Description

本発明は、細胞分離方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a cell separation method.

再生医療やテーラーメード治療などの被検体由来の細胞が必要な分野において、目的細胞を効率よく分離・検出・培養する技術が必要とされる。これまでに目的細胞を分離する方法として、蛍光標識された抗体を目的細胞の表面タンパク質に修飾して分離するフローサイトメトリーや、磁気標識された抗体を目的細胞の表面タンパク質に修飾して外部磁場で分離する磁気細胞分離法など、イムノアフィニティに関する技術が主流である。しかし、使用する抗体などの試薬が高価であり、ランニングコストが高いという課題がある。また、イムノアフィニティ技術は細胞の表面タンパク質に抗体を修飾することで細胞にダメージを与えてしまう課題もある。将来的な再生医療分野等の発展のためには、安価に目的細胞を低侵襲で分離できる細胞分離技術が求められる。 In fields such as regenerative medicine and tailor-made treatment where cells derived from a subject are required, a technique for efficiently separating, detecting, and culturing target cells is required.

以下、本発明の一態様について詳細に説明するが、本発明を以下の内容に限定する趣旨ではない。本発明は、その趣旨の範囲内で適宜に変形して実施できる。 Hereinafter, one aspect of the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not intended to be limited to the following contents. The present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented within the scope of the gist thereof.

LCSTとは下限臨界溶解温度(Lower Critical Solution Temperature:LCST)であり、この温度よりも低い温度では高分子が水に溶解して透明の溶液になるが、この温度よりも高い温度では不溶化して白濁するか沈殿が生じ、相分離する温度である。 LCST is the lower critical dissolution temperature (LCST). At a temperature lower than this temperature, the polymer dissolves in water to become a transparent solution, but at a temperature higher than this temperature, it becomes insoluble. It is the temperature at which white turbidity or precipitation occurs and phase separation occurs.

ブロック共重合体は、2種類以上の繰り返し単位からなる重合体で、それぞれ同種の繰り返し単位からなる高分子鎖が、1本の鎖の中に結合している重合体をいう。 A block copolymer is a polymer composed of two or more types of repeating units, and refers to a polymer in which polymer chains composed of the same type of repeating units are bonded in one chain.

