Description
An optimization method and system for adherent cell culture based on optogenetics Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated and intelligent control of cell culture, specifically to an optogenetic-based method and system for optimizing adherent cell culture, which is suitable for the precise culture, regulation, and parameter optimization of light-sensitive adherent cells, providing high-quality cell materials for biomedical research. Background Technology
[0002] Cell culture is one of the core supporting technologies for life science research and clinical medical development. Among them, adherent culture has become one of the most widely used methods in basic research and drug screening due to its simplicity, low cost, and ability to maintain cell function well. A typical photosensitive adherent cell culture process involves steps such as cell isolation and primary culture, transfection of photosensitive proteins, photostimulation activation, and functional detection.
[0003] However, existing adherent culture methods heavily rely on operator experience and have inherent defects in the following three key aspects, leading to low culture efficiency and unstable cell quality: 1. Insufficient precision of light stimulation: Existing light sources are mostly general-purpose, unable to achieve coordinated customization of "wavelength, driving voltage, driving current, luminescence mode, and temperature," making it difficult to adapt to the specific needs of different photosensitive adherent cells. This easily leads to insufficient or excessive activation of photosensitive proteins (such as CHR2), causing cell stress or functional damage; 2. Poor targeting: The lack of a specific photosensitive protein delivery system for adherent cells makes it impossible to accurately target and implant photosensitive proteins into target adherent cells, resulting in low light stimulation efficiency, numerous non-specific reactions, and poor consistency due to reliance on manual operation for positive cell screening; 3. Disconnect between monitoring and optimization: Only basic indicators such as cell viability and adhesion rate are monitored, without in-depth monitoring of cell electrophysiological signals (such as impedance and action potential), and there is a lack of a closed-loop optimization mechanism of "light stimulation parameters - cell response," making it impossible to dynamically adjust culture strategies. Relying on manual experience to adjust parameters leads to large batch-to-batch variations.
[0004] Furthermore, the correlation between light stimulation parameters and cell state is unclear during the transition from culture to subsequent functional assays, making it difficult to predict the impact of light stimulation on cell function and interfering with downstream experiments (such as patch-clamp recording). In summary, existing adherent culture methods suffer from low precision and poor targeting of light stimulation, as well as a lack of closed-loop optimization, making it difficult to stably and efficiently obtain high-quality, functionally complete, and consistently active light-sensitive adherent cells. This has become a major technical bottleneck for downstream applications such as optogenetics research. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optimization method and system for adherent cell culture based on optogenetics, in order to solve the core problems in existing adherent cell culture technology, such as low precision of light stimulation, poor targeting, single monitoring dimensions, and lack of closed-loop optimization, which lead to low cell quality, large batch-to-batch differences, and difficulty in adapting to the needs of optogenetic research. This invention aims to achieve standardization, intelligence, and precision in adherent cell culture.

Step S2: Based on the cell type and culture target data from Step S1, targeted pretreatment is performed on adherent cells. Step S3: Based on the data from Step S1 and the positive cell characteristics from Step S2, physiological tolerance boundaries of the light source parameters are set, and a light stimulation scheme is generated using an algorithm. Step S4: The light source is activated to precisely stimulate the adherent cells while simultaneously maintaining environmental stability, and the stability of the light source parameters is ensured by circuitry. Step S5: While Step S4 is in progress, the basal state of the cells is monitored, and electrophysiological parameters are collected using electrodes. The data is then integrated. Step S6: The detection data obtained in Step S5 is compared with the standard parameters for normal adherent cells in the database, and the impact of the stimulation scheme on the cells is determined using cell biology theory to identify state deviations. Step S7: The detection data from Step S5 is categorized and stored in the joint database. The detection data is compared with the optimal data to identify state deviations and their causes, and the stimulation model is updated using an algorithm. Step S8: The trained "Light Source Parameter-" database is used to further refine the data.

[0032] Step S7: Model updates and strategy iterations are achieved through a closed-loop feedback unit, forming a closed-loop optimization. Referring to Figure 4, this specifically includes the following steps: Step S71: The detection data from Step S5 are categorized into "basic parameters - electrophysiological parameters - light stimulation parameters" and stored in the adherent cell-opgenetic parameter joint database; Step S72: The detection data is compared with historical data and culture targets using the deviation formula. Identify the state deviation and its causes (such as low adhesion rate due to temperature and humidity fluctuations); Step S73: Use the detection data to adjust the regression coefficients of the prediction model and the weights of the multi-parameter optimization algorithm through the incremental update formula to optimize model performance. The process of training and updating the prediction model can be seen in Figure 5. The incremental update formula is: In the formula, , These are the regression coefficients before and after the update, respectively. For learning rate, This is the actual detection value.
