▼ Our laboratory has previously invented and characterized a technique for studying ligand-receptor interactions on supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) without fluorescently labeled analytes. This technique utilizes a pH-sensitive dye labeled phospholipid, ortho-rhodamine B conjugated POPE (1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octa-decenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine), as a membrane imbedded reporter molecule to monitor ligand-receptor interactions on SLBs by measuring the fluorescence intensity change. Also, this technique has been demonstrated to operate as either a ???turn-on??? or a ???turn-off??? sensor depending on the analytes to be detected. Based on these preliminary studies, it is necessary to give further development and application for this new technique. Firstly, as a potential application of this sensing technique, we utilized this sensing platform to detect the interactions between tetracaine, a positively charged small molecule used as a local anesthetic drug, and planar supported lipid bilayers (SLBs). Studies with membranes composed of POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) yielded an equilibrium dissociation constant value of Kd = 180??47 ??m for this small molecule-membrane interaction. And the influences of cholesterol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and three negatively charged lipids on the interaction between tetracaine and the bilayers have been studied. Secondly, in order to fully develop the power of this local pH modulation technique, it has been extended to a homogeneous platform from an SLB based heterogeneous platform. Specifically, a pH sensitive dye, 5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein, was conjugated to free lysine residues on the surfaces of designated capture proteins. The fluorescein intensity was found to change upon target molecule binding. The assay was used to follow the binding of immunoglobulin G (IgG) to streptavidin, thiamin monophosphate (ThMP) to thiamin binding protein A (TbpA), and Ca^(2+) to calmodulin (CaM). Finally, as an instrumental development for this sensing platform, an inexpensive fluorescence detector has been built as a cheap substitute for the epi-fluorescence microscope. This device is composed of a compact camera, a schott glass color filter, and a green (532 nm) laser pointer. This device has been tested to be able to obtain fluorescence images with decent signal to noise ratio. And this device has been demonstrated in measuring tetracaine-POPC SLB interaction using local pH modulation method. Advisors/Committee Members: Cremer, Paul S (advisor).

▼ Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be used to treat all kinds of (pre-)malignant and non malignant cells, and has some great advantages in comparison with conventional treatments, like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. To be able to perform PDT one needs three things to be present in a cell: photosensitizer, light of a specific wavelength, and oxygen. A photosensitizer is a specially designed drug that that is activated by light of a specific wavelength. When activated, the photosensitizer reacts with oxygen, which leads to cell death. The cell death can occur in two ways: necrosis and apoptosis. A new type of PDT has been introduced recently in the treatment of brain tumors, which is called metronomic PDT (mPDT). The principle of mPDT is similar to that of PDT, but the difference is the length of the treatment. mPDT works with a lower light dose and a longer treatment time compared to conventional PDT. This ensures that the cells dies in a natural way (apoptosis) and do not cause inflammations, which happens in normal PDT. To be able to perform mPDT on a human brain, it is necessary that the treatment can be monitored. For this purpose information on the state of the photosensitizer is necessary. An important aspect of the photosensitizer is the fluorescence, which occurs upon light absorption by the photosensitizer and is related to electronic transition from an excited state to the ground state of the used molecule. From the fluorescence reflection spectrum one can determine the concentration and interaction with cells, as well as localisation and configuration of the photosensitizer. The photosensitizers used for the treatment have a lifetime from 3.5ns to 10ns. To measure the lifetime of the photosensitizer we need to be able to reconstruct the exponential decay of the fluorescence reflection spectrum. In order to do this we use a LED to excite the photosensitizer and a photodiode for detection of the fluorescence reflection spectrum. We integrate the photocurrent on the parasitic capacitor of the photodiode, to make sure the system is fast. When the signal is integrated once, it holds no usable information other than the total charge integrated. For this purpose a tune-able delay circuit has been designed that can delay the beginning of the measurement, which allows us to change the integration window. If we now integrate the same signal several times, while changing the starting time for each integration, we can reconstruct the exponential decay of the fluorescence reflection spectrum. The designed chip houses the timing circuit for the tune-able delay, as well as a photodiode for light detection, and an amplifier to amplify the signal enough for readout with an AD-converter. There is also space for a LED on the chip, which is also controlled by the timing circuit to ensure correct on and off switching of the LED. The chip is designed in such a way that it can work with a external light source as well. The measurements are done without a photosensitizer because they are to expansive to use before proper testing of… Advisors/Committee Members: French, P.J., Margallo Balbás, E..

