Description

本発明は細胞培養支持体の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a cell culture support.

本発明者らは既に放射線を用いて温度応答性ポリマーを基材表面にグラフト化させる製造方法において、表面に共有結合させるモノマーを基材に均一にコートし、均質で安定的なグラフト表面を得るために、重合前のモノマーを含有する塗布用組成物にオリゴマー又はプレポリマーを混入させることが良いということを発明し、特許出願済みである(特願2007-066700号)。   In the production method in which a temperature-responsive polymer is already grafted onto a substrate surface using radiation, the present inventors uniformly coat the substrate with a monomer to be covalently bonded to the surface to obtain a homogeneous and stable graft surface. Therefore, it has been invented that an oligomer or a prepolymer is preferably mixed into a coating composition containing a monomer before polymerization, and a patent application has been filed (Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-066700).

従来、放射線を用いて温度応答性ポリマーを基材表面にグラフト化させる製造方法において作製された細胞培養支持体は、通常細胞培養に用いられるポリスチレンの細胞培養支持体より少し細胞接着が弱い傾向がある。このため、接着性の細胞においても通常の細胞培養支持体であるポリスチレン支持体と比較すると接着細胞数が少なかったり、そのために、細胞増殖が遅れたり、所望の細胞を増殖させるために、不要な細胞が増えたり、異なる細胞への分化が進んだり、細胞種によって所望の細胞シートを得るために不都合なことがあった。そのため、基材表面にゼラチンやコラーゲン、フィブロネクチン等のプレコートをして、未処理の支持体と細胞接着性と表面接着たんぱく質の構成を代えて細胞培養を行う場合があった。一部の強い接着性を持った細胞ではポリマーの下限臨界溶解温度以下でも細胞が剥がれ難く、ピペッティングやタッピングなどの物理的な刺激を加えてみたり、希釈したトリプシンやEDTAなどと温度処理の併用をしても細胞シートが得られないことがあった。   Conventionally, cell culture supports prepared in a production method in which a temperature-responsive polymer is grafted onto a substrate surface using radiation tend to have a slightly weaker cell adhesion than polystyrene cell culture supports usually used for cell culture. is there. For this reason, even in the case of adherent cells, the number of adherent cells is small compared to a polystyrene support, which is a normal cell culture support, and therefore, cell growth is delayed or unnecessary for growing desired cells. In some cases, the number of cells increases, differentiation into different cells proceeds, and it is inconvenient to obtain a desired cell sheet depending on the cell type. For this reason, there are cases where the substrate surface is precoated with gelatin, collagen, fibronectin or the like, and cell culture is carried out by changing the constitution of the untreated support, cell adhesion and surface adhesion protein. Some cells with strong adhesiveness are difficult to peel off even below the lower critical lysis temperature of the polymer, so try to apply physical stimuli such as pipetting or tapping, or use temperature treatment with diluted trypsin or EDTA. Even when used in combination, a cell sheet may not be obtained.

また、細胞シートを再生医療の組織として用いる際は、培養に用いる培地には自己血清を入れるか無血清のものを用いる。さらに、各種細胞の分化・誘導を目的としたES細胞、間様系細胞、iPS細胞、前駆体細胞等では無血清培地を用いた培養を行うことが多い。こうした無血清培地を用いた細胞培養では細胞の支持体接着性が弱まる傾向があり、前述の天然物由来のプレコート等で複雑な接着条件設定、煩雑な操作、再現性の犠牲等が問題となった。   When the cell sheet is used as a tissue for regenerative medicine, the medium used for the culture contains autoserum or is serum-free. Furthermore, ES cells, mesenchymal cells, iPS cells, precursor cells, and the like for the purpose of differentiation / induction of various cells are often cultured using a serum-free medium. In cell culture using such a serum-free medium, cell support adhesion tends to be weakened, and complicated adhesion condition setting, complicated operation, sacrifice of reproducibility, etc. are caused by the above-mentioned natural product-derived precoat. It was.

