Résumé :

For live-cell imaging, two-photon excitation microscopy (TPEM) is proving to be a significant technological advancement. The unique features offered by TPEM are the ability to image thick sections, excellent optical sectioning capabilities, low damage to living cells, and less out of focus fluorescence and out of focus photobleaching. of these features, the most useful for the biological microscopist, is optical sectioning. Optical sectioning is an intrinsic property of the two-photon process, whereby, two infrared (IR) photons are absorbed quickly to excite a single UV/blue transition. The probability for exciting a two photon transition is proportional to the instantaneous excitation intensity squared. Therefore, for a focused laser beam, only light at the focal point of the excitation beam excites a fluorescent transition. Thus, the need for confocal apertures and time consuming deconvolution algorithms are, for the most part, eliminated.We have continued to develop and enhance our ability to perform high-speed, two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy. in 1998, we successfully deployed a prototype, video-rate twophoton laser scanning system (30 frames/sec or faster at reduced scan width) developed with support from Nikon Corporation. That system was built upon a Nikon RCM 8000 confocal microscope.

Conclusions 1538. Acknowledgements 1549. References 155This review is concerned with two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy (2PE) and related techniques, which are probably the most important advance in optical microscopy of biological specimens since the introduction of confocal imaging. The advent of 2PE on the scene allowed the design and performance of many unimaginable biological studies from the single cell to the tissue level, and even to whole animals, at a resolution ranging from the classical hundreds of nanometres to the single molecule size. Moreover, 2PE enabled long-term imaging of in vivo biological specimens, image generation from deeper tissue depth, and higher signal-to-noise images compared to wide-field and confocal schemes. However, due to the fact that up to this time 2PE can only be considered to be in its infancy, the advantages over other techniques are still being evaluated. Here, after a brief historical introduction, we focus on the basic principles of 2PE including fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The major advantages and drawbacks of 2PE-based experimental approaches are discussed and compared to the conventional single-photon excitation cases. In particular we deal with the fluorescence brightness of most used dyes and proteins under 2PE conditions, on the optical consequences of 2PE, and the saturation effects in 2PE that mostly limit the fluorescence output. A complete section is devoted to the discussion of 2PE of fluorescent probes. We then offer a description of the central experimental issues, namely: choice of microscope objectives, two-photon excitable dyes and fluorescent proteins, choice of laser sources, and effect of the optics on 2PE sensitivity. An inevitably partial, but vast, overview of the applications and a large and up-to-date bibliography terminate the review. As a conclusive comment, we believe that 2PE and related techniques can be considered as a mainstay of the modern biophysical research milieu and a bright perspective in optical microscopy.

Résumé :

Live cell imaging is a powerful tool for understanding the function and regulation of membrane proteins. In this review, we briefly discuss 4 fluorescence-microscopy-based techniques for studying the transport dynamics of membrane proteins: fluorescence-correlation spectroscopy, image-correlation spectroscopy, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, and single-particle and (or) molecule tracking. The advantages and limitations of each approach are illustrated using recent studies of an ion channel and cell adhesion molecules.

Résumé :

AbstractA number of fluorescence microscopy techniques are described to study dynamics of fluorescently labeled proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and whole organelles. However, for studies of plant plasma membrane (PM) proteins, the number of these techniques is still limited because of the high complexity of processes that determine the dynamics of PM proteins and the existence of cell wall. Here, we report on the usage of raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS) for studies of integral PM proteins in suspension-cultured tobacco cells and show its potential in comparison with the more widely used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching method. For RICS, a set of microscopy images is obtained by single-photon confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Fluorescence fluctuations are subsequently correlated between individual pixels and the information on protein mobility are extracted using a model that considers processes generating the fluctuations such as diffusion and chemical binding reactions. As we show here using an example of two integral PM transporters of the plant hormone auxin, RICS uncovered their distinct short-distance lateral mobility within the PM that is dependent on cytoskeleton and sterol composition of the PM. RICS, which is routinely accessible on modern CLSM instruments, thus represents a valuable approach for studies of dynamics of PM proteins in plants.

