Abstract

In this study, we have established 5 different micro-organs (Cortex-Hippocampus-Heat-Liver-Tumor) network in vitro in the 96-well format-based microfluidic platform by physically separating but fluidically interconnecting spherical microtissues (MTs) via the microfluidic channel. An effect of the anti-cancer drug, 5-fluorouaracil (5-FU), on tumor MT and also other organotypic MTs was investigated with their interaction through microfluidic network in vitro for 3-day cultivation While no significant suppression was observed when tumor MTs were solely cultured in 5-FU, growth of tumor MTs was suppressed in the in vitro 5 micro-organ network without critical impact on the other 4 MTs. It addresses feasibility of our microfluidic platform for more complex and comprehensive pharmacokinetic study in an in vivo-like in vitro physiological environment.
