Commentaires:

• Uses a 3D collagen matrix to measure changes in the collagen gel size
• Assess cell contractivity and screen for cell contraction mediators
• Includes optional cell contraction inhibitor

Procédure de l'essai:

1. Harvest cells and resuspend in desired medium at 2-5 x 106 cells/mL.
2. Prepare the collagen lattice by mixing 2 parts of cell suspension and 8 parts of cold Collagen Gel Working Solution.
3. Add 0.5 mL of the cell-collagen mixture per well in a 24-well plate, incubate 1 hr at 37 °C.
4. After collagen polymerization, 1.0 mL of culture medium is added atop each collagen gel lattice.
5. Cultures are incubated for two days, during which stress develops. Before releasing the stressed matrix, cells may be treated with contraction mediators, such as 10 mM BDM. To initiate contraction, gently release collagen gels from the sides of the culture dishes with a sterile spatula.
6. The collagen gel size change (contraction index) can be measured at various times with a ruler or quantified with image analysis software, such as NIH Image or Image Pro Plus. 4

Détail du antigène

Sujet: Wound healing comprises of three processes: epithelialization, connective tissue deposition, and contraction. The contraction process is believed to be mediated by specialized fibroblasts called myofibroblasts. Three-dimensional collagen gels have been widely used in fibroblast contraction studies. There are several different culture models to study the ability of fibroblasts to reorganize and contract collagen matrices in vitro. In the floating contraction model, a freshly polymerized collagen matrix containing cells is released from the culture dish and allowed to float in culture medium, and contraction occurs in the absence of external mechanical load and without appearance of stress fibers in the cells. In the attached model, a polymerized collagen matrix containing cells remains attached to the culture dish during contraction. Mechanical tension develops during contraction, and cellular stress fibers assemble. The two-step model combines an initial period of attached matrix contraction leading to mechanical loading, followed by release of the matrices, resulting in mechanical unloading and further contraction as mechanical stress dissipates. The signaling mechanisms used by fibroblasts to regulate collagen matrix contraction depend on whether the cells are mechanically loaded or unloaded at the time that contraction is initiated as well as on the growth factor used to initiate contraction. For instance, stimulation of fibroblasts by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) but not by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) causes robust force generation in restrained matrices, whereas LPA and PDGF stimulate floating matrix contraction equally well. 3D collagen matrix has also been used in the studies of integrin signaling, cell apoptosis and cytoskeleton reorganization. Since three-dimensional matrix adhesions differ in structure, localization, and function from two-dimensional adhesions, and therefore, three-dimensional cell-matrix interactions may be more relevant biologically.
