Overview

Use CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Cartridges with the CellPoreā„¢ Transfection System to enable cytosolic delivery of diverse cargo, including nucleic acids (e.g. siRNA, mRNA, self-amplifying RNA), ribonucleoproteins (e.g. Cas9 RNPs), proteins, and other biomolecules to a variety of cell types. These cartridges feature integrated microchannels (constrictions) of specific dimensions that leverage mechanical deformation to achieve transient non-toxic disruption (mechanoporation) of the cell membrane. This physical delivery method offers a gentler approach, making it an ideal solution for sensitive and hard-to-transfect cells while preserving cell viability and function. Each cartridge comes pre-assembled, and includes an insert for handling the cell & cargo mixture, as well as its collection tube for easy and streamlined post-mechanoporation handling. Together, each CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Cartridge supports sample volumes ranging from 20 to 200 μL.

CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Cartridges are currently available in two constriction sizes, each specifically designed to accommodate a broad range of cell types.

CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Cartridges 300 are compatible with:
•Human unactivated pan T cells
•Human unactivated CD4 T cells
•Human unactivated CD8 T cells
•Human unactivated Regulatory T cells,
•Human unactivated Natural Killer (NK) cells
•Human unactivated B cells
•Human monocytes
•Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
•Human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs)
•Mouse T cells

CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Cartridges 500 are compatible with:
•Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
•Human Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)

CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Cartridges are recommended for use with CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Media and the CellPoreā„¢ Transfection System to support optimal transfection efficiency and viability during mechanoporation.

Data Figures

Optimizing CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Pressure for Efficient Transfection of hPSCs Using FITC-Dextran

Figure 1. Optimizing CellPoreā„¢ Delivery Pressure for Efficient Transfection of hPSCs Using FITC-Dextran

Newly passaged hPSC lines were cultured in complete mTeSRTM Medium for 7 days or until reaching 70% confluency. FITC-dextran was delivered to 3.5 x 105 cells per reaction in increasing pressure (5 - 25 psi). Immediately after delivery, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry to determine cargo delivery efficiency and cell viability. Conditions that maximized delivery efficiency with limited impacts to hPSC viability were determined to be 15 psi across 3 lines tested: (A) SCTi003-A hiPSC, (B) WLS-1C hiPSC, and (C) H9 hESC lines. The ā€Endocytosisā€ condition indicates a control where cells are incubated in the presence of FITC-dextran without mechanoporation. ā€œUntreatedā€ indicates an unmanipulated sample without FITC-dextran. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3).

The CellPoreā„¢ Transfection System Enables Reliable Cas9-RNP Editing Across a Wide Range of Cell Numbers

Figure 2. The CellPoreā„¢ Transfection System Enables Reliable Cas9-RNP Editing Across a Wide Range of Cell Numbers

RNP complexes targeting the B2M gene (1:2.5 Cas9:sgRNA mol ratio) were delivered to a range of hPSC numbers per reaction (from 3.5 Ɨ 105 up to 2 Ɨ 106) in 50 µL reactions at 15 psi. Cells were cultured for 2 days post-transfection to allow sufficient time for MHC-I surface marker knockout. Comparable viability, editing efficiency, and expansion were obtained across the cell number range tested for (A) SCTi003-A hiPSCs, (B) WLS-1C hiPSCs, and (C) H9 hESCs. No cargo indicates mechanoporation of hPSCs without RNP complexes at 3.5 Ɨ 105 cells per reaction. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3).

Gene-Edited hPSCs Manipulated by CellPoreā„¢ and Maintained in mTeSRā„¢ Plus Are of High Cell Quality

Figure 3. Gene-Edited hPSCs Manipulated by CellPoreā„¢ and Maintained in mTeSRā„¢ Plus Are of High Cell Quality

(A) Gene-edited hESC (H9) and hiPSC (WLS-1C, SCTi003-A) maintained in mTeSRā„¢ Plus on CorningĀ® MatrigelĀ® Matrix continue to exhibit classic hPSC morphology throughout the culture with densely packed, multilayered colonies. (B) hPSCs manipulated by CellPoreā„¢ (orange bars) harvested at Day 14 post-transfection were characterized for markers of the undifferentiated state, with > 90% of cells manipulated by CellPoreā„¢ (orange bars) staining positive for TRA-1-60 (left) and OCT4 (right), as determined by flow cytometry. Graphs show average expression (± standard deviation) results from analyses of 3 independent experiments. Genetic characterization using single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNPa) profiling confirmed no genetic perturbation across all 3 lines (data not shown).