▼ Marination by vacuum tumbling is commonly practiced in the meat industry; however, the optimal temperature of the process to maximize marinade absorption and retention is yet to be defined. Furthermore, the role of marinade functional ingredients and pH of the marinade in alleviating problems with pink color in cooked meat and water retention during cooking is yet to be elucidated. For denaturation model study, myoglobin pigments from chicken gizzards were extracted. Observed results from the model study were validated in whole muscle and comminuted chicken meat. In addition, temperature of vacuum tumbling operation was optimized with respect to marinade pick- up, cook yield and expressible moisture. Also, trivalent Eu+3 was used to trace the penetration of marinade in chicken breast meat. Results showed that increasing concentration of salt and pH in marinade increased the persistence of the pink color in cooked meat. Furthermore, degree of denaturation of myoglobin pigments was not a determining factor for cooked meat color under the condition of higher ORP values in meat products. On the other hand, temperature of marination was found to be a significant factor in marinade penetration and retention in a vacuum tumbling process. Higher marination temperature promoted deeper penetration of marinade in the meat as traced by trivalent Eu+3. Consequently, marinade pick-up was found at higher temperature. However, cook yield was found highest when marination process was initially at a higher temperature followed by lowering to near refrigeration temperature. Amount of salt soluble protein extracted at lower temperature was higher compared to higher temperature of marination that may be a factor in higher marinade retention on cooking In conclusion, pink color incidence in cooked meat is dependent to the ORP value of meat during and after cooking. Pink color can be induced in a product that has the cooked meat color by altering the ORP by addition of a reducing agent. In addition, Eu+3 tracing of marinade penetration in meat showed marinade to be only near the surface of the chicken breast meat even at the elevated temperature of vacuum tumbling.

▼ Tryptophan fluorescence quantum yield is widely used to follow protein folding for the villin headpiece subdomain (HP-35) and a synthetic peptide Ac-W-(A) ₃ -H + -NH ₂ (WH5). These biopolymers have a histidine residue, which is a potent quencher of tryptophan fluorescence, positioned four amino acids away from tryptophan. Experiments assumed that when folding occurs the fluorescence of tryptophan will be quenched by histidine due to the formation of an alpha helix. The reliability of folding and unfolding rate constants determined by tryptophan fluorescence has been called into question by several computational studies. A method to calculate the electron transfer matrix element was developed for different donor/acceptor systems. This method shows that the electron transfer matrix element is sensitive to orientation at close distances and that it does not follow a simple exponential decay with distance. This thesis improved the methods developed by Callis and coworker by conducting 100 ns long simulations for single tryptophan proteins and by modifying the calculation of the fluorescence quantum yield to account for heterogeneity in the calculated electron transfer rates. In addition the method was extended to calculate electron transfer rate constants for histidine quenching by conducting 1 microsecond long simulations of HP-35 and WH5. Calculated tryptophan fluorescence quantum yields for the single tryptophan proteins show better agreement with experiment than was previously reported. Simulations for HP-35 and WH5 indicate that the ability of histidine to quench the fluorescence of tryptophan is surprisingly controlled by the energy gap dependence on the distance that separates them. The energy gap dependence on this distance arises from water solvation around histidine. At large distances this solvation decreases the ability of histidine to accept an electron from tryptophan. Different tryptophan/histidine rotamers control this distance. Even when HP-35 is completely folded much of the time histidine does not quench tryptophan fluorescence contrary to the idea that histidine is only close when HP-35 is folded. The calculated fluorescence quantum yield is sensitive to the distribution of close and far conformations and the rate of exchange between these two conformations. This sensitivity gives credibility to the folding/unfolding rates derived from tryptophan fluorescence quantum yields. Advisors/Committee Members: Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Patrik R. Callis.

