| Abstract | Micro total analysis systems (-TAS) or labs-on-a-chip, have been spreading rapidly due to their desirable characteristics, including reductions in reagent consumption, space requirements and analysis time. This work aimed at establishing an integrated microfluidic system which can supply the cells with fresh medium of oxygen and nutrition continuously at a control flow rate mimicking the microenvironment in vivo. Human non-small cell lung cancer cell line SPCA1 was seeded in a microchip supplied with fresh medium at a constant rate of 15 mm/24 h controlled by a pump. The expression of P-gp for verapamil-pretreated or non-pretreated cells was assayed with immunofluorescence. Both groups cells were exposed to anticancer drug VP-16 at 30 μM for 6 h before the apoptosis analysis online. The results indicated that the cells could grow and spread well for 4 days in the microfluidic system successively furnished with fresh medium. Immunofluorescence assay showed that the intensity of the fluorescence for the verapamil-pretreated cells was obvious weak compared with that of non-pretreated cells. Apoptosis analysis demonstrated that the percentage of apoptotic cells for verapamil-pretreated group increased around twofold compared with that of non-verapamil pretreated group (26.5 ± 2.5% versus 10.9 ± 0.85%, p < 0.05), showing a similar results as by flow cytometry analysis. All these indicate that P-gp plays an important role in the resistance to VP-16 in SPCA1, the microfluidic system provides a suitable environment for cells survival and is valuable in long time cell culture and bioassays mimicking the microenvironment in vivo and deserved to be studied further. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
