研究目的
Investigating redox changes in live HeLa cervical cancer cells after doxorubicin treatment using FLIM-based metrics and FRET interactions to track metabolic responses.
研究成果
The research demonstrates that NAD(P)H-a2% serves as a simpler and effective metric for assessing cellular redox states, correlating highly with the more complex FLIRR ratio. It highlights heterogeneous responses to doxorubicin treatment in single cells, with early metabolic changes predictive of apoptosis. The FRET interaction between Trp and NAD(P)H and the NADPH/NADH ratio provide additional biomarkers for monitoring metabolic dynamics, supporting the use of FLIM in cancer research and potential clinical applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to monolayer cancer cell cultures, which may not fully represent the heterogeneity of solid tumors. The FRET analysis relies on assumptions about Trp-NAD(P)H interactions without a true single-label reference, and the NADPH/NADH ratio calculation is based on a formula that may not capture all biochemical nuances. Potential photo-bleaching and instrument sensitivity could affect measurements, though FLIM is noted to be less susceptible than intensity-based methods.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) to analyze redox states in HeLa cells treated with doxorubicin. It employs two-photon excitation for NAD(P)H and FAD, and three-photon for Tryptophan, with FLIM data fitting using a two-component incomplete model.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
HeLa cervical cancer cells were cultured in DMEM with 10% cosmic calf serum, plated on cover slips, and treated with 1 μM doxorubicin. Data were collected from 51 cells at control and post-treatment time points (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a Zeiss LSM-780 NLO microscope, Chameleon Vision-II laser, HPM-100-40 detectors, SPC-150 cards, and various filters. Materials include DMEM, cosmic calf serum, doxorubicin, and cover slips.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Cells were imaged before and after treatment at identical fields-of-view. FLIM images were acquired at 740 nm for NAD(P)H and Trp (60s), and 890 nm for FAD (60s), with temperature maintained at 37°C. Data were processed using ImageJ/FIJI and custom Python code for segmentation and analysis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
FLIM parameters (lifetimes, fractions) were extracted, and statistical analysis included Pearson correlation coefficients, means, medians, histograms, and P-values with significance level α=0.05.
