1.IntroductionEstimation of the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen () is a challenging task that in common practice requires knowledge of both blood oxygenation and flow.1 is estimated from multiple measurements analyzed within the context of an appropriate mathematical model of the physiology and the measured quantities. Indeed, all methods of estimating are essentially solving a mass balance equation, where is equated to the difference of oxygen flowing into a region of interest and the oxygen flowing out. Such modeling adds a layer of complexity to estimating and raises concerns about the accuracy of the estimates due to the assumptions and limitations of the experimental methods and models used. Several methods exist to measure in humans and in small animals. The leading method for measuring in humans is positron emission tomography (PET) using -labeled oxygen and water to estimate oxygen uptake and cerebral blood flow (CBF), respectively.2,3 Another method gaining popularity in human studies is the “calibrated” blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) approach.4–7 This method combines BOLD fMRI with arterial spin labeling methods and includes an additional calibration step (e.g., measuring local CBF and BOLD responses to mild hypercapnia).1 Near-infrared spectroscopy measurement of cerebral blood oxygenation is used in combination with blood flow measurements to assess in both adults and neonates.8,9 Finally, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) based on and can be used in humans to assess metabolic parameters tightly coupled with , such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle rate and cerebral metabolic rate of adenosine triphosphate (), respectively.10,11 In animals, is also often estimated using a combination of measurements of blood oxygenation and flow. PET and fMRI techniques were appropriately modified to allow high spatial resolution measurements of (e.g., for microPET12 and voxel size of several for MRI13,14). In addition, MRS can be used to assess directly based on with a few millimeters spatial resolution.15,16 Optical imaging methods offer numerous choices to measure in animals by combining blood oxygenation and flow measurements. Blood oxygenation can be assessed by spectroscopic optical imaging of hemoglobin saturation by using intrinsic signals,17–20 visible optical coherence tomography (OCT),21,22 photoacoustic imaging (PAI),23,24 or phosphorescence lifetime imaging.25–28 CBF can be obtained by laser Doppler or speckle contrast imaging,19,29 OCT,30,31 or PAI.23,24 Due to the complex cortical microvascular morphology (i.e., no single vascular input and output in the cortex), in cases where CBF and oxygenation were measured in individual vessels, both parameters must be acquired over a large field of view ( or larger) in order to estimate . By assuming the cortical thickness and that no vessels assessed on the cortical surface supply subcortical regions, the estimated represents an average over the entire cortical depth and field of view. Here, we present a high-spatial-resolution and more direct method for estimating that relies on a single experimentally obtained parameter—the partial pressure of oxygen () in tissue in the immediate vicinity () of penetrating cortical arterioles. Earlier attempts to measure by directly fitting the solution of Poisson’s equation to around vessels were limited by the inability to measure tissue at depth with adequate sensitivity and resolution.32 This limitation was recently overcome by the development of 2PLM of that allows measurements of both intravascular and interstitial (tissue) cortical in vivo with high spatial and temporal resolution.33–42 Here, we estimated by applying the Krogh cylinder model43 to periarteriolar tissue around penetrating arterioles and fitting the experimentally determined distributions of tissue to the Krogh–Erlang solution. Our method provides measurements localized within , which is defined by the tissue area where distributions are measured, and it can be easily combined with other optical microscopy tools for preclinical studies of cerebral function and metabolism. 2.Methods2.1.Animal PreparationSprague Dawley rats (250 to 320 g) were anesthetized with isoflurane (1.5% to 2% in a mixture of and air), temperature controlled, tracheotomized, and catheters were inserted in the femoral artery and vein for administering the anesthesia and dyes, and for measuring blood gases, pH, and blood pressure. We created a cranial window in the center of the parietal bone with the dura removed. Before sealing the window, we pressure-injected of PtP-C343 () below the surface of the brain using a glass micropipette. The imaging was performed a few hundred microns from the injection site. Slow diffusion of the probe in the bulk-loaded brain tissue allows imaging of for several hours following the injection. During the measurements, we ventilated rats with a mixture of air and oxygen adjusting the fraction of the inspired oxygen ( to 24%) to maintain systemic arterial at 95 to 110 mmHg. Isoflurane was discontinued and anesthesia maintained with a intravenous bolus of alpha-chloralose followed by continuous intravenous infusion at . The systemic arterial blood was 35 to 44 mmHg and pH was 7.35 to 7.42. All experimental procedures were approved by the Massachusetts General Hospital Sub-Committee on Research Animal Care. 2.2.Experimental ProtocolTwo-photon in vivo brain imaging was performed by using our previously described custom-built microscope, controlled by the custom-designed software.34,44 The optical beam was scanned in the plane by galvanometer scanners and focused on the sample by an objective (Olympus 20X XLumPlanFL; ). A motorized stage controlled the focal position along the vertical axis (), and an electro-optic modulator served to gate the output of the high-repetition rate pulsed laser (Mai