| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using population and time-lapse imaging analyses of cancer cells expressing new versions of the fluorescent cell-cycle indicator, Fucci, we found great diversity in the cell-cycle alterations induced by anticancer drugs. Drug-induced cell cycle modulation varied not only between different cell types or following treatment with different drugs, but also between cells treated with different concentrations of the same drug. Using newly developed probes for retinoic acid (RA), GEPRA, we performed live imaging of zebrafish embryos at the gastrula and somitogenesis stages, which revealed a linear concentration gradient of endogenous RA in a two-tailed source-sink arrangement across the embryo. We developed a simple yet efficient method, Scale, that increases the transparency of biological tissue while preserving the signals of fluorescent labels. We established procedures for large-scale high-resolution 3D reconstruction of labeled structures within fixed specimens of millimeter size.
