Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedical imaging, and in particular to a method and related apparatus for optimizing imaging parameters of clathrin in live cells based on an SRRF nanomicroscope. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of biomedical imaging, the study of living cells is crucial, and observing the dynamic changes of specific proteins within living cells is one of the key steps in gaining a deeper understanding of cellular physiological processes. Clathrins (CCPs), as key proteins involved in a variety of important physiological functions within cells, have always been a hot topic in the field of kinetic studies.

[0003] Traditional microscopy imaging techniques, limited by resolution, struggle to achieve precise nanoscale observation of CCPs within living cells, significantly hindering in-depth research into CCP dynamics. While conventional fluorescence microscopy can image cells, it cannot overcome the optical diffraction limit, failing to clearly reveal the details and dynamic changes of CCPs at the nanoscale. The emergence of super-resolution microscopy offers hope for solving this problem. Among them, the SRRF nanomicroscopy enables high-speed in vivo imaging at nanoscale resolution, is compatible with conventional fluorescence microscopy, and significantly lowers the technical barrier to super-resolution imaging. This method exhibits low phototoxicity and good compatibility, making it ideal for long-term, super-resolution dynamic imaging of living cells. However, when using the SRRF nanomicroscopy to image clathrin in living cells, reconstruction artifacts arise. These artifacts interfere with the accurate assessment of the true dynamics of CCPs, leading to biased observations and affecting the accuracy and reliability of the research. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method and related device for optimizing imaging parameters of live-cell clathrin based on SRRF nanomicroscopy, which can reduce reconstruction artifacts and achieve high-fidelity nanoscale observation of the dynamics of live-cell CCPs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for optimizing live-cell clathrin imaging parameters based on SRRF nanomicroscopy, including:

[0007] Under live cell culture conditions, time-series imaging of live cell samples expressing fluorescent labels was performed using a TIRF microscope to obtain the original image sequence;

[0008] The original image sequence is input into the NanoJ-SRRF processing system, and the core reconstruction parameters are systematically combined to generate a super-resolution reconstructed image with systematically combined parameters. The systematically combined parameters include: ring radius, radial magnification, number of ring axes, temporal analysis mode, radial constraint mode, weighting strategy, and correction method.

[0009] For super-resolution reconstructed images with systematic combined parameters, a multimodal evaluation system including SQUIRREL error mapping, resolution scaling Pearson coefficient, resolution scaling error, full width at half maximum (FWHM) measurement, and line profile analysis is used for comprehensive quantitative evaluation to obtain multimodal quantitative quality evaluation results.

[0010] Based on the multimodal quantitative quality assessment results, the parameter combination that can simultaneously meet the preset resolution index, structural fidelity index and minimize visual artifacts is selected and determined as the optimal parameter set for imaging clathrin-coated pits in live cells.

[0011] Optionally, the live cell culture conditions are 37°C and 5% CO2 environment; the TIRF microscope uses a 100x oil immersion lens with a numerical aperture of 1.4; the fluorescent label is CLTA-GFP; and the time-series imaging frame rate is 20 frames / second.

[0012] Optionally, the value of the ring radius ranges from 0.1 to 3.0; the value of the radial magnification ranges from 1, 5, and 10; the value of the number of ring axes ranges from 2, 6, and 8; the time analysis modes include TRA, TRPPM, and TRAC; the radial constraint modes include positive constraint removal, renormalization, and gradient smoothing; the weighting strategies include intensity weighting and gradient weighting; and the correction methods include minimizing SRRF correction mode and fast linearization correction mode.

[0013] Optionally, the optimal parameter set is as follows: loop radius is 1.0, time analysis mode is TRPPM, radial magnification is 5, number of loop axes is 6, weighting strategy is intensity weighting strategy, correction method is enabled by minimizing SRRF correction mode, and radial constraint mode is enabled by removing positive constraints and disabling gradient smoothing.

[0014] Optionally, the preset resolution specification is a full width at half maximum (FWHM) ≤ 220nm.

[0015] Optionally, the structural fidelity index is ≥0.92.

[0016] Optionally, the minimum manifestation of the visual artifact is that there are no significant abnormal hot spots in the SQUIRREL error heatmap.

[0017] Secondly, this application provides a live-cell clathrin imaging parameter optimization system based on an SRRF nanomicroscope, used to implement the aforementioned live-cell clathrin imaging parameter optimization method based on an SRRF nanomicroscope, comprising:

[0018] The TIRF microscope imaging module is used to perform time-series imaging of live cell samples expressing fluorescent labels under live cell culture conditions using a TIRF microscope to acquire raw image sequences.

[0019] The NanoJ-SRRF image processing module is used to input the original image sequence into the NanoJ-SRRF processing system, systematically combine the core reconstruction parameters, and generate a super-resolution reconstructed image with systematically combined parameters. The systematically combined parameters include: ring radius, radial magnification, number of ring axes, time analysis mode, radial constraint mode, weighting strategy, and correction method.

[0020] The multimodal quality assessment module is used to comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate super-resolution reconstructed images with systematic combined parameters using a multimodal assessment system that includes SQUIRREL error mapping, resolution scaling Pearson coefficient, resolution scaling error, full width at half maximum (FWHM) measurement, and line profile analysis, to obtain multimodal quantitative quality assessment results.

