Abstract
- Background: Identifying cells engaged in fundamental cellular processes, such as proliferation or living/death statuses, is pivotal across numerous research fields. However, prevailing methods relying on molecular biomarkers are constrained by high costs, limited specificity, protracted sample preparation, and reliance on fluorescence imaging. Methods: Based on cellular morphology in phase contrast images, we developed a deep-learning model named Detector of Mitosis, Apoptosis, Interphase, Necrosis, and Senescence (D-MAINS). Results: D-MAINS utilizes machine learning and image processing techniques, enabling swift and label-free categorization of cell death, division, and senescence at a single-cell resolution. Impressively, D-MAINS achieved an accuracy of 96.4 ± 0.5% and was validated with established molecular biomarkers. D-MAINS underwent rigorous testing under varied conditions not initially present in the training dataset. It demonstrated proficiency across diverse scenarios, encompassing additional cell lines, drug treatments, and distinct microscopes with different objective lenses and magnifications, affirming the robustness and adaptability of D-MAINS across multiple experimental setups. Conclusions: D-MAINS is an example showcasing the feasibility of a low-cost, rapid, and label-free methodology for distinguishing various cellular states. Its versatility makes it a promising tool applicable across a broad spectrum of biomedical research contexts, particularly in cell death and oncology studies.
