Matrigen Life Technologies-为何要给细胞提供柔软舒适的培养环境
发布时间:2015-08-28 16:34 | 点击次数:1500
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。
Matrigen Life Technologies的Softwell的系列产品克服了这些挑战。它可以让您高效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,可进行以下研究:
干细胞自我更新(Stem cell self-renewal)[1,2]
血统规格(Lineage specification)[3]
癌细胞表性(Cancer cell phenotype)[4,5,6]
纤维化(Fibrosis)[7,8]
肝细胞功能(Hepatocyte function)[9,10,11]
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,您可以看下面这个获奖的电影:机械敏感性(Mechanosensing)。
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,给其提供最舒适的柔软环境(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]。
