Description

Hardness-adjustable hydrogel organoid ball containing matrigel, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organoids, and particularly relates to a hydrogel organoid ball with adjustable hardness containing matrigel, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Organoids are a three-dimensional cell culture system that mimics part of the structural and functional characteristics of a human or animal organ. Compared with the traditional two-dimensional cell culture or non-primate animal model, the organoid culture system overcomes many limitations of standard single-layer cancer cell culture, so that the organ-level biological model can be studied in vitro, and the culture is closer to the actual physiological environment of a human body. Importantly, organoid culture, especially tumor organoid culture, reproduces the morphology and biological properties of tumors, providing a valuable new tool for cancer research, drug development and precise medicine.
In the classical organoid technology, cells for culturing organoids are mixed with matrigel at low temperature, inoculated into a cell culture plate, placed in a culture environment at 37 ℃ and subjected to gelation reaction through temperature sensitivity of the matrigel, and the cells are embedded into the matrigel, so that the matrigel provides a three-dimensional culture environment for the cells. The biggest problem of the technology is that the large-scale preparation of organoids is difficult to realize due to the culture of the cell culture plates, and the requirement of high-throughput screening of medicines cannot be met.
For this reason, researchers have introduced microfluidic technology into organoid sphere culture, CN110004111a discloses a method for preparing organoid spheres, which comprises maintaining matrigel sol state under low temperature (4 ℃) condition, taking matrigel in sol state as water phase, forming water-in-oil droplet by means of pipeline microfluidic, transferring droplet pipeline to 37 ℃ until matrigel droplet is solidified into gel sphere, thus preparing organoid sphere with uniform shape and size and large scale.
However, there are some problems in practical application of this technology:
① The matrigel is a temperature sensitive hydrogel, but the conversion from sol to gel is relatively long, and the gel state can be formed after the temperature is increased to 37 ℃ for at least 30 minutes. Therefore, after the microfluidic technology forms monodisperse water-in-oil droplets in a low temperature environment, the droplets need to be converted to a 37 ℃ environment, and the monodisperse state of the water-in-oil droplets needs to be maintained in the pipeline for at least 30 minutes, and the substrate gel can not leave the micro-channel pipeline to enter the collecting area until the substrate gel forms gel. Which would otherwise cause the aqueous phase to agglomerate into large particles. This results in a longer line for the formation of monodisperse droplets in a 37 ℃ environment, which does not affect the flow rate of the original line, but ensures a sufficiently long time to complete the gelation reaction of the matrigel.
② While the matrigel provides a three-dimensional culture environment for cells, and the matrigel contains more than 1000 protein components and provides a lot of nutrient substances for cell proliferation and differentiation, the matrigel has very low hardness (usually 20-450 Pa) which is far lower than that of normal soft tissue organs or tumor tissues (100 Pa-500 kPa) of a human body.
