Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To analyze externalization of phosphatidylserine via annexin V on apoptotic cells by laser scanning confocal microscopy and factor analysis of biomedical image sequences (FAMIS). STUDY DESIGN: Streptavidin-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), -europium (Eu), -phycoerythrin (PE) and -Texas Red (TR) were chosen to reveal the binding of biotinylated annexin V on apoptotic U937 human leukemic cells and ECV-304 human endothelial cells induced under treatment with 7-ketocholesterol or 7 beta-hydroxycholesterol. Excitation of each fluorochrome was obtained by selection of specific lines (351 + 364 nm, 488 nm) of the argon laser of a confocal microscope. Temporal and spectral series were performed to characterize each fluorochrome. FAMIS was applied to these series to estimate images corresponding to stains. RESULTS: Each fluorochrome was clearly distinguished, and images showed localization of phosphatidylserine, which was improved by image analysis. CONCLUSION: On apoptotic cells it is possible to analyze differences in the improved visualization of phosphatidylserine in series processed by FAMIS with the use of biotinylated annexin V revealed with streptavidin-FITC, -Eu, -PE or -TR. |
