Detecting temporal and spatial effects of epithelial cancers with Raman spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Epithelial cancers, including those of the skin and cervix, are the most common type of cancers in humans. Many recent studies have attempted to use Raman spectroscopy to diagnose these cancers. In this paper, Raman spectral markers related to the temporal and spatial effects of cervical and skin cancers are examined through four separate but related studies. Results from a clinical cervix study show that previous disease has a significant effect on the Raman signatures of the cervix, which allow for near 100% classification for discriminating previous disease versus a true normal. A Raman microspectroscopy study showed that Raman can detect changes due to adjacent regions of dysplasia or HPV that cannot be detected histologically, while a clinical skin study showed that Raman spectra may be detecting malignancy associated changes in tissues surrounding nonmelanoma skin cancers. Finally, results of an organotypic raft culture study provided support for both the skin and the in vitro cervix results. These studies add to the growing body of evidence that optical spectroscopy, in this case Raman spectral markers, can be used to detect subtle temporal and spatial effects in tissue near cancerous sites that go otherwise undetected by conventional histology.

Plasmonic Electronic Raman Scattering as Internal Standard for Spatial and Temporal Calibration in Quantitative Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Project description:Ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) still faces difficulties in quantitative analysis because of its susceptibility to local optical field variations at plasmonic hotspots in metallo-dielectric nanostructures. Current SERS calibration approaches using Raman tags have inherent limitations due to spatial occupation competition with analyte molecules, spectral interference with analyte Raman peaks, and photodegradation. Herein, we report that plasmon-enhanced electronic Raman scattering (ERS) signals from metal can serve as an internal standard for spatial and temporal calibration of molecular Raman scattering (MRS) signals from analyte molecules at the same hotspots, enabling rigorous quantitative SERS analysis. We observe a linear dependence between ERS and MRS signal intensities upon spatial and temporal variations of excitation optical fields, manifesting the |E|4 enhancements for both ERS and MRS processes at the same hotspots in agreement with our theoretical prediction. Furthermore, we find that the ERS calibration's performance limit can result from orientation variations of analyte molecules at hotspots.

Detecting polystyrene nanoplastics using filter paper-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Project description:This work presents a novel filter paper-based method using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), for detecting polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs). The SERS system used a simple mixture of spherical Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 20 nm nanoplastics deposited onto a filter paper which offered a detection limit of 10 μg mL-1 with a sample volume of 50 μL, and in a rare case 5.0 μg mL-1 (with four aliquits of 50 μL).

Spatial tracking of individual fluid dispersed particles via Raman spectroscopy.

Project description:We demonstrate a method for the spatial tracking of individual particles, dispersed in a fluid host, via Raman spectroscopy. The effect of moving a particle upon the intensity of different bands within its Raman spectrum is first established computationally through a scattering matrix method. By comparing an experimental spectrum to the computational analysis, we show that the position of the particle can be obtained. We apply this method to the specific cases of molybdenum disulfide and graphene oxide particles, dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal, and contained within a microfluidic channel. By considering the ratio and difference between the intensities of the two Raman bands of molybdenum disulfide and graphene oxide, we demonstrate that an accurate position can be obtained in two dimensions.

Raman micro-spectroscopy for accurate identification of primary human bronchial epithelial cells.

Project description:Live cell Raman micro-spectroscopy is emerging as a promising bioanalytical technique for label-free discrimination of a range of different cell types (e.g. cancer cells and fibroblasts) and behaviors (e.g. apoptosis). The aim of this study was to determine whether confocal Raman micro-spectroscopy shows sufficient sensitivity and specificity for identification of primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) to be used for live cell biological studies in vitro. We first compared cell preparation substrates and media, considering their influence on lung cell proliferation and Raman spectra, as well as methods for data acquisition, using different wavelengths (488?nm, 785?nm) and scan protocols (line, area). Evaluating these parameters using human lung cancer (A549) and fibroblast (MRC5) cell lines confirmed that line-scan data acquisition at 785?nm using complete cell media on a quartz substrate gave optimal performance. We then applied our protocol to acquisition of data from primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) derived from three independent sources, revealing an average sensitivity for different cell types of 96.3% and specificity of 95.2%. These results suggest that Raman micro-spectroscopy is suitable for delineating primary HBEC cell cultures, which in future could be used for identifying different lung cell types within co-cultures and studying the process of early carcinogenesis in lung cell culture.

