Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring three-dimensional dynamic morphology of single pulsating myocardial cells by an atomic force probe, belonging to the technical field of engineering.
Background
Life sciences is one of the leading fields of this century, cells being the basic unit of life, there are many different kinds of cells in the human body, each cell having its unique size, shape, structure and function. Recent studies have shown that cell shape affects cell fate in many physiological processes such as cell growth, differentiation, development, death, and tumor growth. Therefore, the research on the morphology of the biological cells is helpful for people to understand the physiological state and process of the biological cells more clearly, accurately and comprehensively, and can also enable people to understand the individual differences of different cells in the cell population and the functions of some special cells better, so that the method has important significance for revealing the life mysterious. In the study of the three-dimensional dynamic morphology of cells, pulsating cells such as cardiomyocytes are the main subject of research in this field. The heart can be better understood by studying the three-dimensional dynamic morphology of the beating cells.
With rapid development of nano technology, ultra-high resolution and non-invasive imaging detection technology plays an important role in the scientific fields of biology, materials and the like. The advent of atomic force microscopy (Atomic Force Microscope, AFM for short) has provided the possibility to observe the ultrastructure of the surface of living cells. AFM uses a sharp tip integrated into the end of a cantilever beam to raster scan the sample to obtain the sample surface topography. The AFM can operate in a solution environment and has a spatial resolution on the order of nanometers, and this unique advantage makes it well suited for studying physiological activities on the nanoscale of living cell surfaces. The application of AFM to study biological samples (living cells, membrane proteins in natural state) in natural state brings a great deal of new knowledge to cell biology, including understanding the tissue and dynamic behavior of cell membranes, observing the structure and activity of organelles, and analyzing the dynamic structure of protein molecules, etc. on a nanometer scale. Because of the powerful functions of AFM, AFM has become an important experimental tool in cell biology, being an important supplement to traditional optical microscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography. However, optical imaging is mainly adopted in the current pulsating myocardial cell imaging research, the imaging resolution is low, the accuracy is poor, the fine observation and analysis of sample properties on the nanometer scale can not be realized, and the biological research is not facilitated. The scanning probe microscope has real space resolution capability of nanometer or even atomic scale, but the traditional scanning probe microscope technology can only observe the surface characteristics of a solid sample, but can not obtain the information of a living cell sample.
In the previous research of the applicant, zhang Saiwei et al utilize atomic force nano imaging technology to combine an electrophysiological property measurement method and a mechanical property measurement method to measure electrophysiological property and mechanical property of single-pulse myocardial cells when the single-pulse myocardial cells are pulsed, the single-pulse myocardial cell action potential of a newborn rat is obtained by measurement, the record of single-pulse myocardial cell action potential and contractile force signals under two measurement modes (constant force tracking measurement mode and non-constant force contact measurement mode) is successfully realized, a patent named as a method for measuring single-pulse myocardial cell action potential and pulse force by an atomic force microscope is applied on the basis of the experiment, the electrophysiological property and mechanical property of all points on the surface of a cell membrane cannot be accurately measured, and the measurement of the three-dimensional dynamic morphology of the single-pulse myocardial cells cannot be realized. (see Zhang Saiwei. Research on robotic nanomanipulation of living cells and electrical property detection techniques [ D ]. University of Changchun-tally, 2016).
In modern biomedical research and applications, three-dimensional dynamic imaging of single beating cardiomyocytes is often required. The cell morphology can reflect the information of cell surface molecules, cytoskeleton, organelles and the like and reflect the physiological state of cells, so that the imaging observation and the study of the nano structure are carried out on single pulsating myocardial cells, and the problems of pending cell functions, physiological behaviors of cell individuals and groups, cell variation, biochemistry, chemical biology, medicine and the like of cell communication can be solved. According to 2007 Ji Hao et al, based on the optimum imaging conditions of the cells under AFM research, the optimum imaging conditions of the liver cancer SMMC-7721 cells in the atmosphere and the solution environment are obtained through analysis and research of AFM images of the human liver cancer SMMC-7721 cells under different processing conditions and testing conditions, and an experimental method for observing living cells by AFM is established (see Ji Hao, liu Ying, zhuang Lena, zhu Jie, sun Runan. Atomic force microscope optimum imaging conditions research [ J ]. Photonics report, 2007). In 2005 Wang Lijuan et al AFM was used to study the different imaging conditions in a physiological solution environment of CHO cells slightly cured with 1% glutaraldehyde, respectively. Experimental results show that the probe with the elastic coefficient of 0.06N/m can be selected to scan cells in physiological environment to obtain good effect, and the scanning speed is preferably 2-3 Hz. The method provides a partial basis for the optimal imaging condition of living cells (see Wang Lijuan, zhang Yingge, zhang Sa, etc. the atomic force microscope is used for researching the imaging condition of living cells in physiological solution [ J ]. Electron microscopic report, 2005), AFM has reached atomic level and molecular level resolution capability, can work under natural conditions or physiological conditions, can dynamically observe the physiological activity of cells, and is the technology and method which are most suitable for imaging and observing single cells at present.

(2) Under the optical microscope module 5, observing the state of single-pulse myocardial cells, and moving the atomic force probe 1 to place the tip of the atomic force probe right above the single-pulse myocardial cells to be detected;
(3) The method comprises the steps of setting measurement parameters, enabling an atomic force probe 1 to be in contact with single pulsating myocardial cells in a constant force single-point time sequence multiple-time acquisition mode, measuring the spatial position and the shape of the single pulsating myocardial cells at any moment in a pulsating period in real time in the constant force time sequence multiple-time acquisition mode, and realizing measurement of three-dimensional dynamic shapes, so that the three-dimensional dynamic shapes of the single pulsating myocardial cells are obtained on a nanometer scale.
As shown in FIG. 4, the atomic force probe used in the invention is a silicon nitride probe, the micro-cantilever is triangular, the tip of the micro-cantilever is conical, the radius of the tip is 7nm, the elastic constant of the micro-cantilever is 0.35N/m, and the length of the micro-cantilever is 95 mu m. The conical design of the atomic force probe tip can be used to image the cell surface with less force under high humidity conditions with high resolution. The damage to the sample is relatively smaller. Therefore, the probe can reduce the resistance of the probe when the probe is measured in the solution, improve the moving speed of the probe when the probe is measured in the solution, improve the contact stability of the probe tip and single pulsating myocardial cells, and improve the imaging precision, thereby stably obtaining more accurate spatial position and morphology of the single pulsating myocardial cells at any moment in the pulsating period, realizing the measurement of three-dimensional dynamic morphology, and further obtaining the three-dimensional dynamic morphology of the single pulsating myocardial cells on the nanometer scale.
