- Nanofiber The nanofiber contained in the medium composition of the present invention exhibits an effect of uniformly floating cells and / or tissues in a liquid medium. More specifically, low-molecular compounds and high-molecular compounds are assembled and self-assembled to form nanofibers in a liquid medium through covalent bonds, ionic bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, etc. Examples of the nanofibers contained in the medium composition of the present invention include nanofibers obtained by refining a relatively large fiber structure made of a polymer compound by high-pressure treatment or the like.

If the aspect ratio is less than 2, the dispersibility in the medium composition may be lacking, and the floating action may not be sufficiently obtained. If it exceeds 500, it means that the fiber length becomes extremely large, and there is a possibility that the passage operation such as medium replacement may be hindered by increasing the viscosity of the composition. In addition, the medium composition is difficult to transmit visible light, leading to a decrease in transparency, making it difficult to observe cultured cells over time and hindering cell evaluation using absorption, fluorescence, luminescence, etc. there is a possibility.
- the average fiber diameter (D) of the nanofibers was determined as follows. First, the collodion support membrane manufactured by Oken Shoji Co., Ltd. was hydrophilized with an ion cleaner (JIC-410) manufactured by JEOL Ltd. for 3 minutes, and several nanofiber dispersions to be evaluated (diluted with ultrapure water) were used. The solution was dropped and dried at room temperature. This was observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM, H-8000) (10,000 times) manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd. at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV.

また、上記高分子化合物は、必要に応じて滅菌処理を施してもよい。滅菌方法は特に制限はなく、例えば、放射線滅菌、エチレンオキサイドガス滅菌、オートクレーブ滅菌、フィルター滅菌等が挙げられる。
本発明は、上記本発明の培地組成物を用いて、細胞又は組織を増殖させる培養方法;得られる細胞又は組織を、例えばろ過、遠心又は磁性分離により、回収する方法;本発明の培地組成物を用いて、スフェアを製造する方法をも提供するものである。
また、スフェアを形成させる培養の際に用いる培地中に、スフェアの形成を早める、或いはその維持を促進する成分を含有させることもできる。このような効果を有する成分の例としては、ジメチルスルホキシド、スーパーオキシドジムスターゼ、セルロプラスミン、カタラーゼ、ペルオキシダーゼ、L-アスコルビン酸、L-アスコルビン酸リン酸エステル、トコフェロール、フラボノイド、尿酸、ビリルビン、含セレン化合物、トランスフェリン、不飽和脂肪酸、アルブミン、テオフィリン、フォルスコリン、グルカゴン、ヂブチルリルcAMP、Y27632、Fasudil(HA1077)、H-1152、Wf-536等のROCK阻害剤などを挙げることができる。含セレン化合物としては、亜セレン酸ナトリウム、セレン酸ナトリウム、ジメチルセレニド、セレン化水素、セレノメチオニン、Se― メチルセレノシステイン、セレノシスタチオニン、セレノシステイン、セレノホモシステイン、アデノシン-5’-ホスホセレン酸、Se―アデノシルセレノメチオニンが挙げられる。また、目的とするサイズの均一な細胞凝集塊を得るためには、使用する細胞非付着性培養容器上に、目的とする細胞凝集塊と同一径の複数の凹みを導入することもできる。これらの凹みが互いに接しているか、あるいは目的とする細胞凝集塊の直径の範囲内であれば、細胞を播種した際、播種した細胞は凹みと凹みの間で細胞凝集塊を形成することなく、確実に凹みの中でその容積に応じた大きさの細胞凝集塊を形成し、均一サイズの細胞凝集塊集団を得ることができる。この際の凹みの形状としては半球または円錐上が好ましい。
