The chip is manufactured by using a standard soft lithography method, and the process mainly comprises mask design, template manufacture and chip processing, and specifically comprises the following steps: the structure was designed using Auto CAD software and printed as a film mask with a full chip size of 33X 37mm. The standard soft lithography method is adopted to prepare the silicon wafer template, and the specification is as follows: the upper layer flow chip contains 7 channels, each channel having a diameter of 0.4mm and a distance between channels of 4mm. The diameters of the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are 1mm, the liquid inlet channel 307 is 5mm long, the liquid outlet channel 308 is 6mm long, and the interval channel between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet is 3mm long; the four layers of chips are provided with 21 rounded rectangles with the size of 4.6X2 mm as substance exchange areas.

The height of the template for manufacturing the silicon wafer is 200 mu m. . And weighing the PDMS prepolymer RTV615 type adhesive A and the PDMS prepolymer B according to a ratio of 10:1, and cutting a structural part PDMS after curing, wherein the thickness of each layer of PDMS chip is respectively 3mm, 1mm and 2mm from top to bottom. And (3) punching holes at the inlet end and the outlet end of the channel by using a 0.5mm puncher, wherein the pore size is proper to the size of a steel needle inserted into the connecting pipe.
Sterilization of microfluidic chip devices: before performing a cell experiment, placing the PDMS chip in absolute ethyl alcohol, performing ultrasonic treatment for 5min, washing with deionized water for 5min, and drying at 80 ℃ for later use; the device is sterilized by ultraviolet rays by a steel needle connected with an inlet and an outlet and a polyethylene elastic plastic tube connected with a syringe pump.
Preparation and application methods of the porous membrane: a polycarbonate porous membrane with a pore diameter of 0.4 μm was cut into a rectangle with a specification of 30X 0.5mm, stored in 75% ethanol, washed three times with DPBS, placed in 60mm dishes in order, and air-dried in an ultra clean bench. Coating two sides of a porous membrane by using 0.36mg/ml of rat tail collagen, carefully attaching the rat tail collagen to the bottom of a dish, incubating for 2 hours at 37 ℃ and then inoculating cells, wherein the cell density is more than 1X 10 7 cells/ml, incubating in a cell incubator, changing the liquid after 24 hours, and then culturing for 48 hours again, and observing under a microscope until the cells are completely full of the porous membrane for experiments.
Cell co-culture in PDMS chip: the epithelial cells HUCCT-1 of the human intrahepatic bile duct cancer and the human hepatic stellate cells LX-2 are mixed into a cell suspension according to a ratio of 1:2, the cell density is larger than 1X 10 6/ml, and the cell density of each cell layer is inoculated according to the total number of the simulated human intrahepatic cells. The cell mixture was mixed with Matrigel at 1:1 and injected into the cell culture chamber 302 and placed in a 5% CO 2 incubator at 37℃for 4 hours. Matrigel polymerizes at room temperature to form a three-dimensional matrix with bioactivity, which is helpful for simulating the 3D structure of cells in vivo and providing a favorable physiological microenvironment for co-culture of the cells.
And after the multi-layer module is assembled from bottom to top, fixing and sealing the multi-layer module by using an acrylic clamp and screws.
The channel inlet is connected with the injection pump through the steel needle and the polyethylene elastic plastic pipe, cell culture liquid perfusion is carried out at a stable flow rate, the flow rate is 1 mu l/min in the experiment, and the influence degree of the control fluid shear force on cells is low. Co-culture medium EA.hy926/HUCCT-1/LX-2 medium was prepared at a 1:1:1 volume ratio and 10ng/mL vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF was added.
This example enables assessment of cell viability and structural function of each cell layer: because PDMS has good optical transparency, the physiological state of the cells can be monitored in real time by using a fluorescence microscope. To verify the structure and function of cells in the three-dimensional culture mode of the chip, after 48 hours of normal operation, the structure of each cell layer was visualized by fluorescent staining, and the chip was disassembled for biological characterization of each cell layer.
First, a porous membrane layer of 2D cells was constructed using ea.hy926 cells to mimic the tissue barrier function of the capillary wall. TRITC Phallodin fluorescent staining shows the network fiber structure distribution of the cellular microfilament skeleton on the porous membrane, while live and dead staining of cells using AM and PI staining. The results show that cells are spread on the surface of the porous membrane to form a complete coverage, and the state structure is good. The cultured EA.hy926 cell porous membrane layer and the chip are combined and cultured for 48 hours, and the cell viability is more than 90% as shown in FIG. 11. Expression of ZO-1 is a biomarker that indicates tight junctions between endothelial cells. Immunofluorescence analysis shows that after 72h of endothelial cell layer culture, a tightly connected monolayer can be formed, meeting the requirements of drug permeability modeling based on porous membranes.
