Abstract:
:A second generation flow contraction device was developed and modeled which allows cells to be subjected to well-defined hydrodynamic forces. Studies were conducted with this system on wild-type Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO-K1) and a strain of CHO cells which expresses the human Bcl-2 triangle gene (CHO-bcl-2). In this study, the following questions were asked: (1) Does an acute hydrodynamic force induce apoptosis in wild-type CHO and CHO-bcl-2 cells? (2) Does the type of culture media make a difference with respect to the induction of apoptosis or necrosis? and (3) Does culture history affect induction of apoptosis or necrosis? The results obtained with this new flow contraction device and corresponding computer simulations are consistent with previously published studies with respect to the level of energy dissipation rate (EDR) required to create significant cell lysis. Second, while detectable relative to the control in the T-flask experiments, only a small fraction of the cells become apoptotic when exposed to a sub-lysis level of EDR (<10(8) W x m(-3)). Third, cells cultured in suspension with serum free media do not exhibit any higher or lower sensitivity (with respect to apoptosis) to various levels of EDR when compared to control cultures grown in T-flask and serum containing media; on the other hand, necrosis is significantly increased in experiments performed on suspended cells without serum. Fourth, the addition of the Bcl-2 gene product might slightly reduce the occurrence of apoptosis in T-flask culture; however, the baseline response is so low that the difference is insignificant.
