| Research Abstract |
Multiphoton microscopy(MPM) can image tissue and cellularized collagen gels using endogenous second-harmonic generation(SHG) to provide unique information about collagen content and microstructure. We observed preretinal fibrovascular membranes, inner limiting membrane obtained from patients and retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) cultured collagen gels using a SHG microscope. SHG signals were detected from preretinal tissue obtained from patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR) and idiopathic epiretinal membrane(iERM). We evaluated SHG signals as the area fraction and mean intensity. Mean SHG signal intensity of fibrovasucular membranes obtained from PDR patients had a trend to increase in the progress of fibrosis based on the fundus photographs. In 3D cultured collagen gel model, TGF beta2 stimulation significantly increased both SHG area fraction and mean SHG signal intensity compared to non-stimulant control. Since we can evaluate SHG signal changes without any fixation or staining, this cellularized collagen gel model may be useful to evaluate fibrosis in real time.