Tai, Spectra Physics). We excited PtP-C343 phosphorescence by -long trains of femtosecond pulses at 840 nm, followed by a -long phosphorescence collection period. The emission was detected by two of the four photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in our detector array. The phosphorescence output was detected by a photon-counting PMT module (H10770PA-50, Hamamatsu). In a typical experiment, we performed phosphorescence detection in two steps. First, we raster scanned the excitation beam over the field of view, rendering two-dimensional survey maps of the integrated emission intensity. After mapping the distribution of intensity, we averaged 500 to 2000 phosphorescence decays in selected point locations in the tissue for accurate determination. This acquisition time corresponded to a temporal resolution of 0.16 to 0.76 s per single-point measurement. data were typically collected in a grid pattern spanning and consisting of points, which, together with the survey mapping and selection of the grid points, took 2 to 5 min to collect. Finally, we converted phosphorescence lifetimes into values by using Stern–Volmer calibration plots.33 Structural images of the cortical vasculature were obtained by imaging the blood plasma labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran. We collected images of the vasculature at the imaging planes immediately before or after imaging. These images were coregistered with the data and used to define blood vessel boundaries. We also collected a three-dimensional vascular angiogram at the end of each experiment. 2.3.Data ProcessingWe assumed that oxygen diffusion from a penetrating arteriole can be approximated by the Krogh cylinder model of oxygen diffusion from a vessel.43 In the Krogh cylinder model [Fig. 1(a)], a vessel with cylindrical shape and radius supplies a tissue cylinder with radius . We also assumed that oxygen consumption (), tissue oxygen diffusivity (), and solubility () constants are spatially homogeneous and temporally invariant. If is isotropic and all important microvascular oxygen transport phenomena are steady state, the oxygen diffusion in a tissue satisfies Poisson’s equation: where is the Laplace operator and is the oxygen partial pressure at location , respectively. By assuming that (1) axial oxygen diffusion is insignificant, (2) at the tissue cylinder boundary , and (3) in tissue at the arteriolar wall [] is labeled , the solution of Eq. (1) can be expressed as a well-known Krogh–Erlang formula describing oxygen diffusion from a cylinder:43 with a difference that in Eq. (2) we consider a tissue cylinder around the penetrating cortical arteriole instead of the originally considered tissue cylinder around a capillary.In our experiments, was estimated from the vascular anatomical images obtained by two-photon microscopy of FITC-labeled blood plasma. We assumed the tissue oxygen permeability to be equal to the oxygen permeability of water (; ).45 Periarteriolar tissue measurements were coregistered with the vascular anatomical images. The radial distance from the center of the penetrating arteriole was estimated for each measured tissue point. Equation (2) was fit for , , and . Nonlinear least squares fitting was performed by the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm. Since the Krogh cylinder model does not include tissue regions beyond radius , in each iterative step of the fitting procedure, the sum of the squares of residuals was calculated only for the measured points up to a radial distance of . All the data processing procedures were custom-written in MATLAB (MathWorks Inc.). 3.ResultsThe cortical vasculature consists of a planar mesh of pial arteries and veins at the cortical surface that dive into the cortex supplying a complex microvascular network and draining the blood back to the surface. Figure 1(b) shows a typical cortical vascular anatomical image of the rat cortex. Vascular images, such as in Fig. 1(b), reveal that periarteriolar tissue around penetrating arterioles is largely devoid of capillaries, whereas the tissue away from penetrating arterioles exhibits high capillary density. One possible explanation for this morphological feature could be that the periarteriolar region is characterized by reduced cell density, and thus, it does not need as much oxygen as other tissue regions. However, published data on the density of neurons and astrocytes in cerebral cortex demonstrate the absence of anatomical differences between periarteriolar spaces and other cortical regions.46 Therefore, a more likely explanation is that highly oxygenated blood from cortical penetrating arterioles efficiently supplies large periarteriolar tissue territories, and formation of capillaries near the arterioles is simply not required. Figure 1(c) shows an example map of cortical tissue oxygen concentration, where large gradients originating from the diving arteriole are dominating the tissue landscape. The central part of Fig. 1(c) shows a typical radially symmetrical profile of periarteriolar tissue in a plane parallel with the cortical surface (e.g., perpendicular to the propagation axis of the penetrating arteriole). To obtain data for the fitting, we typically imaged tissue over a grid spanning and selected a subset of the data within an arc around the arteriole with the most uniform and steepest descent. Figure 2 shows four individual examples, where was estimated based on periarteriolar tissue profiles from the upper 100 to of cortex in four different subjects. The estimated mean was , where individual measurements varied between and (Table 1), in agreement with the previously measured in rats under a similar anesthesia regime.47 The estimated Krogh cylinder tissue radius varied between 70.4 and , in agreement with the measured distances of the closest capillaries to the penetrating arteriole (Table 1). Table 1Estimated Krogh cylinder parameters.
