One key takeaway is the importance of initiating a consultation at the outset of a flow cytometry project, particularly for trainees. This approach enables the improvement and standardization of every step, from planning experiments to interpreting data. This proactive approach effectively mitigates experimental bias and avoids superfluous trial and error, thereby conserving valuable time and resources. In addition to guidelines, the optimal approaches for user consultation specify communication channels, methods, and critical information, thereby establishing a structure for productive correspondence between SRL and users. This framework functions as an exemplar for establishing robust and autonomous collaborative relationships. User consultation adds value by providing researchers with the necessary information to conduct reproducible flow cytometry experiments that adhere to scientific rigor. By following the steps, instructions, and strategies outlined in these best practices, an SRL can readily tailor them to its own setting, establishing a personalized workflow and formalizing user consultation services.

To demonstrate its utility, we characterized unstained mitochondrial networks in healthy retinal cells and in retinal cells exposed to two types of treatments: rotenone, which directly inhibited mitochondrial respiration and ATP production, and iodoacetic acid, which had a milder impact on mitochondrial networks via the inhibition of anaerobic glycolysis. For both cases, our multi-dimensional feature analysis combined with a support vector machine classifier distinguished between healthy cells and those treated with rotenone or iodoacetic acid. Subtle changes in morphological features were measured including increased fragmentation in the treated retinal cells, pointing to an association with metabolic mechanisms.

The characterization of different senescence-associated phenotypes requires selection of the most relevant senescence markers to define reliable cytometric methodologies. Mass cytometry (a.k.a. Cytometry by time of flight, CyTOF) can monitor up to 40 different cell markers at the single-cell level and has the potential to integrate multiple senescence and other phenotypic markers to identify senescent cells within a complex tissue such as skeletal muscle, with greater accuracy and scalability than traditional bulk measurements and flow cytometry-based measurements. This article introduces an analysis framework for detecting putative senescent cells based on clustering, outlier detection, and Boolean logic for outliers. Results show that the pipeline can identify putative senescent cells in skeletal muscle with well-established markers such as p21 and potential markers such as GAPDH. It was also found that heterogeneity of putative senescent cells in skeletal muscle can partly be explained by their cell type. Additionally, autophagy-related proteins ATG4A, LRRK2, and GLB1 were identified as important proteins in predicting the putative senescent population, providing insights into the association between autophagy and senescence. It was observed that sex did not affect the proportion of putative senescent cells among total cells. However, age did have an effect, with a higher proportion observed in fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), satellite cells, M1 and M2 macrophages from old mice. Moreover, putative senescent cells from muscle of old and young mice show different expression levels of senescence-related proteins, with putative senescent cells of old mice having higher levels of p21 and GAPDH, whereas putative senescent cells of young mice had higher levels of IL-6. Overall, the analysis framework prioritizes multiple senescence-associated proteins to characterize putative senescent cells sourced from tissue made of different cell types.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cyto.a.24853","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141589897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of AF in our cytometry assays is not new, one must only search the term “autofluorescence” in this journal to see nearly 1000 publications associated with the subject dating back to the earliest days of publication (<span>1</span>).

Components like collagen, elastin, tryptophan, NADH, and flavins to name just a few (<span>2</span>), the emission of these components falls predominantly between 400 and 600 nm in mammalian cells. These components, and many others, contribute to the variety of cellular AF found within samples. Cell type, size, granularity, and metabolic state all contribute to variations in AF (<span>2, 3</span>).</p><p>Historically, when encountering a sample with high AF, such as that from an enzymatically digested tissue, one would simply choose red and far-red emitting fluorochromes, thus avoiding the shorter wavelengths most impacted by autofluorescence.

Here, we present a fluorescence lifetime-sensitive flow cytometer that offers the same TCSPC temporal resolution in a flow geometry, with low-cost single-photon excitation sources, a throughput of tens of cells per second, and real-time single-cell analysis.

A CMOS camera produces simultaneous brightfield images using far-red illumination. A second PMT provides two-color analysis.