Résumé :

In this paper we discuss how the coincident detection of mobile particles in dual-color confocal images can be improved. Optimal coincidence detection requires a careful choice of experimental conditions and image acquisition parameters in order to maximize the overlap between the two detection volumes. By measuring this overlap with fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy, we show in particular that a small confocal field of view is necessary in order to maintain good coincidence. Most importantly, coincidence detection also requires a dedicated image analysis strategy. Traditionally, two approaches have been adopted to assess coincidence of mobile particles: fluorescence fluctuation measurements, notably cross-correlation spectroscopy, and single particle detection. Here we propose to combine these two approaches by calculating a cross-correlation coefficient for each of the detected single particles. We show that this allows to remove accidental coincidence events from a data set, and thus to unambiguously identify particles that instead carry two different fluorophores. This strategy can help increase the available concentration range for confocal coincidence measurements and detect rare binding events. [Formula: see text]Special Issue Comments: This article about coincident detection of mobile particle in two-color confocal images is thematically related to several articles in this Special Issue, namely the review of FRET-based single-molecule fluorescence techniques by Ruedas-Rama et al.,1 the single particle detection work presented by de Keersmaecker et al.2 and the general considerations on the mathematical treatment of single molecule trajectories presented by Flomenbom3. Our study of single liposomes is also relevant to experiments involving proteins and liposomes, such as the enzyme experiments described in the review by Jørgensen and Hatzakis.4

Résumé :

Super Resolution Microscopy revolutionized the approach to the study of molecular interactions by providing new quantitative tools to describe the scale below 100 nanometers. Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) reaches a spatial resolution less than 50 nm with a precision in calculating molecule coordinates between 10 and 20 nanometers. However new procedures are required to analyze data from the list of molecular coordinates created by SMLM. We propose new tools based on Image Cross Correlation Spectroscopy (ICCS) to quantify the colocalization of fluorescent signals at single molecule level. These analysis procedures have been inserted into an experimental pipeline to optimize the produced results. We show that Fluorescent NanoDiamonds targeted to an intracellular compartment can be employed (i) to correct spatial drift to maximize the localization precision and (ii) to register confocal and SMLM images in correlative multiresolution, multimodal imaging. We validated the ICCS based approach on defined biological control samples and showed its ability to quantitatively map area of interactions inside the cell. The produced results show that the ICCS analysis is an efficient tool to measure relative spatial distribution of different molecular species at the nanoscale.

Résumé :

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to introduce the basic principles behind the widely used microscopy tool: fluorescence fluctuation correlation spectroscopy (FFCS). We present the fundamentals behind single spot acquisition (FCS) and its extension to spatiotemporal sampling, which is implemented through image correlation spectroscopy (ICS). The article is an educational guide that introduces theoretic concepts of FCS and some of the ICS techniques, followed by interactive exercises in MATLAB. There, the learner can simulate data time series and the application of various FFCS techniques, as well as learn how to measure diffusion coefficients, molecular flow, and concentration of particles. Additionally, each section is followed by a short exercise to reinforce learning concepts by simulating different scenarios, seek verification of outcomes, and make comparisons. Furthermore, we invite the learner throughout the article to consult the literature for different extensions of FFCS techniques that allow measurements of different physicochemical properties of materials. Upon completion of the modules, we anticipate the learner will gain a good understanding in the field of FFCS that will encourage further exploration and adoption of the FFCS tools in future research and educational practices.

Résumé :

Since the introduction of super-resolution microscopy, there has been growing interest in quantifying the nanoscale spatial distributions of fluorescent probes to better understand cellular processes and their interactions. One way to check if distributions are correlated or not is to perform colocalization analysis of multi-color acquisitions. Among all the possible methods available to study and quantify the colocalization between multicolor images, there is image cross-correlation spectroscopy (ICCS). The main advantage of ICCS, in comparison with other co-localization techniques, is that it does not require pre-segmentation of the sample into single objects. Here we show that the combination of structured illumination microscopy (SIM) with ICCS (SIM-ICCS) is a simple approach to quantify colocalization and measure nanoscale distances from multi-color SIM images. We validate the SIM-ICCS analysis on SIM images of optical nanorulers, DNA-origami-based model samples containing fluorophores of different colors at a distance of 80 nm. The SIM-ICCS analysis is compared with an object-based analysis performed on the same samples. Finally, we show that SIM-ICCS can be used to quantify the nanoscale spatial distribution of functional nuclear sites in fixed cells.

Résumé :

ABSTRACT Research about the reactional and structural dynamics of biofilms at the molecular level has made great strides, owing to efficient fluorescence imaging methods in terms of spatial resolution and fast acquisition time but also to noninvasive conditions of observation consistent with in situ biofilm studies. In addition to conventional fluorescence intensity imaging, the fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) module can now be routinely implemented on commercial confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs). This method allows measuring of local diffusion coefficients in biofilms and could become an alternative to fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). We present here an image-based FRAP protocol to improve the accuracy of FRAP measurements inside “live” biofilms and the corresponding analysis. An original kymogram representation allows control of the absence of perturbing bacterial movement during image acquisition. FRAP data analysis takes into account molecular diffusion during the bleach phase and uses the image information to extract molecular diffusion coefficients. The fluorescence spatial intensity profile analysis used here for the first time with biofilms is supported both by our own mathematical model and by a previously published one. This approach was validated to FRAP experiments on fluorescent-dextran diffusion inside Lactoccocus lactis and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia biofilms, and the results were compared to previously published FCS measurements.