▼ In aqueous and alcohol solutions, colorless and non-fluorescent 9-aryl-9H-xanthen-9-ols equilibrate with brightly colored and fluorescent 9-arylxanthylium cations. The position of this equilibrium depends only on hydronium ion concentration and is not affected by general acids or other ions. The pH of the equivalence point can be adjusted by substitution in the xanthenol core. 3,6-dialkoxy-9-(o-tolyl)-9-xanthenol undergoes dehydroxylation to form corresponding cation at biologically relevant pH = 6.5. 9-Aryl-9H-xanthen-9-ol – based pH indicators permit following acidity changes by both fluorescent and absorption spectroscopies. Non-fluorescent 3,6-bis(benzyloxy)-9-aryl-9-xanthenol undergoes photo-dehydroxylation with simultaneous photo-Claisen rearrangement upon irradiation in aqueous methanol to give fluorescent isomeric products. Alcohol substrates are simply caged by refluxing the parent 3,6-bis(benzyloxy)-9-aryl-9-xanthenol with the desired alcohol in acetonitrile and catalytic amounts of acetic acid or using the alcohol as neat solvent for less expensive substrates. Formation of fluorescent fluorescein derivatives can be used to monitor substrate release. Photolabile protecting groups can also be used to weaken or totally eradicate the fluorescence of a fluorophore. Irradiation of the caged dye removes the protection thereby revealing the fluorophore. We have effectively used 3-(hydroxymethyl)napthalen-2-ol as a photoremovable protecting group for fluorescein. The caged fluorophore is weakly fluorescent. Photolysis of the caged dye releases the fluorophore with a fluorescent quantum yield = 0.75 -0.93. Novel light-triggered SN1 strategy for the formation of glycosidic bond has been developed. The reaction is initiated by the photochemical cleavage of the bond between anomeric carbon and aglycone containing 9-aryl-9-fluorenol. Irradiation of 9-aryl-9-fluorenol derivatives bearing the tetrahydropyranyl moiety in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol and tetrahydrofuran in a Royonet reactor at 300 nm presumably resulted in a short-lived 9-aryl-9-fluorenyl cation. The carbocation intramolecularly attacks the ether oxygen. This intramolecular attack of the ether by the initially formed carbocation leads to heterolysis of the C-O bond and the formation of oxonium ion. The oxonium ion thus generated is trapped preferentially with added nucleophile such as 2-phenyl ethanol. Advisors/Committee Members: Vladimir V. Popik.

▼ Just as the phenotypically different cells that make up multicellular organisms are distributed in tissues with structures that embody specific functions, microbial cells with different metabolic functions form unique spatial structures and coordinate their activities as multicellular units, e.g. biofilms. Fundamentally, microbial communities differ from eukaryotic tissues because their cellular constituents may be genetically distinct; in fact, up to hundreds of different species may be present in a single biofilm. Any number of probes may be designed to identify the different species present in a community; however, the ability to unambiguously distinguish more than a few different labels in a single fluorescence image has been severely hampered by the excitation cross talk and signal bleed-through of fluorophores with highly overlapping emission spectra. Reported in this thesis is a fluorescence labeling, imaging, and analysis method to greatly expand the number of identifiable labels in a single image, which we call Combinatorial Labeling and Spectral Imaging (CLASI). Application of our CLASI technique to human dental plaque using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) enabled the first quantitative analysis of the spatial distribution of 15 different taxa of microbes in a biofilm. Proximity analysis was used to determine the frequency of inter- and intrataxon cell-to-cell associations, which revealed statistically significant intertaxon pairings. Cells of the genera Prevotella and Actinomyces showed the most interspecies associations, suggesting a central role for these genera in establishing and maintaining biofilm complexity. In a proof-of-principle experiment, we further demonstrate that we can distinguish 120 differently labeled E. coli in a mixture labeled with binary combinations of 16 fluorophores using a novel linear unmixing algorithm constrained to identify specific combinations of fluorophores. Our results provide an initial systems-level structural analysis of biofilm organization and we further believe that the CLASI approach will be useful for the architectural analysis of many complex molecular structures within cells.

