Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project was conducted to build the basis on the next generation diagnostic methods using image correlation spectroscopy. The methods were focused on organelle and biomolecules dynamics such as mitochondrial genome within mitochondrion and transcription factors within nucleus. For example, diffusion coefficient of mitochondrial genome in single living cells was two digits smaller than that in vitro, and was comparable to that of mitochondria. This suggests that mitochondrial genome may be bound to an internal structure of mitochondria matrix. Movements of most cells used above were quite inactive. However, the organelle spectroscopy would be possible to apply to cells with active motion, judging from experiments using primary culture of rat myocardiocytes and iPS myocytes. These fruitful outcomes would give a strong impact on previous diagnose and drug screening.
