Surface Plasmon Microscopy

By eliminating the photodamage and photobleaching induced by high intensity laser and fluorescent molecular, the label-free laser scanning microscopy shows powerful capability for imaging and dynamic tracing to biological tissues and cells. In this review, three types of label-free laser scanning microscopies: laser scanning coherent Raman scattering microscopy, second harmonic generation microscopy and scanning localized surface plasmon microscopy are discussed with their fundamentals, features and recent progress. The applications of label-free biological imaging of these laser scanning microscopies are also introduced. Finally, the performance of the microscopies is compared and the limitation and perspectives are summarized.

AbstractPhotoacoustic microscopy is an in vivo imaging technology based on the photoacoustic effect. It is widely used in various biomedical studies because it can provide high-resolution images while being label-free, safe, and harmless to biological tissue. Polygon-scanning is an effective scanning method in photoacoustic microscopy that can realize fast imaging of biological tissue with a large field of view. However, in polygon-scanning, fluctuations of the rotating motor speed and the geometric error of the rotating mirror cause image distortions, which seriously affect the photoacoustic-microscopy imaging quality. To improve the image quality of photoacoustic microscopy using polygon-scanning, an image correction method is proposed based on accurate ultrasound positioning. In this method, the photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging data of the sample are simultaneously obtained, and the angle information of each mirror used in the polygon-scanning is extracted from the ultrasonic data to correct the photoacoustic images. Experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce image distortions in photoacoustic microscopy, with the image dislocation offset decreasing from 24.774 to 10.365 μm.

Owing to its hydrophilicity, negative charge, small size, and labile degradation by endogenous nucleases, small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery must be achieved by a carrier system. In this study, cationic copolymers composed of low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine and polythiophenes were synthesized and evaluated as novel self-tracking siRNA delivery vectors. The concept underlying the design of these copolymers is that hydrophobicity and rigidity of polythiophenes should enhance the transport of siRNA across the cell membrane and endosomal membrane. A gel retardation assay showed that the nanosized complexes formed between the copolymers and siRNA were stable even at a molar ratio of 1 : 2. The high cellular uptake (>80%) and localization of the copolymer vectors inside the cells were easily analyzed by tracking the fluorescence of polythiophene using fluorescent microscopy and cytometry. Anin vitroluciferase knockdown (KD) assay in A549-luc cells demonstrated that the siRNA complexes with more hydrophobic copolymers achieved a higher KD efficiency of 52.8% without notable cytotoxicity, indicating protein-specific KD activity rather than solely the cytotoxicity of the materials. Our polythiophene copolymers should serve as novel, efficient, low cell toxicity, and label-free siRNA delivery systems.
