Problems solved by technology

However, due to the particularity of liver cell growth, such as adherent growth and the need for collagen support, simple sodium alginate microcapsules cannot maintain their functions for a long time, and there is still a long way to go before they can be used in bioartificial liver systems

Embodiment 2

[0072] Example 2: Preparation and culture of microencapsulated liver cancer cells HepG2

[0073] The cell material used in this example is liver cancer cell HepG2 (HepG2 cells were purchased from the Institute of Cells, Chinese Academy of Sciences). After digestion and centrifugation, the HepG2 cells were mixed with 1.8% sodium alginate mixed solution, and the final concentration was 5×10 6 pcs / ml, load it into figure 1 13 in the 10ml syringe shown. Add 1.1% calcium chloride solution equal to the volume of the syringe 13 in the syringe 12, and inject the soybean oil into the syringe 14.

[0074] Micro injection pump 11 can control the sample loading speed of all syringes. Preferably, syringes 12 and 13 are injected at a speed of 100ul / min (equipped with a common micro injection pump), and syringe 14 is injected at a rate of 55ml / h. Speed ​​bolus injection (a single microbolus injection pump).

[0075] The dispersed phase and the continuous phase solution form microcapsules ...

Embodiment 3

[0078] Example 3: Detection of mechanical strength of microcapsules before and after improvement of microcapsule components

[0079] In this example, the microcapsule damage rate (the ratio of the number of damaged microcapsules to the total number of microcapsules) was used as an index to investigate the mechanical strength of the microcapsules.

[0080] The HepG2 cells were fully mixed with 1.8% sodium alginate solution (before improvement group) and 1.8% sodium alginate mixed solution (after improvement group) respectively, and microcapsules were made respectively according to Example 2. The microcapsules were suspended in DMEM complete medium, and the number of microcapsules in the medium was adjusted to 100 / ml. Take 50ml of the freshly prepared above-mentioned suspension and place it in a 100ml beaker, stir on a magnetic stirrer at low, medium, and high speeds for 1 min, then randomly count the number of damaged microcapsules in 100 microcapsules under a microscope, and r...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of tissue engineering and laboratory equipment, in particular relates to a preparation method of artificial liver cell microfluidic microcapsules and special equipment of the method, a microfluidic microcapsule generator. According to the invention, by utilizing a chemical principle that sodium alginate reacts with calcium chloride to generate a calcium alginate hydrogel, through the design of a microfluidic device, microcapsules stable in size are formed by virtue of the effects such as shear force, surface tension and the like of continuous phase liquid to dispersed phase liquid. According to the artificial liver cell microcapsules prepared by the invention, the function of seed cells in the microcapsules can be maintained for a long time, hazardous substances can be still metabolized under in vitro liver failure similar to the plasma influence and an effect of an inflammatory factor in a body, a certain liver function is maintained, and the artificial liver cell microfluidic microcapsules are hopefully applied to a bioartificial liver system and cell therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tissue engineering and laboratory equipment, in particular to a method for preparing artificial liver cell microfluidic microcapsules and a microfluidic microcapsule generating device. Background technique [0002] Liver failure is a common critical disease with complex conditions and high mortality. Liver transplantation is an effective method for the treatment of liver failure, but clinically there is a severe shortage of donor liver sources, and many patients die while waiting for transplantation. Therefore, it is urgent to invent an effective bioartificial liver support system to temporarily replace liver function, create a good environment for the patient's own liver recovery, or help patients transition smoothly to the transplantation period. The core part of the bioartificial liver support system is the seed cells, which can replace the liver to perform functions such as metabolism, detoxification...
