Abstract

Micropipette aspiration (MPA) is one of the gold standards for quantifying biological samples' mechanical properties, which are crucial from the cell membrane scale to the multicellular tissue. However, relying on the manipulation of individual home-made glass pipettes, MPA suffers from low throughput and no automation. Here, we introduce the sliding insert micropipette aspiration method, which permits parallelization and automation, thanks to the insertion of tubular pipettes, obtained by photolithography, within microfluidic channels. We show its application both at the lipid bilayer level, by probing vesicles to measure membrane bending and stretching moduli, and at the tissue level by quantifying the viscoelasticity of 3D cell aggregates. This approach opens the way to high-throughput, quantitative mechanical testing of many types of biological samples, from vesicles and individual cells to cell aggregates and explants, under dynamic physico-chemical stimuli.

摘要

微量移液器抽吸法(MPA)是量化生物样品机械性能的金标准之一,这些性能从细胞膜尺度到多细胞组织都至关重要。然而,由于依赖于单个自制玻璃移液器的操作,MPA存在通量低且无自动化的问题。在此,我们介绍了滑动插入式微量移液器抽吸法,由于通过光刻获得的管状移液器插入微流体通道中,该方法允许并行化和自动化。我们展示了其在脂质双层水平上的应用,通过探测囊泡来测量膜弯曲和拉伸模量,以及在组织水平上通过量化三维细胞聚集体的粘弹性来应用。这种方法为在动态物理化学刺激下对从囊泡、单个细胞到细胞聚集体和外植体等多种类型的生物样品进行高通量、定量机械测试开辟了道路。
