Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a flow-cytometry-based technique to analyze the adhesion/uptake amounts of particles onto/into cells at single-particle, single-cell level with high throughput. These adhesion and uptake amounts qualitatively agreed with the adhesion force measured by colloid-probe atomic force microscopy and the uptake rate observed by scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Protein-coated or saccharide-modified particles were fabricated, and the effect of these particle surface properties on the force, amount, and rate of particle adhesion/uptake onto/into a macrophage was investigated. The force and amount of particle adhesion were not always correlated with the rate of particle uptake. Further study is necessary to elucidate the detailed mechanism of particle adhesion/uptake by macrophage.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
大食細胞(マクロファージ)への微粒子の付着・取込は、生体がもつ免疫系での一連のプロセスの最上流に位置し、複数の物理化学的および細胞生物学的な相互作用が関与する極めて複雑な現象である。この現象を理解することは、微粒子の生体影響評価、先端医療を支えるバイオマテリアルの表面設計など、多くの分野において極めて重要である。しかし、基礎的な理解がなされないまま、研究・開発が進められることが多い。本研究において開発された「細胞への粒子の付着・取込」に関する単一粒子・単一細胞レベルの観測技術およびモデル粒子の作製技術は、マクロファージへの粒子の付着・取込の詳細メカニズム解明に向けて、貢献すると考えられる。
