Résumé

The proper formation of the vertebrate embryonic heart relies on various mechanical forces which determine its form and function. Measuring these forces at the microscale of the embryo is a challenge. We propose a new tool utilizing high-resolution optical elastography and stiffness measurements of surrounding tissues to non-invasively track the changes in the pressure exerted by the heart on the neighboring yolk, as well as changes in contractile patterns during early cardiac growth in-vivo, using the zebrafish embryo as a model system. Cardiac development was characterized every three hours from 24 hours post-fertilization (hpf) to 30 hpf and compared between wildtype fish and those treated with MS-222, a commonly used fish anesthetic that decreases cardiac contractility. Wildtype embryos from 24 to 30 hpf showed an average yolk indentation pressure of 0.32 mmHg to 0.41 mmHg, respectively. MS-222 treated embryos showed an average yolk indentation pressure of 0.22 mmHg to 0.29 mmHg. Yolk indentation pressure between control and treated embryos at 24 hpf and 30 hpf showed a significant difference (p < 0.05). Our method allowed for contractility and pressure evaluation at these early developmental stages, which have not been previously reported in published literature, regardless of sample or imaging modality. This research could lead to a better understanding of heart development and improved diagnostic tools for congenital heart disease.
