Definitions
- adherent cells especially mammalian cells
- adherent cells need to be attached to the surface of a cell culture substrate in order to be able to grow. This cell adhesion is mediated by integrin receptors and transmembrane proteins. If the entire growth area is covered by cultured adherent cells, strictly adherent cell lines generally no longer grow. Furthermore, after the formation of a closed monolayer of adherent cells in the cell culture vessel, the growth of the cells can be slowed down and the culture can also die.
- the cells are diluted before they reach their maximum density (surface is about 70-80% overgrown), this being done by the "passing" of the cells, in which the cells are detached from the cell culture substrate and brought into suspension the cells are placed in a new cell culture vessel for further cultivation.
- "passaging" is therefore carried out regularly in order to avoid negative consequences for the adherent cells.
- a frequently used method for detaching the adherent cells from the cell culture substrate is "trypsinization", in which the serine protease trypsin is used, which cleaves the surface proteins of the cells and thus interrupts the adhesion to the cell culture vessel. Since trypsin not only cleaves molecules that are relevant for adherence but also unspecifically surface proteins of the adherent cells, surface proteins such as growth factors or membrane proteins, which play an essential role in cell metabolism, are also cleaved. The “trypsinization” therefore at least partially has a negative influence on the metabolism of the adherent cells and leads to cell stress and thus reduces the overall vitality of the adherent cells during "passage".
- An alternative method to Detachment of adherent cells consists in using thermoresponsive polymers which, depending on the temperature, have a switchable hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity and thus cause the detachment of the cells during "passage".
- the cells can be detached, for example, by changing the temperature from standard culture conditions from 37 ° C to 22 ° C. This change in temperature can also lead to changes in the metabolism of the adherent cells and negatively affect the growth behavior of the cells.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a cell culture substrate for cultivating adherent cells, a method for cultivating adherent cells using the cell culture substrate, a use of the cell culture substrate for culturing adherent cells and a kit for culturing the adherent cells which are related to the above mentioned disadvantages are improved.
- a cell culture substrate according to claim 1.
- Further embodiments of the cell culture substrate, a kit, a method for producing the cell culture substrate and further embodiments of the method for culturing adherent cells are the subject of further claims.
- the present invention relates to a cell culture substrate for cultivating adherent cells, comprising
- this cell culture substrate is that the firm binding of the saccharide to the polymer having amino groups and the binding of the polymer to the substrate result in a particularly good binding of the adherent cells to the cell culture substrate.
- This allows a particularly reliable cultivation of adherent cells.
- the detachment of the cells from the cell culture substrate can occur in the
- the present cell culture substrate can be carried out particularly simply by adding a saccharide, which competitively interrupts the interactions between the surface proteins of the adherent cells and the cell culture substrate and thus allows adherent cells to “pass” easily.
- the cell metabolism is not impaired in the present invention, since neither a cleavage of the surface proteins of the adherent cells, nor a change in temperature or a change in the pH of the cell culture medium are required.
- At least one monosaccharide unit of the saccharide can be present cyclically as a so-called “half-acetate”, which enables the surface proteins of the adherent cell to bind to the saccharide particularly well.
- This monosaccharide unit can in particular be a hexose, a saccharide with 6 carbon atoms. It is also possible to use pentoses, saccharides with 5 carbon atoms.
- the saccharide has an open-chain monosaccharide unit, the saccharide being connected to a secondary or primary amine group of the polymer (P) via this monosaccharide unit.
- the saccharide of the cell culture substrate according to the invention has at least two monosaccharide units, since as a rule, when the saccharide is linked to the polymer (P) containing amino groups, an open-chain monosaccharide unit is preferably linked directly to an amino group of the polymer (P) and this monosaccharide -Unit is then no longer or only to a minor extent available for connection to the adherent cells. Recognition by the adherent cells can then take place via the second monosaccharide unit of the saccharide. This enables a particularly simple connection of the saccharide to the polymer.
- the secondary or primary amine bridge between the open-chain monosaccharide unit of the saccharide and the polymer (P) can in particular be the product of a reductive amination of an originally reducing monosaccharide unit of the saccharide and an amino group of the polymer. This enables the open-chain monosaccharide unit of the saccharide directly to the To bind the amino group of the polymer without linking linker groups between the polymer and the saccharide.
