Abstract
Preparation of the substrate for culturing hepatocyte spheroids with arrayed format was achieved by UV-photolithography using poly(vinyl alcohol)-based non-cell adhesive negative-type photoresist. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) seeded onto the substrate only adhered to no-photoresist domains. Rat hepatocytes were subsequently seeded onto the micropatterned-BAECs. Almost hepatocytes formed spheroid only onto the micropatterned-BAECs, but some hepatocytes adhered onto AWP region non-specifically with round form. The hepatocytes on AWP were detached from the surface with increasing culture period. Cytochrome P450 3A1 and 3A2 activities were measured with testosterone-6β-hydroxylation assay. The activities were maintained the initial level during 14 day, and at least 70% of initial activity, after day 30 culture.
