Real-time cell-microelectronic sensing of nanoparticle-induced cytotoxic effects

We report a real-time cell analysis (RTCA) sensing method of 96 electronic microwells for profiling the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles on different cell lines. The method consists of 96 microwells embedded with microelectrodes (96x E-plate) to measure impedance changes of adherent cell lines. When the testing cells change in population, adhesion, and/or morphology, the impedance at the cell–electrode interface changes to provide real-time monitoring of overall cell status. To demonstrate this technique, we used three cell lines as sensing probes: two human lung carcinoma cell lines, A549 and SK-MES-1, and a normal mammalian cell line, CHO-K1. We tested two well-characterized nanoparticles: nano-titanium dioxide (nTiO₂) and nano-silver (nAg). The three cell lines were separately seeded into 96x E-plates and treated with varying concentrations of nanoparticles (0.078–160 μg mL⁻¹). This method provides dynamic cell response profiles and temporal IC₅₀ histograms, showing concentration-, time-, particle-, and cell-dependent cytotoxicity. The 24 h and 48 h IC₅₀ values of nAg obtained using both the RTCA and the neutral red uptake (NRU) assays were in good agreement, validating the RTCA technique. The RTCA assay does not suffer interference from nTiO₂, whereas the NRU assay cannot be used due to severe interference from nTiO₂. A cytostatic response was observed in CHO-K1 cells after 24 h exposure to 40 μg mL⁻¹ nTiO₂, which was correlated with S-phase cell cycle arrest based on cell cycle analysis using flow cytometry. This suggests that the shapes of the response curves provide indicative information, directing further studies into the mode of action of the toxicant. Advantages of the RTCA technique over traditional colorimetric assays for screening the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles include minimizing interference, qualitative and quantitative cytotoxicity data, and the capability of real-time and high-throughput measurements.

Application of silicate electrospun nanofibers for cell culture

Silicate produced via the sol–gel process is a biocompatible material that has high purity and high homogeneity. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of electrospun fibers of silicate formed into silicate nonwoven fabrics (SNF) developed via the sol–gel process as substrates for substance production using Chinese hamster ovarian cells CHO-K1, and as substrates for producing drug metabolism simulators from the human cell line HepG2. We compared the adherent and proliferation profiles of the two cell types on SNF with those profiles produced on a hydroxyapatite-pulp composite fiber sheet (HAPS). During 14 days of cultivation, a greater number of CHO-K1 and HepG2 cells continued to grow on SNF compared to those on HAPS. Per unit volume, the HepG2 cells on SNF showed higher hepatic-specific functions than those on HAPS. These results demonstrate the feasibility of SNF as a cell culture substrate for substrate production, and for producing drug metabolism simulators.     

Efficiency of DNA Transfection of Rat Heart Myoblast Cells H9c2(2-1) by Either Polyethyleneimine or Electroporation

Expression of exogenous DNA in vitro is significantly affected by the particular transfection method utilized. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of two transfection methods, chemically mediated polyethyleneimine (PEI) treatment and physically mediated electroporation, on a rat heart myoblast cell line, H9c2(2-1). After PEI transfection of pPgk-1/EGFP into H9c2(2-1) cells, EGFP expression could be easily detected by fluorospectrometer after 48 h (210 ± 12 RFU) and continued to increase after 72 h (243 ± 14 RFU). However, when H9c2(2-1) cells were transfected by electroporation (200 V, 500 μF, and one pulse), low level EGFP expression was observed after 48 h (49 ± 4 RFU) or 72 h (21 ± 14 RFU). In contrast, the easily transfectable control CHO-K1 cell line displayed a stronger EGFP expression than the H9c2(2-1) cells either by PEI or electroporation transfection. When transfection efficiencies were assayed by flow cytometry after 72 h, 13.6 ± 2.2% of PEI and 10.1 ± 1.5% of electroporation (250 V, 500 μF, and two pulses) transfected cells of H9c2(2-1) expressed EGFP, and PEI-transfected cells appeared to be less damaged (viability 93.6%) as compared to electroporation-transfected cells (39.5%). However, both PEI and electroporation (580 V, 50 Ω, and 50 μF) were effective for transfection of CHO-K1 with a higher efficiency, cell viability, and EGFP expression than H9c2(2-1). Our results indicate that the transfection efficiency of different methods varies among cell lines and that PEI is more efficient than electropolation for transfection of H9c2(2-1) whereas both PEI and electroporation are suitable for CHO-K1 transfection.     