このため、細胞培養支持体の細胞接着性は支持体へのプレコートで所望の細胞を接着・増殖させる上で適当な状態が求められ、温度応答性ポリマーを基材表面にグラフト化させる製造方法においても、プレコートに置換わる接着性・剥離性の強弱を制御できる方法が望まれた。   For this reason, the cell adhesion of the cell culture support is required to be in an appropriate state for adhering / proliferating desired cells by pre-coating on the support, and in the production method in which the temperature-responsive polymer is grafted to the substrate surface. However, a method capable of controlling the strength of adhesiveness and peelability to replace the precoat is desired.

また、本発明者らは特願2007-111757号で従来プラスチックシャーレ素材のポリスチレンや一部スライドガラス等のガラスにシラン処理したものでしか、実施されなかった温度応答性のグラフトについて、各種プラスチック素材へ展開する方法を示したが、ベース基材が異なると温度応答性を示すものの、細胞接着力、細胞剥離力が変化し、短期間で細胞シートを作製し、細胞シート剥離出来るものと、温度応答性細胞接着・脱離は観察されるが、細胞シートが得にくいもの等が観察された。その中で、適材適所の素材上に最適な温度応答性ポリマーを基材表面にグラフト化させる製造方法が求められた。   In addition, in the Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-111757, the present inventors used various plastic materials for temperature-responsive grafts that were only implemented using silane-treated glass, such as polystyrene and some glass slides. Although it shows temperature responsiveness when the base substrate is different, the cell adhesion force and cell detachment force change, and a cell sheet can be produced in a short period of time. Although responsive cell adhesion / detachment was observed, it was difficult to obtain a cell sheet. Among them, a production method for grafting an optimal temperature-responsive polymer onto a base material surface on a material at an appropriate position was required.

本発明は、温度応答性ポリマー、pH応答性ポリマー及びイオン応答性ポリマーからなる群から選択される少なくとも1種の刺激応答性高分子が共有結合を介して表面に固定化された細胞培養支持体における、細胞接着性、細胞シートの剥離性、又は単一細胞の剥離性を基材の種類に応じて最適化する技術を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention provides a cell culture support in which at least one stimulus-responsive polymer selected from the group consisting of a temperature-responsive polymer, a pH-responsive polymer, and an ion-responsive polymer is immobilized on a surface via a covalent bond. It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique for optimizing cell adhesion, cell sheet peelability, or single cell peelability according to the type of substrate.

(刺激応答性高分子)
本発明は、温度応答性ポリマー、pH応答性ポリマー及びイオン応答性ポリマーからなる群から選択される少なくとも1種の刺激応答性高分子が共有結合により表面に固定化(すなわちグラフト化)された細胞培養支持体の製造方法に関する。
刺激応答性高分子としては特に温度応答性ポリマーが好ましいがこれには限定されない。
(Stimulus responsive polymer)
The present invention relates to a cell in which at least one stimulus-responsive polymer selected from the group consisting of a temperature-responsive polymer, a pH-responsive polymer, and an ion-responsive polymer is immobilized on a surface (that is, grafted) by a covalent bond. The present invention relates to a method for producing a culture support.
The stimulus-responsive polymer is particularly preferably a temperature-responsive polymer, but is not limited thereto.

本発明に好適に使用できる温度応答性ポリマーは細胞培養温度下(通常、37℃程度)において疎水性を示し、培養した細胞シートの回収時の温度下において親水性を示すものである。なお、温度応答性ポリマーが、疎水性から親水性に変化する温度(水に対する臨界溶解温度(T))としては、特に限定されないが、培養後の細胞シートの回収の容易さの観点からは、細胞培養温度よりも低い温度であることが好ましい。このような温度応答性ポリマー成分を含むことで、細胞培養時においては、細胞の足場(細胞接着面)が充分に確保されるため細胞培養を効率よく行うことができる。その一方、培養後の細胞シートの回収時においては、疎水性部分を親水性に変化させ、培養された細胞シートを細胞培養基材から分離させることで、細胞シートの回収をより一層容易にすることができる。特に所定の臨界溶解温度未満の温度で親水性を示し、同温度以上の温度で疎水性を示す温度応答性ポリマーが好ましい。このような温度応答性ポリマーにおける臨界溶解温度を特に下限臨界溶解温度と呼ぶ。   The temperature-responsive polymer that can be suitably used in the present invention is hydrophobic at the cell culture temperature (usually about 37 ° C.) and hydrophilic at the temperature at the time of recovering the cultured cell sheet. The temperature at which the temperature-responsive polymer changes from hydrophobic to hydrophilic (critical solution temperature in water (T)) is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of ease of recovery of the cell sheet after culture, The temperature is preferably lower than the cell culture temperature. By including such a temperature-responsive polymer component, since cell scaffolds (cell adhesion surfaces) are sufficiently secured during cell culture, cell culture can be performed efficiently. On the other hand, at the time of collecting the cell sheet after culturing, the hydrophobic part is changed to hydrophilic, and the cultured cell sheet is separated from the cell culture substrate, thereby making it easier to collect the cell sheet. be able to. In particular, a temperature-responsive polymer that exhibits hydrophilicity at a temperature lower than a predetermined critical dissolution temperature and exhibits hydrophobicity at a temperature equal to or higher than the same temperature is preferable. The critical solution temperature in such a temperature-responsive polymer is particularly called the lower critical solution temperature.

