Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrotransfection, in particular to an intermittent flow type electrotransfection device, which is capable of inhibiting bubbles generated by electrotransfection in a mode of electrode moving and pressurizing.
Background
The cell membrane is a membrane surrounding the periphery of the cell and is a permeable barrier for selective substance exchange between the cell and the outside. The cell membrane makes the cell an independent unit of life and has a relatively stable internal environment. Some substances in the surrounding environment may pass through the cell membrane while others may not. Cells can take up nutrients from the surrounding environment through the cell membrane and discharge metabolites, so that the transport of substances reaches an equilibrium state. The basic function of the cell membrane is therefore to maintain a relatively stable intracellular microenvironment and to selectively exchange substances with the external environment.
It has been found that if a certain intensity of electrical stimulation is applied to cells for a certain period of time, some micropores are induced in the cell membrane, so that the permeability of the cells is enhanced, and that cell Electroporation (electric corporation) refers to the biophysical process of forming transient micropores in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane under the action of an applied pulsed electric field. Electrotransfection (Electrotransfection) is a technique that uses electroporation to introduce exogenous biological macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA, or proteins, into cells. When the cell membrane is electroporated, its permeability and membrane conductance are transiently increased, allowing molecules that normally cannot pass through the cell membrane, such as hydrophilic molecules, DNA, proteins, viral particles, drug particles, etc., to enter the cell through the microwells. After the electrical stimulation is removed in a short period of time, the micropores on the cell membrane disappear and the cell membrane becomes a selectively permeable barrier again. Compared with the traditional chemical transfection and virus transfection, the electrotransfection has the advantages of no chemical pollution, no permanent damage to cells, higher efficiency and the like, and has wide application prospect in the fields of biology, molecular biology, clinical medicine and the like.
Although the mechanism of electrotransfection is not entirely clear, cell electrotransfection is well known herein, including movement of the membrane lipid bilayer, resulting in the formation of temporary micropores in the membrane, allowing exogenous molecules to enter the cell through the micropores.
In the prior art, there are three main types of methods for completing the cell electrotransfection process:
cells are placed between a pair of parallel electrodes spaced apart by a few millimeters to a few centimeters. The cells are electrically stimulated in the electric field between the electrodes to achieve the purpose of electrotransfection. For example, US patent US5389069.
The miniature needle-shaped electrode is used for being pricked into tissue or cell fluid to perform electric shock on cells, so that the purpose of electric transfection is achieved. For example, US patent US5389069.
A chamber is placed between a pair of parallel electrodes such that a suspension of cells is shocked while flowing in the chamber. For example, US patent US6773669.

The flow type electrotransfection system utilizes the fluid channel and the connected injection pump to realize continuous flow of various suspensions in the fluid channel, so that the process of cell electrotransfection can be continuously carried out, and a large amount of samples can be rapidly processed.
Chinese patent CN201610806987 discloses a disposable for electrotransfection of cells comprising: a fluid compartment inside the disposable; a first fluid port for providing a cell suspension to the fluid compartment; and a second fluid port for delivering a fluid comprising at least one compound to be electrotransfected into the cell to the fluid compartment; a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in the fluid compartment; at least one outlet port delivering the fluid from the fluid compartment, wherein the first and second fluid ports are in fluid communication with a mixing channel in fluid communication with the fluid compartment.
However, the flow type electrotransfection device disclosed above can generate a large amount of bubbles in the actual electrotransfection process, and the generated bubbles adhere to the electrode plates to influence the uniformity of the electric field, so that the electrotransfection effect is unstable.

After the electrotransfection is finished, the sample outlet one-way valve and the ventilation valve are opened, the air pump is used for filling the air with the volume equal to that of the cavity body through the ventilation pipe, and the target liquid sample is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe. The transfected cell suspension was placed in a centrifuge tube, 1000 rpm, and centrifuged for 5 minutes. Removing supernatant, adding OptiCHO culture medium to resuspend cells, inoculating and culturing in triangular conical flask with culture density of 2×10 6 And/ml, then placing on a shaking table for culture, wherein the rotation speed of the shaking table is 125rpm/min, and the culture conditions are as follows: the temperature was 37℃and the carbon dioxide concentration was 5%. After 24 hours, the cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope and examined for electrotransfection efficiency and cell viability using a flow cytometer.
And (3) observation of experimental results:
in experiment five, it can be clearly observed that a small amount of bubbles appear in the cavity after the pulse, while in experiment six the cavity is still full of liquid and no bubbles are generated.
After 24 hours, the experimental five-cell transfection efficiency is detected to be 61% -63%, and the cell survival rate is detected to be 70% -81%; six cells were tested with a transfection efficiency of 83-% > 87% and a cell viability of 81% -84%.
In summary, the pressurizing cavity provided by the invention can improve the electrotransfection efficiency and has obvious effect of reducing the generation of bubbles.
