摘要: This study presents the time-resolved detection of chemically induced stress upon intracellular signaling cascades by using genetically modified sensor cells based on human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. The were stably transfected with a HSP72-GFP reporter gene construct to create an optical expressing stress-inducible protein. time- and dose-dependent performance is demonstrated discussed in comparison label-free impedimetric monitoring approach (electric cell-substrate impedance sensing, ECIS). Moreover, microfluidic platform was established μSlidesI(0,4)Luer allow for convenient, sterile incubator-independent time-lapse microscopic observation cells. Cell growth successfully achieved this setup cellular response cytotoxic substance could be followed real-time non-invasive, sensitive manner. paves way development micro-total analysis systems that combine readouts enable overall quantitative characterization changes metabolism morphology as toxin exposure. By recording multiple parameters, detailed discrimination between competing stress- or growth-related mechanisms possible, thereby presenting entirely new vitro alternative skin irritation tests.
