Detect by the following method:
Before cell is loaded into DFP-ITO electrode, with 70% ethanol, measurement little Chi 5 is sterilized 5min, measure little Chi by sterilizing washed with de-ionized water subsequently 5 twice; By 200 μ l A549 cell suspensions with concentration 2.5 × 10 5cells/ml is loaded in the measurement little Chi 5 containing DFP-ITO electrode, be placed in super-clean bench and under room temperature condition, after static 30min, make cell uniform settling to electrode hole 3 surface, put into 37 DEG C subsequently, cultivate in 5% carbon dioxide cell incubator, DFP-ITO electrode is taken out to be placed on inverted fluorescence microscope objective table respectively after 2h, 24h, 48 and carry out morphological observation and Image Acquisition.Result as shown in Figure 7, A549 cell is seeded in morphology displaing micro picture when 2h, 24h and 48h in ITO electrode, display A549 cell uniform spreading in ITO electrode, sprawl (2h), propagation (24h) and the cell monolayer that can be observed cell by microscope form (48h).This structure illustrates that ITO adheres to and propagation as electrode material suitable cell, and its good light transmission is convenient to obtain cytomorphology data.
On DFP-ITO electrode, A549 cell impedance information is measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ElectrochemicalImpedance Spectroscopy, EIS) technology.When A549 cell is when DFP-ITO electrode surface adheres to and breed, cell causes system impedance to be composed as the electricity original paper with frequency dependence changing, therefore detect by impedance spectrum technology the adhesion of cell on DFP-ITO electrode, propagation behavior and resolve.Electrochemical impedance spectrometry have employed CS315 electrochemical workstation (Wuhan Koster Instrument Ltd.), electrochemical impedance spectral measurement system adopts three-electrode system, to be vaccinated with the DFP-ITO electrode of cell as working electrode, by Ag/AgCl silk contrast electrode (diameter: 0.5mm, length: 10mm) and platinum filament insert to measure in little Chi to electrode (diameter: 1.0mm, length: 10mm) and carry out electrochemical impedance spectrometry.Measuring using 0.01M PBS as supporting electrolyte solution, take amplitude as 10mV sine wave is pumping signal, and range of scanned frequencies is 1-10 5hz, impedance spectrum measurement data ZView 2.0 software is analyzed.Result is as shown in 8 (a), and A549 cell is seeded in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy complex plane figure corresponding to 0h, 2h, 24h, 48h on DFP-ITO electrode, and the propagation of visible A549 cell in ITO electrode causes system impedance spectrum HFS to change.The HFS that clearer display A549 cell proliferation causes system impedance to be composed in complex plane figure expanded scale (expanded scales) forms semicircle, and along with the increase of cell proliferation HFS half circular diameter.This result illustrates that on electrode interface, cell proliferation causes ionic charge transfer process speed on electrode interface to slow down, and its reason is relevant with cytoplasma membrane capacitive characteristics.In addition, at low frequency region, the propagation of A549 cell does not produce significant change to system impedance spectrum, its reason is that cell is typical insulator at its electrology characteristic of low frequency part, the gas current of electrode and electrolyte solution carries out shifting mainly through space between cells and not through cell, therefore the low frequency region of impedance spectrum can not reflect that cell behavior changes.
For analyzing the capacitive reactance characteristic of different phase A549 cell on DFP-ITO electrode further, present invention employs document [Karimullah A S, Cumming D R S, Riehle M, etal Development of aconducting polymer cell impedance sensor [J] .Sensors and Actuators B:Chemical, 2013, 176:667-674] the cell equivalent-circuit model reported, as shown in Fig. 8 (b), cell equivalent electrical circuit is composed in series by a RC parallel circuit and a R element, wherein, R's theoretical explanation is the gas resistance of cell-electrode, R cellbe interpreted as cell-ECM resistance, C cellbe interpreted as the capacity effect of cytoplasma membrane.By curve fitting technique system impedance composed semi-circular portions and cell equivalent-circuit model carries out matching, A549 cell Different growth phases equivalent-circuit component value is as shown in Fig. 8 (c).As can be known from the results, along with the adhesion of A549 cell at ITO electrode interface and propagation, C cellvalue slowly increases, and R cellvalue and R's value increase gradually.C after formation cell monolayer cellvalue is about 2.8nF, R cellvalue is about 754 Ω, is about 216 Ω.Meanwhile, when A549 cell is from (2h) after adherent to being formed between cell monolayer (48h), R cellthe gap that value continues to increase between explanation cell-ECM reduces gradually, and Fusion of Cells degree increases; R's value continues to increase, and points out cell-ITO electrode spacing to reduce, cell adherence strength-enhanced.On the contrary, C cellbe worth the propagation of A549 cell insensitive to the morphological change forming cell monolayer.In addition, carefully analyze the present embodiment data also to find to change less from each component value between cell inoculation (0h) to cell attachment (2h), illustrate that native system is not enough for the cell behaviors detection sensitivity of this process, its reason is that native system uses ITO electrode area (0.785mm 2) comparatively large, A549 cell is not enough to the impedance spectrum of change system in ITO electrode surface adhesion.Therefore, detection electric cell-substrate impedance sensor detection sensitivity can be improved further by electrode modification under the prerequisite not affecting electrode light transmission.
From above interpretation of result, the electric cell-substrate impedance sensor built based on DFP-ITO electrode can coupling optical micro-imaging technique and electrochemical impedance spectral technology, detects while realizing cytomorphology and impedance information.The cytomorphology data that same electrode obtains and impedance information complement one another, verify, improve the comprehensive and accuracy that cellular informatics detects.
Therefore, DFP-ITO electrode of the present invention, adopts photosensitive dry film to reduce ITO electrode difficulty of processing, cost and time as insulation course, and photosensitive dry film surface suitable cell adherence, cell growth and without obvious cellulotoxic side effect; Electric cell-substrate impedance sensor of the present invention is using ITO as electrode, structure is simple, be easy to processing, can be observed the morphologic information of cell on electrode by optical microscope, utilize electrochemical impedance spectral technology and cell Equivalent Circuit Fitting can detect adhesion and the breeding middle impedance information of cell on DFP-ITO electrode; Namely the electric cell-substrate impedance sensor based on DFP-ITO electrode of the present invention can obtain cytomorphology and impedance characteristic value simultaneously, can in common lab popularization and for research fields such as the behavior of cell physiological pathology, drug screenings.
What finally illustrate is, above embodiment is only in order to illustrate technical scheme of the present invention and unrestricted, although with reference to preferred embodiment to invention has been detailed description, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that, can modify to technical scheme of the present invention or equivalent replacement, and not departing from aim and the scope of technical solution of the present invention, it all should be encompassed in the middle of right of the present invention.
