浓度梯度微流控芯片平台的构建及其应用于抗白念珠菌药物快速筛选研究

Construction of a concentration gradient microfluidic chip platform for the rapid screening of drugs active against Candida albicans

  • 摘要: 本文建立了用于抗白念珠菌药物快速筛选的浓度梯度微流控芯片平台,通过荧光示踪剂荧光素钠在芯片上的分布定性考察浓度梯度生成情况,采用HPLC法对芯片内模型药物氟康唑的浓度梯度分布进行定量分析,进一步比较不同流速条件对浓度梯度形成的影响,最终确定两水相流速1∶1的比例用于后续药物筛选研究。以阿尔玛蓝为细胞活力指示剂,通过该平台分别进行了两性霉素B、氟康唑、伊曲康唑、伏立康唑、泊沙康唑、特比萘芬、5-氟胞嘧啶、卡泊芬净的药敏实验,快速高效地获得了药物的MIC范围,且与CLSI建议的白念珠菌敏感株的MIC值相一致,表明该平台可以通过一次实验快速筛选得到抗菌药物的MIC值范围。此外,该批次白念珠菌对特比萘芬呈现耐药,与96孔板法验证结果一致,表明该方法还可以用于耐药菌株的快速筛选。

     

    Abstract: Drug screening against Candida albicans has become more urgent due to the increasing incidence of infection and the development of drug-resistant strains. The microfluidic chip technique has shown great potential for high-throughput drug screening. In this study we developed a concentration gradient microfluidic chip platform for drug screening against Candida albicans. The generated concentration gradient on this platform was investigated qualitatively by monitoring the distribution of the fluorescent tracer fluorescein sodium and quantitatively by following the distribution of the model drug fluconazole as analyzed by HPLC; the effect of different flow conditions on the concentration gradient were determined. The ratio of the two aqueous phase flow rates was determined in the subsequent drug screening studies. Alamar Blue, an indicator of cell viability, was used in the susceptibility test for amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, terbinafine, 5-fluorocytosine and caspofungin as carried out on the established chip platform. The MIC range of the drugs, which was consistent with the MIC values of the CLSI-recommended standard, were obtained quickly and efficiently through the use of this platform, indicating that this new platform can quickly screen a series of antibacterial drugs in one run. In addition, the strain of Candida albicans we used showed resistance to terbinafine in our platform assay, consistent with the results of a 96-well plate assay, indicating that the platform can also be used for rapid screening of resistant strains.
