Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Cellular Biology
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Single-molecule detection methods like fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) are crucial for investigating living cells.
  • Conventional FCS has limitations in real-time, quantitative analysis across multiple regions of interest (ROI).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel multipoint FCS (M-FCS) system for enhanced cellular analysis.
  • To assess the M-FCS system's capability for simultaneous, real-time kinetic process quantification in living cells.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel multipoint FCS (M-FCS) system capable of simultaneous multipoint correlation function measurements.
  • Performance evaluation using rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) and green fluorescence protein (GFP) in HeLa cells.
  • Application to track glucocorticoid receptor protein fused GFP (GR-GFP) translocation in HeLa cells using M-FCS and laser scanning microscopy (LSM).

Main Results:

  • The M-FCS system demonstrated reliable performance in homogeneous and cellular environments.
  • Simultaneous M-FCS and LSM successfully observed GR-GFP translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus upon ligand stimulation.
  • Slower GR-GFP diffusion in the nucleus indicated post-translocation molecular interactions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed M-FCS system provides reliable and quantitative real-time analysis of molecular dynamics in living cells.
  • M-FCS is a valuable tool for studying kinetic processes, such as protein translocation and interactions, within specific cellular compartments.