Résumé :

Immature HIV virions have a lattice of Gag and Gag-Pol proteins anchored to the lumen of their envelope. This lattice has significant void spaces that were previously characterized by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, cryoelectron tomography, and iPALM imaging. In the current study, we demonstrate that HIV virus-like particles (VLPs,) assembled by the viral protein Gag tagged at its C terminus with the photoactivable fluorescent protein Dendra, and are of the same size as virus-like particles assembled using only HIV Gag (140 ± 15 nm). We show that the Gag-Dendra lattice observed within these VLPs has similar gaps as those observed in Gag-only VLPs. We further used time-lapse iPALM microscopy to image the Gag–Dendra lattice within the lumen of VLPs at two timepoints. The reconstruction of these time-lapse images shows significant lattice dynamics within the lumen of purified VLPs. The addition of disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) to the purified VLPs completely abrogated these dynamics. A method to quantify the dynamics of the Gag–Dendra lattice using correlation function analysis is further presented. The HIV Gag lattice, along with the structural lattices of many other viruses, have been mostly considered static. Our study provides an important tool to investigate the dynamics within these lattices and also highlights the effects of fluorescent tags on virion structures.

Résumé :

The limited photon budget of fluorescent dyes is the main limitation for localization precision in localization-based super-resolution microscopy. Points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (PAINT)-based techniques use the reversible binding of fluorophores and can sample a single binding site multiple times, thus elegantly circumventing the photon budget limitation. With DNA-based PAINT (DNA-PAINT), resolutions down to a few nanometers have been reached on DNA-origami nanostructures. However, for long acquisition times, we find a photo-induced depletion of binding sites in DNA-PAINT microscopy that ultimately limits the quality of the rendered images. Here we systematically investigate the loss of binding sites in DNA-PAINT imaging and support the observations with measurements of DNA hybridization kinetics via surface-integrated fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (SI-FCS). We do not only show that the depletion of binding sites is clearly photo-induced, but also provide evidence that it is mainly caused by dye-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We evaluate two possible strategies to reduce the depletion of binding sites: By addition of oxygen scavenging reagents, and by the positioning of the fluorescent dye at a larger distance from the binding site.

Résumé :

To investigate how chromatin architecture is spatiotemporally organized at a double-strand break (DSB) repair locus, we established a biophysical method to quantify chromatin compaction at the nucleosome level during the DNA damage response (DDR). The method is based on phasor image-correlation spectroscopy of histone fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)-Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy data acquired in live cells coexpressing H2B-eGFP and H2B-mCherry. This multiplexed approach generates spatiotemporal maps of nuclear-wide chromatin compaction that, when coupled with laser microirradiation-induced DSBs, quantify the size, stability, and spacing between compact chromatin foci throughout the DDR. Using this technology, we identify that ataxia–telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and RNF8 regulate rapid chromatin decompaction at DSBs and formation of compact chromatin foci surrounding the repair locus. This chromatin architecture serves to demarcate the repair locus from the surrounding nuclear environment and modulate 53BP1 mobility.

Résumé :

The members of the Bacteroidetes phylum move on surfaces by gliding motility in the absence of external motility appendages, leading to the formation of spreading colonies. Here, the structural features of the spreading colony were assessed in a uranium-tolerant Bacteroidetes bacterium, Chryseobacterium sp. strain PMSZPI, by using correlative light and scanning electron microscopy (CLSEM). We developed a simple and convenient workflow for CLSEM using a shuttle and find software module and a correlative sample holding slide designed to transport samples between the light/fluorescence microscope (LM/FM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to image spreading colony edges. The datasets from the CLSEM studies allowed convenient examination of the colonial organization by LM/FM followed by ultrastructural analysis by SEM. The regions of interest (ROIs) of the spreading colony edges that were observed in LM/FM in the absence and presence of uranium could be re-identified in the SEM quickly without prolonged searching. Perfect correlation between LM and SEM could be achieved with minimum preparation steps. Subsequently, imaging of the correlated regions was done at higher resolution in SEM to obtain more comprehensive information. We further showed the association of uranium with the gliding PMSZPI cells by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) attached to SEM.