- the saccharide of the cell culture substrate can in particular be an oligosaccharide or polysaccharide, preferably an oligosaccharide or polysaccharide with 2 to 500 monosaccharide repeat units, preferably 2 to 20 monosaccharide repeat units, more preferably 2 to 10 monosaccharide repeat units.

- the substrate comprises or consists of glass or synthetic polymers, such as plastic.
- Glass as well as synthetic polymers are particularly favorable and suitable substrates for the cell culture substrate.
- the plastics can in particular be polyolefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene or other plastics such as polystyrene (PS) or polycarbonate (PC). Borosilicate glass, for example, can be used as glass. Polystyrene is particularly preferred.

- oxygen-containing groups enable particularly simple attachment to the polymer via its amino groups. It is particularly possible to treat the surfaces of polystyrene cell culture substrates with an oxygen plasma, in which case the above-mentioned groups can then be formed. Treatment with oxygen plasma to form functional groups is also possible on glass surfaces.
- the polymer of the cell culture substrate can furthermore comprise or consist of synthetic polymers containing amino groups, such as poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI) or poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM).
- PPI poly (ethyleneimine)
- PAMAM poly (amidoamine)
- Such polymers have a large number of amino groups and thus make it particularly easy to bind a large number of saccharides for binding the adherent cells.
- the large number of amino groups can also promote the binding of the polymer to the substrate.
- chitosan a polyglucosamine as a polymer containing amino groups
- the linking of the saccharide to the chitosan as a polymer can take place analogously to the polymers already described above by means of reductive amination. Not all of the amino groups of the chitosan are made to react with the saccharide, so that amino groups of the chitosan are still available for binding to the substrate.
- branched amino group-containing polymers so-called dendrimers
- dendrimers can also be used, which due to their high degree of branching can have a particularly large number of amino groups.
- the parameter x is a natural integer and represents the number of repeat units in the polymer P.
- the parameter x can in particular be between 15 and 6000 repeat units, preferably between 25 and 2000 repeat units, more preferably between 1200 up to 1800 repeat units.

- the repeat units F are repeat units with Branching points which are particularly present in polymer P when branched dentrimers are used as polymers.
- the positions marked with “ * ” indicate the attachment points of the repeat units to further repeat units in the polymer P, or in the case of terminal repeat units, the attachment to the group A or to the terminal amino group -NH 2 in the general formula I.
- the nitrogen atom of these groups characterizes an amino group of the polymer which reacts with the above-mentioned oxygen-containing groups of the substrate, the corresponding linking groups A being formed.
- the positions in the groups marked with mark the attachment points of the group A to the polymer P and to the substrate S.
- Such groups are particularly well suited to form a stable covalent bond between the polymer P and the substrate S.
- the saccharide Z is preferably selected from a group consisting of the following groups with the formulas G to J:
- the parameters g, i and j are, independently of one another, a natural integer between 0 and 400, preferably 0 to 300, more preferably 0 to 10, or 0 (disaccharide).
- the positions marked with represent the points of attachment of the saccharide Z to the polymer P.
- the saccharide can have glycosidic bonds, in particular 1, 4- or 1,6-glycosidic bonds, for example ⁇ -1,4-glycosidic bonds, ⁇ -1,4-glycosidic bonds, and a-1,6 glycosidic bonds.
- the saccharide Z of the two formulas I has, for example, ⁇ -1,4-glycosidic bonds, as occur in lactose, or in cellobiose as disaccharides, or in cellulose as polysaccharide.
- the saccharide of the formula G has a-1,4-glycosidic bonds, such as those found in maltose as a disaccharide.
- Maltose is the breakdown product of the starch polysaccharide by the enzyme beta-amylase.
- the formula H shows melibiose with an ⁇ -1,6 glycosidic bond.
- Such saccharides Z are particularly suitable for forming adherent cells, since many of these structures contain the monosaccharide galactose, which is recognized by many receptors on the cells.
- the saccharide of formula J is derived from Mannan and can, for example, be the hydrolysis product of mannan, as described in the exemplary embodiments.
