Abstract
Understanding the molecular and physical complexity of the tissue microenvironment (TiME) in the context of its spatiotemporal organization has remained an enduring challenge. Recent advances in engineering and data science are now promising the ability to study the structure, functions, and dynamics of the TiME in unprecedented detail; however, many advances still occur in silos that rarely integrate information to study the TiME in its full detail. This review provides an integrative overview of the engineering principles underlying chemical, optical, electrical, mechanical, and computational science to probe, sense, model, and fabricate the TiME. In individual sections, we first summarize the underlying principles, capabilities, and scope of emerging technologies, the breakthrough discoveries enabled by each technology and recent, promising innovations. We provide perspectives on the potential of these advances in answering critical questions about the TiME and its role in various disease and developmental processes. Finally, we present an integrative view that appreciates the major scientific and educational aspects in the study of the TiME.

Multimodal SHG-2PF Imaging of Microdomain Ca2+-Contraction Coupling in Live Cardiac Myocytes. Circ Res 2015; 118:e19-28. [PMID: 26643875 DOI: 10.1161/circresaha.115.307919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2015] [Accepted: 12/07/2015] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Cardiac myocyte contraction is caused by Ca(2+) binding to troponin C, which triggers the cross-bridge power stroke and myofilament sliding in sarcomeres. Synchronized Ca(2+) release causes whole cell contraction and is readily observable with current microscopy techniques. However, it is unknown whether localized Ca(2+) release, such as Ca(2+) sparks and waves, can cause local sarcomere contraction. Contemporary imaging methods fall short of measuring microdomain Ca(2+)-contraction coupling in live cardiac myocytes. OBJECTIVE To develop a method for imaging sarcomere level Ca(2+)-contraction coupling in healthy and disease model cardiac myocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS Freshly isolated cardiac myocytes were loaded with the Ca(2+)-indicator fluo-4. A confocal microscope equipped with a femtosecond-pulsed near-infrared laser was used to simultaneously excite second harmonic generation from A-bands of myofibrils and 2-photon fluorescence from fluo-4. Ca(2+) signals and sarcomere strain correlated in space and time with short delays. Furthermore, Ca(2+) sparks and waves caused contractions in subcellular microdomains, revealing a previously underappreciated role for these events in generating subcellular strain during diastole. Ca(2+) activity and sarcomere strain were also imaged in paced cardiac myocytes under mechanical load, revealing spontaneous Ca(2+) waves and correlated local contraction in pressure-overload-induced cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS Multimodal second harmonic generation 2-photon fluorescence microscopy enables the simultaneous observation of Ca(2+) release and mechanical strain at the subsarcomere level in living cardiac myocytes. The method benefits from the label-free nature of second harmonic generation, which allows A-bands to be imaged independently of T-tubule morphology and simultaneously with Ca(2+) indicators. Second harmonic generation 2-photon fluorescence imaging is widely applicable to the study of Ca(2+)-contraction coupling and mechanochemotransduction in both health and disease.
