of the bottom surface member, it can be made into a state where cells etc. can be easily adhered, and cells etc. can be easily proliferated uniformly. In addition, the wettability of the culture surface is improved, and at least one coating agent selected from natural polymer materials, synthetic polymer materials and inorganic materials can be easily applied on the culture surface. The coating will be described later.

[0058] Surface treatment is preferably performed before joining the bottom surface member to the hole side wall member.

[0059] As surface treatment, for example, hydrophilization treatment can be mentioned. The method used in the hydrophilization treatment is not particularly limited, and for example, corona treatment, plasma treatment, ozone treatment, ultraviolet treatment, chemical vapor deposition, etching, or addition of specific functional groups such as hydroxyl, amino, sulfonic group, thiol group, carboxyl, etc., the treatment of specific functional groups such as silane coupling, the surface roughening using oxidants, etc. can be mentioned. Wherein, in order to improve the wettability of the bottom surface member, cells can be effectively cultured, etc., it is preferred to carry out surface hydrophilization treatments such as ultraviolet treatment, corona treatment, plasma treatment or ozone treatment. These surface treatments can be carried out alone, or two or more can be combined.

[0060] In these surface treatments, owing to being able to make it become the state of easy bonding surface, the culture surface of the preferred bottom surface member at least is the culture surface treated with plasma.As plasma treatment, vacuum plasma treatment, normal pressure plasma treatment and high pressure plasma treatment can be enumerated.When carrying out plasma treatment, as accompanying gas, use nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, oxygen, argon etc., preferably select at least one gas selected from nitrogen, helium, argon.

[0061] The culture surface of the bottom member is preferably a culture surface coated with at least one coating agent selected from the group consisting of natural polymer materials, synthetic polymer materials, and inorganic materials.

[0062] There is no particular limitation on the coating agent. Examples of natural polymer materials include glycosaminoglycans such as collagen, gelatin, alginate, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, fibronectin, laminin, fibrinogen, osteopontin, tenascin, vitronectin, thrombospondin, agarose, elastin, keratin, chitosan, fibrin, silk protein, and sugars. Examples of synthetic polymer materials include polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polyethylene glycol, polycaprolactone, synthetic peptides, synthetic proteins, polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate, and polyethyleneimine. Examples of inorganic materials include β-tricalcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.

[0063] In addition, as the coating agent, vitrigel obtained by vitrifying and then hydrating a hydrogel of a conventional extracellular matrix component, etc. For example, collagen vitrigel consisting of a high-density collagen fiber network made of collagen, which is one of the extracellular matrix components, can also be mentioned.

[0064] From the viewpoints of improving the adhesion or proliferation of cells, etc., and maintaining the functions of cells, etc. for a longer period of time, the coating agent is preferably a protein or peptide such as collagen, gelatin, laminin, polylysine, etc., more preferably laminin, collagen or polylysine, and further preferably collagen. These coating agents may be a single species or a combination of two or more species.

[0065] The bottom surface member is subjected to the above-mentioned coating treatment so that even when it is washed with physiological saline after the coating treatment or placed in a culture environment of cells, the well plate will not deform, discolor or peel off, and can maintain a stable initial state and be used as a culture container, so it is preferred.

[0066] The water contact angle of the culture surface of the bottom member is preferably 30° or more, more preferably 35° or more, further preferably 40° or more, particularly preferably 45° or more, and further preferably 50° or more. The water contact angle is preferably 120° or less, more preferably 110° or less, further preferably 100° or less, and particularly preferably 84° or less or 70° or less. The upper and lower limits may be combined arbitrarily.

[0067] By adjusting the water contact angle of the bottom surface member to the above range, for example, cells etc. become easy to adhere to the bottom surface member, and cells etc. are easy to proliferate evenly on the bottom surface member. In addition, the natural polymer material, synthetic polymer material or inorganic material is evenly coated on the bottom surface member to make it easy to adhere. In addition, even after coating, when washed with physiological saline or placed in a cell culture environment, the natural polymer material, synthetic polymer material or inorganic material will not peel off, and can maintain a stable initial state for cell culture.

[0068] The water contact angle is measured by a sessile drop method. The details of the measurement method will be described later.

In addition, under the normal temperature of 25°C to 40°C when culturing cells, the molecules of the hole sidewall member are not easy to move, and as a result, it is not easy to adsorb the drug, so it is preferred.

[0075] The material constituting the hole side wall member is not particularly limited as long as the material has a surface free energy within the above range and is different from that of the bottom surface member, and a known thermosetting resin, thermoplastic resin, etc. can be used.

[0123] (4-Methyl-1-pentene polymer (β))

[0124] Hereinafter, the 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) will be described, but the 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0125] The 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) includes a homopolymer of 4-methyl-1-pentene and a copolymer of 4-methyl-1-pentene and other monomers. In addition, the homopolymer of 4-methyl-1-pentene is hereinafter also referred to as a 4-methyl-1-pentene homopolymer (β1).

[0126] The copolymer of 4-methyl-1-pentene and other monomers may be any of a random copolymer, an alternating copolymer, a block copolymer and a graft copolymer. The copolymer of 4-methyl-1-pentene and other monomers is preferably a copolymer (β2) of 4-methyl-1-pentene and at least one olefin selected from ethylene and α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms (excluding 4-methyl-1-pentene) because the obtained member has high strength (not easy to break or crack) and little deflection.