- the cell culture substrate can be designed as a cell culture vessel, for example as a Petri dish or as a microtiter plate. Furthermore, the cell culture substrate can also be designed as particles, for example glass or polystyrene particles, on which adherent cells can grow.
- the present invention also relates to a process for the production of a cell culture substrate with the process steps:
- a reducing saccharide Z can be provided particularly advantageously in process step A) and the covalent conjugate can be formed by means of reductive amination in process step B).
- Reducing saccharides are mono-, di-, oligo- or polysaccharides that have a free aldehyde group in solution. This aldehyde group reacts with an amino group of the polymer P, and the subsequently formed imine group can be reduced to an amine, in particular a primary or secondary amine, under mild reducing conditions, for example using sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBHsCN).
- NaBHsCN sodium cyanoborohydride
- the reductive amination is a particularly simple method to be carried out in which the polymer having amino groups can be directly covalently linked to the saccharide without additional linking linker groups having to be present.
- a synthetic polymer is provided that can be poly (ethyleneimine) (PEI) or poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM).
- PEI poly (ethyleneimine)
- PAMAM poly (amidoamine)
- branched dentrimers of these polymers is also possible.
- a substrate in method step C) of a variant of the method according to the invention for producing a cell culture substrate, can be used that by means of an oxygen plasma and thus has functional groups on the surface, for example carboxylate groups, keto groups or hydroxide groups, which can react with the amino groups of the polymer P.
- Such substrates are particularly suitable for forming covalent bonds between the substrate and the polymer-saccharide conjugate via the amino groups of the polymer.

- the polymer-saccharide conjugate can be coupled to the substrate within 2 to 5 minutes after the plasma treatment thereof.
- the present invention also relates to a method for culturing adherent cells using a cell culture substrate, as described above, with the method steps:
- Bringing the cells into contact with the saccharide can advantageously take place in that the cell culture medium in which the adherent cells are located is exchanged for a solution which contains the saccharide.
- the saccharide can, for example, be dissolved in an isotonic salt solution or in a cell-free cell culture medium.
- Such a method for cultivating adherent cells makes it particularly easy to detach the cells from the cell culture substrate and “pass through” them in method step 3) by using a saccharide.
- a saccharide To detach the cells from the cell culture substrate in method step 3), no treatment of the cells with enzymes, for example trypsin, or a change in temperature is necessary.
- the pH of the cell culture medium does not have to be changed either, so that the cells be removed particularly gently, without the cell metabolism or protein expression in the adherent cells being influenced as strongly as is the case with conventional methods of “passing”.
- Process step 3) is preferably initiated when, in process step 2), the cell culture substrate is largely, e.g. B. is overgrown with the adherent cells to about 70% to 80%. This can be determined, for example, using microscopic methods.
- the same saccharide can be used that is also part of the cell culture substrate.
- lactose can be used to detach the adherent cells if lactose has been bound to the polymer P as saccharide in the cell culture substrate.
- maltose, celiobiose or mannose can also be used if these saccharides are part of the cell culture substrate.
- These saccharides are particularly inexpensive compounds that allow the adherent cells to be detached from the cell culture substrate in process step 3) in a simple and reliable manner. Since the adherent cells are bound to the cell culture substrate via the same saccharide that is also used to detach the cells, detachment of the cells can be achieved particularly reliably.
- saccharides can also be used to detach the adherent cells from the cell culture substrate than those which are part of the cell culture substrate.
- the saccharide used for the detachment should, however, be able to detach the adherent cells competitively from the cell substrate.
- the saccharide can be used in a concentration of 5 mM to 25 mM, preferably 5 mM to 10 mM, to detach the adherent cells from the cell substrate be used.
- the saccharide is preferably dissolved in either PBS or cell-free cell culture medium in these concentrations and the existing cell culture medium of a cell culture is exchanged for this solution, which leads to the cells becoming detached from the cell culture vessel.
- concentrations on the one hand, a reliable detachment of the adherent cells from the cell culture substrate can be achieved, but on the other hand osmotic stress for the adherent cells, which only occurs at higher concentrations of about 100 to 200 mM, can be avoided.
