We have developed a miniaturized hollow-fiber bioreactor system for mammalian cell culture with a volume of 1 mL. Cell and medium compartments of the bioreactor are separated by a semipermeable membrane, and oxygenation of the cell compartment is accomplished using an oxygenation membrane. As a result of the geometry of the transparent housing, cells can be observed by microscopy during culture. The leukemic cell lines CCRF-CEM, HL-60, and REH were cultivated up to densities of 3.5 x 10(7)/ mL without medium change or manipulation of the cells. As shown using CCRF-CEM cells, growth in the bioreactor was strongly influenced and could be controlled by the medium flow rate. As a consequence, consumption of glucose and generation of lactate varied with flow rate. Depending on the molecular size cutoff of the membranes used, added growth factors such as GM-CSF, as well as factors secreted from the cells, are retained in the cell compartment for up to 1 week. This new miniaturized hollow-fiber bioreactor offers advantages in tissue engineering by continuous nutrient supply for cells in high density, retention of added or autocrine produced factors, and undisturbed long-term culture in a closed system.
