In order to ensure follow-up add other reagent time, reagent can rely on action of gravity flow into raceway groove, can at least 1 hour be left standstill after the present embodiment adds PBS, make hydrophilicity in micro-raceway groove good.
Sub-step S402c: by the whole sucking-off of PBS in cell entry, two droplet inlet;
Sub-step S402d: move liquid passage with two in multiple tracks liquid-transfering gun and draw the solution that 120 μ l contain decorating molecule respectively simultaneously, aim at two droplet inlet respectively, get solution, makes solution rely on action of gravity to flow into micro-raceway groove; Experimentally need, leave standstill for some time, make the decorating molecule in solution fall to micro-trench floor, form decorative layer.
Sub-step S402e: recycle the method that above-mentioned sub-step S402c ~ S402d is same, is replaced by DMEM, hold over night by modifying solution in micro-raceway groove, so that the inoculation of later stage VSMC.
Step S404: carry out VSMC inoculation on sheet in micro-raceway groove of micro-fluidic chip;
By attached cell suspension adjustment concentration to 5 × 10 6individual/ml, the DMEM of sucking-off cell entry and two droplet inlet, with two liquid-transfering guns-common liquid-transfering gun in cell entry side, droplet inlet side multiple tracks liquid-transfering gun, draws VSMC suspension, droplet inlet side 25 μ l respectively, cell entry side 30 μ l, inject VSMC suspension simultaneously, leave standstill 5min, until each entrance level balance.After balance, chip is put in density and the situation such as degree of uniformity of the inoculation of basis of microscopic observation record.
Step S406: carry out VSMC on sheet and cultivate and synchronization process in micro-raceway groove of micro-fluidic chip;
In the present embodiment, at interval of 24 hours, just use the DMEM at liquid-transfering gun sucking-off cell entry and each droplet inlet place, and with liquid-transfering gun at each entrance-cell entry and two droplet inlet, instill the fresh DMEM of 60 μ l simultaneously, for VSMC provides necessary nutritive substance.The object simultaneously adding identical liquid measure DMEM is that elimination micro-raceway groove two ends liquid level is poor, and ensure do not have liquid-flow in micro-raceway groove, namely VSMC can not be affected growth by hydrodynamic shear effect.
Be cultured to after being full of individual layer VSMC in micro-raceway groove, cell state schematic diagram is shown in Fig. 6 shown in subgraph A, and micro-image to be shown in Fig. 6 shown in subgraph B.After cell covers with micro-raceway groove, use serum-free DMEM instead and cultivate 24 hours to VSMC synchronization process.
Step S408: carry out VSMC cut on sheet and make in micro-raceway groove of micro-fluidic chip;
On this sheet, the method for VSMC cut migration is identical with the associated viscera of a upper embodiment, specifically comprises:
Sub-step S408a: adopt perfect medium DMEM to carry out VSMC on sheet in micro-raceway groove of micro-fluidic chip and cultivate;
Containing Dole uncle section improvement Yi Geer substratum (Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium is called for short DMEM) 90% in this perfect medium, containing foetal calf serum 10%, hereinafter by perfect medium referred to as DMEM.
Sub-step S408b: the solution of cell entry and two droplet inlet is all exhausted with liquid-transfering gun;
Sub-step S408c: move liquid passage with two in multiple tracks liquid-transfering gun and draw 120 μ l DMEM solution and 120 μ l trypsin Trypsin respectively simultaneously) solution, aim at two droplet inlet of micro-fluidic chip, also inject two kinds of solution respectively simultaneously, wherein, first droplet inlet injects DMEM solution, and the second droplet inlet injects Trypsin solution;
Wherein, inject the temperature that DMEM and the Trypsin demand fulfillment of two droplet inlet of micro-fluidic chip is certain, this will take out fresh DMEM and 0.25% trypsin Trypsin with regard to needs from refrigerator) adopt water-bath to carry out preheating.
In the present embodiment, attached cell is VSMC, and therefore, what inject two droplet inlet is DMEM and Trypsin solution, and for other attached cell, that injects droplet inlet should be other cells perfect medium used and Trypsin solution.
Step S408d: leave standstill and wait for 2min;
Wherein, the time left standstill can according to factor settings such as micro-channel dimensions and flow rate of liquid.In the present embodiment, in view of micro-raceway groove mentioned above, this time of repose is generally no more than 5min.
Step S408e, in order from cell entry, the second droplet inlet, the first droplet inlet exhaustion solution, thus forms cut on the diapire of the micro-raceway groove of micro-fluidic chip.
The schematic diagram of the cut adopting the present embodiment method to make is as shown in subgraph A in Fig. 7, and microscope figure is as shown in subgraph B in Fig. 7.Visible, adopt the present embodiment method to define cut well.
Step S410: one of them adds the DMEM containing the cell migration factor arbitrarily at cell entry and two droplet inlet, then micro-fluidic chip is put back to incubator.
Empirically need, the state (subgraph C in Fig. 7 is shown in by schematic diagram, and microgram is shown in subgraph D in Fig. 7) of Taking Pictures recording cell migration.
Due to the record of cell migration result, use microscope Taking Pictures recording.So experimenter can in office imaginary observe migration timing node, chip is taken out from incubator and carries out observation of taking pictures.Further, for recorded experimental result, analyzing and processing can also be carried out by any methods such as traditional method image procossing used.
Step S412, the VSMC on sheet that carries out in micro-raceway groove of micro-fluidic chip dyes, to characterize migrating cell and non-migrating cell.
On this sheet, VSMS dyeing is specially: after cut 24 hours, the VSMC in micro-raceway groove is carried out to the cellular immunization dyeing of alpha Actinin (α-actin), to characterize migrating cell and non-migrating cell.
α-actin is the differential protein differentiating smooth muscle cell, and in the smooth muscle cell being in synthesis type, expression amount is higher than the smooth muscle cell of shrinkage type.And the smooth muscle cell moved synthesis type cell just, the smooth muscle cell do not moved is shrinkage type cell.So α-actin dyeing can be used for characterizing migration and the cell do not moved, and its staining procedure and parameter comprise:
Dyeing sub-step S410a:4% paraformaldehyde fixes 15min;
