Abstract
Description
細胞は生体内では一般に三次元的な集団として存在するが、古典的な平面培養では、細胞が容器に張り付く形で単層状に培養される。付着細胞の培養においては、古くより、様々な培養法がシャーレ等により開発されている。このシャーレ等による培養を行った場合、培養細胞は増殖を続け、“コンフルエント”と呼ばれるこれ以上増殖出来ない状況になり、増殖が停止する。細胞種にもよるが、継代せずにこのコンフルエントな状態を継続した場合、ある程度の期間の後に自発的に剥離が始まり、細胞が継代出来なくなることも、多くの細胞で見出されている。
ポリイミドとは、繰り返し単位にイミド結合を含む高分子の総称である。芳香族ポリイミドは、芳香族化合物が直接イミド結合で連結された高分子を意味する。芳香族ポリイミドは芳香族と芳香族とがイミド結合を介して共役構造を持つため、剛直で強固な分子構造を持ち、かつ、イミド結合が強い分子間力を持つために非常に高いレベルの熱的、機械的、化学的性質を有する。

ポリイミド多孔質膜表面の平均孔径は、多孔質膜表面の走査型電子顕微鏡写真より、200点以上の開孔部について孔面積を測定し、該孔面積の平均値から下式(1)に従って孔の形状が真円であるとした際の平均直径を計算より求めることができる。
ポリイミド多孔質膜を用いた細胞培養のモデル図を図1に示す。本発明の方法では、細胞培養に用いる培地の量を従来の方法よりも大幅に減らしつつ、大量の細胞を培養することが可能となる。たとえば、ポリイミド多孔質膜の一部分又は全体が、細胞培養培地の液相と接触していない状態であっても、大量の細胞を長期にわたって培養することができる。また、細胞生存域を含むポリイミド多孔質膜体積の総和に対して、細胞培養容器中に含まれる細胞培養培地の総体積を著しく減らすことも可能となる。
本発明の方法において、細胞の培養システム及び培養条件は、細胞の種類等に応じて適宜決定することができる。動物細胞、植物細胞、及び細菌の各細胞に適した培養方法が公知であり、当業者は任意の公知の方法を用いてポリイミド多孔質膜に適用した細胞を培養することができる。細胞培養培地も細胞の種類に応じて適宜調製することができる。

培養ユニットは細胞を担持するための1又は複数のポリイミド多孔質膜を収容する培養ユニットであって、培地供給口および培地排出口を備えた培養ユニットであり、
培地供給ユニットは培地収納容器と、培地供給ラインと、培地供給ラインを介して連続的又は間歇的に培地を送液する送液ポンプとを備え、ここで培地供給ラインの第一の端部は培地収納容器内の培地に接触し、培地供給ラインの第二の端部は培養ユニットの培地供給口を介して培養ユニット内に連通している、培地供給ユニットである
細胞培養装置であってよい。

を含む、方法に関する。本発明によれば、高密度に培養された細胞を担持した状態でポリイミド多孔質膜を凍結することが可能であり、従来の非接着状態で凍結させる細胞の凍結方法と比較して、圧倒的に高密度の状態で細胞を凍結することが可能となる。
本発明の方法に利用し得る細胞の種類は特に限定されず、上述の任意の細胞が利用可能である。
本発明の方法は、細胞をポリイミド多孔質膜に担持させる工程を含む。
ポリイミド多孔質膜に細胞を担持させる方法としては任意の方法を用いることができるが、たとえば以下のような方法を用いることができる。

ポリイミド多孔質膜の表面に播種された細胞は、ポリイミド多孔質膜に接着し、多孔の内部に入り込んでいく。好ましくは、特に外部から物理的又は化学的な力を加えなくても、細胞はポリイミド多孔質膜に自発的に接着する。ポリイミド多孔質膜の表面に播種された細胞は、膜の表面及び/又は内部において安定して生育・増殖することが可能である。細胞は生育・増殖する膜の位置に応じて、種々の異なる形態をとりうる。
細胞が凍結する条件としては、ポリイミド多孔質膜に担持された細胞の一部又はすべてが、凍結後に解凍された際に生命機能を保持しているような条件であれば、適宜設定することができる。また、ポリイミド多孔質膜を入れるための凍結用チューブや凍結用ケーン等も、市販されている製品を使用することができる。
第一の低温条件を提供する装置と、第二の低温条件を提供する装置は別個のものでもよいし、同じでもよい。第一の低温条件を提供する装置と、第二の低温条件を提供する装置とが別個のものである場合としては、たとえば第一の低温条件を提供する装置が通常のフリーザーであり、第二の低温条件を提供する装置がディープフリーザーである場合が挙げられるが、これに限定されない。また、第一の低温条件を提供する装置と、第二の低温条件を提供する装置とが同じ場合としては、一定の速度で温度を低下させることができるプログラムフリーザー(たとえばネッパジーン株式会社製プログラムフリーザー等)を用いる場合が挙げられるが、これに限定されない。
本発明の方法は、上述したように細胞を担持させたポリイミド多孔質膜を、凍結状態を保つ条件で保存する工程を含む。凍結状態を保つ条件としては、上記第二の低温条件下でそのまま保存する条件や、第二の低温条件よりさらに低温である第三の低温条件下で保存する条件が挙げられる。第三の低温条件の例としては、たとえば液体窒素中におく場合が挙げられるが、これに限定されない。

本発明の方法では、細胞を解凍したポリイミド多孔質膜をそのまま細胞培養培地に適用することで、解凍された細胞を同じポリイミド多孔質膜上で培養することができる。
本発明は、細胞の凍結保存のためのポリイミド多孔質膜にも関する。本発明の、細胞の凍結保存のためのポリイミド多孔質膜は、上述した細胞の凍結保存方法のためのポリイミド多孔質膜であってよい。
本発明は、ポリイミド多孔質膜を含む、細胞の凍結保存のためのキットにも関する。
本発明のキットは、ポリイミド多孔質膜の他に、細胞培養に必要な構成要素を適宜含みうる。例えば、ポリイミド多孔質膜、細胞凍結保存液、凍結用チューブ、凍結用ケーン及びキットの取り扱い説明書などが含まれる。
