Abstract
Description
本発明は、培養細胞、例えば、培養皮膚または人工皮膚、平滑筋細胞およびコラーゲンゲルを組み合わせた血管内膜モデル(または、この上に内皮細胞を組み合わせた血管モデル)、腱細胞およびコラーゲンを組み合わせた培養腱モデル、骨芽細胞およびコラーゲンゲルを組み合わせた骨形成モデル、あるいは、生体由来の皮膚や血管や腱そのものの器官培養等の、伸展・圧縮装置に用いられる培養細胞保持器具に関する。 The present invention combines cultured cells, for example, cultured or artificial skin, an endometrial model combining smooth muscle cells and collagen gel (or a vascular model combining endothelial cells thereon), tendon cells and collagen. The present invention relates to a cultured cell holding device used in an extension / compression device, such as a cultured tendon model, a bone formation model combining osteoblasts and collagen gel, or organ culture of living body-derived skin, blood vessels, or tendons themselves.
培養皮膚等の培養細胞に伸展刺激・圧縮刺激を負荷し、そのような機械的刺激を受けた細胞におけるシグナルトランスダクション、タンパク質発現、遺伝子発現の変化の研究や、形態観察(蛍光抗体法)等を行うために、培養細胞の伸展・圧縮装置が用いられている(非特許文献1、非特許文献2)。
Cell culture cells such as cultured skin are subjected to stretching and compression stimuli, and signal transduction, protein expression, and changes in gene expression in cells that have undergone such mechanical stimulation, morphological observation (fluorescent antibody method), etc. In order to perform this, a stretched / compressed apparatus for cultured cells is used (Non-Patent
対象の培養細胞をこのような装置に据え付けるために、略透明のシリコン薄膜の据置面を有し、全体がシリコンでできているシリコンチャンバーを用いる手段がある。これは据置面に培養細胞を置き、据置面と培養細胞との間の静止摩擦力のみによって伸展・圧縮時に滑らないようにされている。 In order to install the target cultured cells in such an apparatus, there is a means using a silicon chamber having a substantially transparent silicon thin-film mounting surface and made entirely of silicon. In this method, the cultured cells are placed on the stationary surface, and only the static frictional force between the stationary surface and the cultured cells is prevented from slipping during extension / compression.
しかし、この方法によると、より大きい刺激を負荷するためにより大きな伸縮の変位を与えた場合、静止摩擦力を超えて培養細胞が据置面に対してずれてしまい、正確な観察等ができないという問題点がある。 However, according to this method, when a larger expansion / contraction displacement is applied to load a larger stimulus, the cultured cells are displaced with respect to the stationary surface beyond the static friction force, so that accurate observation or the like cannot be performed. There is a point.
前記課題を解決するために1番目の発明によれば、伸縮する本体部と本体部に培養細胞を固定する保持手段とを有し、本体部の伸縮に応じて培養細胞を伸展・圧縮する。これによって、伸展刺激・圧縮刺激負荷時に培養細胞がずれないようにしっかりと保持できるようになる。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, according to the first invention, it has a main body part that expands and contracts and a holding means that fixes cultured cells to the main body part, and expands and compresses cultured cells according to the expansion and contraction of the main body part. This makes it possible to hold the cultured cells firmly so that they do not shift when subjected to extension stimulation or compression stimulation.
また、2番目の発明によれば1番目の発明において、本体部が金属製メッシュから成る。 According to a second aspect, in the first aspect, the main body is made of a metal mesh.
また、3番目の発明によれば2番目の発明において、金属製メッシュが本体部の長手方向と短手方向に平行に各対角線を有する四角形から成る。これによって、本体部が各方向に伸縮可能となると共に、メッシュの間から培養細胞を観察することが可能となる。 According to the third invention, in the second invention, the metal mesh is formed of a quadrangle having diagonal lines parallel to the longitudinal direction and the short direction of the main body. Thereby, the main body can be expanded and contracted in each direction, and the cultured cells can be observed from between the meshes.
また、4番目の発明によれば1番目から3番目のいずれかの発明において、保持手段が本体部と同じ材質から成る。 According to the fourth invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the holding means is made of the same material as the main body.