Recruitment of endogenous stem cells for tissue repair

The traditional concept of stem cell therapy envisions the isolation of stem cells from patients, propagation and differentiation in vitro, and subsequent re-injection of autologous cells into the patient. There are many problems associated with this paradigm, particularly during the in vitro manipulation process and the delivery and local retention of re-injected cells. An alternative paradigm that could be easier, safer, and more efficient, would involve attracting endogenous stem cells and precursor cells to the defect site for new tissue regeneration. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a pleiotropic cytokine of mesenchymal origin, exerts a strong chemoattractive effect on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and neural stem cells (NSCs), and induces migration of MSCs in vitro. However, HGF undergoes rapid proteolysis in vivo, which results in a very short lifetime of the bioactive cytokine. To maintain the therapeutic level of HGF at the defect site necessary for endogenous stem cell recruitment, sustained, long-term, and localized delivery of HGF is required. Thiol-modified glycosaminoglycans hyaluronan (HA) and heparin (HP), combined with modified gelatin (Gtn), have been crosslinked with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) to afford semisynthetic ECM-like (sECM) hydrogels that can both provide controlled growth factor release and permit cell infiltration and proliferation. Herein we compare the use of different sECM compositions for controlled release of HGF and concomitant recruitment of human bone marrow MSCs into the scaffold in vitro. [Figure: see text].

The Evidence of the Bystander Effect after Bleomycin Electrotransfer and Irreversible Electroporation

One of current applications of electroporation is electrochemotherapy and electroablation for local cancer treatment. Both of these electroporation modalities share some similarities with radiation therapy, one of which could be the bystander effect. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of the bystander effect following these electroporation-based treatments. During direct CHO-K1 cell treatment, cells were electroporated using one 100 µs duration square wave electric pulse at 1400 V/cm (for bleomycin electrotransfer) or 2800 V/cm (for irreversible electroporation). To evaluate the bystander effect, the medium was taken from directly treated cells after 24 h incubation and applied on unaffected cells. Six days after the treatment, cell viability and colony sizes were evaluated using the cell colony formation assay. The results showed that the bystander effect after bleomycin electrotransfer had a strong negative impact on cell viability and cell colony size, which decreased to 2.8% and 23.1%, respectively. On the contrary, irreversible electroporation induced a strong positive bystander effect on cell viability, which increased to 149.3%. In conclusion, the results presented may serve as a platform for further analysis of the bystander effect after electroporation-based therapies and may ultimately lead to refined application of these therapies in clinics.

Integrated microfluidic cell culture and lysis on a chip

We present an integrated microfluidic cell culture and lysis platform for automated cell analysis that improves on systems which require multiple reagents and manual procedures. Through the combination of previous technologies developed in our lab (namely, on-chip cell culture and electrochemical cell lysis) we have designed, fabricated, and characterized an integrated microfluidic platform capable of culturing HeLa, MCF-7, Jurkat, and CHO-K1 cells for up to five days and subsequently lysing the cells without the need to add lysing reagents. On-demand lysis was accomplished by local hydroxide ion generation within microfluidic chambers, releasing both proteinacious (GFP) and genetic (Hoescht-stained DNA) material. Sample proteins exposed to the electrochemical lysis conditions were immunodetectable (p53) and their enzymatic activity (HRP) was investigated.     

Synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of oxime,methyloxime, and amide‐containing quinazolinones

Certain oxime, methyloxime, and amide‐containing quinazolinone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their antiproliferative activities against a panel of human cancer cell lines including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC‐TW01), lung carcinoma (NCI‐H226), and leukemia (Jurkat). Quinazolinone 2 was inactive against all three cell lines tested, while quinazolinone 4 was weakly active against both Jurkat and H226 cancer cells with IC₅₀ values of 6.55 and 12.27 μM, respectively, indicating that the oxime derivative 4 is more favorable than its ketone precursor 2 . Our results have also indicated that quinazolinone 8g and its biphenyl counterpart 8f exhibited more potent antiproliferative activities than the positive control methotrexate against all three cancer cell lines tested. Among these quinazolinone derivatives, 8g was the most active against NPC‐TW01 with an IC₅₀ value of 4.78 μM. Further study on NPC‐TW01 cell cycle distribution indicated that the compound 8g induced cell arrest at the G1/G0 phase in a time‐ and concentration‐dependent manner. Moreover, a characteristic hypo‐diploid DNA content peak (sub‐G1) was found to increase from 1 to 4% in NPC‐TW01 cells treated with 8g for 72 hr. These results indicate that 8g can induce cells arrest in the G1/G0 phase and cause cell death. Further structural optimization of 8g and detailed study of its antiproliferative mechanism are going on.