Résumé :

Cilia are motile and sensory organelles with important roles in human development, physiology, and disease. Genetic defects in cilia produce a host of disease symptoms, including polycystic kidney disease, hydrocephalus, retinal degeneration, chronic bronchiectasis, infertility, and polydactyly. Currently, there are no known drugs for pharmacological remediation of ciliary defects. Small-molecule modulators of ciliary assembly or function would provide potential lead compounds for drug discovery efforts and would immediately be invaluable tools for a chemical biology approach to studying cilia. Here the author describes 2 assays for ciliary motility that are quantitative, automatable, cost-effective, and simple to implement. Both assays exploit cell-based strategies using the model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The first assay scores cilia-dependent gravitaxis by analyzing the cell distribution in wells of U-bottom microplates, using a simple and robust image analysis algorithm. The second assay measures motility directly by estimating the time required for cells to swim across a small illuminated aperture using a method equivalent to fluorescence correlation spectroscopy adapted to transmitted-light microscopy. The 2 assays have different advantages in terms of speed and sensitivity to small reductions in motility and may be most efficiently used in combination.

Résumé :

In renal proximal tubule (PT) cells, sodium-phosphate cotransporter IIa (NaPiIIa) is normally concentrated within the apical membrane where it reabsorbs ∼70% of luminal phosphate (Pi). NaPiIIa activity is acutely regulated by moderating its abundance within the apical membrane. Under low-Pi conditions, NaPiIIa is retained within the apical membrane. Under high-Pi conditions, NaPiIIa is retrieved from the apical membrane and trafficked to the lysosomes for degradation. The present study investigates the role of Shank2 in regulating the distribution of NaPiIIa. In opossum kidney cells, a PT cell model, knockdown of Shank2 in cells maintained in low-Pi media resulted in a marked decrease in NaPiIIa abundance. After being transferred into high-Pi media, live-cell imaging showed that mRFP-Shank2E and GFP-NaPiIIa underwent endocytosis and trafficked together through the subapical domain. Fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy demonstrated that GFP-NaPiIIa and mRFP-Shank2 have indistinguishable diffusion coefficients and migrated through the subapical domain in temporal synchrony. Raster image cross-correlation spectroscopy demonstrated these two proteins course through the subapical domain in temporal-spatial synchrony. In the microvilli of cells under low-Pi conditions and in the subapical domain of cells under high-Pi conditions, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy-Forster resonance energy transfer analysis of Cer-NaPiIIa and EYFP-Shank2E found these fluors reside within 10 nm of each other. Demonstrating a complexity of functions, in cells maintained under low-Pi conditions, Shank2 plays an essential role in the apical retention of NaPiIIa while under high-Pi conditions Shank2 remains associated with NaPiIIa and escorts NaPiIIa through the cell interior.

Résumé :

The cell nucleus is a three-dimensional, dynamic organelle organized into subnuclear compartments such as chromatin and nucleoli. The structure and function of these compartments are maintained by diffusion and interactions between related factors as well as by dynamic and structural changes. Recent studies using fluorescent microscopic techniques suggest that protein factors can access and are freely mobile in heterochromatin and in mitotic chromosomes, despite their densely packed structure. However, the physicochemical properties of the chromosome during cell division are not fully understood. In the present study, characteristic properties such as the refractive index (RI), volume of the mitotic chromosomes, and diffusion coefficient (D) of fluorescent probes inside the chromosome were quantified using an approach combining label-free optical diffraction tomography with complementary confocal laser-scanning microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Variations in these parameters correlated with osmotic conditions, suggesting that changes in RI are consistent with those of the diffusion coefficient for mitotic chromosomes and cytosol. Serial RI tomography images of chromosomes in live cells during mitosis were compared with three-dimensional confocal micrographs to demonstrate that compaction and decompaction of chromosomes induced by osmotic change were characterized by linked changes in chromosome RI, volume, and the mobilities of fluorescent proteins.

