Abstract

The development of a microplatform with multifunctional integration allowing the dynamic and high-throughput exploration of three-dimensional (3D) cultures is promising for biomedical research. Here, we introduce an integrated microfluidic 3D tumor system with pneumatic manipulation and chemical gradient generation to investigate anticancer therapy in a parallel, controllable, dynamic, and high-throughput manner. The stability of the microfluidic system to realize precise and long-term chemical gradient production was developed. Serial manipulations including active cell trapping, array-like tumor self-assembly and formation, reliable gradient generation, parallel multi-concentration drug stimulation, and real-time tumor analysis were achieved in a single microfluidic device. The microfluidic platform was demonstrated to be stable for high-throughput cell trapping and 3D tumor formation with uniform quantities. On-chip analysis of phenotypic tumor responses to diverse chemotherapies with different concentrations can be conducted in this device. The microfluidic advancement holds great potential for applications in the development of high-performance and multi-functional biomimetic tumor systems and in the fields of cancer research and pharmaceutical development.

摘要

开发一种具有多功能集成的微平台,用于对三维(3D)培养物进行动态和高通量探索,这对生物医学研究具有重要意义。在此,我们介绍一种具有气动操纵和化学梯度生成功能的集成微流控3D肿瘤系统,以并行、可控、动态和高通量的方式研究抗癌治疗。开发了用于实现精确和长期化学梯度产生的微流控系统的稳定性。在单个微流控装置中实现了包括活性细胞捕获、阵列状肿瘤自组装和形成、可靠的梯度生成、并行多浓度药物刺激以及实时肿瘤分析在内的一系列操作。该微流控平台被证明对于高通量细胞捕获和均匀数量的3D肿瘤形成是稳定的。在此装置中可以对不同浓度的多种化疗药物的肿瘤表型反应进行芯片上分析。微流控技术的进步在高性能和多功能仿生肿瘤系统的开发以及癌症研究和药物开发领域具有巨大的应用潜力。
