Objective To discuss the feasibility of microfluidic chip to realize high content screening (HCS). Methods In this paper, microfluidic chip and HCS were successfully combined together. We fabricated a microfluidic chip made from polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and glass, then accomplished the culture of MCF-7 cell line, the transfection of Endo G-GFP, and the stimulation of curcumin on this chip, finally acquired data with a microscopic imaging system. Results Curcumin could induce the apoptosis of MCF-7, and the effect relied on the concentration. The information related to apoptosis were obtained: with the increasing of the concentration of curcumin, the percentage of apoptotic cells and the proportion of relocation of Endo G-GFP went up, the permeability of plasma membrane increased, and the nuclear size diminished. Conclusions All the results demonstrated that microfluidic chip could provide a good platform for HCS.