Résumé :

Equatorial organization of myosin II and actin has been recognized as a universal event in cytokinesis of animal cells. Current models for the formation of equatorial cortex favor either directional cortical transport toward the equator or localized de novo assembly. However, this process has never been analyzed directly in dividing mammalian cells at a high resolution. Here we applied total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRF-M), coupled with spatial temporal image correlation spectroscopy (STICS) and a new analytical approach termed temporal differential microscopy (TDM), to image the dynamics of myosin II and actin during the assembly of equatorial cortex. Our results indicated distinct and at least partially independent mechanisms for the early equatorial recruitment of myosin and actin filaments. Cortical myosin showed no detectable directional flow during early cytokinesis. In addition to equatorial assembly, we showed that localized inhibition of disassembly contributed to the formation of the equatorial myosin band. In contrast to myosin, actin filaments underwent a striking flux toward the equator. Myosin motor activity was required for the actin flux, but not for actin concentration in the furrow, suggesting that there was a flux-independent, de novo mechanism for actin recruitment along the equator. Our results indicate that cytokinesis involves signals that regulate both assembly and disassembly activities and argue against mechanisms that are coupled to global cortical movements.

Résumé :

We are developing novel nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microscopy, spectroscopy and combined NMR/optical techniques for the study of biofilms under known, controlled growth conditions. Objectives include: time and depth-resolved metabolite concentrations with isotropic spatial resolution on the order of 10 microns, metabolic pathways and flux rates, mass transport and ultimately their correlation with gene expression by optical microscopy in biofilms. We describe the implementation of ex-situ grown biofilms to improve growth environment control and NMR analysis. In-situ NMR depth resolved metabolite profiling techniques are introduced and demonstrated for a Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 biofilm. Finally, initial combined confocal fluorescence and magnetic resonance images are shown for a GFP-labeled Shewanella biofilm. These methods are equally applicable to other biofilm systems of interest; thus they may provide a significant contribution toward the understanding of adherent cell metabolism.

Using confocallaser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and Image Correlation Spectroscopy(ICS) NBD-GD1a is shown to exist in at least two populations: dispersedand aggregated. By quantifying the distribution of NBD-GD1a pre- andpost-incubation with Sendai virus it is shown that the virus inducesa dose-dependent clustering of NBD-GD1a. Image cross-correlationspectroscopy (ICCS) is used to further quantitatively characterizethis clustering by demonstrating that it occurs due to binding ofvirus to the dispersed population of NBD-GD1a.

Résumé :

The cell wall sensor Wsc1 belongs to a small family of transmembrane proteins, which are crucial to sustain cell integrity in yeast and other fungi. Wsc1 acts as a mechanosensor of the cell wall integrity (CWI) signal transduction pathway which responds to external stresses. Here we report on the purification of Wsc1 by its trapping in water-soluble polymer-stabilized lipid nanoparticles, obtained with an amphipathic styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymer. The latter was employed to transfer tagged sensors from their native yeast membranes into SMA/lipid particles (SMALPs), which allows their purification in a functional state, i.e., avoiding denaturation. The SMALPs composition was characterized by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, followed by two-dimensional image acquisition from single particle transmission electron microscopy to build a three-dimensional model of the sensor. The latter confirms that Wsc1 consists of a large extracellular domain connected to a smaller intracellular part by a single transmembrane domain, which is embedded within the hydrophobic moiety of the lipid bilayer. The successful extraction of a sensor from the yeast plasma membrane by a detergent-free procedure into a native-like membrane environment provides new prospects for in vitro structural and functional studies of yeast plasma proteins which are likely to be applicable to other fungi, including plant and human pathogens.

Résumé :

As a traditional dye, malachite green (MG) poses a threat to our environment and health. To decolorize MG, a composite ceramsite adsorbent composed of coal fly ash (CFA), sewage treatment sludge (STS), and waste glass (WG) with a quality ratio of 3 : 3 : 4, respectively, was prepared. The optimal preparation parameters were determined as follows: preheating temperature = 600 ° C , sintering temperature = 1157 ° C , and sintering time = 17 min . Under optimal conditions, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the X-Com-ceramsite sample exhibits rough features and a porous structure. The obtained X-Com-ceramsite has a good MG decolorization effect (92% decolorization rate with an initial MG concentration of 56.876 mg/L). The q max value of MG can reach up to 37.6 mg/g. The retention degree of MG in the X-Com-ceramsite with a relatively higher pH is stronger, and the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Synchronous fluorescence, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) proved that the sensitivity of the C-O/C-O-O functional groups of the carbohydrates on the surface of the X-Com-ceramsite has a higher binding affinity toward MG as the initial concentration of MG changes.