[0127] The 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) is preferably at least one polymer selected from a 4-methyl-1-pentene homopolymer (β1) and a copolymer (β2) of 4-methyl-1-pentene and at least one olefin selected from ethylene and α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms (excluding 4-methyl-1-pentene), and more preferably a copolymer (β2) of 4-methyl-1-pentene and at least one olefin selected from ethylene and α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms (excluding 4-methyl-1-pentene).

[0128] As the olefin, for example, ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-heptadecene, 1-octadecene and 1-eicosene can be cited. The olefin can be appropriately selected according to the physical properties required for the culture material. For example, as the olefin, from the viewpoint of moderate oxygen permeability and excellent rigidity, α-olefins with 8 to 18 carbon atoms are preferred, and at least one of 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-heptadecene and 1-octadecene is more preferably selected. If the number of carbon atoms of the olefin is within the above range, the film-forming processability of the polymer becomes better, and as a result, there is a tendency that it is not easy to produce a poor appearance caused by cracks or ruptures at the end when demolding from a roller or a mold during molding. Therefore, the defective product incidence rate of the obtained component becomes low.

[0129] The olefin may contain only one kind, or two or more kinds may be combined. From the viewpoint of the strength of the material, the number of carbon atoms is preferably 10 or more. When two or more different α-olefins are combined, it is particularly preferred to combine at least one selected from 1-tetradecene and 1-hexadecene with at least one selected from 1-heptadecene and 1-octadecene.

[0130] The content of the structural unit derived from 4-methyl-1-pentene is preferably 60 to 100 mol%, more preferably 80 to 98 mol%. In addition, the content of the structural unit derived from at least one olefin selected from ethylene and α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms (excluding 4-methyl-1-pentene) is preferably 0 to 40 mol%, more preferably 2 to 20 mol%. It should be noted that the content of the structural unit is based on the amount of all repeating structural units as 100 mol%. If the content of the structural unit is within the above range, a homogeneous component with excellent processability can be obtained, and the balance between toughness and strength is good, so the deflection is also reduced.

[0131] The 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) may also have structural units other than structural units derived from 4-methyl-1-pentene and structural units derived from the olefins (hereinafter also referred to as "other structural units") within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. The content of other structural units is, for example, 0 to 10.0 mol%. When the 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) has other structural units, the other structural units may be one type or two or more types.

[0132] Examples of monomers from which other structural units are derived include cyclic olefins, aromatic vinyl compounds, conjugated dienes, non-conjugated polyenes, functional vinyl compounds, hydroxyl-containing olefins, and halogenated olefins. Examples of cyclic olefins, aromatic vinyl compounds, conjugated dienes, non-conjugated polyenes, functional vinyl compounds, hydroxyl-containing olefins, and halogenated olefins include compounds described in paragraphs

[0035] to

[0041] of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-169685.

[0133] The 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0134] As the 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer (β), a commercially available product can be used. As a commercially available 4-methyl-1-pentene polymer, TPX series manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. can be used.

[0319] (Measurement of surface free energy)

[0320] Using an A-XE type (manufactured by Kyowa Interface Chemical Co., Ltd.) contact angle meter, water, diiodomethane, and 1-bromonaphthalene were used as standard test solutions 1 to 3 to measure the contact angle of the well plate frame (test object). The surface free energy of the test object was calculated using the known surface free energy of the standard test solution and the measured value of the contact angle of the standard test solution on the test object by a calculation method based on the Kitazaki-Hata theory described later for calculating the surface free energy. The calculation was performed using the application software attached to the contact angle meter, namely the multifunctional comprehensive analysis software FAMAS (manufactured by Kyowa Interface Chemical Co., Ltd.). In addition, the numerical values ​​recorded in Table 1 record the average value of the results of three contact angle measurements performed on one test object in the same test.

[0321] The following describes Kitazaki-Hata's theory in more detail.

[0322] When the surface free energy of the orifice frame to be calculated is set to A, and the components of the surface free energy A are set to the component attributable to the dispersion force (Ad), the component attributable to the orientation (polar) force (Ap), and the component attributable to the hydrogen bonding force (A1h), A is as shown in formula (10). The intermolecular force caused by the inductive force is extremely small and is therefore ignored in the calculation.

[0323] [Number 1]

[0324] A=A d +A p +A h Formula (10)

[0325] In addition, the surface free energy of the standard test solution 1 whose values ​​of each component are known is referred to as B1, and the component of the surface free energy B1 is referred to as the component attributable to the dispersion force (B 1d ), the component attributable to the orientation (polarity) force (B 1p ) and the component attributable to hydrogen bonding (B 1h ), B1 is as shown in formula (11).

[0326] [Number 2]

[0327] B1=B 1d +B 1p +B 1h Formula (11)

[0328] Similarly, when the surface free energy of the standard test liquid 2 whose values ​​of each component are known is set to B2 and the surface free energy of the liquid 3 whose values ​​of each component are known is set to B3, B2 and B3 are expressed as equations (12) and (13), respectively.
