This paper aims to the research of the impact of fluid shear stress on the adhesion between vascular endothelial cells and leukocyte induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) by microfliudic chip technology. Microfluidic chip was fabricated by soft lithograph;Endothelial microfluidic chip was constructed by optimizing types of the extracellular matrix proteins modified in the microchannel and cell incubation time;human umbilical vein endothelial cells EA.Hy926 lined in the microchannel were exposed to fluid shear stress of 1.68 dynes/cm2 and 8.4 dynes/cm2 respectively. Meanwhile, adhesion between EA.Hy926 cells and leukocyte was induced by TNF-αunder a flow condition. EA. Hy926 cell cultured in the static condition was used as control group. The numbers of fluorescently-labeled leukocyte in microchannel were counted to quantize the adhesion level between EA. Hy926 cells and leukocyte; cell immunofluorescence technique was used to detect the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) expression. The constructed endothelial microfluidic chip can afford to the fluid shear stress and respond to exogenous stimulus of TNF-α;compared with the adhesion numbers of leukocyte in control group, adhesion between EA. Hy926 cells exposed to low fluid shear stress and leukocyte was reduced under the stimulus of TNF-α at a concentration of 10 ng/ml(P
