| Summary, etc. | The ultimate goal of this thesis is to develop a technology, which can provide an appropriate model and test system to detect and evaluate toxicity of chemical pollution in water. This technology is aimed at prouding rapid detection of chemical toxicity in a relatively simple and easy to use manner, yielding a useful tool for toxicity screening applications both in the laboratory and field. Dielectrophoresis (DEP), the translational movement of particles caused by a nonuniform AC electric field, has been used to detect changes in cell membrane properties following a variety of biological events. Cells possessing different dielectric properties experience different DEP forces and are caused to migrate differentially to strong or weak electric field regions. The central hypothesis of this work is that cells exposed to toxicants will exhibit modifications in cellular characteristics that result in dielectric changes that can be detected by DEP. Time and dose responses of the human cultured leukemia (HL-60) line and fish cell line (fathead minnow, FHM) were measured following exposure to paraquat, styrene oxide (SO), N-Nitroso-N-Methylurea (NMU) and puromycin. These toxicants were selected to represent different predominant mechanisms of action, namely membrane free radical attack, simultaneous membrane and nucleic acid attack, nucleic acid alkylation, ·and protein synthesis inhibition, respectively. For all toxicant treatments, the specific membrane capacitance ( C111e111) of the cells decreased while the specific membrane conductance (Gmem) increased in dose- and time- dependent manners. The DEP responses correlated sensitively with alterations in cell surface morphology, especially folds, microvilli, and blebs, observed by scanning electron microscopy. Different sensitivities of cell responses were observed for each toxicant studied in the order paraquat > SO > puromycin > NMU for HL-60 cells. FHM cells were more sensitive to all toxicants than HL-60 cells and showed membrane dielectric responses at ve1y low doses and at shorter times than HL-60. Cellular responses to paraquat and styrene oxide, which directly damaged the cell membrane, could be detected 15 minutes after exposure, while responses to puromycin and NMU, which acted on intracellular targets, could be detected after 30 minutes. By comparison, cell viability assessments showed that 0% of HL-60 cells and less than 10% of FHM cells died at the doses and exposure durations at which dielectric responses could be detected. The detection times and dose sensitivity results revealed that the DEP method is much faster and more sensitive than conventional cell and higher organism viability testing techniques. Moreover, all tests were conducted using cells from higher organisms, therefore, the method can potentially provide better data pertaining to higher organisms responses, including human exposure risks, than methods based on lower organisms. These results suggest the possibility of producing new technologies for toxicity detection and screening based on cellular dielectric responses. A prototype DEP-based instrnments for environmental toxicity applications was designed and built using Micro Total Analysis System (~LT AS) concepts. This microfluidic device integrated a microchip, interconnected channels and chambers. All sample manipulation steps including cell and toxicant mixing, cell characterization in DEP-FFF system and cell detection using AC impedance sensor, took place in this one chip under electronic control. The results demonstrated that DEP- based microfluidic devices are potentially useful tools for toxicity screening and the rapid detection of cellular responses to toxicants. |