▼ Advances in bio-imaging have triggered the development of a highly sophisticated imaging tool known as fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescence microscopy is used in many biological applications to visualize sub-cellular processes and gives the ability to image three-dimensional (3D) structures in living cells. The use of fluorescence microscopy and specific staining methods make biological molecules appear as bright spots in image data. The analysis of fluorescence microscopy images requires the detection and tracking of hundreds spots in image data and is of great importance for biologists to better understand cell functions. However, the analysis of these data is still performed manually in most biological laboratories worldwide. The manual analysis of these data is both time consuming, laborious and susceptible to human errors. Several computer-based algorithms have been proposed for the detection and tracking of spots in microscopy images. Most of these methods were validated on limited image data and relatively few studies have been performed for the comparison of these methods in real applications. This study quantitatively compared the performance of four detection and two tracking methods applied in microscopy images for the analysis of bright spots. The performance of the algorithms was validated on both synthetic and real images. The synthetic images offered a better way of validating algorithms against ground truth reference results. Results indicate that there are major differences in algorithm performance for both detection and tracking. In the detection results the Isotropic Undecimated Wavelet Transform (IUWT) and the Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) achieved better results than the other methods in comparison when values are considered. The tracking results indicate that the Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) method achieved better results than the Feature Point Tracking (FPT) method when Jaccard Similarity Scores (JSC) are considered.

▼ Fluorescence of adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, and uracil has been detected at room temperature in neutral aqueous solution using a digital signal accumulation technique and right angle fluorescence detection from solutions with absorbances between 0. 4 and 0. 7. The quantum yields are respectively 2.6 x 10⁻⁴, 3.0 x 10⁻⁴, 1 x 10⁻⁴ 0.8 x 10⁻⁴, and 0.5 x 10⁻⁴ when excited at their low energy absorption maxima. Singlet lifetimes calculated from these yields may mean a recalculation of excited state processes occurring in DNA which were previously based on low temperature data. Corrected relative emission spectra are presented and compared with reported low temperature data. The corrected relative excitation spectra all show significant differences from the absorption spectrum when both are determined under identical conditions of concentration and spectral bandwidth on the same instrument. This behavior is discussed in terms J. of a) n-π and π-π states, b) emission from a minor tautomer and c) kinetics of competing deactivation processes. From a development of c), rate constants for processes occurring from the 0' level are calculated for intersystem crossing, internal conversion, and (singlet) photochemical reaction in thymine and uracil. From solvent induced shifts of absorption and fluorescence spectra, the excited state dipole moment of thymine μe = 8. 0 ± 2. 20) and the π-π* nature of the transitions responsible for fluorescence are deduced. Consideration of the singlet lifetime of thymine in relation to the rates of excited state process implies that fluorescence may occur from a Franck-Condon excited state and this is discussed in terms of possible solute-solvent interactions. A study of the pH effects on the spectral shape, magnitude, and polarization of thymine emission concludes that the emitting states of J. ionized thymine are of a π-π* nature , that fluorescence may arise within the 1, 2,4, 5, and 6 π- conjugated system in the thymine molecule, and that excited state ionizations do not occur in the fluorescent forms of thymine. These deductions are discussed in relation to DNA excited state processes. Advisors/Committee Members: Daniels, Malcolm (advisor).

Over the last two decades, fluorescence based detection has become one of the leading sensing technologies in biomedical, biological and related sciences. Its sensitivity makes it possible to detect a single biomolecule through labeling with a suitable fluorophore. Two principal fluorophore properties, brightness and photostability, are fundamentally important to achieve a high level of sensitivity and in many conventional fluorophores these often fall short of the requirements. Among the methods used to improve the sensitivity of fluorescence detection, the metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) technique has been recently actively developed. The MEF phenomenon occurs when an excited fluorophore is located in close proximity to metals, and it is particularly pronounced near noble metal nanostructures. Electrons in such metal nanostructures exhibit strong resonances often located in the visible part of the spectrum (also known as surface plasmon resonance). They can interact with proximal fluorophores modifying their optical properties and producing increased quantum yield (fluorescence efficiency) and improved photostability. It has been experimentally demonstrated that the MEF technique can increase fluorescence intensity up to several hundreds times. The work through my PhD project mainly focus on siver nanostructures and its potential in fluorescence-based applications requiring very high sensitivity because their strong surface plasmon resonance in the visible matches the absorption and emission bands of most fluorophores. I began with synthesis for Ag nanostructure-coated silica beads in the solution-based platform as a new MEF substrate. My first study employed these nanostructures to enhance the fluorescence readout on individual silica beads. These Ag nanostructure were deposited on micrometer size silica beads. The fluorescence enhancement was investigated using a model AlexaFluor 430 IgG immunoassay and AlexaFluor 430 labeling. Approximately 8.5-fold and 10.1-fold higher fluorescence intensities at 430 nm excitation were, respectively, observed from silvered 400 nm and 5 μm silica beads deposited on…

