Abstract

Assessment of T-cell response to the tumor is important for diagnosis of the disease and monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. For this, new non-destructive label-free methods are required. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of metabolic coenzymes is a promising innovative technology for the assessment of the functional status of cells. The purpose of this work was to test whether FLIM can resolve metabolic alterations that accompany T-cell reactivation to the tumors. The study was carried out on C57Bl/6 FoxP3-EGFP mice bearing B16F0 melanoma. Autofluorescence of the immune cells in fresh lymphatic nodes (LNs) was investigated. It was found that fluorescence lifetime parameters of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) NAD(P)H are sensitive to tumor development. Effector T-cells in the LNs displayed higher contribution of free NADH, the form associated with glycolysis, in all tumors and the presence of protein-bound NADPH, associated with biosynthetic processes, in the tumors of large size. Flow cytometry showed that the changes in the NADH fraction of the effector T-cells correlated with their activation, while changes in NADPH correlated with cell proliferation. In conclusion, FLIM of NAD(P)H in fresh lymphoid tissue is a powerful tool for assessing the immune response to tumor development.
