Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cell biology and biology, relates to a separation culture method of local tissue cells of fishes, and particularly relates to a separation culture method of primary hepatocytes of megalobrama amblycephala.
Background
With the development of aquaculture industry, the culture density is continuously improved, the feed formula is unreasonable, the environmental pollution and other problems cause serious damage to the liver, and the liver is the most important physiological and biochemical metabolic organ in the fish body, so that the method has practical significance in culturing the fish hepatic cells. In addition, culturing primary hepatocytes in vitro has many advantages that cannot be replaced by in vivo experiments. The primary hepatocytes can be obtained in a large amount in a short time, the experimental time is shortened, the pertinence is strong, and the original physiological functions of the liver are retained while the in vitro hepatocytes eliminate the influence of the interaction of other tissues in the body. Therefore, hepatocytes are widely used in fish nutrition, pharmacology and toxicology studies.
The megalobrama amblycephala belongs to the family Cyprinus, is a medium lake omnivorous freshwater fish mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river, has the advantages of rapid growth, delicious meat quality, less interspinal stings and low cost, has the yield of the freshwater fish ranked in the sixth place of the country, and is popular with farmers and consumers in China. However, due to the physical and structural characteristics of the megalobrama amblycephala, the proportion of the head and the visceral mass in the whole body is small, so that the megalobrama amblycephala is not stress-resistant, and excessive fat accumulation can cause fatty liver like mammals. Therefore, the megalobrama amblycephala is better researched by separating and culturing the hepatic cells.
At present, the liver cell culture of some fishes is researched, but the obtained cell impurities are more, the cell viability is lower, and the methods are not suitable for the culture of the megalobrama amblycephala primary liver cells. The experiment combines the biological characteristics of the megalobrama amblycephala species, and establishes the isolation culture method of the megalobrama amblycephala primary hepatocyte by improving the defects of the prior culture method of the primary fish hepatocyte.

Test analysis
1. Cell counting and survival rate detection: the cell density is 10 by using trypan blue staining method, and then counting and determining the viability in a cell counter6-107cell/ml, and the activity rate reaches 90 percent or more.
2. And (3) morphological observation: observing the cell morphology obtained by separation and culture in an inverted microscope, wherein the hepatocyte obtained just after separation is spherical (0h, as shown in figure 1 below), and the cell state is good; after 24h of culture, the cells began to deform and adherence occurred (24h, as shown in FIG. 2 below); after 48h of culture, the cells were deformed, fibrillar and firmly attached (48h, see FIG. 3 below).
3. Comparing primary hepatocytes of megalobrama amblycephala cultured by different methods: separately culturing Cyprinus Carpio[1]Crucian carp[2]Jian carp[3]The primary hepatocyte method is used for separating and culturing the primary hepatocytes of the megalobrama amblycephala, and the cell survival rate, the anchorage rate after 48 hours and the cell metabolic state are compared. Methods 1,2, 3 and 4 represent methods for culturing carp, crucian and jian carp hepatocytes, respectively, and methods of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the megalobrama amblycephala obtained by separation culture by the method has a significantly higher survival rate than other three groups, and the survival rate of the megalobrama amblycephala obtained by the method is up to 91.93%. As can be seen from FIG. 5, after the hepatocytes are cultured for 48h, the method 4 obtains the highest adherence rate, and the other three methods have lower adherence rates, which is not favorable for the development of subsequent experiments. As can be seen from fig. 6, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in the supernatant obtained by isolating the cultured hepatocytes by method 4 was significantly lower than that of the other three methods. Lactate dehydrogenase exists in liver cells, and when the permeability of damaged cell membranes of the liver cells is increased, the lactate dehydrogenase leaks out from the cells to the extracellular environment, so that the damaged degree of the liver cells can be known by detecting the activity of the lactate dehydrogenase in culture medium supernatant. Therefore, the other three separation methods have great damage to the liver cells. As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 8, the content of albumin and urea nitrogen in the supernatant of method 4 was significantly higher than that of the other three groups after 48 hours of cell culture. Since urea nitrogen is produced in a large amount when cells are actively metabolized, urea nitrogen can be used as an index for determining cell survival. The liver is the only place for synthesizing albumin, and whether the synthesis and secretion functions of the liver cells are normal can be judged by detecting the content of albumin in the culture supernatant, and the albumin can be used as an early indicator of liver cell injury. From the results obtained, megalobrama amblycephala obtained by the method 4 was vigorous in growth and normal in synthesis and secretion functions.
Compared with the prior fish primary hepatocyte culture method, the method is more suitable for separating and culturing megalobrama amblycephala hepatocytes. The invention combines the characteristics of the research species and innovatively improves some defects in the separation culture step on the basis of the existing method, thereby obtaining the liver cells with good survival rate, high adherence rate, small cell damage degree and normal metabolic function.