▼ Several analytical methods have been developed to study apoptosis (programmed cell death), many of which rely on fluorescence processes. Apoptosis is a highly regulated biological event and is a vital process that helps regulate tissue growth, normal cell turnover, immune response, and tissue development. However, diseases such as cancer and heart disease are associated with malfunctions in the apoptosis machinery. There is therefore a need to elucidate the processes of apoptosis induction and inhibition. Fluorescence assays continue to play a major role in apoptosis assays, and probe and method development are ongoing. There are several standard techniques such as flow cytometry and confocal microscopy for apoptosis study in cells. In addition, new techniques such as super-resolution microscopy, multi-photon excitation, and single cell-single molecule spectroscopy are quickly emerging. In this work, detection of apoptosis was studied by single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) in living cells. Caspase activity was assayed using a new red fluorogenic probe that avoids the spectral overlap of green fluorescent probes and cell autofluorescence. This new probe, 2SBPO-Casp, was synthesized by coupling a water-soluble Nile Blue derivative (2SBPO) to an aspartic acid residue. Upon apoptosis induction and caspase activation, free 2SBPO dye is shown to accumulate inside the cell after probe cleavage. In previous work in our lab, single molecule fluorescence in single apoptotic cells was detected 45 min after induction using a rhodamine 110-based probe. However, significant statistical analysis was needed to exclude false positives. The use of 2SBPO-Casp overcomes the autofluorescence problem and offers a steady fluorescence signal. In our single molecule FCS measurements, Ramos cells were determined apoptotic on the basis of their correlation coefficient value (R2). Cells that contain an R2= 0.65 were identified as highly correlated and therefore determined to be apoptotic. Single apoptotic cells identified in this manner were found as early as 30 min after induction and the number of apoptotic cells reached a peak value at the 3rd hour, which is consistent with other techniques. Using single molecule techniques and a new apoptosis probe, the temporal dynamics were elucidated with better sensitivity and resolution than in previous studies. Finally, to increase the throughput of cellular analyses, three different types of polymer based microdevices were fabricated and demonstrated. Poly(dimethyl silxane), (PDMS), and poly(methyl methacrylate), (PMMA), were used to fabricate T-shaped chips. The separation resolution, and efficiency was analyzed for native PDMS, PMMA, sol-gel modified PDMS, and native PDMS with a dynamic coating of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). With an electric field of 512 V/cm, PDMS coated with SDS showed to give high electroosmotic flow (EOF) and was able to separate fluorescence dyes in Ramos cells.

