Microscopic structural study of collagen aging in isolated fibrils using polarized second harmonic generation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polarization resolved second harmonic generation (PSHG) is developed to study, at the microscopic scale, the impact of aging on the structure of type I collagen fibrils in two-dimensional coatings. A ribose-glycated collagen is also used to mimic tissue glycation usually described as an indicator of aging. PSHG images are analyzed using a generic approach of the molecular disorder information in collagen fibrils, revealing significant changes upon aging, with a direct correlation between molecular disorder and fibril diameters.

The structural origin of second harmonic generation in fascia
Fascia tissue is rich in collagen type I proteins and can be imaged by second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy. While identifying the overall alignment of the collagen fibrils is evident from those images, the tridimensional structural origin for the observation of SHG signal is more complex than it apparently seems. Those images reveal that the noncentrosymmetric (piezoelectric) structures...
متن کاملHigh Contrast Interferometric Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy Probes the Polarity of Fibrils in Complex Collagenous Tissues
In recent years, Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique to image in situ non-centrosymmetric structures in tissues. In particular, SHG appears to be a very sensitive structural probe of the 3D architecture of collagen, a major structural protein of vertebrates, in biological tissues. However, due to the coherence of SHG, the signal intensity depends not ...
متن کاملSecond harmonic generation reveals collagen fibril remodeling in fibroblast-populated collagen gels.
Remodeling of collagen fibrils is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes including development, tissue repair, and metastasis. Fibroblast-populated collagen gel contraction has been employed as a model system to investigate the collagen fibril remodeling within three-dimensional collagen matrices. Research on collagen gel contraction is also important for understandin...

Collagen is a triple-helical protein that forms various macromolecular organizations in tissues and is responsible for the biomechanical and physical properties of most organs. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a valuable imaging technique to probe collagen fibrillar organization. In this article, we use a multiscale nonlinear optical formalism to bring theoretical evidence that an...
متن کاملIn vivo observation of age-related structural changes of dermal collagen in human facial skin using collagen-sensitive second harmonic generation microscope equipped with 1250-nm mode-locked Cr:Forsterite laser.
In vivo visualization of human skin aging is demonstrated using a Cr:Forsterite (Cr:F) laser-based, collagen-sensitive second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope. The deep penetration into human skin, as well as the specific sensitivity to collagen molecules, achieved by this microscope enables us to clearly visualize age-related structural changes of collagen fiber in the reticular dermis. He...
