Poor oxygen transport is a major obstacle currently in the field of spheroid/organoid 3D cell culture platforms, which at this time cannot be grown large enough to be truly physiologically relevant and replicate adult human organ functions. To overcome internal local oxygen transport deficiencies, oxygenating microgels were formed utilizing perfluorocarbon (PFC) modified chitosan and a highly scalable water-in-oil mini-emulsion method. Microgels that are on the order of a cell dimeter (~10-40 microns) were formed allowing them to directly associate with cells when included in 3D spheroid culture, while not being internalized. The presence of immobilized PFCs in these microgels allows for enhancement and tuning of oxygen transport when incorporated into cultured microtissues. As such, it was demonstrated that incorporating oxygenating microgels from ratios of 50:1, 150:1, 400:1 (number of cells: number of microgels) into dense human fibroblast-based spheroids facilitated the growth of larger human cell-based spheroids, especially at the highest incorporation ratio (50:1), which lacked defined hypoxic cores. Further, hypoxia staining was increasingly reduced upon the incorporation of more chitosan-PFC microgels as compared to control spheroids with no microgels. Quantification of total double-stranded (ds)-DNA, an indicator of total live cells, demonstrated similar results to hypoxia quantification, showing more ds-DNA due to incorporation of oxygenating microgels. Finally, oxygen concentrations were measured at different depths within spheroids directly and confirmed higher oxygen partial pressures due to the integration of chitosan-PFC microspheres. Notably, the center of spheroids incorporating 50:1 chitosan-PFC microgels enhanced oxygen tensions by approximately 30 mmHg over control spheroids. This work demonstrates the importance of addressing oxygen transport for culturing 3D microtissues and offers a new materials-based approach to enhance oxygen transport in these systems. Oxygen availability and transport are a barrier to spheroid/organoid research. Here oxygenating microgels to sustain microtissues in vitro are created via water-in-oil miniemulsion. These particles are incorporated into high-density large cellular spheroids at seeding to locally enhance oxygenation to maintain cells, reduce hypoxia, and necrosis during cell culture under static conditions - presenting a new strategy for improving oxygen transport.
