Although real-time label-free fluorescent aptasensors based on nanomaterials are increasingly recognized as a useful strategy for the detection of target biomolecules with high fidelity, the lack of an imaging-based quantitative measurement platform limits their implementation with biological samples.

Microtubules (Mts) of the interphase cytoplasmic Mt complex (CMTC) and the mitotic spindle are dynamic polymers assembled from a cellular pool of tubulin by end-dependent association-dissociation reactions (1,2). Mts have an intrinsic structural polarity, which orients the direction of cell motility. Mts also play a major role in the active translocation of vesicles and chromosomes. Quantitative fluorescence microscopy studies using fluorescently labeled tubulin microinjected into living cells have shown that the great majority of Mts in the CMTC and the spindle exchange rapidly with tubulins in the cellular pool (2,3). Dynamic instability, as proposed by Mitchison and Kirschner, provides the best explanation for this rapid turnover of microtubules (1,2).Three major temporal phases of Mt polymerization and three major abrupt transitions between these phases characterize the dynamic instability behavior of pure tubulin (Fig. 1).

Quantitative measurement of single cells can provide in-depth information about cell morphology and metabolism. However, current live-cell imaging techniques have a lack of quantitative detection ability. Herein, we proposed a label-free and quantitative multichannel wide-field interferometric imaging (MWII) technique with femtogram dry mass sensitivity to monitor single-cell metabolism long-term in situ culture. We demonstrated that MWII could reveal the intrinsic status of cells despite fluctuating culture conditions with 3.48 nm optical path difference sensitivity, 0.97 fg dry mass sensitivity and 2.4% average maximum relative change (maximum change/average) in dry mass. Utilizing the MWII system, different intrinsic cell growth characteristics of dry mass between HeLa cells and Human Cervical Epithelial Cells (HCerEpiC) were studied. The dry mass of HeLa cells consistently increased before the M phase, whereas that of HCerEpiC increased and then decreased. The maximum growth rate of HeLa cells was 11.7% higher than that of HCerEpiC. Furthermore, HeLa cells were treated with Gemcitabine to reveal the relationship between single-cell heterogeneity and chemotherapeutic efficacy. The results show that cells with higher nuclear dry mass and nuclear density standard deviations were more likely to survive the chemotherapy. In conclusion, MWII was presented as a technique for single-cell dry mass quantitative measurement, which had significant potential applications for cell growth dynamics research, cell subtype analysis, cell health characterization, medication guidance and adjuvant drug development.