また、フィーダー細胞と共培養することにより、スフェアを形成させることもできる。スフェア形成を促進させるためのフィーダー細胞としては、如何なる接着性細胞でも用いることが可能であるが、好適には各種細胞に応じたフィーダー細胞が望ましい。限定されるものではないが、例えば肝臓や軟骨由来の細胞のスフェアを形成させる場合、そのフィーダー細胞の例としてはCOS-1細胞や血管内皮細胞が好適な細胞種として挙げられる。
さらに、本発明のナノファイバーを含有する培養組成物を用いてスフェアを形成させることもできる。その際、当該ナノファイバーの濃度が、細胞の浮遊培養(好ましくは浮遊静置培養)を可能とする濃度となるように、当該ナノファイバーをスフェア形成の際に用いる培地中に添加すれば良い。例えば、当該ナノファイバーの濃度が、通常0.0001%乃至1.0%(重量/容量)、例えば0.0005%乃至1.0%(重量/容量)、好ましくは0.001%乃至0.3%(重量/容量)、より好ましくは0.005%乃至0.1%(重量/容量)、さらに好ましくは0.01%乃至0.05%(重量/容量)となるように、当該ナノファイバーをスフェア形成の際に用いる培地中に添加すれば良い。スフェアは、当該ナノファイバーを含む培地中に目的とする細胞を均一に分散させ、3日間乃至10日間静置して培養することにより調製される。ここで調製されたスフェアは、遠心やろ過処理を行うことにより、回収することができる。例えば、遠心する際の重力加速度(G)は100乃至400Gであり、ろ過処理をする際に用いるフィルターの細孔の大きさは10μm乃至100μmであるが、これらに制限されることは無い。また、目的とする細胞に特異的に結合する抗体を表面上にコーティングした磁性微粒子を用いて、磁力により培養したスフェアを回収することができる。この様な磁性微粒子の例としては、ダイナビーズ(ヴェリタス社製)、MACSマイクロビーズ(ミルテニーバイオテク社製)、BioMag(テクノケミカル社製)等が挙げられる。
このようなスフェアは、そのまま静置培養を続けることでも10日以上、好ましくは13日以上、さらに好ましくは30日以上の期間において増殖能を保持し得るが、さらに静置培養中に定期的に機械的分割を行うことで、またはさらに単細胞化処理と凝集を行うことで、実質的に無期限に増殖能を保持し得る。
スフェアの培養に用いられる培養容器は、一般的に動物細胞の培養が可能なものであれば特に限定されないが、例えば、フラスコ、ディッシュ、ペトリデッシュ、組織培養用ディッシュ、マルチディッシュ、マイクロプレート、マイクロウエルプレート、マルチプレート、マルチウエルプレート、チャンバースライド、シャーレ、チューブ、トレイ、培養バック、ローラーボトル等が挙げられる。
スフェアの静置培養に用いられる培地は、細胞接着因子を含むことが可能であり、その例としては、マトリゲル、コラーゲンゲル、ゼラチン、ポリ-L-リジン、ポリ-D-リジン、ラミニン、フィブロネクチンが挙げられる。これらの細胞接着因子は、2種類以上を組み合わせて添加することもできる。また更に、スフェアの培養に用いられる培地に対してグァーガム、タマリンドガム、アルギン酸プロピレングリコールエステル、ローカストビーンガム、アラビアガム、タラガム、メチルセルロース等の増粘剤を更に混合することができる。
本発明のナノファイバーを含有する培地組成物を用いることにより、振とう等の操作を行わずに均一に培養液中に分散することができるため、目的とする細胞及び/又は組織を細胞機能の損失無くスフェアとして培養することができる。本法により静置培養されたスフェアは、培養後に遠心やろ過処理を行うことにより、回収することができる。この際、用いた液体培地を加えた後、遠心やろ過処理を行ってもよい。例えば、遠心する際の重力加速度(G)は100乃至400Gであり、ろ過処理をする際に用いるフィルターの細孔の大きさは10μm乃至100μmであるが、これらに制限されることは無い。また、目的とする細胞に特異的に結合する抗体を表面上にコーティングした磁性微粒子を用いて、磁力により培養したスフェアを回収することができる。この様な磁性微粒子の例としては、ダイナビーズ(ヴェリタス社製)、MACSマイクロビーズ(ミルテニーバイオテク社製)、BioMag(テクノケミカル社製)等が挙げられる。回収されたスフェアは、更に各種キレート剤、熱、フィルターや酵素等の処理を用いて解すことにより単一な細胞として分散させることができる。
本発明の培地組成物を用いて静置培養を開始する際に接種される植物細胞塊の量は、目的の細胞の増殖速度、培養様式(回分培養、流加培養、連続培養等)、培養期間などに応じて変動するが、例えば、カルス等の植物細胞塊を培養する場合、本発明の培地組成物に対する細胞塊の湿重量が4~8(重量/容積(w/v))%、好ましくは5~7(w/v)%となるように本発明の培地組成物に接種される。培養の際の植物細胞塊の粒径は3mm乃至40mm、好ましくは3mm乃至20mm、より好ましくは5mm乃至15mmである。ここで「粒径」とは、例えば植物細胞塊が球形である場合はその直径を意味し、楕円球形である場合にはその長径を意味し、その他の形状においても同様にとり得る最大長を意味する。
また、本発明は、上記本発明の培地組成物を用いた、細胞または組織を保存する保存方法および輸送方法を提供する。本発明の保存又は輸送方法においては、本発明の培地組成物を用いることにより、細胞や組織を浮遊状態で(好ましくは、浮遊静置状態で)、保存又は輸送することができる。
