By inducing stress on Retinal Pigment Epithelium cell cultures, changes in dynamic subcellular signals were observed with Dynamic Full-Field OCT. Comparing with immunochemistry, mitochondria were identified as the main contributor of dynamic signal.
Dynamic FFOCT allows us to record the intrinsic motion of biological samples in 3D, over hours. We performed scratch assays on primary porcine RPE and human induced pluripotent stem cells derived RPE cell cultures. We plotted motion maps from the optical flow. For wounds <40µm, the cell layer close the wound at different speeds depending on the type of RPE cells. For bigger wounds, the cell layer retract, mimicking degenerative diseases. Comparison between Dynamic FFOCT images and Immuno-chemistry images showed that mitochondria may contribute to the dynamic profile of cells. Dynamic FFOCT can be useful for the study of regenerative medicine.
