Label-free Raman imaging for screening of anti-inflammatory function food.

ABSTRACT: Natural bioactive compounds and plant constituents are considered to have a positive anti-inflammatory effect. This study aimed to establish a screening technique for anti-inflammatory function in foods based on label-free Raman imaging. A visible anti-inflammatory analysis method based on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) was established with an LPS-induced RAW264.7 cell model. Dynamic changes in proteins and lipids were determined at laser pump light wavelengths of 2956 cm^-1 and 2856 cm^-1, respectively. The method was applied to a plant-based formula (JC) with anti-inflammatory activity. Q-TOF-MS and HPLC analyses revealed the main active constituents of JC as quercetin, kaempferol, l-glutamine, and sodium copper chlorophyllin. In in vitro and in vivo verification experiments, JC showed significant anti-inflammatory activity by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. In conclusion, this study successfully established a label-free and visible method for screening anti-inflammatory constituents in plant-based food products, which will facilitate the evaluation of functional foods.

Project description:Although not yet ready for clinical application, methods based on Raman spectroscopy have shown significant potential in identifying, characterizing, and discriminating between noncancerous and cancerous specimens. Real-time and accurate medical diagnosis achievable through this vibrational optical method largely benefits from improvements in current technological and software capabilities. Not only is the acquisition of spectral information now possible in milliseconds and analysis of hundreds of thousands of data points achieved in minutes, but Raman spectroscopy also allows simultaneous detection and monitoring of several biological components. Besides demonstrating a significant Raman signature distinction between nontumorigenic (MCF-10A) and tumorigenic (MCF-7) breast epithelial cells, our study demonstrates that Raman can be used as a label-free method to evaluate epidermal growth factor activity in tumor cells. Comparative Raman profiles and images of specimens in the presence or absence of epidermal growth factor show important differences in regions attributed to lipid, protein, and nucleic acid vibrations. The occurrence, which is dependent on the presence of epidermal growth factor, of new Raman features associated with the appearance of phosphothreonine and phosphoserine residues reflects a signal transduction from the membrane to the nucleus, with concomitant modification of DNA/RNA structural characteristics. Parallel Western blotting analysis reveals an epidermal growth factor induction of phosphorylated Akt protein, corroborating the Raman results. The analysis presented in this work is an important step toward Raman-based evaluation of biological activity of epidermal growth factor receptors on the surfaces of breast cancer cells. With the ultimate future goal of clinically implementing Raman-guided techniques for the diagnosis of breast tumors (e.g., with regard to specific receptor activity), the current results just lay the foundation for further label-free optical tools to diagnose the disease.
