Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for culturing cells in a spinner flask and, in particular, relates to a multi-compartment container for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture under dynamic conditions.
  • the invention also relates to the use of the container, kits and spinner flasks comprising the container, and a method of culturing cells using the container.
  • Bioreactors can be designed in order to create spatially uniform cell distributions within 3D scaffolds, enhance the diffusion of gases, nutrients and biochemical factors from the culture medium into the construct interior, and also promote continuous removal of cellular metabolites. Moreover, within certain bioreactors, samples can additionally be exposed to appropriate physical stimuli.
  • US Patent Application Number 2010/0028992 discloses the broad concept of a spinner flask carrying a perforated cell-culturing basket.
  • this document does not disclose the use of a perforated lid to prevent free-floating samples from escaping.
  • this document does not disclose a disc-shaped holder arrangement with multiple but individual chambers for easy deposit and recovery of cell-loaded samples and establishment of 3D co-cultures. Additionally, it does not suggest the stacking of multiple containers or the modification of a standard spinner flask system, in particular, a modified impeller assembly.
  • the present invention provides a container for culturing cell samples in a 3D matrix in a spinner flask, the container comprising a plurality of chambers for containing the cell samples, wherein at least one of the walls of the chambers are perforated to allow culture media to enter the chambers through the perforations from outside the container, and wherein the container comprises one or more detachable lids which, when detached, open the top of the chambers to allow cell samples to be placed directly into or removed from the chambers.
  • the container and, in particular, the chambers in which the cell samples are cultured provides a means of protecting delicate/fragile samples from the turbulent environment generated by the stirring process, expanding the versatility of spinner- flask systems. Further, since cell samples can be loaded individually into the chambers, each sample can be manipulated over the course of culturing independently of the samples in the other chambers. This is due to the fact that the cell sample in each chamber is physically isolated from the cell samples in other chambers.
  • the container comprises a body within which a plurality of cavities are defined. These cavities form the chambers within the container once they are closed by the lid(s) of the container.
  • the cavities/chambers are distinct from one another.
  • the body of the container may be formed from a single piece of material into which the cavities (or chambers) have been formed.
  • the cavities in the body may be completely open at the top, i.e. they may not have a structure defining a surface, which closes the top of the cavity. Put another way, the face of the cavity, which would form the top, may not be present.
  • the body of the container can have the one or more detachable lids attached thereto to close the cavities, thus forming the closed chambers.
  • the one or more lids when attached to the body of the container, provide a top face to the cavities to form the closed chambers.
  • the one or more detachable lids attach to the top of the body of the container to close the top of the cavities (or chambers).
  • the chambers are opened to form open cavities into which 3D matrices of cells can be place or removed.
  • the fact that the top of each of the chambers is open allows cell samples to be loaded into the container more easily as they can be loaded without manipulating the container.
  • the presence of one or more lids allow samples to be loaded into the cavities which are then closed off with the one or more lids to form closed chambers. This is particularly advantageous as free-floating samples such as hydrogels can be placed into the chambers and cultured without the risk of the samples floating out of the chambers.
  • cavities and “chambers” have been used when referring to the portion of the container in which the cell samples are contained and cultured.
  • the term “cavity” is intended to mean that there is an open face present, for example, when the lid is detached, to allow cell samples to be inserted into or removed from the cavity.
  • the term “chamber” is intended to mean that the faces defining the chamber are present, for example, when the lid is attached, so that the cell samples in the chamber are physically isolated from the exterior of the chamber in use and cannot escape from the chamber.
  • the skilled person will appreciate that in order to put cell samples into the chamber, it is necessary to open the chamber.
  • the chamber may be referred to in its open state, for example, as an open chamber. The skilled person will realise from the context in which it is used the intended meaning of each of these terms.
  • the container is for culturing cells in a spinner flask.
  • the container should be sized so that it can fit into a spinner flask.
  • the dimensions of the container are dependent on those of the spinner flask and, in particular, the dimensions of the central opening of the spinner flask.
  • the outer diameter of the container is about 20-30 mm.
  • the outer diameter (OD) of the container is about 22-28 mm or about 24-26 mm. More preferably, the outer diameter of the container is about 25 mm.
  • the overall height (OAH) of the container may be about 4-8 mm or about 5-7 mm.
  • the overall height of the container is about 6 mm.
  • spinner flasks are widely available from a number of manufacturers. Since the container can be used in spinner flasks and, in particular, small volume spinner flasks, this allows the use of a small volume of culture media to culture the cells. This is a significant advantage as some culture media, such as culture media for stem cells, is relatively expensive.
  • the container and, in particular, the chambers in the container, are for culturing cell samples in a 3D matrix.
  • Suitable 3D matrices in which cells can be cultured can be made of polymers (natural or synthetic), ceramics, or composites.
