Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of super-resolution fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging, and particularly relates to a super-resolution FRET image reconstruction method based on acceptor-donor intermolecular dipole resonance constraint. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is an important technical means for detecting the structure and dynamic interaction of biological macromolecules in living cells. FRET can quantitatively and dynamically analyze the interaction and conformational changes of biological macromolecules at a scale of 1-10 nm in living cells. However, due to the limitation of spatial resolution by the optical diffraction limit, the spatial resolution of FRET imaging based on wide-field microscopy or confocal microscopy is greater than 200 nm, making it difficult to reveal the structural information of biological macromolecules at the subcellular structure. By combining super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) with FRET imaging technology, super-resolution FRET microscopy (SIM-FRET) based on structured illumination is developed to improve the spatial resolution of FRET technology and make FERT detection more accurate at the subcellular level, providing a new method for analyzing the dynamic process of biological macromolecule interaction in subcellular organelles of living cells.
[0003] Currently, super-resolution SIM-FRET imaging adopts a two-step image reconstruction strategy of first SIM reconstruction and then quantitative FRET analysis, and its fidelity is restricted by SIM reconstruction artifacts. The linear Wiener SIM reconstruction method can maintain the gray scale fidelity of the reconstructed image, but it will produce significant magnified noise artifacts, and the artifacts will further accumulate in FRET algebraic operation, thereby affecting the quantitative FRET analysis. A method is proposed in the patent with application number 2022103326816 to filter out random noise artifacts after SIM reconstruction and then perform quantitative FRET analysis using the co-localization mask. This method generates a binary mask using the spatial co-localization characteristics of FRET, and filters out false positive FRET signals caused by noise artifacts through the mask; however, this method relies on manual threshold selection for mask generation, and cannot completely eliminate the noise artifacts superimposed on the FRET signal. Another Chinese patent (application number: 202310581280.9) proposes a method of super-resolution SIM-FRET reconstruction after denoising the original image data by a self-supervised learning denoising neural network. This method denoises the original fluorescence image by a self-supervised learning denoising neural network for preprocessing.
[0004] The prior arts above are all based on the super-resolution SIM-FRET two-step reconstruction strategy, but have the following shortcomings: first, due to the lack of FRET prior information constraint in the first step SIM image reconstruction process, the SIM reconstruction and FRET analysis are two independent processes, resulting in the super-resolution FRET signal not being faithful. Second, the artifacts caused by the step-by-step reconstruction steps are difficult to completely eliminate, affecting the accuracy of quantitative FRET analysis. SUMMARY
[0005] The main purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, and provide a super-resolution FRET image reconstruction method based on the intermolecular dipole resonance constraint of the donor and acceptor molecules, which uses the donor-acceptor molecular dipole resonance prior information to correlate and constrain the super-resolution SIM imaging, and then constructs a SI-FRET unified forward model and a reconstruction objective function, realizes the reconstruction of the super-resolution FRET sample fluorescence signal through forward iterative solution, and obtains the super-resolution FRET efficiency distribution and the donor concentration ratio distribution, thereby improving the fidelity of the super-resolution quantitative FRET imaging and the accuracy of the quantitative analysis.

[0115] Where H FRETFor FRET three-channel point spread function, is the FRET three-channel cosine structured light field, where θ and n represent different directional angles and different phases of the structured light field, respectively, and M is the FRET three-channel spectral mixing parameter;
[0116] The second term, R(X), is a regularization term used to incorporate prior information from the FRET three-channel fluorescence image to improve the well-posedness of the solution. Since the structure of biological samples is continuously changing while noise is random and discontinuous, and the minimum signal collected during fluorescence imaging is zero, based on the above priors, the regularization term in this application employs spatial continuity regularization and / or non-negative regularization. In this embodiment, the spatial continuity regularization uses TV regularization constraints, expressed as:
[0117]
[0118] in , respectively, are the horizontal and vertical first-order gradients of the fluorescence image, and ||·||1 is the L1 norm;
[0119] Nonnegative positive coercion introduces a nonnegative constraint on fluorescence intensity in fluorescence images, expressed as:
[0120]
[0121] Finally, based on the functional properties of the regularization term, a suitable optimization algorithm is designed to iteratively solve the regularized reconstruction objective function of the SI-FRETM unified forward model, obtaining the reconstructed fluorescence distribution of the FRET samples. In this embodiment, the split Bregman method is used to introduce splitting and auxiliary variables into the regularized reconstruction objective function of the SI-FRETM unified forward model, decoupling it into several sub-problems that are solved iteratively step by step to obtain the reconstructed fluorescence distribution of the FRET samples.
