Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of culturing bladder cancer tumor cell organoids, and specifically provides a device and method for culturing bladder cancer tumor cell organoids. Background Art
[0002] A bladder cancer tumor cell organoid refers to a microscopic structure formed by bladder cancer tumor cells with similar organ structures and functions.
[0003] When culturing existing bladder cancer tumor cell organoids, it is necessary to culture the extracted and isolated bladder cancer tumor cells through a culture medium to provide necessary nutrients and environment for the bladder cancer tumor cells. The replacement of the culture medium needs to be carried out according to the cell growth state and experimental requirements, generally once every three days. If the color of the culture medium turns yellow, it needs to be replaced immediately. When replacing, a direct replacement method can be adopted to make the cells adapt to the new culture medium; a more gentle method can also be adopted. When passaging the cells, the new culture medium and the originally recommended culture medium are mixed in a certain proportion and gradually replaced, while closely observing the growth state of the cells to ensure that the cells can adapt to the new culture medium environment.
[0004] However, the existing devices for culturing bladder cancer tumor cell organoids are relatively simple. Generally, bladder cancer tumor cells and the culture medium are directly placed in glassware for culturing. According to the culture environment required by bladder cancer tumor cells, the glassware also needs to be placed in a carbon dioxide incubator for culturing. During the culturing process, the replacement of the culture medium requires manual operation by the operator. While gradually removing the culture medium to be replaced with a dropper or a pipette, new culture medium is injected into the glassware. Moreover, after the culture of the culture medium is completed, the liquid around the bladder cancer tumor cells also needs to be removed. Therefore, the culturing of bladder cancer tumor cell organoids is not only cumbersome in operation but also has too low efficiency.

[0036] The sealing cover plate is detachably installed on the top of the placement vessel. The observation port is arranged at the front end of the surface of the sealing cover plate. The liquid injection valve is arranged at the right end of the surface of the sealing cover plate.
[0037] A method for using a bladder cancer tumor cell organoid culture device includes the following operating methods:
[0038] S1: Place the culture vessel on the top of the sealing box. At this time, the knob groove at the bottom of the piston is inserted by the knob block. By rotating the culture vessel, the piston is driven to rotate, so that one end of the knob block is inserted into the groove on the inner side of the inner wall of the knob groove, thereby limiting the placement of the culture vessel.
[0039] S2: Put the extracted and separated bladder cancer tumor cells into the interior of the culture vessel, which is received by the surface of the piston. Then press and install the auxiliary cover plate on the top of the culture vessel. At this time, the bottom of the telescopic filter plate contacts the surface of the piston, so that the telescopic filter plate wraps and isolates the bladder cancer tumor cells, and connects the sealing cover plate to the placement vessel by pressing to seal the placement vessel.
[0040] S3: When culturing, inject the configured concentration of culture medium into the interior of the placement vessel through the liquid injection valve for storage. At this time, the blocking plate of the second rotating disk blocks the liquid outlet groove of the annular partition to prevent the culture medium from draining. By starting the hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic cylinder drives the grasping rod to expand and contract, and under the limit of the arc groove on the surface of the chassis, the rubber sheet and the mounting plate are forced to perform an operation of rotating and lifting at the same time. Since the top of the auxiliary cover plate contacts the bottom of the sealing cover plate, the movement of the sealing box forces the piston to perform a rotary lifting movement, so that the culture medium in the placement vessel enters the interior of the culture vessel through the liquid delivery pipeline, soaks the bladder cancer tumor cells, and thus cultures the bladder cancer tumor cells.
[0041] S4: When observing the culture medium through the observation port after a period of time or when it is necessary to replace the culture medium, start the rotary motor, so that the rotary motor drives the gear and the first rotating disk to rotate, thereby driving the second rotating disk to rotate. Under the action of the reset spring, when the blocking plate rotates out of the liquid outlet groove, the second rotating disk sinks, so that the blocking plate smoothly disengages from the liquid outlet groove. At this time, the excess culture medium in the placement vessel falls into the interior of the drainage tray through the first rotating disk and the second rotating disk, and is discharged through the drainage pipeline. After draining until clean, make the blocking plate and the liquid outlet groove return to the initial position, and then inject the culture medium to be replaced into the interior of the placement vessel through the liquid injection valve. At this time, start the hydraulic cylinder again to make the new culture medium interact and mix with the culture medium in the culture vessel.