  • the 3D matrix can be in the form of: a hydrogel, a porous 3D scaffold, a rapid-prototyping scaffold, a foam, a sponge, a mesh, microparticles, fiber-like networks, and combinations thereof, for example, microparticle-loaded hydrogels.
  • the container can also be used to culture other biological samples such as tissue biopsies, cell clusters and prototissues.
  • the cells are cultured in hydrogel-like matrices.
  • the chambers in the container can be used to culture any type of cells in a 3D matrix.
  • Such cells include attachment-dependent cells, for example, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), endothelial cells, fibroblasts, neuronal cells, hepatocytes, condrocytes, smooth-muscle cells, cancer cells, etc.
  • Further cells include suspension cells which can be entrapped in the 3D matrix, for example, hematopoietic stem cells and different types of blood cells.
  • the chambers in the container may also be useful for the 3D culture of non-mammalian cells, such as plant, bacterial, yeast and viral cultures.
  • the container comprises a plurality of chambers for containing and culturing the cell samples.
  • the container may comprise 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more chambers.
  • the container comprises six chambers.
  • Each chamber has perforations in at least one of the walls.
  • each chamber has perforations in the bottom, side and top walls of the chamber.
  • the perforations in at least one of the walls of the chambers are intended to allow culture media to enter the chambers through the perforations from outside the container. Equally, culture media can leave the chambers through the perforations returning to the outside of the container. This permits fluid perfusion through the 3D cell-material constructs which are contained in the chambers.
  • one or more of the bottom, side and top walls of the chambers can be perforated. Further, two or more of the bottom, side and top walls of the chambers can be perforated.
  • the bottom, side and top walls of the chambers have perforations therein.
  • the top wall of the chambers is formed by the one or more lids of the container. Therefore, the one or more lids can have perforations therein.
  • the perforations may be over the whole top surface of the one or more lids so that the one or more lids can be placed in any orientation while still having the perforations located in the top surface of the chambers.
  • the terms “bottom”, “side” and “top” in the context of the container are used with reference to the orientation of the container when it is in use. For example, when the lid of the container is described as attaching to the top of the container, this is the top of the container in its normal and intended orientation in use. Further, with respect to the walls of the chambers, again the terms “bottom”, “side” and “top” are used with reference to their orientation in use.
  • the size and number of perforations in the walls of the chambers should be sufficiently large to allow culture media to enter the chambers through the perforations from outside the container in a sufficient amount to allow all the cells in the 3D matrix to obtain all the nutrients they require from the culture media and to grow as desired.
  • the size of the perforations should not be so large that some or all of the cell sample in the chamber can escape through the perforations.
  • the size of the perforations should not be so large that the agitation of the culture media outside the container can exert significant shear forces on the cell samples in the chambers of the container.
  • the perforations may have a variety of shapes. The most common is the simple perforation (a simple opening), e.g. a substantially circular hole in the chamber wall.
  • the number of perforations may vary according to the chambers size. Typically, there may be about 20-30 perforations in the walls of the chamber.
  • the size (i.e. diameter or cross sectional dimensions) of the perforations may be between about 0.2 mm and about 1.2 mm. Preferably, the perforations are about 0.5- 1.0 mm. Preferably, the perforations are spherical.
  • the chambers of the container are physically isolated from each other within the container so that culture media cannot flow directly from one chamber into another chamber.
  • the perforations in the walls of the chambers only allow fluid communication between the outside of the container and the inside of the chamber. There are no perforations between the chambers. Therefore, no direct fluid communication can occur between the inside of two adjacent chambers.
  • the compartmentalisation of the samples in this way enables the establishment of more complex 3D cultures, such as indirect contact co-cultures using different types of cells sharing the same microenvironment.
  • Two different cell types can be inserted into two of the chambers. Any molecules secreted by the first cell type will be released into the culture media, i.e. the microenvironment. These molecules may then influence the culturing of the second cell type as the secreted molecules will perfuse into the chamber of the second cell type from outside the chamber.
  • the container can also be used to perform advanced 3D co-cultures, as it facilitates the biochemical communication between adjacent chambers, which may contain cells of different types maintained physically separated from one another.
  • the chambers of the container may be arranged in substantially the same horizontal plane when in use so that each of the chambers can be accessed independently when the one or more lids is detached. In other words, the chambers are positioned horizontally adjacent to each other when the container is orientated as it would be in use. As indicated above, this allows cell samples to be loaded into the container more easily as they can be loaded without manipulating the orientation of the container.
  • the chambers of the container may be any suitable size for containing 3D matrices of cells.
  • the size of the chambers depends on the overall size of the container, and the chambers can have different shapes and sizes.
  • the chambers are disc-shaped having a diameter of about 4-8 mm or about 5-7 mm.
  • the disc-shaped chamber have a diameter of about 6 mm.
  • the chambers may have a height of about 4-8 mm or about 5-7 mm.
