Research Abstract |
In this research, we have developed m situ real-time monitoring method for cell dynamics on the basis of infrared spectroscopy with the multiple internal reflections (MIR-IRAS). Our research projects were focused on (1) development of IRAS method for in situ monitoring of cell growth, (2) development of non-label IRAS detection of cell death and its application to cytotoxic assay. In addition, we also examined non-label detection of biomolecular interactions, such as (3) antigen-antibody interactions and (4) DNA hybridization both in solution phase and at the silicon surfaces. For the development of the real-time monitoring of cell dynamics, we started with construction of cell culture condition in a FTIR sample room. The temperature and humidity in a cell chamber placed in the FTIR sample room was controlled to be 37 °C and >80%, respectively. Since the sample room needs to be purged with air which was free from water and carbon dioxide vapor, a humidified gas mixture containing CO_2 was introduced to the chamber through silicone tubes. By using this apparatus, we have confirmed the cell viability and proliferation of HL-60 cells after 24-h incubation in the chambers. Then the cytotoxic effect by Tween20 was in-situ monitored with MIR-IRAS. It was demonstrated that the cell death can be monitored in-situ by analyzing the amide II peak intensity. In addition, we succeeded in real-time monitoring of the dynamic processes upon apoptosis induction by using MIR-IRAS. We also examined label-free detection of antigen-antibody interactions and DNA hybridization and demonstrated that MIR-IRAS is particularly useful for discriminating specific and non-specific adsorption by careful analysis of spectral features. Thus our method can be applied to in-situ monitoring of various cellular events as well as individual biomolecular interactions as non-label detection method for high-performance cell-chips and bio-chips.