[0122] S5. Based on the reconstructed super-resolution donor fluorescence distribution, super-resolution acceptor fluorescence distribution, and super-resolution sensitized FRET fluorescence distribution, the super-resolution FRET efficiency distribution and acceptor-donor concentration ratio distribution are obtained through pixel-by-pixel calculation:
[0123]
[0124] Among them, E D For donor-centric apparent efficiency, E A For receptor-centric epigenetic efficiency, R C X1 represents the donor-recipient concentration ratio distribution, X2 represents the reconstruction result of the total super-resolution donor fluorescence distribution, X3 represents the reconstruction result of the total super-resolution acceptor fluorescence distribution, and X4 represents the reconstruction result of the super-resolution sensitized FRET fluorescence distribution.
[0125] To further demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, this embodiment utilizes a simulation model for testing. Pre-set parameters are a = 0.2, b = 0, c = 0, d = 0.8, G = 5, and k = 0.69. This simulation model assumes a fixed FRET efficiency of 0.3 and a donor-recipient concentration ratio of 1:1 for the radiometric FRET signal. It uses parameters consistent with the actual system to simulate the mixing degree of the three-channel FRET spectrum, structured light modulation, and point spread function (PSF) fuzzy simulation to generate the original three-channel FRET data set. For example... Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the FRET efficiency and donor-recipient concentration ratio results of the method in this embodiment for reconstructing a simulated FRET three-channel original image containing 30% Gaussian white noise. Figure 2 (a) shows the wide-field FRET results. Figure 2 (b) shows the linear Wiener SIM-FRET reconstruction results. Figure 2 (c) shows the iterative reconstruction result of the regularized SI-FRETM objective function provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 In Figure (d), the iterative reconstruction results provided in this embodiment include the TV and non-negative regularized SI-FRETM objective functions. From... Figure 2 It is evident that the FRET efficiency histogram and donor-acceptor concentration ratio histogram of the linear Wiener SIM-FRET are broadened due to noise artifacts. However, the unregularized SI-FRETM model reconstruction effectively suppresses noise artifacts. Furthermore, in the SI-FRETM reconstruction results with the introduction of TV and non-negative regularization constraints, the standard deviations of the FRET efficiency histogram and donor-acceptor concentration ratio histogram are further reduced. This indicates that the super-resolution FRET image reconstruction method based on donor-acceptor intermolecular dipole resonance constraints of this invention is more robust to noise, effectively suppresses false-positive FRET signals caused by noise artifacts, and improves the fidelity of super-resolution FRET reconstruction and the accuracy of quantitative analysis.
[0126] To further demonstrate the effectiveness of the super-resolution FRET image reconstruction method based on donor-acceptor molecular dipole resonance constraint, this embodiment also used MCF7 live cells for experimentation. In MCF7 live cells, the Acta-G17M plasmid was used to target and label the mitochondrial outer membrane. Pre-measurements yielded a = 0.045179054, b = 0.000912663, c = 0.001961017, d = 0.054721272, G = 0.381640369, and k = 2.40367731. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a different example.) Figure 3 As shown, compared with linear Wiener SIM-FRET, the SI-FRETM model iterative reconstruction can resolve the FRET signal in the mitochondrial outer membrane region contaminated by noise in SIM-FRET imaging. This indicates that the super-resolution FRET image reconstruction method based on donor-receptor molecular dipole resonance constraint of the present invention can effectively suppress noise artifacts in live cell FRET imaging.
