Abstract

A microfluidic thrombosis-on-a-chip platform was developed to compare the pro-thrombotic response of healthy and inflamed monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs). Inflammation was induced by exposing the endothelial cells (ECs) to an inflammatory cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α). After human whole blood perfusion at an arterial shear rate, the platelet coverage and average clot size were determined. Healthy endothelium showed a lower platelet coverage than inflamed endothelium. A minor difference was measured for both platelet coverage and average clot sizes on inflamed HUVECs versus hiPSC-ECs.
