Multiparameter Mechanical Phenotyping for Accurate Cell Identification Using High-Throughput Microfluidic Deformability Cytometry
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY(2024)
Abstract
Mechanical phenotyping has been widely employed for single-cell analysis over recent years. However, most previous works on characterizing the cellular mechanical properties measured only a single parameter from one image. In this paper, the quasi-real-time multiparameter analysis of cell mechanical properties was realized using high-throughput adjustable deformability cytometry. We first extracted 12 deformability parameters from the cell contours. Then, the machine learning for cell identification was performed to preliminarily verify the rationality of multiparameter mechanical phenotyping. The experiments on characterizing cells after cytoskeletal modification verified that multiple parameters extracted from the cell contours contributed to an identification accuracy of over 80%. Through continuous frame analysis of the cell deformation process, we found that temporal variation and an average level of parameters were correlated with cell type. To achieve quasi-real-time and high-precision multiplex-type cell detection, we constructed a back propagation (BP) neural network model to complete the fast identification of four cell lines. The multiparameter detection method based on time series achieved cell detection with an accuracy of over 90%. To solve the challenges of cell rarity and data lacking for clinical samples, based on the developed BP neural network model, the transfer learning method was used for the identification of three different clinical samples, and finally, a high identification accuracy of approximately 95% was achieved.
