Description

Organ chip for constructing malignant tumor bone metastasis ecological niche, organ chip and application
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of microfluidics, in particular to an organ chip, an organ chip and application for constructing a malignant tumor bone metastasis ecological niche based on a microfluidic technology.
Background
Cancer is still one of the leading causes of human death worldwide, with about one-sixth of the deaths being caused by cancer. Reconstructing a realistic model of a microtumor niche has long been a great challenge facing the scientific community. Internal heterogeneity (i.e., cancer cells, mesenchymal cells, immune cells, vascular cells), other compounds (cytokines and growth factors) and the three-dimensionality of the tumor affect our understanding of the tumor niche and prevent our related replication in vitro.
Currently, less than 10% of clinically tested anticancer drugs are on the market, and most anticancer drugs end up failing in the final stage of clinical development, even though they have achieved positive results in preclinical trials. These facts indicate that the current model is unable to reproduce the tumor niche in vivo. They lack the necessary features required to mimic the complex cellular environment in vivo, such as cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions (differentiation, proliferation, morphology, gene expression, and other functions). On the one hand, organoids are highly variable in shape and size, and captured cells are difficult to quantify and visualize using microscopic techniques. On the other hand, the model lacks the signals and fluids that are commonly contacted in human tissue cells. The organ model on the microfluidic chip can better simulate the microstructure, dynamic mechanical property and biochemical function of the whole living organ and solid tumor, and can continuously provide nutrient substances and pharmaceutical compounds for the whole living organ and solid tumor, and the chip organ equipment currently used for the microfluidic chip covers a plurality of branches in the cancer field. Besides simulating tumor microenvironment and its characteristic region, it also reproduces tumor cell migration and invasion, metastasis model, vascularization and extravasation, tumor microenvironment reconstruction, immunooncology study, drug screening, etc.
The inventors have found in research that bone metastasis has become a persistent clinical problem, a significant cause of death in thousands of cancer patients. At present, most of anti-tumor bone metastasis treatments are palliative or supportive treatments, and only can delay the progress of the treatments, and radical measures are not yet available. Therefore, research on the generation mechanism of bone metastasis of lung cancer is important, wherein the bone microenvironment of metastasis is a research hot spot and difficulty, and may be a key breakthrough point for searching a method for effectively inhibiting and treating bone metastasis.

Detailed Description
The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in clinic, has a tendency to increase with years, has become one of the main causes of death of cancer, and is the most common in non-small cell lung cancer, with a survival rate of about 15% in 5 years. With the wide development of therapeutic intervention means of lung cancer including targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the overall life cycle of patients is prolonged, and the life quality is improved. However, advanced lung cancer is susceptible to metastasis, and it is counted that 30% -40% of lung cancer patients undergo bone metastasis. Bone metastasis of lung cancer is frequently seen as osteolytic, often accompanied by bone related events (skeletal related events, SRES) such as pain, hypercalcemia, pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, and even paraplegia, cancer cachexia. Bone metastasis has become a persistent clinical problem, a significant cause of death in thousands of cancer patients. At present, most of anti-tumor bone metastasis treatments are palliative or supportive treatments, and only can delay the progress of the treatments, and radical measures are not yet available. Therefore, research on the generation mechanism of bone metastasis of lung cancer is important, wherein the bone microenvironment of metastasis is a research hot spot and difficulty, and may be a key breakthrough point for searching a method for effectively inhibiting and treating bone metastasis.
Paget's "seed and soil" is one of the mainstream theories of tumor metastasis, and the microenvironment of the metastatic sites has an important impact on the success of tumor metastasis. Pre-metastatic niches (PMNs) refer to primary tumors that release tumor secretion factors and microvesicles to recruit bone marrow-derived cells in secondary organs to create a microenvironment suitable for tumor metastasis growth proliferation, providing a Pre-stage preparation for metastasis of primary foci. PMN formation indicates targeting of tumor metastasis and provides fertile "soil" for pre-transferred "seeds". The establishment of a strategy for preventing metastasis and early diagnosis and early treatment is a primary task for improving prognosis of lung cancer patients, so that the proposal of PMN is beneficial to early prevention and treatment of tumor metastasis. With the deep research on PMN formation, the mechanism of tumor metastasis is elucidated to a greater extent, and more effective clinical treatment means are formulated, so that the method has important significance in reducing the metastasis rate and the death rate of tumor patients and improving the prognosis of the tumor patients. The current research on the mechanism of tumor bone metastasis PMN is mainly focused on the promotion of PMN formation by vesicles or factors secreted by tumor cells, and is an exploration of the upstream cause of PMN formation, and the research on the mechanism of PMN formation is not yet traced back from downstream factors (such as the microenvironment of the target metastasis site).
