Mechanical stimulation affects cell behaviors (proliferation, orientation, migration and differentiation) in vivo, and a lot of models of experiments on mechanical stimulation in vitro have been reported. The development of control technique on cell is important in the field of regenerative medicine. Recently, skeletal myoblasts have been applied for cardiac repair. In the previous study, C2C12 (mouse myoblast cell line) made orientation perpendicular to the streamlines in the donut shape flow channel. In the present study, C2C12 has been cultured in the Couette type of the shear field between the rotating disk and the stationary culture plate to study quantitatively the effect of shear stress (for 24 hours, < 2 Pa) on orientation of myoblasts in vitro. The time lapse image of myoblasts shows that C2C12 tilts perpendicularly against the flow direction at the wall shear stress of 2 Pa and that C2C12 tends to migrate to the lower wall shear stress region of 0.4 Pa.

It is already known that micro gravity affects astronaut’s body. In contrary, hyper-gravity might affect myoblasts. In the present study, mouse muscle cells (C2C12) were cultured four five hours in hyper-gravitational environment (50 G, 100 G) using the centrifugal machine placed in the incubator. Cells were observed at the incubator microscope for 24 hours after stopping centrifugation. The contour of each cell at the time-lapse images was approximated to the ellipsoid and several parameters were calculated: the angle, the area, and the aspect ratio. Each cell tends to shrink from the extended shape under hyper-gravitational environment. The directions of the major axis at 50% of cells tilt to the parallel direction to the hypergravity. After 24 hours, 51% of cells tilt to the perpendicular direction of the hypergravity in the 50 G group. The result shows that the history of hyper-gravitational environment affects the shape of cells.

A parallel-piped flow channel with micro-striped patterns has been designed to study the effect of the shear field on the myoblast in vitro. The micro-pattern was manufactured with the photolithography technique and used for the scaffold of the cell culture in the flow chamber placed in the incubator on the microscope. Variation was made on the angle between the stripe of the pattern and the flow direction: 0, 45, and 90 degrees. After cultivation for 4 hours, C2C12 (mouse myoblast cell line) adhered on the micro-pattern was exposed to the shear flow for 4 hours. The wall shear stress is estimated from the parabolic velocity profile in the medium between the parallel walls. With the experimental system, the following tendencies of responses (deformation, orientation, and migration) of each cell was observed. Under the wall shear stress of < 3 Pa, each cell deforms to the round shape at first, and extends again along the stripe-pattern. Orientation of each cell is collapsed during exposure to the wall shear stress of 3 Pa, and is recovered after stopping exposure to the shear field. The results show that the experimental system is available to investigate quantitatively the effect of mechanical stress field on the oriented cell.