[0042] S5: After the cultivation is completed, the culture medium is drained through the drive of the hydraulic cylinder until it is clean. Then, the culture vessel is taken out, and subsequent operations are performed on the bladder cancer tumor cells in the culture vessel.
[0043] Compared with the prior art:
[0044] In the present invention, the bladder cancer tumor cells are stored separately through the setting of the culture mechanism, preventing the bladder cancer tumor cells from spreading to the entire vessel during cultivation due to being placed obliquely, thereby increasing the operation difficulty of liquid change.
[0045] Through the mutual cooperation of the liquid discharge mechanism, the lifting drive mechanism and the culture mechanism, the present invention can make the new culture medium interact and fuse with the culture medium inside the culture mechanism, thereby reducing the operation steps of liquid change, lowering the liquid change difficulty, and being able to achieve automatic liquid discharge, making the taken-out bladder cancer tumor cells relatively clean and tidy.

At the same time, the telescopic filter plate 422 can be telescoped as the piston 414 moves up and down.
[0068] The sealing assembly 5 is detachably installed on the top of the culture medium placement mechanism 1, and the culture medium placement mechanism 1 is sealed by the sealing assembly 5. The sealing assembly 5 includes a sealing cover plate 51, an observation port 52, and a liquid injection valve 53. The sealing cover plate 51 is detachably installed on the top of the placement vessel 121, and the placement vessel 121 can be sealed and encapsulated through the sealing cover plate 51. The observation port 52 is arranged at the front end of the surface of the sealing cover plate 51, and the internal situation of the placement vessel 121 can be observed through the observation port 52. The liquid injection valve 53 is arranged at the right end of the surface of the sealing cover plate 51, and the culture medium can be injected into the interior of the placement vessel 121 through the liquid injection valve 53.
[0069] In specific use, a person skilled in the art places the culture vessel 411 on the top of the sealed box 325. At this time, the knob groove 415 at the bottom of the piston 414 is inserted by the knob block 327. By rotating the culture vessel 411, the piston 414 is driven to rotate, so that one end of the knob block 327 is inserted into the groove on the side of the inner wall of the knob groove 415, thereby limiting the placement of the culture vessel 411. The extracted and separated bladder cancer tumor cells are placed inside the culture vessel 411 and are received by the surface of the piston 414. Then, the auxiliary cover plate 421 is pressed and installed on the top of the culture vessel 411. At this time, the bottom of the telescopic filter plate 422 contacts the surface of the piston 414, so that the telescopic filter plate 422 wraps and isolates the bladder cancer tumor cells, and the sealed cover plate 51 is connected to the placement vessel 121 by pressing to seal the placement vessel 121. When culturing, the culture medium with a configured concentration is injected into the interior of the placement vessel 121 through the liquid injection valve 53 for storage. At this time, the baffle 216 of the second rotating disk 215 blocks the liquid outlet groove 123 of the annular partition 122 to prevent the culture medium from draining. By starting the hydraulic cylinder 324, the hydraulic cylinder 324 drives the grab bar 326 to expand and contract, and under the limitation of the arc groove 112 on the surface of the chassis 111, the rubber sheet 321 and the mounting plate 322 are forced to perform an operation of rotating and lifting at the same time. Since the top of the auxiliary cover plate 421 contacts the bottom of the sealed cover plate 51, the movement of the sealed box 325 forces the piston 414 to perform a rotary lifting movement, so that the culture medium inside the placement vessel 121 enters the interior of the culture vessel 411 through the liquid transport pipe 412 to soak the bladder cancer tumor cells, thereby culturing the bladder cancer tumor cells. At the same time, the liquid injection valve 53 can be externally connected to carbon dioxide or other gases required for culturing, so that the bladder cancer tumor cells are continuously cultured inside the culture vessel 411. When, after a period of time or by observing the culture medium through the observation port 52, it is necessary to replace the culture medium, by starting the rotary motor 132, the rotary motor 132 drives the gear 133 