Bioreactor Cell Growth Monitoring

Cell growth in the bioreactor was monitored daily for the whole duration of the runs. Three macrocarriers from the top of the fixed-bed were sampled every day through the biomass probe port, resuspended in 1.5 mL of Reagent A100 (Chemometec, Allerod, Denmark), and vortexed for 2 min for cell lysis. Macrocarriers were then discarded and nuclei from the lysed cells were counted using the NucleoCounter NC-200 (Chemometec). Three macrocarriers from the top, middle, and bottom of the fixed-bed were also counted at the end of the culture after the last harvest to assess potential growth differences across the fixed-bed.

Quantification of Implant-Adherent and Exudate Cells

The number of cells adherent to the implant (n = 6–7/group/time point) or in the exudate (n = 8–9/group/time point), that were retrieved from animals, was measured using the NucleoCounter® system (ChemoMetec). To count cells adherent to the implants, retrieved implants were immediately immersed in lysis buffer (100 μL, Reagent A100, ChemoMetec) in a 96-well plate and shaken for 2 min at 500 RPM to detach the cells from the implant surface. Implants were then removed from the lysate before adding the stabilization buffer (100 μL, Reagent B, ChemoMetec). The cell sample was then loaded in a NucleoCassette™ containing propidium iodide that stains nuclei for automatic counting of total cells. To count cells in exudate, an exudate fraction was directly loaded in NucleoCassette™ for dead cell quantification. An additional exudate fraction was diluted 1:1:1 with lysis buffer and stabilization buffer and drawn into NucleoCassette™, as described above, to count total cells.

Cell Fractionation and Extraction

Cell pellets were resuspended by repeated pipetting in 400 μL Lysis Buffer (Reagent A100, Chemometec, Villeneuve-Loubet, France) before the addition of 400 μL Stabilizing Buffer (Reagent B, Chemometec). After centrifugation at 200 × g for 5 min, 700 μL supernatant was collected as the cytoplasmic fractions and the remaining 100 μL was kept as the nuclear fractions.

Microcarrier-based Cell Culture Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Daily imaging was done by phase contrast microscopy. Cell counts and viability were performed using the Nucleocounter NC3000 (Chemometec) as per manufacturer's instructions for two separate samples. Counts were performed directly on the microcarriers using the reagent A100 and reagent B protocol. Briefly, the cell‐microcarrier suspension was diluted to a 1:1:1 ratio with reagent A100 and reagent B (Chemometec); reagent A100 lyses the cells from the microcarriers releasing the nuclei, while reagent B stabilizes the suspension. The resulting suspension was loaded onto a Nucleocassette Via‐1, preloaded with acridine orange and DAPI and the cassette then transferred Nucleocounter NC3000 machine for processing.
Spent medium samples were collected before and after medium exchanges in the bioreactor and were analyzed for glucose and lactate concentrations on an AccuTrend Plus meter (Roche). Fresh growth medium was used as baseline control.
Based on cell counts, the following parameters were calculated:

Specific growth rate
μ=lnCxtCx0t,where μ is the specific growth rate (h−1), Cx(t) and Cx(0) represent cell numbers at the end and start of the culture, t represents time in culture (h).

Doubling time
td=ln2μ,where td is doubling time (h) and μ is the specific growth rate (h−1).

Fold increase
FI=CxtCx0,where Cx(t) represents the maximum cell number and Cx(0) is the initial cell number.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