Résumé :

The cell nucleus is three-dimensionally and dynamically organized by nuclear components with high molecular density, such as chromatin and nuclear bodies. The structure and functions of these components are represented by the diffusion and interaction of related factors. Recent studies suggest that the nucleolus can be assessed using various protein probes, as the probes are highly mobile in this organelle, although it is known that they have a densely packed structure. However, physicochemical properties of the nucleolus itself, such as molecular density and volume when cellular conditions are changed, are not yet fully understood. In this study, physical parameters such as the refractive index (RI) and volume of the nucleoli in addition to the diffusion coefficient (D) of fluorescent probe protein inside the nucleolus are quantified and compared by combining label-free optical diffraction tomography (ODT) with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM)-based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). 3D evaluation of RI values and corresponding RI images of nucleoli in live HeLa cells successfully demonstrated varying various physiological conditions. Our complimentary method suggests that physical property of the nucleolus in live cell is sensitive to ATP depletion and transcriptional inhibition, while it is insensitive to hyper osmotic pressure when compared with the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. The result demonstrates that the nucleolus has unique physicochemical properties when compared with other cellular components.

Résumé :

Regulated urine concentration takes place in the renal collecting duct upon arginine vasopressin (AVP) stimulation, where subapical vesicles containing aquaporin-2 (AQP2) are inserted into the apical membrane instantly increasing water reabsorption and urine concentration. The reabsorped water exits via basolateral AQP3 and AQP4. Upon long-term stimulation with AVP or during thirst, expression levels of both AQP2 and AQP3 are increased; however, there is so far no evidence for short-term AVP regulation of AQP3 or AQP4. To facilitate the increase in transepithelial water transport, AQP3 may be short-term regulated via changes in protein-protein interactions, incorporation into lipid rafts, and/or changes in steady-state turnover, which could result in changes in the diffusion behavior of AQP3. Thus we measured AQP3 diffusion coefficients upon stimulation with the AVP mimic forskolin to reveal if AQP3 could be short-term regulated by AVP. k-Space image correlation spectroscopy (kICS) analysis of time-lapse image sequences of basolateral enhanced green fluorescent protein-tagged AQP3 (AQP3-EGFP) revealed that the forskolin-mediated elevation of cAMP increased the diffusion coefficient by 58% from 0.0147 ± 0.0082 μm2/s (control) to 0.0232 ± 0.0085 μm2/s (forskolin, P < 0.05). Quantum dot-conjugated antibody labeling also revealed a significant increase in AQP3 diffusion upon forskolin treatment by 44% [0.0104 ± 0.0040 μm2/s (control) vs. 0.0150 ± 0.0016 μm2/s (forskolin, P < 0.05)]. Immunoelectron microscopy showed no obvious difference in AQP3-EGFP expression levels or localization in the plasma membrane upon forskolin stimulation. Thus AQP3-EGFP diffusion is altered upon increased cAMP, which may correspond to basolateral adaptations in response to the increased apical water readsorption.

Résumé :

ABSTRACT In recent years, BK virus (BKV) nephritis after renal transplantation has become a severe problem. The exact mechanisms of BKV cell entry and subsequent intracellular trafficking remain unknown. Since human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HRPTEC) represent a main natural target of BKV nephritis, analysis of BKV infection of HRPTEC is necessary to obtain additional insights into BKV biology and to develop novel strategies for the treatment of BKV nephritis. We coincubated HRPTEC with BKV and the cholesterol-depleting agents methyl beta cyclodextrin (MBCD) and nystatin (Nys), drugs inhibiting caveolar endocytosis. The percentage of infected cells (detected by immunofluorescence) and the cellular levels of BKV large T antigen expression (detected by Western blot analysis) were significantly decreased in both MBCD- and Nys-treated HPRTEC compared to the level in HRPTEC incubated with BKV alone. HRPTEC infection by BKV was also tested after small interfering RNA (siRNA)-dependent depletion of either the caveolar structural protein caveolin-1 (Cav-1) or clathrin, the major structural protein of clathrin-coated pits. BKV infection was inhibited in HRPTEC transfected with Cav-1 siRNA but not in HRPTEC transfected with clathrin siRNA. The colocalization of labeled BKV particles with either Cav-1 or clathrin was investigated by using fluorescent microscopy and image cross-correlation spectroscopy. The rate of colocalization of BKV with Cav-1 peaked at 4 h after incubation. Colocalization with clathrin was insignificant at all time points. These results suggest that BKV entered into HRPTEC via caveolae, not clathrin-coated pits, and that BKV is maximally associated with caveolae at 4 h after infection, prior to relocation to a different intracellular compartment.

