Abstract
Real-time three-dimensional (3-D) imaging is crucial for quantifying correlations among various molecules under acute ischemic stroke. Insights into such correlations may be decisive in selecting molecules capable of providing a protective effect within a shorter period. The major bottleneck is maintaining the cultures under severely hypoxic conditions while simultaneously 3-D imaging intracellular organelles with a microscope. Moreover, comparing the protective effect of drugs and reoxygenation remains challenging. To address this, we propose a novel workflow for the induction of gas-environment-based hypoxia in the HMC-3 cells along with 3-D imaging using laser-scanning-confocal microscopy. The imaging framework is complemented with a pipeline for quantifying time-lapse videos and cell-state classification. First, we show an imaging-based assessment of the in vitro model for hypoxia using a steep gradient in O(2) with time. Second, we demonstrate the correlation between mitochondrial superoxide production and cytosolic calcium under acute hypoxia. We then test the efficacy of an L-type calcium channel blocker, compare the results with reoxygenation, and show that the blocker alleviates hypoxic conditions in terms of cytosolic calcium and viability within an acute window of one hour. Furthermore, we show that the drug reduces the expression of oxidative stress markers (HIF1A and OXR1) within the same time window. In the future, this model can also be used to investigate drug toxicity and efficacy under ischemic conditions.
