Abstract
Life is dependent upon the ability of a cell to rapidly respond to changes in
environment. Small perturbations in local environments change the ability of
molecules to interact and hence communicate. Hydrostatic pressure provides
a rapid non-invasive, fully-reversible method for modulating affinities between
molecules both in vivo and in vitro. We have developed a simple fluorescence
imaging chamber that allows intracellular protein dynamics and molecular
events to be followed at pressures up to 200 bar in living cells. Using yeast we
investigate the impact of hydrostatic pressure upon cell growth and cell cycle
progression. While 100 bar has no affect upon viability, it induces a delay in
chromosome segregation, resulting in the accumulation of long-undividedbent
cells, consistent with disruption of the cytoskeletons. This delay is
independent of stress signalling and induces synchronisation of cell-cycle
progression. Equivalent affects were observed in Candida albicans, with
pressure inducing a reversible cell-cycle delay and hyphal growth. We present
a simple novel non-invasive fluorescence microscopy based approach to
transiently impact molecular dynamics to visualise, dissect and study signalling pathways and cellular processes in living cells.
