Description

Automatic human-simulated large-scale stem cell culture equipment with low loss rate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological equipment, and particularly relates to low-loss-rate automatic human-simulated large-scale stem cell culture equipment.
Background
Stem cell therapy is taken as an important scientific issue with international strategic and prospective property, and has obvious therapeutic effect on a plurality of serious diseases which lack effective therapeutic means, such as heart failure, neurodegenerative diseases, and the like. The large-scale, high-quality, safe and stable cell culture equipment is a bottleneck problem for restricting the popularization of stem cell treatment. The three-dimensional cell culture technology and the three-dimensional cell culture equipment can obviously improve the production efficiency of stem cells, ensure the production quality and improve the application effect, so that the development of the equipment which can improve the cell product quality, improve the production quantity of the stem cells and have the automatic production function is significant.
In stem cell scale culture, the cell culture volume has a direct effect on cell growth and accumulation of metabolites. In general, a larger culture volume may provide more nutrient and oxygen supply, thereby promoting cell growth and proliferation. However, too large a culture volume may also present some problems. For example, a large culture volume may result in an uneven culture environment, resulting in a difference in growth of cells at different locations. The existing solution is to raise the environmental uniformity among different positions in the equipment through a large number of stirring and mixing after the whole culture volume, for example, the problem of uneven stirring of the culture solution in the tank body of the biological reaction tank is solved by adding a spraying device and a stirring device in the 'a stem cell scale culture bioreactor system' of the patent number CN112852633A by the regional strength. However, mechanical movements such as stirring, spraying, aeration and the like inevitably generate shearing force to damage cells, so that cell loss in the cell culture process is increased, cell survival is influenced, and the improvement of culture density is limited, so that the invention of the expandable large-scale stem cell culture equipment with low cell loss rate is required.
In order to improve the production quality of stem cells and ensure various physiological indexes of the cells, the culture environment can be accurately controlled during the in-vitro culture of the cells. The existing cell culture equipment mainly detects and regulates the pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration in the cell culture environment, for example Chen Haijia in a patent No. CN115803428A, which is a method for efficiently preparing exosomes by utilizing a stem cell scale culture device, the pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen in a reaction kettle are monitored and regulated by a culture microenvironment regulating system. However, research proves that the pressure of the environment in the human body has an influence on the cell state, proliferation speed, pluripotency and stability of stem cells, and in the existing stem cell culture process, the pressure, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration and other environmental parameters are difficult to accurately regulate and control, so that a controllable pressure culture environment is not arranged. The existing stem cell culture method still has the problem that the control of environmental factors such as pressure, dissolved oxygen, pH and the like can not be simultaneously regulated, so that the cell state, proliferation speed and the like are different from those of the actual living in vivo, and the development of stem cell treatment is hindered. It is therefore desirable to invent a stem cell culture apparatus that mimics the in vivo environment of a human including blood pressure.
In addition, compared with the traditional manual culture equipment, the automatic production equipment can remarkably improve the production efficiency, and continuous and high-flux culture operation is realized, so that complicated and time-consuming steps possibly occurring in manual operation are avoided. Meanwhile, the culture environment can be monitored and regulated in real time by matching with an advanced control system and a sensor technology, and the stability and consistency of culture conditions are ensured, so that the efficiency and quality of stem cell culture are improved.
In summary, there is a need for a low-loss, expandable, fully automatic and large-scale stem cell culture device, which can couple and regulate the pH, pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration of a culture environment in a cell culture process, so as to achieve the purpose of simulating the cell growth environment in a human body in vitro, and promote the quantity and quality of the cultured stem cells, thereby promoting the development of the cell therapy industry in China.

The invention has the following advantages:
(1) The invention realizes cell culture capable of reducing the cell loss rate in the process of uniformly mixing cell-nutrient substances. The mixing of substances in the existing culture equipment is mainly provided by stirring paddles and aeration discs, and the shearing force damage to cells is unavoidable. If the shaking mechanism is simply adopted for mixing, as the culture system is increased, the surface of the liquid is contacted with air to transfer oxygen, and the obvious dissolved oxygen concentration gradient exists in the culture tank, so that the requirement of all cells in the tank on the dissolved oxygen is not sufficiently supported. Therefore, the aeration of gases such as oxygen and the mixing of nutrient substances are independent from the cell culture, an independent mixing module is additionally arranged, the traditional stirring and aeration are adopted to ensure that the nutrient substances in the culture medium are fully and uniformly mixed, the cell culture module ensures the uniform dispersion of cells through the gentle shaking of a shaking table, the culture medium rich in the nutrient substances after being uniformly mixed in the mixing module and the culture medium consumed by the nutrient substances in the cell culture module are replaced through the circulation system, and the shearing force damage to the cells caused by the mixed power sources such as stirring and aeration is removed on the basis of improving the transmission characteristic of the nutrient substances and enhancing the mixing stability, so that the low cell loss rate in the process of uniformly mixing the cell-nutrient substances is realized.
(2) The invention realizes the scalable large-scale cell culture based on low loss rate of cells. The existing method for expanding the culture scale of stem cells mainly comprises the steps of increasing the number of culture dishes or increasing the culture volume of a single pot, wherein the cells can only grow in an adherence way, the number of the cells is far lower than the number of the cells attached to microcarriers to proliferate in a cell culture pot, and the problem of uneven distribution of nutrients in the pot exists in the latter, and if mixed power sources such as stirring, spraying and the like are added, the damage of shearing force to the cells/the cell microcarriers is increased, the cells die, and the loss rate in the cell culture process is increased. The invention is based on the method of the invention (1), a plurality of cell culture tanks are added in the culture module, each culture tank can independently work and operate, and can be combined with the mixing module to perform cell culture, and the number of the cell culture tanks is selected to realize the expandable large-scale cell culture.
(3) The invention realizes the control of the key environment parameters of the human body environment simulation culture based on the decoupling of multiple physical fields. The existing cell culture equipment and method can not solve the problem of regulating and controlling the pressure, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature in the culture environment at the same time; based on a feedback signal of a high-sensitivity sensor, decoupling analysis is performed on a plurality of physical fields of a cell culture environment through a built-in control model, the cell culture temperature is regulated through a heater and a temperature controller in a comprehensive regulation manner, and after the temperature is stable, the pressure, the pH value and the dissolved oxygen concentration in the cell growth environment are controlled through regulating the proportion, the speed, the time and the like of four gases of air, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide which are introduced into a cell culture tank; solves the problem that the prior art can not regulate and control the environmental pressure, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature simultaneously when culturing in vitro, so that the cells are always in the culture environment similar to human body, and the production quality of the cells is ensured to the greatest extent.
(4) The application realizes the automatic cell culture based on the application points (1), (2) and (3). At present, a labor-intensive cell culture mode is adopted, such as manual addition of culture medium, sampling, detection, expansion of a culture system and the like, most of operation steps are easy to cause pollution and generate larger errors, so that automatic operation of equipment is changed, batch production of cells can be completed without a large number of experimenters, the repeatability and stability of a cell culture process are improved, and production requirements are met.