and the first rotating disk 211 to rotate, so that the second rotating disk 215 rotates. Under the action of the return spring 214, when the baffle 216 rotates out of the liquid outlet groove 123, the second rotating disk 215 sinks, so that the baffle 216 smoothly disengages from the liquid outlet groove 123. At this time, the excess culture medium inside the placement vessel 121 falls into the interior of the drainage tray 221 through the first rotating disk 211 and the second rotating disk 215 and is discharged through the drainage pipe 222. After being drained clean, the baffle 216 and the liquid outlet groove 123 are restored to their initial positions, and then the culture medium to be replaced is injected into the interior of the placement vessel 121 through the liquid injection valve 53. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 324 is started again to make the new culture medium interact and mix with the culture medium inside the culture vessel 411, and the bladder cancer tumor cells are always inside the telescopic filter plate 422 under the isolation of the telescopic filter plate 422. After the culture is completed,The culture solution is drained until clean by the drive of the hydraulic cylinder 324, and then the culture vessel 411 is taken out, and subsequent operations are performed on the bladder cancer tumor cells in the culture vessel 411.

9. A culture method using the bladder cancer tumor cell organoid culture device according to claim 8, characterized in that, It includes the following operation methods: S1: Place the culture vessel on the top of the sealing box. At this time, the knob groove at the bottom of the piston is inserted by the knob block. By rotating the culture vessel, the piston is driven to rotate, so that one end of the knob block is inserted into the groove on the inner wall side of the knob groove, thereby limiting the placement of the culture vessel. S2: Put the extracted and separated bladder cancer tumor cells into the culture vessel and place them on the surface of the piston. Then press and install the auxiliary cover plate on the top of the culture vessel. At this time, the bottom of the telescopic filter plate contacts the surface of the piston, so that the telescopic filter plate wraps and isolates the bladder cancer tumor cells, and connects the sealing cover plate to the placement vessel by pressing to seal the placement vessel. S3: When culturing, inject the configured concentration of culture medium into the placement vessel through the liquid injection valve for storage. At this time, the baffle of the second rotating disk blocks the liquid outlet groove of the annular partition to prevent the culture medium from draining. By starting the hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic cylinder drives the gripper rod to expand and contract. Under the limit of the arc groove on the surface of the chassis, the rubber sheet and the mounting plate are forced to rotate and lift at the same time. Since the top of the auxiliary cover plate contacts the bottom of the sealing cover plate, the piston is forced to perform a rotary lifting movement through the movement of the sealing box, so that the culture medium in the placement vessel enters the culture vessel through the liquid delivery pipe, soaks the bladder cancer tumor cells, and thus cultures the bladder cancer tumor cells. S4: When it is necessary to replace the culture medium after a period of time or by observing the culture medium through the observation port, start the rotary motor, so that the rotary motor drives the gear and the first rotating disk to rotate, thereby driving the second rotating disk to rotate. Under the action of the return spring, when the baffle rotates out of the liquid outlet groove, the second rotating disk sinks, so that the baffle smoothly disengages from the liquid outlet groove. At this time, the excess culture medium in the placement vessel falls into the drainage tray through the first rotating disk and the second rotating disk and is discharged through the drainage pipe. After being drained clean, the baffle returns to the initial position with the liquid outlet groove, and then inject the culture medium to be replaced into the placement vessel through the liquid injection valve. At this time, start the hydraulic cylinder again to interact and mix the new culture medium with the culture medium in the culture vessel. S5: After the cultivation is completed, the culture solution is drained clean by the drive of the hydraulic cylinder, and then the culture vessel is taken out, and subsequent operations are performed on the bladder cancer tumor cells in the culture vessel.