Figure 3 illustrates the likely influence of physiological and morphological parameters, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and microvascular configuration upon cerebral and estimation of . Two measurements were performed along the same penetrating arteriole in rat II (Fig. 2) at two imaging depths (150 and below the cortical surface). The data at the two depths were collected 30 min apart. The result indicates a significant increase in the baseline tissue in the second measurement in comparison with the first measurement. This is likely due to an increase in blood flow, since no noticeable change in was previously observed in penetrating arterioles of similar caliber over the difference in depth of only .41,42 The variation of the baseline tissue and change in microvascular configuration at different depths may influence the fitting procedure. However, we anticipated that should not exhibit significant changes within a cortical layer. In agreement with this expectation, the estimated at these two depths was found to be the same (; Table 2). Table 2Estimated Krogh cylinder parameters at different depths and baseline tissue PO2.
To experimentally manipulate , we modulated the level of anesthesia in rat IV (Fig. 2) by applying isoflurane (2%) on top of the ongoing alpha-chloralose anesthesia. Adding isoflurane resulted in a decrease in both blood pressure and heart rate (from 100 to 76 mmHg and from 8 to 6.5 Hz, respectively) and an increase in tissue . The increase in is expected if neuronal activity and the associated decrease under deeper anesthesia. Isoflurane is also a vasodilator that increases blood perfusion, which further reduces oxygen extraction fraction and increases tissue .48 Figure 4 shows the comparison of estimated at the same imaging location ( deep) between the two anesthesia regimes. As expected, deeper anesthesia caused an increase in the baseline tissue [Fig. 4(c)]. The dependence on the radial distance from the arteriole was markedly less steep with the addition of isoflurane [Fig. 4(c)]. The measured decreased from (alpha-chloralose only) to (combined alpha-chloralose and isoflurane) (Table 3). The difference was not significant mostly due to the uncertainty in fitting the tissue radius . However, when was treated as a fixed parameter in the estimation, which is likely to be appropriate here, considering that we are comparing measurements at the same location, the error decreased to (Table 3). Table 3Estimated Krogh cylinder parameters at different anesthesia depths.
4.DiscussionOur study demonstrates that we can estimate using the Krogh cylinder model based on a single measurement modality—periarteriolar tissue measurement by two-photon microscopy in a single plane perpendicular to the vessel axis. With this method, no measurements of blood flow are required for the estimation. Using this method, we obtained a mean baseline of , within the error bounds of previously reported under similar anesthesia in rats measured by MRI ().47 Several properties of the cortical vascular and cellular architecture make this simple model based on the Krogh cylinder applicable. First, the large tissue gradients around cortical penetrating arterioles (Figs. 1 and 2) are readily detectable with two-photon microscopy of . Second, all oxygen consumed by the tissue adjacent to the penetrating arteriole is supplied by the arteriole. This is evident from (1) the large tissue gradients surrounding penetrating arterioles34,36,41,49–51 (Fig. 2) and (2) the absence of other oxygen sources (i.e., capillaries) in a 50 to radius around penetrating arterioles in rats [Fig. 1(b)] and also in mice.52 The oxygen delivery from penetrating arterioles is also consistent with observations of intravascular radial profiles in penetrating arterioles demonstrating a decrease from the vessel center to the arteriolar wall.41 Third, while at the cellular scale is likely heterogeneous, based on an approximate area around a penetrating arteriole likely represents an accurate average estimate for a particular cortical depth. This is implied from the uniform distribution of neural and glial cells within a cortical column ( in diameter in the rat primary somatosensory cortex),46 although this result does not necessarily guarantee that the density of synapses, which are the major contributors to the cortical oxygen consumption,53 is uniform as well. This also suggests that the spatial localization of our measurement is . We also note that the depth resolution of imaging in our experiments is .34 Fourth, the diameters of penetrating arterioles (15 to ) and their blood flow are sufficiently large so that the axial change in intravascular is small and thus, the influence of axial gradients is negligible.45,54 This is a requirement for the Krogh cylinder model, where a single cylindrical oxygen source supplies a homogeneous tissue cylinder.43 Here, we address several important aspects of our measurements, including differences from other reported measurements and potential sources of errors: (1) most of our measurements were obtained in the upper cortical layer (layer I, i.e., the top in the rat), which has a lower density of both neuronal cell bodies and synapses than most deeper cortical layers.55,56 Deeper cortical layers may exhibit higher .47 (2) The fit