Résumé :

Nowadays, morphology and molecular analyses at the single-cell level have a fundamental role in understanding biology better. These methods are utilized for cell phenotyping and in-depth studies of cellular processes, such as mitosis. Fluorescence microscopy and optical spectroscopy techniques, including Raman micro-spectroscopy, allow researchers to examine biological samples at the single-cell level in a non-destructive manner. Fluorescence microscopy can give detailed morphological information about the localization of stained molecules, while Raman microscopy can produce label-free images at the subcellular level; thus, it can reveal the spatial distribution of molecular fingerprints, even in live samples. Accordingly, the combination of correlative fluorescence and Raman microscopy (CFRM) offers a unique approach for studying cellular stages at the single-cell level. However, subcellular spectral maps are complex and challenging to interpret. Artificial intelligence (AI) may serve as a valuable solution to characterize the molecular backgrounds of phenotypes and biological processes by finding the characteristic patterns in spectral maps. The major contributions of the manuscript are: (I) it gives a comprehensive review of the literature focusing on AI techniques in Raman-based cellular phenotyping; (II) via the presentation of a case study, a new neural network-based approach is described, and the opportunities and limitations of AI, specifically deep learning, are discussed regarding the analysis of Raman spectroscopy data to classify mitotic cellular stages based on their spectral maps.

Résumé :

The two-point resolution of a novel two-color far-field super-resolution fluorescence microscopy was evaluated by measuring fluorescent beads 100 nm in diameter. This microscopy is based on a combination of two-color fluorescence dip spectroscopy and a phase-modulation technique for a laser beam. By simply introducing two-color laser light, the size of the fluorescent image of a bead was shrunk down to a diameter of 250 nm from the diffraction-limited image with a diameter of 360 nm. For two closely adjacent fluorescent beads with a separation distance of 350 nm, the two-color microscope clearly gave separated fluorescence images, while the conventional one-color fluorescence microscope could not resolve them. It has been proved that our technique breaks Rayleigh's diffraction limit.

This paper discusses recent advances in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for imaging of 3D structure as well as quantitative characterization of biomolecular interactions and diffusion behaviour by means of one- and two-photon excitation. The use of CLSM for improved stereological length estimation in thick (up to 0.5 mm) tissue is proposed. The techniques of FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer), FLIM (Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy), FCS (Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy) and FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching) are introduced and their applicability for quantitative imaging of biomolecular (co-)localization and trafficking in live cells described. The advantage of two-photon versus one-photon excitation in relation to these techniques is discussed.

Résumé :

Multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPM) has opened up an optical window into biological tissues; however, imaging is primarily qualitative. Cell morphology and tissue architectures can be clearly visualized but quantitative analysis of actual concentration and fluorophore distribution is indecisive. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a highly sensitive photophysical methodology employed to study molecular parameters such as diffusion characteristics on the single molecule level. In combination with laser scanning microscopy, and MPM in particular, FCS has been referred to as a standard and highly useful tool in biomedical research to study diffusion and molecular interaction with subcellular precision. Despite several proof-of-concept reports on the topic, the implementation of MPM-FCS is far from straightforward. This practical guideline aims to clarify the conceptual principles and define experimental operating conditions when implementing MPM-FCS. Validation experiments in Rhodamine solutions were performed on an experimental MPM-FCS platform investigating the effects of objective lens, fluorophore concentration and laser power. An approach based on analysis of time-correlated single photon counting data is presented. It is shown that the requirement of high numerical aperture (NA) objective lenses is a primary limitation that restricts field of view, working distance and concentration range. Within these restrictions the data follows the predicted theory of Poisson distribution. The observed dependence on laser power is understood in the context of perturbation on the effective focal volume. In addition, a novel interpretation of the effect on measured diffusion time is presented. Overall, the challenges and limitations observed in this study reduce the versatility of MPM-FCS targeting biomedical research in complex and deep tissue—being the general strength of MPM in general. However, based on the systematic investigations and fundamental insights this report can serve as a practical guide and inspire future research, potentially overcoming the technical limitations and ultimately allowing MPM-FCS to become a highly useful tool in biomedical research.

Résumé :

Quantitative Light-Induced fluorescence (QLF) has been widely used to detect tooth demineralization indicated by fluorescence loss with respect to surrounding sound enamel. The correlation between fluorescence loss and demineralization depth is not fully understood. The purpose of this project was to study this correlation to estimate demineralization depth. Extracted teeth were collected. Artificial caries-like lesions were created and imaged with QLF. Novel image processing software was developed to measure the largest percent of fluorescence loss in the region of interest. All teeth were then sectioned and imaged by polarized light microscopy. The largest depth of demineralization was measured by NIH ImageJ software. The statistical linear regression method was applied to analyze these data. The linear regression model wasY=0.32X+0.17, whereXwas the percent loss of fluorescence andYwas the depth of demineralization. The correlation coefficient was 0.9696. The two-tailed t-test for coefficient was 7.93, indicating theP-value=.0014. TheFtest for the entire model was 62.86, which shows theP-value=.0013. The results indicated statistically significant linear correlation between the percent loss of fluorescence and depth of the enamel demineralization.