本発明に好適に使用できる温度応答性ポリマーは具体的には下限臨界溶解温度Tが0〜80℃、好ましくは0〜50℃であるポリマーが好ましい。Tが80℃を越えると細胞が死滅する可能性があるので好ましくない。またTが0℃より低いと、一般に細胞増殖速度が極度に低下するか、または細胞が死滅してしまうため好ましくない。そのような好適なポリマーとしてはアクリル系ポリマー又はメタクリル系ポリマーが挙げられる。好適なポリマーは例えば特許文献3にも記載されている。具体的に適当なポリマーとしては、例えばポリ−N−イソプロピルアクリルアミド(T=32℃)、ポリ−N−n−プロピルアクリルアミド(T=21℃)、ポリ−N−n−プロピルメタクリルアミド(T=32℃)、ポリ−N−エトキシエチルアクリルアミド(T=約35℃)、ポリ−N−テトラヒドロフルフリルアクリルアミド(T=約28℃)、ポリ−N−テトラヒドロフルフリルメタクリルアミド(T=約35℃)、及びポリ−N,N−ジエチルアクリルアミド(T=32℃)等が挙げられる。その他のポリマーとしては、例えばポリ−N−エチルアクリルアミド、ポリ−N−イソプロピルメタクリルアミド、ポリ−N−シクロプロピルアクリルアミド、ポリ−N−シクロプロピルメタクリルアミド、ポリ−N−アクリロイルピロリジン、ポリ−N−アクリロイルピペリジン、ポリメチルビニルエーテル、メチルセルロース、エチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース等のアルキル置換セルロース誘導体や、ポリポリプロピレンオキサイドとポリエチレンオキサイドとのブロック共重合体等に代表されるポリアルキレンオキサイドブロック共重合体や、ポリアルキレンオキサイドブロック共重合体が挙げられる。   Specifically, the temperature-responsive polymer that can be suitably used in the present invention is preferably a polymer having a lower critical solution temperature T of 0 to 80 ° C, preferably 0 to 50 ° C. If T exceeds 80 ° C., the cells may die, which is not preferable. If T is lower than 0 ° C., the cell growth rate is generally extremely reduced, or the cells are killed, which is not preferable. Such suitable polymers include acrylic or methacrylic polymers. Suitable polymers are also described, for example, in US Pat. Specific suitable polymers include, for example, poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (T = 32 ° C.), poly-Nn-propyl acrylamide (T = 21 ° C.), poly-Nn-propyl methacrylamide (T = 32 ° C.), poly-N-ethoxyethyl acrylamide (T = about 35 ° C.), poly-N-tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylamide (T = about 28 ° C.), poly-N-tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylamide (T = about 35 ° C.) ), And poly-N, N-diethylacrylamide (T = 32 ° C.). Examples of other polymers include poly-N-ethylacrylamide, poly-N-isopropylmethacrylamide, poly-N-cyclopropylacrylamide, poly-N-cyclopropylmethacrylamide, poly-N-acryloylpyrrolidine, poly-N- Polyalkylene oxide block copolymers represented by alkyl-substituted cellulose derivatives such as acryloyl piperidine, polymethyl vinyl ether, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, block copolymers of polypolypropylene oxide and polyethylene oxide, and polyalkylenes An oxide block copolymer is mentioned.

