Abstract

A 3D living-cell culture in hydrogel has been developed as a standardized low-tensile-strength tissue proxy for study of ultrafast, pulsetrain-burst laser-tissue interactions. The hydrogel is permeable to fluorescent biomarkers and optically transparent, allowing viable and necrotic cells to be imaged in 3D by confocal microscopy. Good cell-viability allowed us to distinguish between typical cell mortality and delayed subcellular tissue damage (e.g., apoptosis and DNA repair complex formation), caused by laser irradiation. The range of necrosis depended on laser intensity, but not on pulsetrain-burst duration. DNA double-strand breaks were quantified, giving a preliminary upper limit for genetic damage following laser treatment.

Figures (6)

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Experimental setup for pulsetrain-burst mode laser ablation experiments. The oscilloscope traces show that the N-pulse selector selects a portion of the burst from the oscillator. This selected burst is amplified by two four-pass amplifiers and focused onto the target. A 90:10 beam splitter (BS) directs part of the oncoming laser light to an energy monitor and part of the laser light reflected from the target to an equivalent target plane (CCD-ETP). Relevant lens focal lengths are shown in the image.

(b) Cells seeded into the hydrogel then tagged post facto with Hoechst 33342. (c) Necrotic cells within the hydrogel tagged post facto with PI. The cell count is relatively constant until a depth of ~700 μm from the hydrogel surface.

Fig. 4 The normalized fluorescence intensity detected from various biomarkers as a function of depth into the hydrogel. Each set of data traces is normalized to the maximum intensity of each trace. The fluorescence data for cells tagged by PI, Annexin-V, and γH2AX is from the controlled insult experiments found in Fig. 2. Fluctuations in the fluorescence intensity with depth may reflect the inhomogeneity of marked cells within a given hydrogel sample.

Fig. 6 (a) The number of viable and necrotic cells in hydrogel irradiated at a 4.6 × 1013-W/cm2 intensity and 1-μs-duration pulsetrain-burst as a function of distance from the centroid of the distribution of necrotic cells, but at the gel surface. Cells are binned in equal-volume, hemispherical shells. (b) Cylindrical projection of viable and necrotic cells, with hemispherical bins used for the analysis overlaid. The red hemisphere-line marks the necrosis range according to Gaussian fit. (c) The necrosis range as a function of the per-pulse laser intensity for a 1-μs-duration pulsetrain-burst. The line through the data points is a power-law fit with equation shown in the figure, where I 0 =1.0× 10 13 W/c m 2 , and C=138±28μm . Error bars on data points are standard deviations multiple of Gaussian fits using different total number of hemispherical shells. Data shown was taken over 5 days of experiments from 5 separately produced gels providing 21 punch-hole gel biopsies.