Résumé :

Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) and liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTF) are evaluated for their suitability as fluorescence microscopy imaging spectrometers. AOTFs are solid-state birefringent crystals that provide an electronically tunable spectral notch passband in response to an applied acoustic field. LCTFs also provide a notch passband that can be controlled by incorporating liquid crystal waveplate retarders within a Lyot birefringent filter. In this paper, spectroscopic performance and imaging quality are contrasted by evaluation of model systems. Studies include transmission imaging of standard resolution targets, multispectral fluorescence emission imaging of tagged polystyrene microspheres, and immunofluorescence imaging of neurotransmitters within rat-brainstem thin sections. In addition, the first use of LCTFs for Raman microscopy is demonstrated. Raman microscopy is a noninvasive spectral imaging technique that can provide chemically significant image contrast complementary to fluorescence microscopy without the use of stains or tags.

This system is built around a commercial fluorescence microscope equipped with computer-controlled stage, focus and fluorescence excitation filter selection. A high resolution cooled CCD camera and a video frame rate intensified CCD (ICCD) are attached to different ports on the microscope and light is split between them. The real time images of the ICCD are continuously displayed on a monitor and are used for visual scanning and focusing. The high resolution CCD is used for image acquisition. Images from the CCD are digitized at 12 bits per pixel resulting in high dynamic range and high precision. QUIPS employs a fluorescence filter package containing a beam splitter and emission filter that pass light in bands centered at approximately 440 nm (blue), 525 nm (green) and 600 nm (red).

Résumé :

A fundamental feature of the eukaryotic cell membrane is the asymmetric arrangement of lipids in its two leaflets. A cell invests significant energy to maintain this asymmetry and uses it to regulate important biological processes, such as apoptosis and vesiculation. The dynamic coupling of the inner or cytoplasmic and outer or exofacial leaflets is a challenging open question in membrane biology. Here, we combined fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) with imaging total internal reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (ITIR-FCS) to differentiate the dynamics and organization of the two leaflets of live mammalian cells. We characterized the biophysical properties of fluorescent analogs of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and phosphatidylserine in the plasma membrane of two mammalian cell lines (CHO-K1 and RBL-2H3). Because of their specific transverse membrane distribution, these probes allowed leaflet-specific investigation of the plasma membrane. We compared the results of the two methods having different temporal and spatial resolution. Fluorescence lifetimes of fluorescent lipid analogs were in ranges characteristic for the liquid ordered phase in the outer leaflet and for the liquid disordered phase in the inner leaflet. The observation of a more fluid inner leaflet was supported by free diffusion in the inner leaflet, with high average diffusion coefficients. The liquid ordered phase in the outer leaflet was accompanied by slower diffusion and diffusion with intermittent transient trapping. Our results show that the combination of FLIM and ITIR-FCS with specific fluorescent lipid analogs is a powerful tool for investigating lateral and transbilayer characteristics of plasma membrane in live cell lines.

Résumé :

ABSTRACTDynamic processes during wet-heat treatment of individual spores ofBacillus cereus,Bacillus megaterium, andBacillus subtilisat 80 to 90°C were investigated using dual-trap Raman spectroscopy, differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, and nucleic acid stain (SYTO 16) fluorescence microscopy. During spore wet-heat treatment, while the spores' 1:1 chelate of Ca2+with dipicolinic acid (CaDPA) was released rapidly at a highly variable timeTlag, the levels of spore nucleic acids remained nearly unchanged, and theTlagtimes for individual spores from the same preparation were increased somewhat as spore levels of CaDPA increased. The brightness of the spores' DIC image decreased by ∼50% in parallel with CaDPA release, and there was no spore cortex hydrolysis observed. The lateral diameters of the spores' DIC image and SYTO 16 fluorescence image also decreased in parallel with CaDPA release. The SYTO 16 fluorescence intensity began to increase during wet-heat treatment at a time beforeTlagand reached maximum at a time slightly later thanTrelease. However, the fluorescence intensities of wet-heat-inactivated spores were ∼15-fold lower than those of nutrient-germinated spores, and this low SYTO 16 fluorescence intensity may be due in part to the low permeability of the dormant spores' inner membranes to SYTO 16 and in part to nucleic acid denaturation during the wet-heat treatment.