これらのポリマーを形成するためのモノマーとしては、例えばモノマーの単独重合体がT=0〜80℃を有するようなモノマーであって、放射線照射によって重合し得るモノマーが挙げられる。モノマーとしては例えば、(メタ)アクリルアミド化合物、N−(若しくはN,N−ジ)アルキル置換(メタ)アクリルアミド誘導体、環状基を有する(メタ)アクリルアミド誘導体、及びビニルエーテル誘導体等が挙げられ、これらの1種以上を使用してよい。モノマーが一種類単独で使用された場合、基材上に形成されるポリマーはホモポリマーとなり、モノマーが複数種一緒に使用された場合、基材上に形成されるポリマーはコポリマーとなるが、どちらの形態も本発明に包含される。また、増殖細胞の種類によってTを調節する必要がある場合や、被覆物質と細胞培養支持体との相互作用を高める必要が生じた場合や、細胞支持体の親水・疎水性のバランスを調整する必要がある場合などには、上記以外の他のモノマー類を更に加えて共重合してよい。更に本発明に使用する上記ポリマーとその他のポリマーとのグラフトまたはブロック共重合体、あるいは本発明のポリマーと他のポリマーとの混合物を用いてもよい。また、ポリマー本来の性質が損なわれない範囲で架橋することも可能である。   Examples of the monomer for forming these polymers include monomers having a monomer homopolymer having T = 0 to 80 ° C. and capable of being polymerized by irradiation. Examples of the monomer include (meth) acrylamide compounds, N- (or N, N-di) alkyl-substituted (meth) acrylamide derivatives, (meth) acrylamide derivatives having a cyclic group, and vinyl ether derivatives. More than seeds may be used. When a single monomer is used alone, the polymer formed on the substrate is a homopolymer, and when multiple monomers are used together, the polymer formed on the substrate is a copolymer. These forms are also encompassed by the present invention. In addition, when it is necessary to adjust T depending on the type of proliferating cell, when it is necessary to enhance the interaction between the coating substance and the cell culture support, and the balance between the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the cell support is adjusted. If necessary, other monomers other than those described above may be further added for copolymerization. Further, a graft or block copolymer of the above-mentioned polymer used in the present invention and another polymer, or a mixture of the polymer of the present invention and another polymer may be used. Moreover, it is also possible to crosslink within a range where the original properties of the polymer are not impaired.

放射線重合成のモノマーについては上記の通りである。塗布用組成物にはモノマーが単独又は複数種含まれる。
(Coating composition)
In the method of the present invention, a coating composition comprising a monomer that can be polymerized by irradiation with radiation to form the polymer, an oligomer or prepolymer obtained by polymerizing the monomer, and an organic solvent is used. Since this coating composition contains an oligomer or a prepolymer, it is difficult to crystallize even when the amount of the organic solvent is small. For this reason, when this composition for application | coating is apply | coated to the base-material surface and superposition | polymerization is advanced by radiation irradiation, a uniform polymer layer can be formed over the whole surface of a base-material surface.
The radiation polysynthetic monomer is as described above. The coating composition contains one or more monomers.

More than 700 are more preferable. The upper limit is not particularly limited, and may be a molecular weight of 1 million or more. In the present invention, these are collectively referred to as “oligomer or prepolymer”, but the oligomer and the prepolymer are not particularly distinguished, and may be simply referred to as a polymer.

有機溶媒としてはモノマー、オリゴマー又はプレポリマーを溶解しうるものであれば特に限定されないが、常圧下に於いて沸点120℃以下、特に60〜110℃のものが好ましい。好ましい溶媒としては、具体的にはメタノール、エタノール、n(若しくはi)−プロパノール、2(若しくはn)−ブタノール、及び水等が挙げられ、それらの1種以上使用してよい。その他の溶媒、例えば1−ペンタノール、2−エチル−1−ブタノール、2−ブトキシエタノール、及びエチレン(若しくはジエチレン)グリコール又はそのモノエチルエーテル等も1種以上使用してよい。上記溶液にはその他添加剤として、硫酸等で代表される酸類、モール塩等を配合してよい。

