Problems solved by technology

Induced cells and stem cells are mixed and cultured in a direct contact co-culture system. Although this system is closer to the microenvironment of in vivo cells, the induced cells and stem cells are contaminated with each other and cannot be used in clinical practice.
Although the Transwell co-culture system uses a porous flat membrane to separate the two types of cells, which avoids the problem of cell separation and reflects the interaction between cells and cells and between cells and factors, it lacks the influence of extracellular matrix components and stiffness. Moreover, the concentration distribution of soluble factors between the two types of cells cannot be adjusted, thus limiting the differentiation efficiency of stem cells and the improvement of the functional level of differentiated cells, and this system is expensive, which greatly increases the cost of experiments
[0005] Due to the above-mentioned main defects in the existing cell co-culture system, which severely limits the further development and application of stem cell directed differentiation technology in vitro, it is urgent to develop a convenient and practical multi-angle simulation of cells between cells, cells and extracellular matrix in the microenvironment of cells in vivo A new method of in vitro cell co-cultivation based on the interaction between cells and soluble factors, in order to realize the regulation of stem cell directional pre-differentiation in vitro, and further promote the application of stem cells in the field of regenerative medicine

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for inducing in vitro directional differentiation of stem cells by cell co-culture. An annular gasket is arranged on a bottom of a culture dish. Firstly, stem cells are inoculated in an annular zone and are cultured in an incubator. When the stem cells attach a culture dish wall, a mixed solution containing agarose and sodium alginate is added to the annular zone. When the mixed solution is solidified, a calcium chloride solution is added for a carrying out a calcification reaction and a chitosan is added for carrying out a reaction to form an agarose / sodium alginate / chitosan flat composite gel layer on the stem cells. Inductive cells are inoculated on a surface of the composite gel. By means of the co-culture of the inductive cells and the stem cells, interactions among in vivo cells and between cells and soluble factors can be simulated. By means of the polysaccharide-based agarose / sodium alginate / chitosan flat composite gel, an in vivo extracellular matrix can be simulated. The directional differentiation of the stem cells can be adjusted and controlled through rigidity and thickness of the composite gel. Meanwhile, isolated co-culture of the stem cells and the inductive cells can be achieved so that differentiated cells are easy to collect. The method has an important effect in application of regenerative medicine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of regenerative medicine, and relates to a method for co-cultivating cells to induce directional differentiation of stem cells in vitro. Background technique [0002] Stem cells are ideal seed cells for regenerative medicine due to their ability to self-renew and differentiate into various types of cells such as nerve, cardiac muscle, liver, islet, osteoblast, cartilage or fat. However, due to the uncontrollable spontaneous differentiation of stem cells, when stem cells are implanted into damaged tissues in the body, stem cells not only differentiate into the required cell types and participate in tissue repair, but also differentiate into other types of cells, and even have high tumorigenicity. sex. Pre-differentiation of stem cells in vitro, so that they can be pre-differentiated into the desired type of cells or their precursor cells before transplantation, can improve the efficiency of directed differentiation, r...