Spatial-Tunable Au Nanoparticle Functionalized Si Nanorods Arrays for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Project description:In this study, hexagonal-packed Si nanorods (SiNRs) arrays were fabricated and conjugated with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) in different spatial distributions for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The AuNPs were functionalized on the bottom of SiNRs (B-SiNRs@AuNPs), top of SiNRs (T-SiNRs@AuNPs) and sides of SiNRs (S-SiNRs@AuNPs), respectively. Our results demonstrated that the SiNRs conjugated with AuNPs on the sides achieved high reproducibility in detection of R6G molecules, while the AuNPs on the top of the SiNRs obtained the strongest Raman enhancement. In addition, the substrate with S-SiNRs@AuNPs obtained the highest spatial uniformity of enhancement. The finite-difference time-domain simulation gave further evidence that the incident light could be confined in the space of SiNRs arrays and yield a zero-gap enhancement coupled with the AuNPs. Our study provided a spatially tunable SiNRs@AuNPs substrate with high sensitivity and reproducibility in molecular detection.

Raman spectroscopy and colorectal cancer

Project description:Background and study aims Bowel cancer is one of the commonest cancers worldwide. Earlier detection causes better outcomes for patients and longer survival. Symptoms of bowel cancer are non-specific and are shared by harmless bowel disorders. It is a challenge for doctors in general practice to diagnose bowel cancer and many symptomatic patients are sent to hospital for tests to rule it out. This is normally a colonoscopy, which is expensive, uncomfortable and can be harmful. The current approach to diagnosis causes great anxiety in patients waiting for these tests and is not a prudent approach to diagnosis. To allow earlier diagnosis by GPs we have studied whether a newly designed blood test taken in primary care is accurate and effective in patients with bowel symptoms that could be linked with cancer. This would benefit a large number of patients who are concerned about their bowel symptoms without the need for referral to hospital. It could also lead to diagnosis of bowel cancer at an earlier stage improving survival in the longer term. The aim of this study is to use a newly developed blood test for bowel cancer in primary care to achieve an earlier diagnosis. This would allow more timely appropriate treatment both for patients diagnosed with bowel cancer and those who are cancer free. Who can participate? Adults aged 50 years and older who have symptoms of bowel cancer. What does the study involve? Participants are randomly allocated to one of two groups. Those in the first group have their Raman spectroscopy blood test done immediately and those in the second grou have their sample tested after they’ve had a diagnosis. The amount of participants who are referred on the USC pathway from each group are assessed after 12 months.

Effect of electric field gradient on sub-nanometer spatial resolution of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Project description:Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) with sub-nanometer spatial resolution has been recently demonstrated experimentally. However, the physical mechanism underlying is still under discussion. Here we theoretically investigate the electric field gradient of a coupled tip-substrate system. Our calculations suggest that the ultra-high spatial resolution of TERS can be partially attributed to the electric field gradient effect owning to its tighter spatial confinement and sensitivity to the infrared (IR)-active of molecules. Particularly, in the case of TERS of flat-lying H₂TBPP molecules,we find the electric field gradient enhancement is the dominating factor for the high spatial resolution, which qualitatively coincides with previous experimental report. Our theoretical study offers a new paradigm for understanding the mechanisms of the ultra-high spatial resolution demonstrated in tip-enhanced spectroscopy which is of importance but neglected.

Detecting virus-specific effects on post-infection temporal gene expression.

Project description:BackgroundDifferent types of viruses have different envelope proteins, and may have their shared or distinctive host-virus interactions which result in various post-infection effects in humans and animals. These effects often do not appear at once but take time to unfold. To characterize the virus-specific effects, we applied a Multivariate Polynomial Time-dependent Genetic Association (MPTGA) method, previously proposed for detecting differences in temporal gene expression traits, to test for the differences in mouse lung transcriptome response to infection of different subtypes of influenza A viruses.ResultsWe compared two methods: the Multivariate Polynomial Time-dependent Genetic Association (MPTGA) method, and the conventional modified t-test, to study the virus-specific effects on mouse lung gene expression. Both methods found H3N2 to be the most different virus among the three viruses tested, with the largest number of genes with H3N2-specific effects. However, the MPTGA method demonstrated much higher power of detection, and the detected genes with virus-specific effects showed better biological relevance.ConclusionsTranscriptome response to virus infection is dynamic. MPTGA which leverages temporal gene expression traits showed increased power in detecting biologically relevant virus-specific effects comparing with conventional t-test method.
