Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for the in vitro aggregation of cells.
  • the devices are distinguished by the fact that they contain specially shaped cavities which enable the aggregation of individual cells to form cell spheroids when a cell suspension is seeded onto the device.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for the aggregation of cells and the use of the devices according to the invention for the aggregation of cells.
  • Stem cell research deals with the principles of tissue regeneration processes in order to develop methods for regenerative medicine.
  • a very important factor in stem cell biology is the constant communication between the stem cells themselves and the interaction between the stem cells and the surrounding tissue, the so-called stem cell niche. Together, these cells form organizational units, called cell clusters, cell spheroids or organoids, which in large numbers and with a sophisticated architecture ultimately form a whole organ.
  • stem cells are simulated by adding a certain amount of stem and other cells to a drop, which then develop into cell clusters that can be analyzed.
  • the disadvantages of this widespread technology are that only a limited number of cell clusters can be generated in this way and that only a limited change of medium can be carried out. This would be important, however, since the differentiation of stem cells depends on the presence of certain cytokines at a certain point in time, which could be added when the medium is changed.
  • a transplant would be sufficient for a diabetic to be functionally cured and no longer need to inject insulin.
  • islets would have to be dissociated into individual cells and re-aggregated into small "pseudoislets”. Approximately 1,000,000 pseudoislets would be required for transplantation, a number that cannot be achieved with the hanging drop technique.
  • the device described is of limited use for stem cell cluster production, since the microwells have a purely inverted pyramid shape or the shape of a pyramid with a flat bottom. In any case, however, the side edges of the pyramid are not rounded. The cultivated cells are therefore forced into a pointed pyramid shape or into the corresponding side edges instead of a round spheroid / cluster shape. This contradicts the basic physical principles of "free energy minimization" to which all cell processes are subject. In addition, in this form of microwells, the cells are not supported in forming a round cell spheroid, but instead forced into an unnatural conformation.
  • such a device prevents the natural communication mechanisms of cells, since in the cell clusters formed in this way, due to their irregular shape, there are different concentrations of oxygen and signal molecules for the individual cells.
  • This device is therefore unsuitable for cell therapies, since the shape of the microwells can cause a disruption of the signal pathways, which can lead to incorrect programming and, in later applications with stem cells, ultimately to tumor formation.
  • a solution must be found in this device Reduction of cell attachment can be used. This solution is not clinically approved, so that for this reason too the device is not suitable for clinical use.
  • WO 2010/142755 A2 proposes the use of inserts that are placed on the protruding edge.
  • the object to be solved objectively is therefore to provide a cell culture device which is constructed in such a way that all introduced cells are cultivated under defined conditions and growth of individual cells outside the microwells is prevented.
