干细胞解离的首选利器:Accutase 酶

人胚胎干细胞(hESCs)是多能细胞,可分化成各种细胞类型。最初hESCs是利用机械解离的方法来分离和传代,但在诱导和维持时会产生很多差异。为维持高质量的hESC,必须通过观察、手动筛选和传代健康的、形态上未分化的克隆(或者将分化的克隆去除)。近年来一种自动的方法推荐用于hESC的机械解离传代,但需要特定的仪器,且数代后hESC的多能性没有报道。

下游的很多实验都要求将hESCs制备成单细胞,如流式、高通量筛选等。然而相比于鼠科的ESCs,hESCs很可能因为物理损伤而限制了其存活和扩增。近来报道了利用胰酶消化将17种细胞系分离培养,然而这些hEScs却是以小的细胞团而不是单细胞进行增殖。同时胰酶消化使hESCs在最初的5-10代的铺板率显著下降(<3%),增殖后的hESCs在30代后往往会出现核型异常。 而Accutase酶则与胰酶消化不同,并不会显著影响hESCs解离为单个细胞后的铺板效率。利用转染入Oct4-eGFP的hESC表明,与胶原酶消化相比,每一代细胞都保持了更高比例的Oct4-eGFP阳性细胞。Accutase酶处理后的hESCs可生长成单层,仍然维持其多能性。这些细胞也不需要人工筛选出未分化的克隆,可作为常规的细胞培养技术在实验室中应用。 Accutase酶具有以下无可比拟的优势:

  • 温和快速高效地消化细胞,而不会破坏抗原表位影响流式分析(图1,2)
  • 消化hESCs更加温和,且保持其未分化状态(图3,4)
  • 保持细胞最大的活力
  • 最高的铺板效率
  • 无需洗涤或中和,加入培养基即可使Accutase酶失活,节省时间
  • 同时具备蛋白酶和溶胶原活性,适合大部分细胞,应用更广泛
  • 可用于组织解离,进行原代细胞培养
  • 价格低,即用型,严格质控
  • 无需分装,4℃可稳定保存2个月,-20℃可稳定保存2年
图1、细胞消化。Accutase酶处理人MG63纤维肉瘤细胞,细胞快速脱落,消化为单个细胞,且具有高活力。即使处理45min后,细胞活力仍达到97±3%。
图2、 消化前后的比较。Accutase处理前,细胞呈单层贴壁(左图);Accutase酶处理后,显微镜下观察不到细胞,说明消化得很彻底。
图3、Accutase酶消化后的hESC冻存后复苏,可以得到更高的得率和活力。hESC培养于Invitorgen的Stempro hESC Serum and Freeder Free Mdia (SFM)中,经Accutase酶或胶原酶消化后,在相同条件下冻存。2周后复苏接种,一天后用Countess automated cell counter计数复苏的细胞总数和活细胞数量。
图4、 Accutase酶处理的hESCs仍然维持高水平的未分化状态。A: 比较Accutase酶和胶原酶处理的克隆,大部分Accutase酶处理的细胞(上排)呈现一致未分化的圆形克隆形态,而胶原酶处理的细胞(下排)显示出部分分化迹象。B: 通过形态和Oct-4-eGFP联合计数Accutase和胶原酶处理的细胞中未分化的克隆的数量。在第9-11代细胞中计数7个视野中未分化克隆与总克隆的比例。C: 流式分析Accutase酶处理后第10天和胶原酶处理后第7天的hESCs中eGFP荧光信号。在7-AAD阴性的活细胞中,eGFP阳性细胞在胶原酶和Accutase酶处理后的hESCs中分别为70%和91%。(数据来源:Bajpai R., Lesperance J., Kim M., et al.
