Paper Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) has been demonstrated as advantageous at discriminating between
free and protein-bound forms of the NADH coenzyme, providing not only with the lifetimes of the both states (shorter τ1
and longer τ2), but also with the relative concentrations of both (fractions a1 and a2 correspondingly). Given the role of
NADH in cellular energetics, NADH FLIM has been applied for the noninvasive characterization of metabolic changes
in a range of pathologies. However, for the discrimination of pathological states, a proper characterization of NADH
fluorescence lifetime dynamics at physiological conditions has to be conducted. We have applied FLIM NADH for the
characterization of metabolic changes during cell culture growth. Our results demonstrate that during the exponential
growth stage there's a well expressed trends of gradual decrease of the free/bound ratio, as measured from the center
from the cell colonies. At the same time the cells at the edges of a colony exhibit higher values of the ratio. Several
possible reasons for the phenomena observed are discussed.
