用于细胞生物和组织工程学研究的原子力显微镜

原子力显微镜(AFM)是细胞生物学研究的重要仪器,它可以提供活细胞、非固定细胞的三维形貌数据。然而,在细胞生物学研究中主要的优势是它能够在近生理条件下(例如:在培养基和37摄氏度条件下)提供准确、量化的机械测量。同时,利用力成像模式和基于AFM的微流变技术,可以对细胞或基质的弹性和粘弹性响应进行常规测量。测量的细胞模量可以是未被改变的细胞、不同发育状态的细胞、变异细胞、染病细胞,或者对某些刺激(例如:药物或机械压力)作出反应的细胞。由于细胞外基质(ECM)在一些过程中(例如:细胞的分化、命运走向、信号、基因转录、癌症、心血管疾病和细胞死亡等)发挥着作用,测量基质的模量和细胞微环境是非常重要的。

如果集成了倒置的显微镜(例如:荧光、共焦和TIRF等),两种成像模式的数据可以结合在一起,利用的AFM形貌成像,将荧光标记的结构与形貌图相关联。这些元件可用来引导AFM的探针针尖进入细胞的特定区域,这对于那些不容易成像的细胞来说是非常关键的。此外,还可以用来为细胞提供机械刺激,并可以用来记录相关的反应(例如:离子处理和膜电位变化等),以了解活细胞和组织中的机械传导。