of Eq. (2) estimates . Therefore, the accuracy of our estimate depends on the accuracy of the assumed values for the tissue permeability to oxygen (e.g., ). Unfortunately, the literature does not provide clear guidance on the accurate values to use for and in the rat brain cortex. Measurements of have been typically preformed in muscle. In the hamster retractor muscle, Bentley et al.57 measured . The oxygen diffusion constant in water () that we applied in our calculations likely leads to an overestimation of , although oxygen diffusion in the brain cortex is probably faster than in the muscle due to a higher water content in the brain cortex.58,59 On the other hand, the oxygen solubility in water () that we applied in our calculations is lower than the reported solubility in the frog sartorius muscle (),60 and the solubility of oxygen in brain cortex may be even higher due to a higher lipid content. (3) The mean relative error of the estimates was 18%, with the relative error of individual measurements varying between 12% and 23% (Table 1). The largest contributor to the error of the fit is the uncertainty in the estimation. If we assume that oxygen flux through the arteriolar wall is , can be expressed by considering a simple mass balance of oxygen delivered to and consumed in the tissue cylinder as . If is constant, the relative error of is related to the relative error of as . Increasing the number of collected tissue points may be one possible approach to reduce this uncertainty. When performing the measurement on rat II (Fig. 2), we increased the number of acquired points by , which resulted in a significantly reduced relative error of both (4.5%) and (11.6%). This approach, however, leads to doubling the data acquisition time. Our current acquisition of points on a grid pattern leads to a nonuniform distribution of points as a function of the radial distance from the arteriole. It is possible that other acquisition patterns, such as a radial grid, may improve the fitting error without the need to increase the number of measurement points. Future work will also investigate the effect of periarteriolar microvascular configurations in realistic vascular anatomical networks (VANs) on the periarteriolar tissue distribution and estimation. The combined experimental and numerical modeling approach61 may be utilized to further investigate the effect of nearby capillary and arteriolar vascular segments on the axial symmetry and radial extent of the periarteriolar tissue profiles, including potential changes of the tissue territories supplied by these vessels at different and CBF levels.41 The influence of the deviations of the measurement plane from a plane perpendicular to the arteriole on estimating may also require further attention. Finally, the fitting error is significantly lower if we fix in the fitting procedure (Fig. 4). We believe that this approach may be appropriate when comparing changes at the same location. Advances in the development of contrast agents for multiphoton imaging of and multiphoton imaging instrumentation may bring significant improvements and opportunities for measurements based on tissue maps. Significantly brighter and red-shifted -sensitive dyes62 should allow faster, more accurate, and deeper tissue imaging in the brain cortex relative to our current imaging depth limited primarily by the contamination of the deep signals with the out-of-focus phosphorescence. Faster and more accurate acquisition of tissue may significantly reduce both acquisition time and measurement error. It may potentially enable the possibility to estimate directly based on Eq. (1) both around penetrating arterioles and in a tissue away from them, providing smooth mapping of between capillaries. Currently, the complexity of the spatial distribution of the tissue around apparently randomly oriented cortical capillaries and the relatively small variation of the tissue around them are making it challenging to estimate based on Eq. (1) around capillaries. Alternatively, advanced modeling of oxygen advection and diffusion in realistic VANs may be utilized to estimate based on tissue imaging anywhere in the cortical tissue.32 In this approach, modeling may be further constrained by adding the blood flow and intravascular oxygenation measurements.63,64 5.ConclusionThe steady-state oxygen distribution in cortical tissue satisfies Poisson’s equation, exhibiting a simple dependence on [Eq. (1)]. We present a method of estimating based on Eq. (1) that utilizes two-photon microscopy imaging of cortical tissue and exploits the specific morphology of cortical penetrating arterioles and neighboring microvessels that allows us to model the periarteriolar tissue distribution with the Krogh cylinder model. This method depends on a single imaging parameter (e.g., periarteriolar tissue ), making it significantly less complex and potentially more accurate than existing measuring methods that rely on multimodal imaging of blood oxygenation and blood flow. In addition, the measurement is spatially localized to a small tissue area (), and it can be easily combined with other optical microscopy tools for preclinical studies in animals, providing approaches to address critical questions related to cortical pathological conditions and in understanding the fMRI signal.