また、5番目の発明によれば1番目から4番目のいずれかの発明において、保持手段が培養細胞を本体部に係止する複数の係止針である。これによって、培養細胞を突き刺して保持することが可能となる。 According to the fifth invention, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, the holding means is a plurality of locking needles for locking the cultured cell to the main body. This makes it possible to pierce and hold the cultured cells.
また、6番目の発明によれば5番目の発明において、保持手段が四角形を形成する線上に配置されている。 According to the sixth aspect, in the fifth aspect, the holding means is arranged on a line forming a quadrangle.
また、7番目の発明によれば1番目から6番目のいずれかの発明において、本体部がシリコンチャンバーを介して培養細胞の伸展・圧縮装置に取付可能な形状である。これによって、本発明による保持器具を公知のシリコンチャンバーに固定クリップを用いて取り付けることが可能となる。 According to a seventh invention, in any one of the first to sixth inventions, the main body has a shape that can be attached to a cell extension / compression device via a silicon chamber. As a result, the holding device according to the present invention can be attached to a known silicon chamber using a fixing clip.
培養細胞をシリコンチャンバーの据置面上にしっかりと保持できることによって、培養細胞が据置面からずれることなく伸展刺激・圧縮刺激を効率的に負荷することが可能となる。 Since the cultured cells can be firmly held on the stationary surface of the silicon chamber, the cultured cells can be efficiently loaded with extension and compression stimuli without being displaced from the stationary surface.

ここで培養細胞には、培養皮膚または人工皮膚のみならず、例えば、平滑筋細胞およびコラーゲンゲルを組み合わせた血管内膜モデル(または、この上に内皮細胞を組み合わせた血管モデル)、腱細胞およびコラーゲンを組み合わせた培養腱モデル、骨芽細胞およびコラーゲンゲルを組み合わせた骨形成モデル、あるいは、生体由来の皮膚や血管や腱そのものの器官培養等を含む。 Here, the cultured cells include not only cultured skin or artificial skin, but also, for example, an intima model in which smooth muscle cells and collagen gel are combined (or a blood vessel model in which endothelial cells are combined thereon), tendon cells and collagen. Cultured bone tendon model combining osteoblasts and collagen gel, or organ culture of living body-derived skin, blood vessels and tendons themselves.
保持器具1は本体部2と保持手段3とを有している。本体部2は、好ましくはステンレスである金属製のメッシュからできており、個々のメッシュは本体部2の長手方向と短手方向に平行に各対角線を有する四角形から成る。そのため、各方向に本体部2を引っ張ると各対角線の長さ比が変化することによって、それぞれの方向に伸縮可能となると共に、メッシュの間からは伸縮された培養細胞を観察等することが可能となる。本体部2の中央は平面となっており、両端面は後述のシリコンチャンバー5に嵌合するように屈曲部4を形成している。
The
一方、保持手段3は、本体部2の中央の平面上に配置され、そこに置かれる培養細胞が本体部2を伸縮した際に滑らぬように係止するための手段である。好ましくは、複数の係止針であり、本体部1と同じ材質から成る。図に示す実施形態において、保持手段3が四角形を形成する線上に配置されているが、円形等、その他の形状であってもよい。

保持器具1の各屈曲部4をシリコンチャンバー5の対応する側壁7に嵌るように被せ、さらに、好ましくはステンレス製の固定クリップ10によって、その弾性を利用して、保持器具1がシリコンチャンバー5から外れたりずれたりしないように挟んで止めている。この状態で例えばコラーゲンゲルのような培養細胞11を保持手段3上に突き刺すようにセットし、場合によっては培養液等でチャンバーを満たす。
Each
これらを培養細胞の伸展・圧縮装置の固定ピンを貫通孔9に通して取り付けると、伸展刺激・圧縮刺激を負荷するためのシリコンチャンバーの伸縮に応じて培養細胞も伸縮し、大きな変位を与えても培養細胞11がずれてしまうことなく、観察等を行うことが可能となる。
When these are attached through the through-
前述の実施形態において、刺激負荷は一軸方向であったが、メッシュの構造から明らかなように二軸方向の刺激負荷に適用することも可能である。 In the above-described embodiment, the stimulation load is uniaxial. However, as is apparent from the mesh structure, the stimulation load can be applied to the biaxial stimulation load.