Abnormal metabolism is an important marker of tumor metastasis. During the course of tumor metastasis, specific metabolic pathways are re-edited to support their transition through the metastatic cascade, thereby forming secondary tumors in distant organs. And in bone PMN formation, the particular microenvironment of the bone plays an important role. Physical factors in the bone marrow microenvironment such as hypoxia, acidic pH and high calcium ion concentration environments all promote tumor cell proliferation. The red bone marrow area has high blood flow, which is beneficial to the metastasis and growth of tumor cells. Bones act as important endocrine organs and regulate the general state. Bone microenvironment metabolism includes bone metabolism, namely continuous and circulating interaction of osteoblasts and osteoclasts to maintain dynamic balance of osteolysis and osteogenesis, and various factors released in the process are beneficial to the field planting and proliferation of tumor cells; on the other hand, the metabolism of stromal cells such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes, immune cells and the like can promote bone metastasis of tumor cells, and the two together determine the final stage of bone metastasis. The interaction between the factors secreted by tumor cells and the specific bone microenvironment allows for adaptive changes in both metabolism to support tumor bone metastasis progression. The metabolites produced by cellular metabolism are downstream products of PMN formation and can be further explored by metabonomics.
The current study of PMNs is still in an early stage, and its key reason is: the detection means of PMNs are limited. PET-CT imaging is not sensitive to tumor diagnosis of less than 1cm in diameter, and early detection of PMNs prior to radiological evidence metastasis remains a challenge; imaging techniques with higher resolution and capable of detecting structural changes (e.g., tissue density) in PMNs are being developed for use in the lack of clinical blood molecular markers; the research means is lacking, the microenvironment with complex tumor bone metastasis is difficult to reproduce in vitro, and the difference between the in vitro 2D culture effect and the real in vivo situation is too large; the animal body cannot be observed in real time, is expensive, has ethical problems and the like, so that a proper in vitro model is necessary for the study of the PMN formation mechanism. Organ-chip, also called micro-physiological system (Microphysiological system, MPS), simulates in vivo environment and organ function by culturing human cells in an in vitro chip, reconstructing the microstructure functional units of specific human organs and tissue-tissue interfaces, and giving dynamic mechanical and biochemical stimuli. For the above application scenario, my applicant invented an organ chip for constructing a malignant tumor bone metastasis ecological niche, and it should be noted that the organ chip is not only aimed at bone metastasis of lung cancer, please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the organ chip for constructing a malignant tumor bone metastasis ecological niche according to the present application. It includes tumor dormancy niche, perivascular niche and vicious circle niche, wherein:
the tumor dormancy ecological niche is used for wrapping bone resident cells and tumor cells;
the perivascular niche adopts an H-shaped vascular endothelial cell implantation channel for simulating a vascular system and the perivascular niche,
the malignant circulation niche is used for wrapping osteoclast and tumor cells in hydrogel injected into a chip culture cavity,
the H-shaped design comprises a micro-channel, a cell differentiation chamber for adjusting bone environment, and a chip culture cavity located in a malignant circulation ecological niche, wherein the micro-channel at least comprises a first micro-channel, a second micro-channel, a third micro-channel and a liquid outlet micro-channel, the first micro-channel, the second micro-channel, the third micro-channel and the liquid outlet micro-channel are sequentially communicated, a circulating tumor culture medium is used as a circulating culture medium in a channel, the tumor dormancy ecological bit stream flows to the ecological niche around a blood vessel from the tumor dormancy ecological bit stream, and the liquid outlet micro-channel is connected after the first micro-channel is communicated with the cell differentiation chamber and is communicated with the chip culture cavity through the third micro-channel.