(塗布用組成物の配合を調整することにより、細胞培養支持体の機能を最適化する方法)
親水性の高い基材、濡れ性の高い基材、および空隙率の高い(比重の低い)基材は、刺激応答性分子が細胞表面にグラフト化により導入されたとき、細胞接着性が低く、細胞シート及び単一細胞の剥離性が劣る傾向がある。一方、疎水性の高い基材、濡れ性の低い基材、および空隙率の低い(比重の高い)基材は、刺激応答性分子が細胞表面にグラフト化により導入されたとき、細胞接着性が高く、細胞シート及び単一細胞の剥離性が優れる傾向がある。本発明の特徴は、基材の親/疎水性、濡れ性、空隙率等の性質に応じて、塗布用組成物中のモノマーの配合量を調整することにより、得られる細胞培養支持体の細胞接着性、細胞シートの剥離性及び単一細胞の剥離性の少なくとも一つを所定の程度にすることにある。塗布用組成物中のモノマーの配合量とオリゴマー又はプレポリマーの配合量との比を、得られる細胞培養支持体の細胞接着性、細胞シートの剥離性及び単一細胞の剥離性の少なくとも一つを所定の程度にするように設定することが更に好ましい。
(Method of optimizing the function of the cell culture support by adjusting the composition of the coating composition)
Highly hydrophilic substrates, highly wettable substrates, and substrates with high porosity (low specific gravity) have low cell adhesion when stimuli-responsive molecules are introduced onto the cell surface by grafting, There exists a tendency for the peelability of a cell sheet and a single cell to be inferior. On the other hand, a substrate with high hydrophobicity, a substrate with low wettability, and a substrate with low porosity (high specific gravity) have cell adhesion when a stimulus-responsive molecule is introduced onto the cell surface by grafting. It tends to be high and the cell sheet and single cell peelability tend to be excellent. The feature of the present invention is that the cell of the cell culture support obtained by adjusting the blending amount of the monomer in the coating composition according to the properties of the substrate such as hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity, wettability, porosity, etc. At least one of adhesiveness, cell sheet detachability, and single cell detachability is set to a predetermined level. The ratio of the amount of the monomer and the amount of the oligomer or prepolymer in the coating composition is determined according to at least one of cell adhesion, cell sheet detachability and single cell detachability of the obtained cell culture support. Is more preferably set to a predetermined level.

基材の親/疎水性は表面の水接触角により評価することができる。例えば基材に使用できる材料の代表的なものの水接触角は以下の通りである。   The hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity of the substrate can be evaluated by the water contact angle of the surface. For example, water contact angles of typical materials that can be used for the substrate are as follows.

On the other hand, for substrates with a large water contact angle (low hydrophilicity), cell adhesion, cell sheet detachment and single cell detachment can be achieved by using a relatively large amount of monomer in the coating composition. At least one of the sexes can be optimized.

The culture solution used was Eagle Dulbecco's modified medium supplemented with 10% bovine serum.
Evaluation 1: Evaluation of cell adhesion
6 × 10 4 HH cell suspensions passaged and detached by trypsin treatment in 35 mm cell culture dish were seeded on the support (dish) of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, and the medium was changed 6 hours after seeding. At the same time, the supernatant culture was cultured in another cell culture dish for 18 hours, and non-adherent cells were observed.
Evaluation 2: Evaluation of peelability of single cell
35mm cell culture Ditsushiyu implement 10 4 HH cell suspension were passaged, detached by trypsinization to Examples 1-3, were seeded in support of Comparative Example 1 (dish), low temperature incubator (20 ° C. After 24 hours 5% CO 2 ) was observed for detachment of adherent cells before migration (0 minutes), 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes after migration.
Evaluation 3: Evaluation of cell sheet peelability
6 × 10 4 HH cell suspensions passaged and detached by trypsin treatment on 35 mm cell culture dish were seeded on the support (dish) of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, and the cells were cultured 6 days later. Proliferation / monolayer HH cells are moved to a low temperature incubator (20 ° C, 5% CO 2 ), and after 20 minutes, the bottom of the dish is cut into the monolayer cells about 3-5mm, and the round cell sheet is completely detached. Was observed and timed. The measurement was performed twice, and the time required for peeling was measured for each.

