概要（目的・用途・実施内容）/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)
The renal proximal tubule is responsible for reabsorption of water, glucose, amino acids, and other molecules from the glomerular filtrate which are not meant for excretion. This project involves implementing multiple stages to model the organ in vitro using a microphysiological system. The reabsorption performance of a variety of on chip proximal tubule tissue configurations is currently under investigation. Here we report on our recent advances on the fabrication of the chip.
実験 / Experimental
PDMS-based chips were fabricated as outlined in the last fiscal report. Briefly, two identical PDMS slabs cast on Si-SU8 molds, bearing ‘S’ shaped microchannels, were bonded together with a PET membrane in between. Previously, we used a thin PDMS layer spun coated on one of the slabs and cured at room temperature to attach the slabs. This method has a downside. Uncured PDMS diffuses into the channel and reduces the apparent area of the membrane. To resolve this, the membrane and the bottom slab with microchannel side up were treated under O2 plasma for 1 min to render the surfaces hydrophilic. The membrane was then placed on the bottom slab. Next, the top slab along with the membrane-bearing bottom slab were exposed to O2 plasma for 1 min. The slabs were immediately brought together and bond under microscope without using an adhesion layer.
結果と考察 / Results and Discussion
Figs. 1a and 1b show photographs of proximal tubule cell-laden membranes formed on devices fabricated using PDMS- and plasma-based bonding methods, respectively. It is clear than the latter offers a wider cell coverage.
