ABSTRACT
Therapeutic devices incorporating living cells or tissues have been intensively investigated for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Because many biological processes are governed by spatially dependent signals, programmable immobilization of materials is crucial for manipulating multiple types of cells. In this study, click chemistry substrates were introduced onto the surfaces of cells and cover glass, and the cells were fixed on the cover glass via covalent bonds for selective cell deposition. Azide group (Az)-labeled living cells were prepared by metabolic labeling with azido sugars. Following the introduction of Az, TCO (trans-cyclooctene) was metabolically labeled into the living cells by reacting with TCO-DBCO (dibenzocyclooctyne). Az and TCO in the cells were detected using DBCO-FAM (fluorescein)and tetrazine-Cy3, respectively. The mixture of Az-labeled green fluorescent protein HeLa cells and TCO-labeled red fluorescent protein HeLa cells was reacted in a culture dish in which three different cover glasses, DBCO-, tetrazine-, or methyl-coated, were added. Az- or TCO-labeled cells could be immobilized in a functional group-dependent manner. Next, tetrazine-labeled cells were incubated on TCO- or Az-labeled cell layers instead of cover glass. Functional group-dependent immobilization was also achieved in the cell layer. Introducing substrates for the click reaction could achieve cell-selective immobilization on different patterned glass surfaces, as well as cell-cell immobilization.
