Matrigen-为何要给细胞提供柔软舒适的培养环境

技术文章

Why grow soft?


科学家一直都在研究用天然的或者合成的基质环境来培养细胞,从而能诱导细胞呈现应有的形态,这是在刚性的培养材质上是做不到的。不幸的是,让细胞生长在柔软的基质里或基质表面不仅价格昂贵,而且是很不切实际的。

Softwell克服了这些挑战。它可以让您的研究在柔软的环境下细胞的行为。进一步讲,它提供了不同柔软度的环境,引导您发现不同类型细胞的形态,可以进行以下研究:


1. 干细胞自我更新(Stem cell self-renewal)[1,2]
2. 血统规格(Lineage specification)[3]
3. 癌细胞表性(Cancer cell phenotype)[4,5,6]
4. 纤维化(Fibrosis)[7,8]
5. 肝细胞功能(Hepatocyte function)[9,10,11]
6. 机械敏感性(Mechanosensing)[12,13,14]


引人注目的是,细胞是能够感知环境柔软度的改变并有所响应,您可以索要获奖微电影链接。

Soft substrates for stem cells

改变干细胞培养环境的柔软度(matrix stiffness),可以控制干细胞命运。提供给干细胞舒适的柔软度,如下:


促进自我更新:取自小鼠的肌肉干细胞,给其提供zui舒适的柔软环境(E=12kPa),如同在体内,有自我更新修复的能力[1];
维持多能性:在E=0.6kPa的基质上培养小鼠胚胎干细胞,在不添加外源性LIF因子的情况下,仍能形成同源性未分化克隆[2];
Direct lineage specification:成年人间充质干细胞培养在不同弹性(柔软度)的基质上培养,如E=1,E=11和E43时,分别会直接向神经性,肌源性和成骨性分化[3]。