▼ La détection de molécules toxiques pour l’Homme et son environnement est d’une importance cruciale et fait partie des préoccupations majeures de la société actuelle. Les résidus de pesticides tels que l’atrazine ainsi que la mélamine font notamment partie de ces molécules dangereuses pour la santé humaine. Ces deux molécules sont principalement dosées par des techniques lourdes et coûteuses comme la spectrométrie de masse, la chromatographie ou l’électrochimie. De même, la détection des amines biogéniques représente un intérêt sociétal. Elles sont produites par des bactéries durant la décarboxylation des acides aminés dans les cellules. Leur détection permet ainsi d’évaluer la contamination microbiologique et la dégradation potentielle d’un aliment. Elles sont aujourd’hui dosées par chromatographie en phase liquide ou en en phase gaz, par électrochromatographie capillaire et par spectroscopie UV-visible. Quelques exemples de détection par fluorescence ont déjà été décrits dans la littérature mais la nécessité de développer de nouveaux récepteurs fluorescents efficaces est bien réelle.La fluorescence est une technique qui offre de multiples avantages tels que la sensibilité, la sélectivité et un faible coût. De nombreuses sondes fluorescentes capables de détecter des métaux lourds ont été développées au laboratoire PPSM. Cependant, la détection de molécules neutres par fluorescence représente un défi supplémentaire en raison de la nature plus faible de l’interaction, comparée à celle entre espèces chargées.La première étape de cette thèse a été de concevoir et de synthétiser un ensemble de sondes moléculaires fluorescentes, aussi bien pour la détection de l’atrazine, de ses produits de dégradation et des dérivés de la mélamine que pour la détection des amines biogéniques. Des fluorophores dérivés de la molécule de maléimide, de naphthalimide et de l’acide barbiturique ont ainsi été développés pour sonder les dérivés de triazine en exploitant leur système de trois liaisons hydrogène pour la reconnaissance moléculaire. De même, un calix[6]arène fluorescent a été conçu pour déceler la présence des amines biogéniques qui provoqueront une réponse fluorescente par encapsulation dans le calixarène.La deuxième étape a consisté à étudier les propriétés photophysiques de ces sondes. La sonde Naphth-AlcyneOMe possède un rendement quantique élevé, s’est révélée fortement solvatochrome. Elle est de plus sensible à la déprotonation de sa fonction imide. Des études RMN et de modélisation moléculaire ont également été menées afin de caractériser les sondes de manière plus approfondie et de comprendre plus précisément leur réactivité. La spectroscopie RMN a confirmé l’interaction par liaison hydrogène entre les sondes maléimide et naphthalimides et la molécule d’atrazine. Elle a aussi mis en évidence l’encapsulation de l’heptylamine dans le calix[6]arène. Pour sa part, la modélisation moléculaire nous a permis de mieux comprendre la photophysique de la sonde Naphth-TriazoleOMe.Enfin, la capacité des sondes à détecter les divers… Advisors/Committee Members: Leray, Isabelle (thesis director).

▼ Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the number two cause of cancer associated death. Surgery is the first line of defense in treating breast cancer and the success of surgery has been shown to predict the probability of cancer reoccurrence. Near Infrared (NIR) fluorescence guided surgery offers the potential to increase the accuracy of surgical resection by the use of fluorescence imaging agents targeted towards cancer. Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity is enhanced in triple negative breast cancer and is associated with resistance to therapy in luminal-like cancers. The goal of this work is to develop activatable fluorophores targeted towards cPLA2 and evaluate their use for the molecular imaging of breast cancer in order to determine their potential as contrast agents for NIR fluorescence guided surgery. A series of tricyclic fluorophores were caged through esterification with fatty acids. Arachidonic acid was utilized to generate cPLA2 selective probes and palmitic acid was used to generate control probes. In vitro, probes were shown to activate in the presence of purified PLA2 and results were used to identify the most promising probe: DDAO arachidonate. Cellular fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy showed DDAO arachidonate activated in breast cancer cell lines expressing cPLA2, where control probe did not. Modulation of cPLA2 activity through inhibition, induction, and genetic knockdown, resulted in corresponding changes in fluorescence generation. In a panel of breast cancer cell lines, cPLA2 expression, varied based on molecular subtype and correlated with DDAO arachidonate activation. Finally, DDAO arachidonate, when painted onto human triple negative tumor mouse xenografts, resulted in selective activation of tumor but not surrounding healthy tissue. Together, these results indicate DDAO arachidonate is a useful agent for measuring cPLA2 activity in both breast cancer cells and tumors and may offer the potential to aid in the fluorescence guided surgery of triple negative breast cancer.