Porous membrane endothelial cell layer barrier function analysis: a chip containing only single-layer porous membrane endothelial cells is designed, and prepared DMEM complete culture medium is simultaneously applied to the upper layer and the lower layer of the chip, wherein the upper layer culture medium is respectively prepared into DMEM complete culture solution containing 1 mu M of 70kDa, 40kDa and 10kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate FITC-dextran solution and 2mg/ml fluorescein sodium. After the system is stable, collecting the underflow liquid every half hour, detecting the fluorescence intensity by using an enzyme-labeled instrument, and comparing the fluorescence intensity with a standard curve to obtain the apparent permeability according to a formula. From the view of figure 12 (n=4,) The result shows that the endothelial cell layer has a barrier function, allows selective permeation of substances with different molecular weights, and has strong interception capability on macromolecular substances; in immunofluorescence analysis of its ZO-1 protein, it was shown that the endothelial cell layer can form a tightly linked monolayer, indicating that drug permeability studies can be performed based on porous membranes, and that analytes can diffuse through dynamic fluids to the lower layer of the endothelial cell monolayer.
Verifying the functional characteristics of the co-culture system of the chip: this example uses Matrigel to help mimic the extracellular matrix of cells in vivo, providing a favorable physiological microenvironment for the cells. The quantitative ratios of the two cells (HUCCT-1 and LX-2) stained with Cell-TRACKERDID/DIL were counted 24h and 48h after 3D culture of the chip, and the results of fluorescence quantification, as shown in fig. 13 (where (n=4, ns P >0.05, P < 0.01)), showed good Cell activity. Alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) is one of the markers of hepatic stellate cell activation, with alpha-SMA being expressed in increased amounts with increased liver fibrosis. Cytokeratin 19 (CK 19) is an epithelial cell structural protein, and specifically stains bile duct epithelial cells and intrahepatic bile duct cancer cells. Compared with the single culture of LX-2, the immunofluorescence detection quantification result is shown in fig. 14 (n=5, ns P >0.05, P < 0.0001), and CK19 and α -SMA are positive in specific expression, indicating that HUCCT-1 and LX-2 have good structure and function in the chip co-culture mode. As shown in the multi-index immunoassay result of the multi-channel chip in FIG. 14, the expression of the secretory factor Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is increased, so that LX-2 cells are activated and have fibrosis proliferation. The data of this example demonstrate that the microenvironment of the chip is more conducive to the biomimetic growth of tumor cells.
In addition, the microporous unit of multicellular co-culture in the embodiment has high correlation to tumor microenvironment research, can provide analysis data of cell polarization, differentiation and cytotoxicity, can carry out high-efficiency drug screening under the background of the platform, and can carry out real-time monitoring on cytotoxicity analysis of the estimated drugs.
As an optional implementation mode, aiming at the problem of lack of a drug sensitivity detection model for simulating the bile duct cancer tumor microenvironment, the chip model is utilized to perform single drug administration and combined drug administration to induce tumor cell apoptosis, and under the injection pump perfusion strategy, the processes of drug delivery, chip cell culture, stimulation, marking, multiple cell response detection and the like are integrated into a whole by utilizing the laminar flow characteristics in the chip microchannel, so that in-situ drug sensitivity detection is realized. The method can simultaneously generate 7 drug action conditions and 21 response effects in one operation, and can simultaneously analyze the apoptosis induction degree of different drugs.
In order to verify the feasibility of in-vitro drug sensitivity detection of the microfluidic chip platform, resveratrol (RV) is used for induction treatment for 48 hours in the embodiment, and the anti-tumor cell activity of the sample is detected. The use of single drug RV in 96-well plate and chip model respectively in 48 hours, detection results for such as figure 15 shows A, C, in chip RV drug sensitivity is dose dependent, calculated IC50 is 116.7 u M, than 96-well plate RVIC50, shows in chip system drug response sensitivity higher, and further using the chip system for cell co-culture drug effect evaluation. Based on MTT assay results, CIS 16. Mu.M was selected for administration in combination with RV (10, 25, 50, 100, 200. Mu.M), respectively. Under the same mode of the chip, drug sensitivity detection tests of HUCCT-1 single culture group, HUCCT-1 co-culture group and LX-2 co-culture group are respectively carried out, and the apoptosis rates of HUCTT-1 cells of the two groups are compared. As shown in the B of FIG. 15, compared with the single culture group, the apoptosis rate of HUCCT-1 cells in the co-culture group is reduced by about two times after the induction of 10-100 mu M of the chip drug RV for 48 hours, which suggests that the existence of hepatic stellate cells reduces the drug sensitivity of bile duct cancer cells and possibly participates in drug resistance generation of bile duct cancer cells.
To confirm whether the drug inhibited tumor cell growth by inducing HUCCT-1 apoptosis, this example used flow cytometry to examine the apoptosis rate of different concentrations of RV, CIS and their combination for treatment of HUCCT-1 cells for 48 h. The results show that both RV and CIS can effectively induce HUCCT-1 cells to apoptosis as shown in figure 16A; compared with a single drug group, RV combined with CIS can obviously promote HUCCT-1 cells to apoptosis.
To further investigate whether hepatic stellate cells (LX-2) affect drug sensitivity of tumor cells by apoptosis. The flow cytometry detection result shows that as shown in FIG. 16B, the combined drug (RV+CIS16. Mu.M) has more remarkable effect of promoting HUCCT-1 cells to apoptosis than the single RV drug; under the combined action, the apoptosis rate of HUCCT-1 cells of the co-culture group is obviously reduced by about two times compared with that of the single culture group (shown in table 1). These data again demonstrate that hepatic stellate cells (LX-2) are likely to inhibit bile duct cancer cell HUCCT-1 sensitivity to drugs.
