Models of reabsorptive barriers require both a means to provide realistic
physiologic cues to and quantify transport across a layer of cells forming the
barrier. Here we have topographically-patterned porous membranes with several
user-defined pattern types. To demonstrate the utility of the patterned
membranes, we selected one type of pattern and applied it to a membrane to serve
as a cell culture support in a microfluidic model of a renal reabsorptive
barrier. The topographic cues in the model resemble physiological cues found in
vivo while the porous structure allows quantification of transport across the
cell layer. Sub-micron surface topography generated via hot-embossing onto a
track-etched polycarbonate membrane, fully replicated topographical features and
preserved porous architecture. Pore size and shape were analyzed with SEM and
image analysis to determine the effect of hot embossing on pore morphology. The
membrane was assembled into a bilayer microfluidic device and a human kidney
proximal tubule epithelial cell line (HK-2) and primary renal proximal tubule
epithelial cells (RPTEC) were cultured to confluency on the membrane.
Immunofluorescent staining of both cell types revealed protein expression
indicative of the formation of a reabsorptive barrier responsive to mechanical
stimulation: ZO-1 (tight junction), paxillin (focal adhesions) and acetylated
?-tubulin (primary cilia). HK-2 and RPTEC aligned in the direction of
ridge/groove topography of the membrane in the device, evidence that the device
has mechanical control over cell response. This topographically-patterned porous
membrane provides an in vitro platform on which to model reabsorptive barriers
with meaningful applications for understanding biological transport phenomenon,
underlying disease mechanisms, and drug toxicity.