The tumor dormancy niche photo-crosslinked methacrylic acid gelatin (GelMA) is used as a three-dimensional culture hydrogel, and wraps bone resident cells and tumor cells under blue light irradiation. The resting niche was reproduced using a Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) implanted 3d printed Hydroxyapatite (HAP) chip scaffold. 3D printing technology is an effective way to construct tissue biological scaffolds. Compared with other 3D culture models, the three-dimensional culture model can accurately arrange cells and extracellular matrixes, control local tissue microenvironment, further construct in-vivo tissue-like forms and mechanical environments, and simulate in-vivo cell-cell interaction and cell-extracellular matrix interaction. In addition, the porosity inside the stent can be precisely controlled by blending materials and cells in advance and regularly arranging the materials and the cells after extrusion, so that oxygen and nutrient substance transmission and metabolic waste exchange are facilitated, and the survival of cells inside the stent is further maintained. In recent years, the construction of a 3D biological printing active scaffold with biological hydrogel loaded stem cells as printing ink has high potential in the tissue regeneration and repair directions. It mainly comprises three organic components: functional cells, biological scaffold material, and loaded bioactive components. Wherein the choice of the biological scaffold material and its supported bioactive components is the core of the technology. The micro-tissue construction can be better realized by means of a high-precision processing technology special for a 3D biological printing technology, so that microscopic components and structures of the tissue can be better simulated. In this example, a Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) implanted 3d printed Hydroxyapatite (HAP) chip scaffold was used to reproduce the resting niche using the techniques described above.
The most important technical innovation of the application is as follows: the cell differentiation chamber is used for culturing the hydrogel chamber, and the chip culture chamber is used for inducing the formation of a tumor dormancy microenvironment. The H-shaped design comprises the following steps: the method comprises a micro-channel, a cell differentiation chamber for regulating bone environment, and a chip culture cavity located in a malignant circulation ecological niche, wherein the micro-channel at least comprises a first micro-channel, a second micro-channel, a third micro-channel and a liquid outlet micro-channel, the first micro-channel, the second micro-channel, the third micro-channel and the liquid outlet micro-channel are sequentially communicated, a circulating tumor culture medium is used as a circulating culture medium in a channel, the tumor dormancy ecological bit stream is sent to the ecological niche around a blood vessel from the tumor dormancy ecological bit stream, and the liquid outlet micro-channel is communicated with the cell differentiation chamber by the first micro-channel and the chip culture cavity through the third micro-channel. In the malignant circulation niche (namely a chip culture cavity), osteoclast and tumor cells are wrapped in hydrogel injected into the chip cavity, and a tumor dormancy microenvironment is formed by induction. The ring tumor medium (CM) served as a circulating medium in the channel, connecting the primary tumor and bone metastases.
The cell differentiation chamber/chip culture chamber is surrounded by a plurality of triangular columns to form a chamber, a circulation space is arranged between the triangular columns, the triangular columns and the triangular columns are used for separating micro-channels from the cell differentiation chamber/chip culture chamber, and circulating culture medium can flow into the chamber conveniently through the circulation space and surface tension is generated in space to effectively prevent the circulating culture medium from flowing out of the chamber. The triangular prism is columnar, the cylindrical surface of one corner is facing the outside of the chamber, the other two corners are arranged towards the inside direction of the chamber, and the circulating culture medium circulates towards the inside of the chamber along the cylindrical surface directions of the other two corners. The triangular column is designed to separate the channel and the chamber, generate surface tension, and effectively prevent the outflow of hydrogel solution, similar to the functional design of a one-way valve. The independence of the hydrogel is cultivated in the cell differentiation chamber, A549 tumor cells are filled into GelMA hydrogel, and the bone seed HAP bracket is combined to induce the tumor dormancy microenvironment.
The side of the cell differentiation chamber corresponding to the first micro flow channel is also provided with a non-circulating micro flow channel, and the arrangement is mainly used for enabling the cell differentiation chamber to be fully exchanged with the channel, exchanging the culture hydrogel into the cell differentiation chamber and exchanging the waste liquid. And, can only flow to the second little through-flow through first little through-flow, guarantee the unidirectional nature of circulation.
Similarly, the provision of the second micro flow channel also provides the possibility of exchanging between the cell differentiation chamber and the chip culture chamber. The side of the chip culture chamber corresponding to the third micro flow channel is also provided with a micro flow channel which does not circulate. Also, the space of the exchange channel is increased, and sufficient exchange can be obtained.
For this purpose, the platform may also be designed with a monitoring unit for monitoring the formation of pseudopodia to verify the reactivation of metastatic tumor cells.
For example, peristaltic pumps are respectively connected with two liquid outlets or one liquid outlet, and circulation perfusion is carried out at a certain speed (such as a flow rate of 5 ul/min) to simulate blood flow in a body; so that the cell differentiation chamber flows into the circulating culture medium, the osteoclast and the tumor cells are wrapped in the hydrogel injected into the chip cavity, and the tumor dormancy microenvironment is induced to simulate the microenvironment of the bone tissue in the body.
