Construction of A Microfluidic Intestine-liver-breast Cancer Chip and Analysis of Its Application in PK-PD in Vitro of Drugs
A multi-organ chip of intestine-liver-breast cancer was constructed based on microfluidic technology and used for pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) study of drugs
in vitro
.
Method:
2
A multi-organ chip comprising a 4-layer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate and a 2-layer poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) cover was constructed by microfluidic technology. The connection between cells was investigated by staining the 21-day-grown human colon cancer cell line Caco-2 cell layer and the 3-day-grown human umbilical vein endothelial cell line HUVEC cell layer with CellTracker Red/Green and Hoechst
respectively. The transmission rates of 2 g·L
-1
fluorescein sodium and 33.28 mg·L
-1
propranolol acrossing the cell layer were employed to verify the function of the constructed intestinal module. The metabolic level of the liver module was investigated by comparing the inhibition rate of 125 μmol·L
-1
cyclophosphamide against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells treated with human hepatoma cell line HepG2 cells in a conventional well plate and chip liver module for 48 h. The secretion of albumin by HepG2 cells in the chip was detected to verify the synthesis function of hepatic module. Caco-2 cell layer
HUVEC cell layer
HepG2 cell layer
MCF-7 cell layer and dialysis membrane were assembled on the chip
the culture medium containing 55 mg·L
-1
propranolol was injected into the upper channel of the chip for 4 h
and then changed into the normal culture solution. The mass concentration of propranolol in the lower circulating culture medium at each time point within 72 h was determined
and the drug-time curve was drawn. The culture medium containing 125 μmol·L
-1
cyclophosphamide
5 μmol·L
-1
paclitaxel
50 μmol·L
-1
capecitabine was injected into the circulating fluid in the upper layer of the chip
in order to study the inhibition rates of the three anti-tumor drugs on the MCF-7 cell layer on the chip within 72 h
and the results were compared with those of the 96-well plate.
Result:
2
The constructed chip performed well. The Caco-2 and HUVEC cell layers were tightly connected. The transmission of fluorescein sodium and propranolol between the cell layers demonstrated that the constructed intestinal module had good absorption and transport function. The inhibition rate of MCF-7 by 125 μmol·L
-1
cyclophosphamide after metabolism of HepG2 cells on the well plate was 22.12%
and the inhibition rate of MCF-7 by the unmetabolized cyclophosphamide was 1.84%. The inhibition rate of MCF-7 increased to 32.13%after injected 125 μmol·L
-1
cyclophosphamide from the upper layer of the chip liver module
and the inhibition rate of MCF-7 after injection from the lower layer of the chip liver module was 7.23%. The mass concentration of propranolol on the chip changed with time
which was basically consistent with that
in vivo
. The inhibition rate of MCF-7 on the plate with 125 μmol·L
-1
cyclophosphamide was lower than that on the chip
and the inhibition rates of MCF-7 on the plate with 5 μmol·L
-1
paclitaxel and 50 μmol·L
-1
capecitabine were higher than those on the chip.
Conclusion:
2
The constructed multi-organ chip of intestine-liver-breast cancer has the absorption and transport function of the intestine and the metabolic function of the liver. The chip can reflect the pharmacokinetic properties of propranolol
in vivo
and can be used for pharmacodynamic studies of paclitaxel and capecitabine.
