Life is dependent upon the ability of a cell to rapidly respond to changes in the environment. Small perturbations in local environments change the ability of molecules to interact and, hence, communicate. Hydrostatic pressure provides a rapid non-invasive, fully reversible method for modulating affinities between molecules both in vivo and in vitro. We have developed a simple fluorescence imaging chamber that allows intracellular protein dynamics and molecular events to be followed at pressures <200 bar in living cells. By using yeast, we investigated the impact of hydrostatic pressure upon cell growth and cell-cycle progression. While 100 bar has no effect upon viability, it induces a delay in chromosome segregation, resulting in the accumulation of long undivided cells that are also bent, consistent with disruption of the cytoskeletons. This delay is independent of stress signalling and induces synchronisation of cell-cycle progression. Equivalent effects were observed in Candida albicans, with pressure inducing a reversible cell-cycle delay and hyphal growth. We present a simple novel non-invasive fluorescence microscopy-based approach to transiently impact molecular dynamics in order to visualise, dissect and study signalling pathways and cellular processes in living cells. Summary: Development of a simple fluorescence imaging chamber allowing observation of intracellular protein dynamics and molecular events in living cells at pressure up to 200 bar.
