In this study, a novel microfluidic device with a porous membrane electrode was developed for the in situ monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) released by endothelial cells in real time. This device successfully measured NO released by human umbilical vein endothelial cells and recorded the changes in NO release with culture time. This research contributes to the development of organ-on-a-chip technology for real-time in situ cell analyses.
Vasculature-on-a-chip is a microfluidic cell culture device used for modeling vascular functions by culturing endothelial cells. Porous membranes are widely used to create cell culture environments. However, in situ real-time measurements of cellular metabolites in microchannels are challenging. In this study, a novel microfluidic device with a porous membrane electrode was developed for the in situ monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) released by endothelial cells in real time. In this system, a porous Au membrane electrode was placed directly beneath the cells for in situ and real-time measurements of NO, a biomarker of endothelial cells. First, the device was electrochemically characterized to construct a calibration plot for NO. Next, NO released by human umbilical vein endothelial cells under l-arginine stimulation was successfully quantified. Furthermore, the changes in NO release with culture time (in days) using the same sample were successfully recorded by exploiting minimally invasive measurements. This is the first report on the combination of a microfluidic device and porous membrane electrode for the electrochemical analysis of endothelial cells. This device will contribute to the development of organ-on-a-chip technology for real-time in situ cell analyses.
