        Abstract

         

        This unit addresses the applications of fluorescence microscopy and quantitative imaging to study multiple physiological variables of living tissue. Protocols are presented for fluorescence?based investigations ranging from in vitro cell and tissue approaches to in vivo imaging of intact organs. These include the measurement of cytosolic parameters both in vitro and in vivo (such as calcium, pH, and nitric oxide), dynamic cellular processes (renin granule exocytosis), FRET?based real?time assays of enzymatic activity (renin), physiological processes (vascular contraction, membrane depolarization), and whole organ functional parameters (blood flow, glomerular filtration). Multi?photon microscopy is ideal for minimally invasive and undisruptive deep optical sectioning of the living tissue, which translates into ultra?sensitive real?time measurement of these parameters with high spatial and temporal resolution. With the combination of cell and tissue cultures, microperfusion techniques, and whole organ or animal models, fluorescence imaging provides unmatched versatility for biological and medical studies of the living organism.

        •   Figure 12.12.4 In vivo imaging and quantification of renal functional parameters in a Munich‐Wistar rat. Quinacrine (green) is used to label acidic compartments (including renin granules) and 70‐kDa rhodamine (red) marks plasma in the intravascular space. (A ) Various cortical segments of the nephron may be visualized by z‐sectioning down to 200 µm below the surface of the kidney. A glomerulus (G) opens up into the proximal tubule (PT), and a collecting duct (CD) lies adjacent. Multiple functional compartments may be visualized simultaneously, down to the subcellular level. (B ) The single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) may be measured taking xy‐t video recordings and calculating the flow of Lucifer Yellow, an extracellular fluid marker, down the early portion of the PT. (C ) In vivo imaging of intracellular pH in the proximal tubule (PT). BCECF‐AM was loaded under the renal capsule in the living kidney to measure cell pH. Note the primarily apical, microvillar BCECF fluorescence in the PT indicating alkalotic conditions (bicarbonate reabsorption).
