摘要: 细胞体外三维培养是药物筛选的重要环节, 目前研究多采用微孔板作为细胞生长环境。而常规的兼容微孔板的开放式微流控体系使用实体模具生成三维结构并且手动移液, 存在实验周期长、效率低的缺点。文章提出了一种基于微孔板的自动化三维细胞打印及加样系统, 该系统集成了数字光处理(Digital Light Processing, DLP)生物3D打印技术和全自动液体工作站。通过甲级丙烯酰化明胶(GelMA)载细胞打印, 证明该系统精度可达100μm且单孔实验时间在15分钟之内, 利用该系统构建了肿瘤团簇模型以及血管内皮细胞和肿瘤细胞的共培养模型。Abstract: Three-dimensional cell culture in vitro is an important part of drug screening, and microwell plate is mainly used as the cell growth environment in current studies. The conventional open microfluidic system compatible with microwell plate uses a mold to generate three-dimensional structure and manually pipette liquid, which needs long experiment period and low efficiency. The article proposes an automated cell 3 D printing and sample adding system based on microwell plate, which integrates DLP biological 3 D printing technology and a fully automated liquid workstation. Through cell printing of GelMA, it is proved that the accuracy of the system can reach 100 μm and the single-hole experiment time is within 15 minutes. The tumor cluster model and the co-culture model of vascular endothelial cells and tumor cells are constructed using this system.