Current microscopy-based tissue diagnostics, particularly hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) histology, requires multiple complex tissue processing steps: fixation, paraffin embedding, microtome sectioning, dying the tissue, and imaging individual slides through a bright field microscope. The time and labor-intensive result of this process makes it unsuitable for patient point-of-care evaluation. Therefore, many bedside procedures are completed without efficient real-time analysis of tissue adequacy and diagnostic results are unnecessarily delayed. Additionally, research experiments that require information regarding changes to tissue morphology or function before proceeding to the next experimental phase are severely interrupted by histology processing in their workflow. Fluorescence histology, which relies on rapid fluorescent staining of tissue, optical sectioning microscopy, and image processing for digital viewing, can provide an inexpensive, non-destructive, 3-dimensional, and fast alternative to traditional histology and point-of-care screening protocols. The objective of this work is to further advance the concept of “fluorescence histology,” in which traditional histopathology preparation methods are replaced by optical-sectioning (in lieu of physical sectioning), sensitive and flexible fluorescence-based contrast (in lieu of chromophore-based contrast), and computational strategies to replicate traditional color-schemes. In this work, we demonstrate the development and use of a fluorescent analogue to H&E on fixed and frozen tissue sections and fresh human biopsies. This fluorescent analogue, DRAQ5 & eosin, is compared against the current single-agent, monochrome fluorescence histology system, and their effects on diagnostic downstream molecular analyses, including quantitative-PCR and immunohistochemistry, is evaluated. We create a methodology to develop and characterize fluorescent analogues for any histological stain, with demonstration using Masson’s Trichrome and Periodic Acid-Schiff, enabling the expansion of fluorescence histology for multiple applications. This work demonstrates the ability to improve point-of-care pathology and research by replacing destructive, incomplete, and time-consuming histology with fluorescence histology, which preserves the tissue for later analysis or experiments while providing accurate and rapid histology assessment.

▼ This work presents the development and application of single-molecule fluorescence-based methodologies to study bio-inorganic systems and catalysis of nanostructured materials. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy was used to examine: (i) protein-DNA interactions using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET), (ii) single-molecule enzymology of tyrosinase using fluorescence quenching via energy transfer, and (iii) structure-activity correlation of gold nanoparticle catalysis using super-resolution imaging. Engineered DNA Holliday junction (HJ) was used as the smFRET reporter for interactions of a metalloregulator, CueR, with DNA for transcriptional regulation. Both the apo- and holo-forms of CueR interact with and change the structures and dynamics of interconversion between the two conformations of the HJ. Singlemolecule kinetic analyses revealed differences between apo- and holo- CueR in their interactions with DNA. These changes observed on HJ upon CueR binding reflect the protein actions on DNA for regulating gene transcription. The single-molecule enzymology of tyrosinase was also investigated. Catalysis coupled fluorescence quenching (CCFQ) was used to monitor the state of the binuclear-copper active site of the enzyme. The intermediates of this metal center exhibit different absorption features as the enzyme goes through the catalytic cycle. Using a fluorescent probe whose fluorescence spectrum overlaps with the absorption spectrum of one of the intermediates of the active site, the state of the active site of the enzyme was directly monitored. The structure-activity correlation of single nanoparticle catalysts was achieved by applying super-resolution fluorescence imaging on single-particle catalysis. The generation of a fluorescent product from a non-fluorescent reactant on the surface of nanoparticles was imaged using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. Precise nanometer localization of where the products are generated, with a resolution of ~25 nm, was obtained by fitting the point spread function of the emission of a product molecule with a two-dimensional Gaussian function. By taking the SEM image of the same nanoparticles and overlaying them to those obtained from super-resolution imaging, direct correlation of the activity and structure of nanocatalysts was achieved at the single-particle level.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been considered a favorable approach in certain oncology applications for its little invasiveness and better targeting specificity compared to conventional therapies. In PDT, localized photosensitizers can be activated by light to produce cytotoxic oxygen species. However, the prescribed drug and light doses do not provide satisfying outcomes as the PDT efficacy relies strongly on the interplay between localized dose factors. Therefore, the fluorescence emission from active photosensitizers has been investigated extensively for real-time PDT dosimetry. This dissertation focuses on characterizing fluorescence properties of two photosensitizers, Photofrin® and PpIX, in cellular models and discusses about their potential clinical applications. First, we introduc time-resolve fluorescence (TRF) of photosensitizers as a potential tool in PDT dosimetry. TRF acquires fluorescence decay profiles and it is sensitive to drug-microenvironment interactions that occur frequently in PDT. Therefore, it provides complementary information in addition to fluorescence spectra that could be subject to intensity artifacts. In this dissertation, we review TRF studies on PDT photosensitizers, and quantify TRF parameters of Photofrin® at various subcellular locations. Moreover, analytical solutions are developed to correct distorted TRF measurements from commonly used time-domain data acquisition. Second, we report a new concept – integrated detection and treatment of Barrett’s Esophagus (BE). BE is a pre-cancerous lesion considered as a major risk factor in developing esophageal cancers. However, early intervention of BE has remained a challenging issue as tissue biopsy introduces significant sampling errors and the separate procedures between diagnosis and treatment add relocation errors. We proposed to use PpIX fluorescence to highlight morphological features at the cellular level for quantitative classification, followed by well-characterized treatment. Current proof-of-concept studies were performed separately, whilst the detection and treatment can be integrated using confocal endomicroscopy technology. Overall, these studies examine the potential benefits provided by fluorescence of photosensitizers for cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