下限臨界溶解温度(LCST)を示すセグメントを含むブロック共重合体は、特に限定はないが、重合が容易なことから、アクリロイル基あるいはメタクリロイル基を含む構造であることが好ましい。下限臨界溶解温度(LCST)を示すセグメントの繰返し単位(以下、「LCST繰返し単位」ということがある)とその水に対するLCSTは、例えば、N−エチルアクリルアミド(LCST=72℃)、N−シクロプロピルアクリルアミド(LCST=46℃)、N−イソプロピルアクリルアミド(LCST=32℃)、N−n−プロピルメタクリルアミド(LCST=22℃)、N−テトラヒドロフルフリルアクリルアミド(LCST=28℃)、N−エトキシエチルアクリルアミド(LCST=35℃)、N,N−ジエチルアクリルアミド(LCST=32℃)、N−シクロプロピルメタクリルアミド(LCST=59℃)、N−イソプロピルメタクリルアミド(LCST=44℃)、N−n−プロピルメタクリルアミド(LCST=28℃)、N−テトラヒドロフルフリルメタクリルアミド(LCST=35℃)、N−メチル−N−エチルアクリルアミド(LCST=56℃)、N−メチル−N−イソプロピルアクリルアミド(LCST=23℃)、N−メチル−N−n−プロピルアクリルアミド(LCST=20℃)、またはN,N−ジメチルアミノエチルメタクリレート(LCST=47℃)等が例示できる。LCSTの上限は、細胞培養温度は一般的に高温ではタンパク質変性に伴う細胞へのダメージが発生することから42℃が好ましく、40℃がより好ましい。また、LCSTの下限は、低温での細胞活性の低下を避ける為に、10℃が好ましく、20℃がより好ましい。LCST繰返し単位としては、その繰り返し単位を1種類のみ用いてもよく、2種類以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。また、ブロック共重合体が温度変化によって親水性/疎水性の程度が変化する性質(以下、「温度応答性」ということがある)を有するのであれば、LCST繰返し単位の他に、異なる繰返し単位を含んでも良い。 The block copolymer containing a segment showing the lower limit critical dissolution temperature (LCST) is not particularly limited, but is preferably a structure containing an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group because polymerization is easy. The repetition unit of the segment indicating the lower limit critical dissolution temperature (LCST) (hereinafter, may be referred to as “LCST repetition unit”) and the LCST for water thereof are, for example, N-ethylacrylamide (LCST = 72 ° C.), N-cyclopropyl. Acrylamide (LCST = 46 ° C), N-isopropylacrylamide (LCST = 32 ° C), Nn-propylmethacrylamide (LCST = 22 ° C), N-tetrahydrofurfurylacrylamide (LCST = 28 ° C), N-ethoxyethyl Acrylamide (LCST = 35 ° C), N, N-diethylacrylamide (LCST = 32 ° C), N-cyclopropylmethacrylamide (LCST = 59 ° C), N-isopropylmethacrylamide (LCST = 44 ° C), Nn- Propylmethacrylamide (LCST = 28 ° C.), N-tetrahydrofurfurylmethacrylicamide (LCST = 35 ° C.), N-methyl-N-ethylacrylamide (LCST = 56 ° C.), N-methyl-N-isopropylacrylamide (LCST = 35 ° C.) 23 ° C.), N-methyl-Nn-propylacrylamide (LCST = 20 ° C.), N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (LCST = 47 ° C.) and the like. The upper limit of LCST is preferably 42 ° C., more preferably 40 ° C., because the cell culture temperature is generally high and damage to cells due to protein denaturation occurs. The lower limit of LCST is preferably 10 ° C., more preferably 20 ° C., in order to avoid a decrease in cell activity at low temperatures. As the LCST repeating unit, only one type of the repeating unit may be used, or two or more types may be used in combination. Further, if the block copolymer has a property that the degree of hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity changes with a temperature change (hereinafter, may be referred to as "temperature responsiveness"), a different repeating unit in addition to the LCST repeating unit May include.

ブロック共重合体を構成するセグメントの数は2以上であればよく、3以上であっても構わない。ブロック共重合体中のLCST繰返し単位の構成割合は、5〜95mol%であることが好ましく、30〜90mol%であることがより好ましく、40〜80mol%であることがさらに好ましい。ブロック共重合体を構成するセグメントには、温度応答性及び細胞培養器材への被覆性を向上させるために、LCSTを示すセグメントのほかに、0℃〜50℃の範囲にLCSTを持たない、HLB値(グリフィン法)が9以上20以下の範囲にある親水性重合体セグメントと、0℃〜50℃の範囲にLCSTを持たない、HLB値(グリフィン法)が0以上9未満の範囲にある疎水性重合体セグメントをさらに含んでいることが好ましい。これらのセグメントは、特開2018−087316号公報に記載されたセグメントを用いることができる。 The number of segments constituting the block copolymer may be 2 or more, and may be 3 or more. The composition ratio of the LCST repeating unit in the block copolymer is preferably 5 to 95 mol%, more preferably 30 to 90 mol%, still more preferably 40 to 80 mol%.

本発明の細胞分離方法は、上述したブロック共重合体を被覆した細胞培養器材に2種類以上の細胞を播種する工程(以下、「播種工程」ということがある)と、前記細胞培養器材から前記ブロック共重合体に非接着の細胞を除く工程(以下、「除去工程」ということがある)と、前記細胞培養器材をLCST以下に冷却して前記ブロック共重合体に接着した細胞を回収する工程(以下、「回収工程」ということがある)と、を含んでなる。 The cell separation method of the present invention includes a step of seeding two or more types of cells in the above-mentioned cell culture equipment coated with the block copolymer (hereinafter, may be referred to as a "seed step"), and the above-mentioned from the cell culture equipment. A step of removing cells non-adherent to the block copolymer (hereinafter, may be referred to as a "removal step") and a step of cooling the cell culture equipment to LCST or less and collecting cells adhering to the block copolymer. (Hereinafter, it may be referred to as a "recovery process") and.

