Popis: Summary One of the most challenging frontiers in biological systems understanding is fluorescent label-free imaging. We present here the NeuriTES platform that revisits the standard paradigms of video analysis to detect unlabeled objects and adapt to the dynamic evolution of the phenomenon under observation. Object segmentation is reformulated using robust algorithms to assure regular cell detection and transfer entropy measures are used to study the inter-relationship among the parameters related to the evolving system. We applied the NeuriTES platform to the automatic analysis of neurites degeneration in presence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and to the study of the effects of a chemotherapy drug on living prostate cancer cells (PC3) cultures. Control cells have been considered in both the two cases study. Accuracy values of 93% and of 92% are achieved, respectively. NeuriTES not only represents a tool for investigation in fluorescent label-free images but demonstrates to be adaptable to individual needs.
Highlights • Monitoring of cell phenotype changes by fluorescence label-free time-lapse microscopy • Adaptive semantic segmentation for the robust detection of cell shape • TE to correlate morphological and textural soma descriptors along time • Directed TE graph for the representation of mutual relationship among descriptors
The bigger picture One of the most challenging frontiers for the automatic understanding of biological systems is fluorescent label-free imaging in which the behavior changes of living being are characterized without cell staining. To this aim, we present here the NeuriTES platform that revisits standard paradigms of video analysis to detect unlabeled objects and correlate the analysis to phenotype evolution of the mechanisms under observation. Through the exploitation of adaptive algorithms and of transfer entropy measures, the platform assures regular cell detection and the possibility to extract reliable parameters related to the evolving cell system. As a proof-of-concept, NeuriTES is applied to two fascinating phenotype investigation scenarios, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease mechanism and the study of the effects of a chemotherapy drug on living prostate cancer cells (PC3) cultures. Directed graphs assist the biologists with a visual understanding of the mechanisms identified.
Nowadays, observational traits (phenotype) of biological entities complement with genomics offering the possibility to monitor phenomenon evolutions and underlying mechanism (neurodegeneration, cancer cell replication, etc.). By complementing video, data analysis, and machine learning approaches with label-free time-lapse microscopy, NeuriTES tool allows automatically analyzing such traits and extracting as outcomes proof of concepts and visual graph-based representation of the phenotypical rationale behind.
