Abstract

Rapid and accurate cancer drug screening is of great importance in precision medicine. However, the limited amount of tumor biopsy samples has hindered the application of traditional drug screening methods with microwell plates for individual patients. A microfluidic system provides an ideal platform for handling trace amounts of samples. This emerging platform has a good role in nucleic acid-related and cell related assays. Nevertheless, convenient drug dispensing remains a challenge for clinical on-chip cancer drug screening. Similar sized droplets are merged to add drugs for a desired screened concentration which significantly complicated the on-chip drug dispensing protocols. Here, we introduce a novel digital microfluidic system with a specially structured electrode (a drug dispenser) to dispense drugs by droplet electro-ejection under a high-voltage actuation signal, which can be conveniently adjusted by external electric controls. With this system, the screened drug concentrations span up to four orders of magnitude with small sample consumption. Various amounts of drugs can be delivered to the cell sample with desired amount in a flexible electric control. Moreover, single drug or combinatorial multidrug on-chip screening can be readily achieved. The drug response of normal MCF-10A breast cells and MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells to two chemotherapeutic substances, cisplatin (Cis) and epirubicin (EP), was tested individually and in combination for proof-of-principle verification. The comparable on-chip and off-chip results confirmed the feasibility of our innovative DMF system for cancer drug screening.
