The invention discloses a method for culturing a contrast agent damage model based on
renal tubular epithelial cells. The method includes the steps of: (1) conducting HK-2
cell resuscitation; (2) performing
cell subculture; (3) observing the culture period
cell morphology under a
microscope, when the cell edge crumples become round and the refractivity is enhanced, conducting
centrifugation, and adding a complete medium to make a cell resuspension solution; (4) transferring the cell resuspension solution into a complete medium according to an
inoculation density of 40%-50%; (5) when the
cell growth density reaches 80%-90%, performing
centrifugation, adding a complete medium to prepare a cell resuspension solution (with a
cell concentration of 1.0-1.5*10<6> / ml); and (6) inoculating every 40-60microl of the prepared cell resuspension solution into a 2ml complete medium, conducting culture for 40-50h, then conducting replacing with a serum-
free medium and performing culture for 4-8h, thenadding a 45-55mgI / ml
iodixanol solution, and further conducting culture for 5-7h, thus obtaining damage model cells. The method provided by the invention can culture the
cell damage model that has similar content to contrast-induced
nephropathy patient postoperative serum HMGB-1 content, closer damage and fewer
system toxins.