播種工程では、一部の細胞種が接着しない又は接着率が低くなるよう、ブロック共重合体の被覆量、培地中の血清濃度、培養時間の調整などを一つ又は組み合わせて行う。ただし、培養時間に関しては、30分間〜12時間とすることが好ましく、1時間から3時間がより好ましい。 In the seeding step, one or a combination of the amount of the block copolymer coated, the serum concentration in the medium, the culture time, etc. are adjusted so that some cell types do not adhere or the adhesion rate is low. However, the culture time is preferably 30 minutes to 12 hours, more preferably 1 hour to 3 hours.

除去工程では、非接着の細胞を、例えばピペッターを用いて培地ごと回収する方法が例示できる。非接着の細胞除去後はLCST以上から42℃以下のPBS又は培地(血清を含んでいても良い)を先述の細胞培養器材に加えて洗浄してもよい。 In the removal step, a method of collecting the non-adherent cells together with the medium using, for example, a pipettor can be exemplified. After removing the non-adherent cells, PBS or medium (which may contain serum) of LCST or higher and 42 ° C. or lower may be added to the above-mentioned cell culture equipment and washed.

回収工程では、ブロック共重合体に残存した細胞を回収する。冷却する方法は特に限定はなく、冷所で冷却しても良いし、冷却した培地で培地交換することで冷却しても良い。冷却する温度はLCST以下の温度であれば特に限定はないが、残存した細胞の回収を促すため、LCSTより2℃以上低い温度が好ましく、LCSTより4℃以上低い温度がより好ましい。冷却時間は、40分未満が好ましく、20分未満がより好ましく、10分未満がさらに好ましい。冷却後は細胞培養器材から剥離した細胞を回収することができるが、細胞培養器材からの剥離が不完全な場合は、ピペッティングやタッピング、振とうなどの物理的衝撃を加えてもよい。 In the recovery step, the cells remaining in the block copolymer are recovered. The method of cooling is not particularly limited, and cooling may be performed in a cold place or by exchanging the medium with a cooled medium. The cooling temperature is not particularly limited as long as it is a temperature of LCST or less, but in order to promote the recovery of residual cells, a temperature lower than LCST by 2 ° C. or more is preferable, and a temperature lower than LCST by 4 ° C. or more is more preferable. The cooling time is preferably less than 40 minutes, more preferably less than 20 minutes, still more preferably less than 10 minutes.

回収工程で回収した細胞は、さらに本発明の細胞分離方法を繰り返すことで、さらに細胞を分離・精製することができる。二回目の細胞分離を行う際は、一回目の細胞分離の際よりもブロック共重合体のLCSTを示すセグメントの被覆量を同量以上とした細胞培養器材を用いることが好ましい。三回目の細胞分離を行う際は、二回目の細胞分離の際よりもブロック共重合体のLCSTを示すセグメントの被覆量を同量以上とすることが好ましい。例えば3種類の細胞a、b、c(ブロック共重合体への接着性 c>b>a)を培養する場合において、一回目の操作で非接着細胞aを分離し、冷却処理でb及びcの混合物を回収できる。さらに二回目の操作でブロック共重合体のLCSTを示すセグメントの被覆量を上げた細胞培養器材を用いることで、非接着細胞bを分離し、冷却処理でcの混合物を回収できる。 The cells recovered in the recovery step can be further separated and purified by repeating the cell separation method of the present invention. When performing the second cell separation, it is preferable to use a cell culture device having the same amount or more of the coating amount of the segment showing LCST of the block copolymer as compared with the case of the first cell separation. When the third cell separation is performed, it is preferable that the coating amount of the segment showing LCST of the block copolymer is the same or more than that in the second cell separation. For example, when culturing three types of cells a, b, and c (adhesion to block copolymer c> b> a), the non-adhesive cells a are separated by the first operation, and b and c are cooled. Mixtures can be recovered. Furthermore, by using a cell culture device in which the coating amount of the segment showing LCST of the block copolymer is increased in the second operation, the non-adherent cells b can be separated and the mixture of c can be recovered by the cooling treatment.
