Bioluminescence imaging: progress and applications

Abstract: Application of bioluminescence imaging has grown tremendously in the past decade and has significantly contributed to the core conceptual advances in biomedical research. This technology provides valuable means for monitoring of different biological processes for immunology, oncology, virology and neuroscience. In this review, we will discuss current trends in bioluminescence and its application in different fields with emphasis on cancer research.

“…In this instantiation, both the intensity and spectral properties of bioluminescent proteins are altered when they are associated with fluorescent proteins in a process termed bioluminescence resonance energy transfer. [31][32][33] Luciferase proteins have also [34][35][36][37][38] Given the expanding toolbox of bioluminescent proteins and their wide variety of applications (see reviews by Badr and Tannous 39 and Saito and Nagai 40 ), it is timely to look at methods of detection of bioluminescence in laboratories not necessarily set up for bioluminescence imaging per se or unwilling to purchase commercially available bioluminescence imagers (e.g., Olympus LV200 microscope, IVIS Spectrum animal imager). In this paper, we discuss advantages and disadvantages of the various methods we have utilized for detection and quantification of bioluminescent signals from live cells and animals.…”

“…Four hours later, the animals were sacrificed by CO 2 , and target organs were removed and frozen on dry ice. For the luciferase assay, the tissues were homogenized in 1 mL of 5× cell culture lysis buffer (Promega), incubated on ice for 5 min, and then spun in a centrifuge for 5 min.…”

“…Because mammalian tissues do not naturally emit bioluminescence, in vivo BLI has considerable appeal because images can be generated with very little background signal, and BLI is emerging as a powerful technology for multiple therapeutic areas. [1][2][3] The utility of reporter gene technology makes it possible to analyze specific cellular and biological processes in a living animal through imaging methods. 1 For several years, bioluminescence-based reporter gene assays have been employed to measure functional activity of G-proteincoupled receptors (GPCRs).…”

“…One set of noninvasive imaging methods take advantage of genetically introduced imaging reporters in cancer cells to track their location in vivo. These techniques include fluorescence, bioluminescence, positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) [8][9][10] . †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available.…”