評価結果を表2に示す。易接着PETを基材にした温度応答性細胞培養支持体へのHH細胞の6時間の接着は、比較例細胞培養ディッシュに比べると若干の細胞接着残り(全て5%以下)を観察したが、目的の細胞を接着、増殖、継代、細胞シート剥離させる上に問題となるほどの差ではなかった。細胞接着残りを塗工液の組成の違う支持体間で比較するとモノマー比が高いもので若干多い傾向が観察された。   The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. The 6-hour adhesion of HH cells to a temperature-responsive cell culture support based on easy-adhesion PET was observed with a slight cell adhesion residue (all less than 5%) compared to the comparative cell culture dish. The difference was not so great as to cause problems in adhesion, growth, passage, and cell sheet detachment of the target cells. When the cell adhesion residue was compared between supports having different compositions of the coating solution, a tendency toward a slight increase was observed with a high monomer ratio.

評価2の支持体面積あたり少ない細胞数を播種して、細胞間接着の余り無い状態から低温化処理で細胞剥離を行うと、温度応答性ポリマーを基材表面にグラフト化されていない比較例1の細胞培養ディッシュ(TCPS)では2時間後も細胞は接着したままであった。しかしグラフト化された易接着PETでは経時的に細胞が支持体から剥離し、培養液中に浮遊して行く状態が観察された。1.5mm角視野を各観察経過時間で塗工液の組成の違う支持体間で比較するとモノマー比が低いもので視野から完全に細胞接着がなくなる時間が早いことが観察された。   Comparative Example 1 in which a temperature-responsive polymer is not grafted on the substrate surface when seeding a small number of cells per support area of evaluation 2 and performing cell detachment by a low temperature treatment from a state where there is not much cell-cell adhesion In the cell culture dish (TCPS), the cells remained adhered after 2 hours. However, in the grafted easy-adhesion PET, it was observed that the cells detached from the support over time and floated in the culture solution. When the 1.5 mm square field was compared between the supports having different composition of the coating solution at each observation elapsed time, it was observed that the cell ratio disappeared completely from the field of view with a low monomer ratio.

HH細胞を支持体上で播種後6日間接着増殖させてコンフレントな状態を得た。この支持体(ディッシュ)を評価3の方法で低温化・細胞シート剥離する状況を観察した。温度応答性ポリマーを基材表面にグラフト化されていない比較細胞培養ディッシュでは1日経過後も切り込み箇所以外に全く細胞シート剥離がみられなかった。易接着PET基材に温度応答性ポリマーをグラフト化した支持体では全てで細胞シートが得られた。塗工液Bで作製した支持体が塗工液S、Eを用いて作製した支持体よりも剥離時間が短いことが示された。このように、易接着PET基材を細胞培養支持体に加工する上での塗工液のモノマー・ポリマー比に最適条件が存在した。   HH cells were allowed to adhere and proliferate for 6 days after seeding on the support to obtain a confluent state. This support (dish) was observed to be cooled and peeled off by the method of Evaluation 3. In the comparative cell culture dish in which the temperature-responsive polymer was not grafted on the surface of the base material, the cell sheet was not peeled at all other than the cut portion even after 1 day. Cell sheets were obtained in all of the supports in which the temperature-responsive polymer was grafted to the easy-adhesion PET substrate. It was shown that the support prepared with the coating liquid B has a shorter peeling time than the support prepared with the coating liquids S and E. Thus, there existed optimum conditions for the monomer / polymer ratio of the coating solution for processing an easily-adhesive PET substrate into a cell culture support.

The body did not get enough adhesion and proliferation in 6 days and did not become confluent. CE obtained a confluent state with sufficient growth. In the low temperature treatment of evaluation 3, cell sheets were formed in a short time with all of C to E. However, it was observed that the adhesion between cells was weak at C and was damaged when the sheet was peeled off.
In the single cell exfoliation of Evaluation 2, the cells in the visual field were exfoliated within 60 minutes on all the supports and floated in the culture solution.
