Single-cell redox states analyzed by fluorescence lifetime metrics and tryptophan FRET interaction with NAD(P)H
摘要: Redox changes in live HeLa cervical cancer cells after doxorubicin treatment can either be analyzed by a novel fluorescence lifetime microscopy (FLIM)-based redox ratio NAD(P)H-a2%/FAD-a1%, called fluorescence lifetime redox ratio or one of its components (NAD(P)H-a2%), which is actually driving that ratio and offering a simpler and alternative metric and are both compared. Auto-fluorescent NAD(P)H, FAD lifetime is acquired by 2- photon excitation and Tryptophan by 3-photon, at 4 time points after treatment up to 60 min demonstrating early drug response to doxorubicin. Identical Fields-of-view (FoV) at each interval allows single-cell analysis, showing heterogeneous responses to treatment, largely based on their initial control redox state. Based on a discrete ROI selection method, mitochondrial OXPHOS and cytosolic glycolysis are discriminated. Furthermore, putative FRET interaction and energy transfer between tryptophan residue carrying enzymes and NAD(P)H correlate with NAD(P)H-a2%, as does the NADPH/NADH ratio, highlighting a multi-parametric assay to track metabolic changes in live specimens.

Layer-dependent signatures for exciton dynamics in monolayer and multilayer WSe2 revealed by fluorescence lifetime imaging measurement
摘要: Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have aroused noticeable interest due to their distinguished electronic and optical properties. However, little is known about their complex exciton properties together with the exciton dynamics process which have been expected to influence the performance of optoelectronic devices. The process of fluorescence can well reveal the process of exciton transition after excitation. In this work, the room-temperature layer-dependent exciton dynamics properties in layered WSe2 are investigated by the fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for the first time. This paper focuses on two mainly kinds of excitons including the direct transition neutral excitons and trions. Compared with the lifetime of neutral excitons (< 0.3 ns within four-layer), trions possess a longer lifetime (~ 6.6 ns within four-layer) which increases with the number of layers. We attribute the longer-lived lifetime to the increasing number of trions as well as the varieties of trion configurations in thicker WSe2. Besides, the whole average lifetime increases over 10% when WSe2 flakes added up from monolayer to four-layer. This paper provides a novel tuneable layer-dependent method to control the exciton dynamics process and finds a relatively longer transition lifetime of trions at room temperature, enabling to investigate in the charge transport in TMD-based optoelectronics devices in the future.

Distinct metabolic profiles in Drosophila sperm and somatic tissues revealed by two-photon NAD(P)H and FAD autofluorescence lifetime imaging
摘要: Metabolic profiles vary across all levels of biological diversity, from cells to taxa. Two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) facilitates metabolic characterisation of biological specimens by assaying the intrinsic autofluorescence of the ubiquitous coenzymes NAD(P)H and FAD. the potential of this method for characterising the diversity of organismal metabolism remains largely untapped. Using FLIM in Drosophila melanogaster, we show tissue-specificity in fluorescence lifetime that reflects variation in redox patterns. In particular, sperm cells exhibited elevated glycolysis relative to other tissues. We also show that sperm metabolism is phenotypically plastic: compared to male-stored sperm, sperm stored in the female’s storage organ showed a substantial reduction in the protein-bound FAD lifetime fraction but no change in the NAD(P)H profile. This study represents the first ex vivo investigation of sperm metabolism using FLIM.

Metabolic imaging with the use of?fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) accurately detects mitochondrial dysfunction in?mouse oocytes
摘要: To determine whether metabolic imaging with the use of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) identifies metabolic differences between normal oocytes and those with metabolic dysfunction. Experimental study. Academic research laboratories. None. Oocytes from mice with global knockout of Clpp (caseinolytic peptidase P; n ? 52) were compared with wild-type (WT) oocytes (n ? 55) as a model of severe oocyte dysfunction. Oocytes from old mice (1 year old; n ? 29) were compared with oocytes from young mice (12 weeks old; n ? 35) as a model of mild oocyte dysfunction. FLIM was used to measure the naturally occurring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) autofluorescence in individual oocytes. Eight metabolic parameters were obtained from each measurement (4 per fluorophore): short (t1) and long (t2) fluorescence lifetime, fluorescence intensity (I), and fraction of the molecule engaged with enzyme (F). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and blastocyst development rates were measured to assess illumination safety. In Clpp-knockout oocytes compared with WT, FAD t1 and t2 were longer and I was higher, NADH t2 was longer, and F was lower. In old oocytes compared with young ones, FAD t1 was longer and I was lower, NADH t1 and t2 were shorter, and I and F were lower. FLIM did not affect ROS levels or blastocyst development rates. FLIM parameters exhibit strong differentiation between Clpp-knockout versus WT, and old versus young oocytes. FLIM could potentially be used as a noninvasive tool to assess mitochondrial function in oocytes.

[Methods in Molecular Biology] BCL-2 Family Proteins Volume 1877 (Methods and Protocols) || Rapid Imaging of BCL-2 Family Interactions in Live Cells Using FLIM-FRET
摘要: The Bcl-2 proteins control cell death via interchanging interactions within the Bcl-2 family. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is used to detect F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two fluorescent-fusion proteins in live cells. FLIM-FRET has been used to detect specific interactions and their disruption, for Bcl-2 family proteins. To date, this has been possible only in low throughput, due to the time required for serial data acquisition. We developed an automated optical system with eight parallel detectors for rapid and efficient data collection. Here we describe how to use this system for FLIM-FRET imaging of Bcl-2 family protein interactions in a 384-well plate format.