▼ A novel bioassay for the evaluation of plant water status was developed by Burke (2007). The research reported herein was designed to evaluate this new protocol as a tool for use in cotton breeding programs for the identification of drought tolerant genotypes. Twenty genotypes were selected to represent diverse germplasm pools for a two-year field evaluation. Replicated tests were performed in Lubbock, TX and College Station, TX in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Dryland and irrigated treatments were administered in a split plot arrangement of a randomized complete block design. Fluorescence measurements were taken at mid-bloom and late bloom growth stages of growth. Source leaf tissue was harvested at predawn and subjected to high temperature incubation with fluorescence measurements subsequently taken hourly for five hours. Drought stressed plants had not mobilized their carbohydrate reserves from their source leaves overnight and thus maintained cell viability and therefore higher chlorophyll fluorescence values throughout the incubation with the opposite being true for nonstressed plants. Fiber lint yield and fiber properties were measured at the conclusion of the 2005 season in College Station and the 2006 season in College Station and Lubbock for comparison with the fluorescence data. Five genotypes, ?Acala 1517-99?, ?Deltapine 491? (PVP no. 200100159), ?Tamcot CAMD-E?, ?Tamcot 22? and TAM 89E-51, an unreleased breeding line, were selected based on field evaluation results in a preliminary study in 2005 to be included in a diallel analysis to determine the heritability of fluorescence measurements. Genotype x treatment effects complicated the classification of genotypic responses to drought. Few and inconsistent correlations were found among fluorescence values and lint yield or fiber properties. The diallel analysis did not identify general combining ability or specific combining ability effects for chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. Thus this procedure provides little potential in selecting plants for drought tolerance when plants are grown under field culture. Selection among Tamcot 22 and TAM 89E-51 plants for high and low genotypes according to fluorescence values did not yield progeny different from unselected Tamcot 22 and TAM 89E-51.

▼ Most membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells are co-translationally integrated into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane at aqueous pores termed translocons. During multi-spanning membrane protein (MSMP) integration, the nascent polypeptide is threaded into the translocon pore where each successive transmembrane segment (TMS) is moved laterally through the translocon into the bilayer. The hydrophilic polypeptide segments on each side of the TMS are alternately directed into either the aqueous cytosol or the aqueous ER lumen. How is the ER membrane permeability barrier maintained during this process? For a single-spanning signal-cleaved membrane protein, nascent chain movement into the lumen occurs while an ion-tight ribosome-translocon junction prevents ion flow through the translocon pore. Prior to opening this junction to allow nascent chain movement into the cytosol, BiP (Hsp70 binding protein) effects closure at the lumenal end of the pore to maintain the membrane permeability barrier. To determine whether the ribosome and BiP alternately mediate pore closure during the integration of a MSMP, integration intermediates with nascent chains of different lengths were prepared with a fluorescent probe positioned in the nascent chain far inside the ribosomal tunnel. Nascent chain exposure to the cytosol or lumen was then detected by the collisional quenching of the probe by iodide ions located on either the cytosolic or lumenal side of the membrane. While the first TMS through the tunnel caused the ribosome-translocon junction to open, the second TMS elicited both the closure of this junction and the opening of the lumenal end of the pore. Movement of a third TMS through the tunnel caused the ribosome-translocon junction to re-open after closure of the lumenal end. Pore opening and closing occurred after each TMS was 4-7 residues from the peptidyltransferase center, irrespective of TMS location in the nascent chain. The ribosome treated all TMSs in the same manner, regardless of their individual sequence or their native orientation. The ER membrane permeability barrier is maintained by ribosome-translocon interactions during cotranslational MSMP integration. Advisors/Committee Members: JOHNSON, ARTHUR E.
