Cell proliferation and survival are dependent on mass transfer.In vivo, fluid flow promotes mass transfer through the vasculature and interstitial space, providing a continuous supply of nutrients and removal of cellular waste products. In the absence of sufficient flow, mass transfer is limited by diffusion and poses significant challenges to cell survival during tissue engineering, tissue transplantation, and treatment of degenerative diseases. Artificial perfusion may overcome these challenges. In this work, we compare the efficacy of pressure driven perfusion (PDP) with electrokinetic perfusion (EKP) toward reducing cell mortality in three-dimensional cultures of Matrigel extracellular matrix. We characterize electro-osmotic flow through Matrigel to identify conditions that generate similar interstitial flow rates to those induced by pressure. We also compare changes in cell mortality induced by continuous or pulsed EKP. We report that continuous EKP significantly reduced mortality throughout the perfusion channels more consistently than PDP at similar flow rates, and pulsed EKP decreased mortality just as effectively as continuous EKP. We conclude that EKP has significant advantages over PDP for promoting tissue survival before neovascularization and angiogenesis.Impact statementInterstitial flow helps promote mass transfer and cell survival in tissues and organs. This study generated interstitial flow using pressure driven perfusion (PDP) or electrokinetic perfusion (EKP) to promote cell viability in three-dimensional cultures. EKP through charged extracellular matrices possesses significant advantages over PDP and may promote cell survival during tissue engineering, transplantations, and treatment of degenerative diseases.
