This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. PI will be developing multiphoton (MPM) optical imaging methods to systematically study human glioblastoma multiform spheroids embedded in various 3D ECMs. These experimental cancer model systems are used to mimic the in vivo gliomas. An MPM ratiometric redox fluorometry method based on intrinsic cellular fluorescence from reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and oxidized flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to study mitochondrial energy metabolism will be developed by the PI. Coupling these finding with the evaluations of mitochondrial membrane using a dye and visualizing F-actin distribution in conjunction with mitochondrial signals will furnish a better understanding on how ECM alters the growth, differentiation and metabolic states of the malignant glioma cells. The imaging methods developed will help cancer investigators to study key cancer properties such as cell survival and metastasis and can allow accurate measurements of tumor response to treatments. The studies proposed will benefit current therapies and prognosis for glioblastoma multiform.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 PI将开发多光子（MPM）光学成像方法，以系统地研究各种3D ECM中嵌入的人类胶质母细胞瘤多形性球体。这些实验性癌症模型系统用于模拟体内神经胶质瘤。PI将开发一种基于还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸（NADH）和氧化型黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸（FAD）的固有细胞荧光的MPM比率氧化还原荧光法，以研究线粒体能量代谢。 将这些发现与使用染料的线粒体膜的评估以及与线粒体信号结合的可视化F-actin分布相结合，将更好地理解ECM如何改变恶性胶质瘤细胞的生长、分化和代谢状态。 开发的成像方法将帮助癌症研究人员研究关键的癌症特性，如细胞存活和转移，并可以准确测量肿瘤对治疗的反应。这些研究将有助于目前多形性胶质母细胞瘤的治疗和预后。
