Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of bioreactor system, specifically is a kind of bioreactor system for nerve stem cell to amplify in large scale and long time.Be used for technical field of bioengineering.
Background technology
Reynold in 1992 and Weiss have isolated neural stem cell for the first time from the central nervous system of adult mice, and successfully make it at amplification in vitro, indicate that the research of neural stem cell has entered a brand-new stage.Because neurocyte is not special antigen presenting cell (APCs), immune response to the allogeneic nerve tissue transplanted does not have its hetero-organization strong like that, so the allogeneic nerve stem cell at amplification in vitro will break away from these restraining factors in transplantation, become the powerful measure of treatment nervous system disease.Existing neural stem cell is attempted being used for the nervus centralis disease, as the treatment of parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis and huntington's chorea.Neural stem cell and noble cells thereof also can be used as the specific aim screening system of relevant medicine, and cell differentiation of nerve cord is various phenotypes, but in the analogue body in the cental system cell with organize between complex interactions, have purposes widely in the study of pharmacy field.In the pharmacological action and toxicity test of various cells, neural stem cell will provide the research means of cell levels for the aspects such as pharmacology, drug effect, medicine generation and toxicity of cental system disease candidate medicine, significantly reduce the quantity of the required animal of drug testing, reduce cost.In addition, because neural stem cell is similar to the cell of body early embryo, which medicine it also might be used for disclosing can be disturbed fetus brain neurodevelopment and cause inborn defect etc.More than all application to be prerequisite with a large amount of acquisitions of neural stem cell all, therefore must have a kind of bioreactor system to increase on a large scale and could satisfy clinical and needs scientific research it.And the cultivation of domestic and international most of neural stem cell is at present still carried out in tissue culture flasks, obtain a large amount of neural stem cell, and only depending on the number that increases tissue culture flasks is very costliness and poor efficiency, and need expend a large amount of labours.Except that above problem, the danger of microbiological contamination and misoperation (calculating as cell counting/survival rate/inoculum size) is arranged all in each transfer from the culturing bottle to the culturing bottle.
Find by prior art documents, people such as Michael S.Kallos are at " Biotechnology andBioengineering " 1999,65 (5): " the Extended Serial Passaging ofMammalian Neural Stem Cells in Suspension Bioreactors " that delivers on the 589-599 (cultivate in the medium-term and long-term continuous passage of suspended biological reactor by mammalian neural stem cells, " Biotechnology and Bioengineering ") in the literary composition, the suspended biological reactor assembly of amplification neural stem cell has been proposed, this system is mainly by rolling bottle, magnetic stirring apparatus and incubator constitute, when the neural stem cell growth reaches finite concentration, be removed, be inoculated into and continue amplification in the other bio-reactor.This device can not be regulated and control O flexibly
2, CO
2Deng the supply of gas, can not substratum be provided continuously and remove metabolic by-prods simultaneously for reactor, thereby can't keep the suitableeest growing environment of neural stem cell.And the danger of microbiological contamination in addition in the seeded process of neural stem cell.In addition, all extremely not convenient owing to this whole culturing process is carried out in incubator for observation and sampling, and incubator inherent volume has limited the scale of neural stem cell amplification to a certain extent.Generally speaking, this system too limits in design and is unfavorable for operation and practical application, promptly fails to break away from the restriction of incubator, is unfavorable for enlarging the amplification scale, can't synchronous detection; Lack flexibility in design, optimum environment can't be provided for the long-term cultivation of neural stem cell.Therefore will not only expend scientific research personnel's time and efforts with this bioreactor system amplification neural stem cell, and the more important thing is, such device can't be realized the long-term high-density culture continuously to neural stem cell.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome deficiency of the prior art, a kind of bioreactor system for nerve stem cell to amplify in large scale and long time is provided.Make its restriction of having broken away from incubator, help long-term big amplification scale and synchronous detection, and provide optimum environment for the long-term high-density culture of neural stem cell.