[0021] The optimal parameter decision module is used to select the parameter combination that can simultaneously meet the preset resolution index, structural fidelity index and minimize visual artifacts based on the multimodal quantitative quality assessment results, and determine it as the optimal parameter set for imaging of clathrin-coated pits in live cells.

[0022] Thirdly, this application provides a computer device, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the method for optimizing live-cell clathrin imaging parameters based on SRRF nanomicroscopy as described above.

[0023] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method for optimizing live-cell clathrin imaging parameters based on an SRRF nanomicroscope as described above.

[0024] According to the specific embodiments provided in this application, the following technical effects are disclosed:

[0025] This application provides a method and related apparatus for optimizing imaging parameters of clathrin in live cells based on SRRF nanomicroscopy. Under live cell culture conditions, TIRF microscopy is used to perform time-series imaging of live cell samples expressing fluorescent labels, acquiring raw image sequences. This imaging method better meets the observation environment requirements of live cells. The raw image sequences are input into the NanoJ-SRRF processing system, where multiple core reconstruction parameters, including ring radius, radial magnification, ring axis number, time analysis mode, radial constraint mode, weighting strategy, and correction method, are systematically combined to generate several super-resolution reconstructed images. Through full or partial combined scanning, the imaging potential under different parameter combinations can be fully explored. For the super-resolution images reconstructed by each parameter combination, a multimodal evaluation system including SQUIRREL error mapping, resolution scaling Pearson coefficient, resolution scaling error, full width at half maximum (FWHM) measurement, and line profile analysis is used for comprehensive quantitative evaluation, obtaining multimodal quantitative quality assessment results. A multimodal evaluation system considers image quality from different dimensions. For example, error mapping reflects the error between the reconstructed image and the real image, resolution scaling indicators assess resolution, and full width at half maximum (FWHM) and line contour analysis help analyze image details. This comprehensive evaluation makes the judgment of image quality more accurate. Based on the results of the multimodal quantitative quality evaluation, the parameter combination that simultaneously meets the preset resolution and structural fidelity indicators while minimizing visual artifacts is selected as the optimal parameter set for imaging clathrin-coated pits in live cells. This rigorous selection criterion ensures that the final parameter set achieves the best balance between resolution, structural fidelity, and artifact reduction, thereby enabling high-fidelity nanoscale observation of the dynamics of live-cell CCPs and effectively reducing reconstruction artifacts.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for optimizing live-cell clathrin imaging parameters based on SRRF nanomicroscopy, including:

[0041] Step 101: Under live cell culture conditions, use a TIRF microscope to perform time-series imaging of live cell samples expressing fluorescent labels to obtain the original image sequence;

[0042] Step 102: Input the original image sequence into the NanoJ-SRRF processing system, systematically combine the core reconstruction parameters, and generate a super-resolution reconstructed image with systematically combined parameters;

[0043] Step 103: For the super-resolution reconstructed image with systematic combined parameters, a multimodal evaluation system including SQUIRREL error mapping, resolution scaling Pearson coefficient, resolution scaling error, full width at half maximum (FWHM) measurement and line profile analysis is used for comprehensive quantitative evaluation to obtain multimodal quantitative quality evaluation results.

[0044] Step 104: Based on the multimodal quantitative quality assessment results, select the parameter combination that can simultaneously meet the preset resolution index, structural fidelity index and minimize visual artifacts, and determine it as the optimal parameter set for imaging clathrin-coated pits in live cells.

[0045] In some embodiments, when performing steps 101-104, the specific steps may be as follows:

[0046] The live cell culture conditions were 37°C and 5% CO2; images of HeLa cells expressing CLTA-GFP were acquired at 20fps using a TIRF microscope (100×, NA 1.4).

[0047] When performing a systematic full combination of parameters: the loop radius (0.1-3.0), radial magnification (1 / 5 / 10), number of loop axes (2 / 6 / 8), time analysis mode (TRA / TRPPM / TRAC), radial constraints (positive constraint removal / renormalization / gradient smoothing), weighting strategy (intensity / gradient weighting), and correction method (minimize SRRF mode / fast linearization) of NanoJ-SRRF are fully combined and reconstructed.

[0048] Specifically, the ring radius is optimized to 1.0, achieving a balance between resolution (218±37nm) and structural fidelity (RSP 0.935±0.018), avoiding filamentary artifacts of small radius (0.1-0.5) and fidelity reduction of large radius (2.0-3.0) (RSP<0.89).

[0049] The optimal parameter set is as follows: loop radius is 1.0, time analysis mode is TRPPM, radial magnification is 5, number of loop axes is 6, weighting strategy is intensity weighting strategy, correction method is enabled by minimizing SRRF correction mode, and radial constraint mode is enabled by removing positive constraints and disabling gradient smoothing.

[0050] Specifically, the preferred temporal analysis mode is TRPPM, which improves the resolution to 154±30nm while preserving the fidelity of the TRA mode (RSP / RSE comparable to the baseline), significantly outperforming the artifact expansion problem of the TRAC mode (RSP↓22%, RSE↑63%). Disabling gradient weighting and positive constraint removal avoids background artifacts (RSP decreases to 0.273±0.151) and fidelity loss (RSE increases to 229.90±31.76).

[0051] The preset resolution index is FWHM ≤ 220nm. The structure fidelity index is RSP ≥ 0.92. The minimum visual artifact is defined as the absence of significant abnormal hot spots in the SQUIRREL error heatmap.

[0052] This application also provides specific implementation examples:
