摘要
本研究自行开发了单片机控制的多通道细胞牵张应力加载仪,控制与真空室相连的真空泵,使真空室内的负压产生周期性变化,使置于真空室上的弹性膜培养板底壁的弹性膜发生变形,对培养于弹性膜上的细胞施加牵张应变,实现对细胞施加周期性拉伸变形的作用。控制系统可以同时进行三通道不同形变率的对比实验,而且体积小,便于携带,形变率、频率可以精确调节,操作简单,可以提供1%~21%范围的形变率,应变频率可在0~0.5Hz范围内可调。系统运行稳定,达到了设计要求,提供了对贴壁生长细胞施加基底膜牵张应力的体外实验方法。
Based on single-chip microcomputer,we have established a mechanical strain loading system with multi-channel to study the biological behavior of cultured cells in vitro under mechanical strain.We developed a multi-channel cell strain loading device controlled by single-chip microcomputer.We controlled the vacuum pump with vacuum chamber to make negative pressure changing periodically in the vacuum chamber.The tested cells were seeded on the surface of an elastic membrane mounted on the vacuum chamber,and could be strained or relaxed by cyclic pressure.Since the cells are attached to the surface of the membrane,they presumably experience the same deformation as that was applied to the membrane.The system was easy to carry and to operate,with deformation rate(1%-21%) and frequency(0-0.5Hz) which could be adjusted correctly according to experimental requirement,and could compare different deformation rate of three channels at the same time.The system ran stably and completely achieved design aims,and provided a method to study the biological behavior of cultured cells attached to the surface of the elastic membrane under mechanical strain in vitro.
