Significance and Use4.1 Cell attachment or, lack of it, to biomaterials is a criticalfactor affecting the performance of a device or implant. Cellattachment is a complicated, tim

22、e-dependent, process involv-ing significant morphological changes of the cell and deposi-tion of a bed of extracellular matrix. Details of the adhesivebond that is formed have been reviewed by, for example,Pierres et al (2002) (4), Lukas and Dvorak (2004) (5), andGarcia and Gallant (2003) (6). The s

23、trength of this couplingcan be determined either by monitoring the force of attachmentbetween a cell and a substrate over time or by measuring theforce required to detach the cell once it has adhered.4.2 Cell adhesion to a surface depends on a range ofbiological and physical factors that include the

24、 culture history,the age of the cell, the cell type, and both the chemistry andmorphology of the underlying surface and time. These ele-ments that need to be considered in developing a test protocol.4.3 Devising robust methods for measuring the propensityof cells to attach to different substrates is

25、 further complicatedsince either cell adhesion or detachment can be assessed. Theseprocesses that are not always similar or complementary.4.4 Most studies of cell attachment focus on obtaining somemeasure of the time-dependent force required to detach, orde-adhere, cells that have already adhered to

26、 a surface (Jameset al, 2005) (7). More recently investigators have begun tomeasure the adhesive forces that develop between cells and theunderlying surface during attachment (Lukas and Dvorak,2004) (5). From a practical point of view, it is much easier tomeasure the force required to detach or de-a

27、dhere cells from asurface than to measure those that develop during attachment.However, in both cases, the experimental data should beinterpreted with a degree of caution that depends on theintended use of the measurements. The methods of measuringcell adhesion described herein are measures of the f

28、orcerequired to detach an adherent cell.4.5 The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview ofcurrent generic test methods and identify the key factors thatinfluence the assessment of cell adhesion and detachment. It isanticipated that this guide will form the basis for producing aseries of stan

29、dards that will describe these test methods in moredetail.5. Cell Attachment Assays5.1 Table 1 provides examples of common cell adhesionassays, including a brief description of the forces applied.These assays are discussed in more detail in Section 6.5.2 Cell attachment assays can be performed using

30、 singlecells or a population of cells. Single cell techniques canprovide quantitative measures of the adhesive force thatdevelops with time between a cell and a substrate or thatrequired to detach an adhered cell from a substrate. Individualligand-surface interactions can be measured directly using,

31、 forexample, a cell mounted on an atomic force microscope (AFM)tip. Single cell measurements do have their disadvantages.Variations in adhesive strength are not averaged out over apopulation and sophisticated equipment, such as an AFM, isrequired.5.3 Cell population based assays average out variatio

32、ns incell-to-substrate adhesiveness compared with measurementsperformed on a single cell. This variation arises both becauseof variations in biomaterial surface properties, and variations incell phenotype used as the probe (Appendix X1 and AppendixX2). Cell population techniques provide a usable mea

33、sure ofthe biomaterials adhesiveness for a given batch of cells andtest conditions. Cell population techniques are attractive in thatthey provide robust measurements based on a large number ofcells, which is an important consideration given the inherentvariance of biological systems. Measurements th

34、at are basedon large numbers of cells reduce the influences of localvariations in surface chemistry and texture and in the adhe-siveness of the cells themselves.TABLE 1 Assays for Measuring Cell Detachment from SurfacesCellRequirementsAssayAssayDescriptionSectionSingle Cell Micromanipulation Measure

Measurement of Cell DetachmentNOTE 1In principle, the strength of the adhesive bond that developsbetween the cell and underlying

37、substrate will increase with time,although in practice this will depend on the cell-surface interactions.These measurements can be performed on either populations of cells orsingle cells. It should also be noted that it is not possible to conduct aseries of measurements over time on the same cell, a

38、s these tests aredestructive. Each test described below carries its own unique sources ofstatistical error. Users should familiarize themselves with the appropriateassay system and should consult with appropriate statistical staff todetermine the necessary statistical parameters to ensure statistica

39、l signifi-cance. These parameters may include, but are not limited to: sample size,power of study, number of image fields counted (for microscope-basedassays), number of cell lots tested, variability between users, what is themost appropriate statistical analysis (that is, analysis of variance, Tuke

40、ystest, t-test, etc.) and determination of a standard curve for analysis ofdetached cells.6.1 Micromanipulation:6.1.1 Micromanipulation Methods (Single Cells)Singlecells can be used to measure the force required to uncouplecells from the underlying substrate (measure of detachment), asa result of a

41、time-dependent adhesion. Such measurements aremade using micromanipulation or micropipettes. Cells can beseeded onto a small block of material mounted on an AFM tip,attached to a coated AFM tip or to the tip directly. Thecell-coated tip can then be used to measure the tack force thatdevelops over ti

42、me.6.1.2 There are some practical issues that need to beaddressed when using this direct approach to force measure-ment:6.1.2.1 Care should be taken to ensure that the measure-ments relate to a single cell and not to contributions from anumber of cells. This is a particular issue when a block ofmate

43、rial is mounted onto the tip.6.1.2.2 Care should be taken to ensure that the measurementrelates to the detachment force and is not a measure of cellmembrane strength; this can be checked by examining thefootprint left by the cell.6.1.2.3 These measurements need to be made using a wetcell AFM. Proble

44、ms have been reported with protein adsorp-tion on the cantilever having an adverse effect on its reflectiv-ity.6.1.3 Micropipettes, microprobes, and AFMs have beenused to measure the force required to suck or pull single cellsaway from the substrate to which they are attached (forexample, Shao et al

45、, 2004) (8). All these methods providequantifiable sensitive and real time direct measures of the forcerequired to detach the cell that is typically less than 10 mN (forexample, Lee et al, 2004) (9). Control over the magnitude ofthe force and the rate at which it is applied can be used toexplore the

46、 process of cell detachment in detail. Practicalissues that need to be considered when using these methodsinclude:6.1.3.1 Specialized equipment, which must be calibrated toensure that data are reproducible and repeatable, is required forsuch sensitive measurements.6.1.3.2 Care should be taken to ens

47、ure that the measurementrelates to detachment force and is not a measure of cellmembrane strength, this can be checked by examining thefootprint left by the cell.6.1.3.3 Consideration should be given as to the direction ofthe applied force, that is, tensile, shear or some combination ofthe two and t

48、he magnitude of the applied stress. Larger areapipette tips will subject the cell to a lower stress than the tip ofan AFM for a given applied force.6.1.3.4 The period of time between exposing the cells to asurface and that at which measurements are made.6.2 Cell Detachment Measurements on Cell Popul

Prior to using thisapproach, the user should consider the buoyancy of the cellswith respect to medium to ensure that it is negative. Consid-eration should be given to the test duration to improve theconsistency of repeat measurements.6.2.2 Wash AssaysA simple, convenient, widely usedassay that readily provides qualitative information on adhesionof cells to a substrate is to wash of
