Boorman D, Pope I, Masia F, Watson P, Borri P, Langbein W. Quantification of the nonlinear susceptibility of the hydrogen and deuterium stretch vibration for biomolecules in coherent Raman micro-spectroscopy. JOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY : JRS 2021; 52:1540-1551. [PMID: 36339900 PMCID: PMC9627839 DOI: 10.1002/jrs.6164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 04/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Deuterium labelling is increasingly used in coherent Raman imaging of complex systems, such as biological cells and tissues, to improve chemical specificity. Nevertheless, quantitative coherent Raman susceptibility spectra for deuterated compounds have not been previously reported. Interestingly, it is expected theoretically that -D stretch vibrations have a Raman susceptibility lower than -H stretch vibrations, with the area of their imaginary part scaling with their wavenumber, which is shifted from around 2900 cm-1 for C-H into the silent region around 2100 cm-1 for C-D. Here, we report quantitative measurements of the nonlinear susceptibility of water, succinic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and deuterated isoforms. We show that the -D stretch vibration has indeed a lower area, consistent with the frequency reduction due to the doubling of atomic mass from hydrogen to deuterium. This finding elucidates an important trade-off between chemical specificity and signal strength in the adoption of deuterium labelling as an imaging strategy for coherent Raman microscopy.

Abstract
We used two-dimensional IR bioimaging to study the structural heterogeneity of formalin-fixed mouse pancreas. Images were generated from the hyperspectral data sets by plotting quantities associated with the amide I vibrational mode, which is created by the backbone carbonyl stretch. Images that measure the fundamental vibrational frequencies, cross peaks, and anharmonic shifts are presented. Histograms are generated for each quantity, providing averaged values and distributions around the mean that serve as metrics for protein structures. Images were generated from tissue that had been stored in a formalin fixation for 3, 8, and 48 weeks. Over this period, all three metrics show that that the β-sheet content of the samples increased, consistent with protein aggregation. Our results indicate that formalin fixation does not entirely arrest the degradation of a protein structure in pancreas tissue.

Abstract
Although Raman spectroscopy has been used for the quantitative analysis of samples in many fields, including material science, biomedical, and pharmaceutical research, its low sensitivity hindered the application of the analytical capability for high-throughput screening. Here, we developed a high-throughput Raman screening system that can analyze hundreds of specimens in a multiwell plate simultaneously. Multiple high numerical aperture (NA) lenses are assembled under each well in the multiwell plate to detect Raman scattering simultaneously with high sensitivity. The Raman spectrum of 192 samples loaded on a standard 384-well plate can be analyzed simultaneously. With the developed system, the throughput of Raman measurement was significantly improved (about 100 times) compared to conventional Raman instruments based on a single-point measurement. By using the developed system, we demonstrated high-throughput Raman screening to investigate drug polymorphism and identify a small-molecule binding site in a protein. Furthermore, the same system was used to demonstrate high-speed chemical mapping of a centimeter-sized pork slice.

Abstract

Molecular imaging
techniques are essential tools for better investigating
biological processes and detecting disease biomarkers with improvement
of both diagnosis and therapy monitoring. Often, a single imaging
technique is not sufficient to obtain comprehensive information at
different levels. Multimodal diagnostic probes are key tools to enable
imaging across multiple scales. The direct registration of in vivo imaging markers with ex vivo imaging
at the cellular level with a single probe is still challenging. Fluorinated
(19F) probes have been increasingly showing promising potentialities
for in vivo cell tracking by 19F-MRI.
Here we present the unique features of a bioorthogonal 19F-probe that enables direct signal correlation of MRI with Raman
imaging. In particular, we reveal the ability of PERFECTA, a superfluorinated
molecule, to exhibit a remarkable intense Raman signal distinct from
cell and tissue fingerprints. Therefore, PERFECTA combines in a single
molecule excellent characteristics for both macroscopic in
vivo19F-MRI, across the whole body, and microscopic
imaging at tissue and cellular levels by Raman imaging.

Abstract
Quantum dot (QD)-encoded microbeads as optical barcode with high fluorescence intensity and fluorescence uniformity, excellent stability and dispersity are greatly important for suspension array (SA). However, the size distribution of the microbeads mass-produced by the membrane emulsification method usually shows polydispersity, which leads to obstacles, imposing labour-intensive experimental iterations for the application of fluorescence-encoded microbeads as a distinguishable barcode. Herein, a simple simulation strategy based on a multicolor fluorescence model (MFM) was used to predict the influence of the microbeads' size distribution on the barcode signals. The point L and S respectively represent the two end points of the barcode, and the line segment LS can be considered as a cluster of the QD-encoded microbeads (simulated barcode). Experimental clusters of fluorescent microbeads were found to be in good agreement with the simulated barcodes. This simple simulation strategy can effectively simplify the experimental iteration process because the fluorescence-encoded microbeads are not decoded by a flow cytometer. Moreover, when applied for the high-throughput ultrasensitive detection of three tumor markers (CEA, CA125 and CA199) in a single sample, these barcodes exhibit superior detection performance. Detection limits of 0.028 ± 0.001 ng mL-1 for CEA, 1.5 ± 0.02 KU L-1 for CA125 and 0.8 ± 0.1 KU L-1 for CA199 are achieved, which meet the sensitivity criteria of tumor marker analysis. Therefore, this simple simulation strategy helps to overcome technical and economic obstacles for the widespread application of SA.

Abstract
Multiplexed optical imaging provides holistic visualization on a vast number of molecular targets, which has become increasingly essential for understanding complex biological processes and interactions. Vibrational microscopy has great potential owing to the sharp linewidth of vibrational spectra. In 2017, we demonstrated the coupling between electronic pre-resonant stimulated Raman scattering (epr-SRS) microscopy with a proposed library of 9-cyanopyronin-based dyes, named Manhattan Raman Scattering (MARS). Herein, we develop robust synthetic methodology to build MARS probes with different core atoms, expansion ring numbers, and stable isotope substitutions. We discover a predictive model to correlate their vibrational frequencies with structures, which guides rational design of MARS dyes with desirable Raman shifts. An expanded library of MARS probes with diverse functionalities is constructed. When coupled with epr-SRS microscopy, these MARS probes allow us to demonstrate not only many versatile labeling modalities but also increased multiplexing capacity. Hence, this work opens up next-generation vibrational imaging with greater utilities.

Abstract
To examine whether the expressions of 260 organelle crosstalk regulators (OCRGs) in 16 functional groups are modulated in 23 diseases and 28 tumors, we performed extensive -omics data mining analyses and made a set of significant findings: (1) the ratios of upregulated vs. downregulated OCRGs are 1:2.8 in acute inflammations, 1:1 in metabolic diseases, 1:1.2 in autoimmune diseases, and 1:3.8 in organ failures; (2) sepsis and trauma-upregulated OCRG groups such as vesicle, mitochondrial (MT) fission, and mitophagy but not others, are termed as the cell crisis-handling OCRGs. Similarly, sepsis and trauma plus organ failures upregulated seven OCRG groups including vesicle, MT fission, mitophagy, sarcoplasmic reticulum–MT, MT fusion, autophagosome–lysosome fusion, and autophagosome/endosome–lysosome fusion, classified as the cell failure-handling OCRGs; (3) suppression of autophagosome–lysosome fusion in endothelial and epithelial cells is required for viral replications, which classify this decreased group as the viral replication-suppressed OCRGs; (4) pro-atherogenic damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), oxidized-1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (oxPAPC), and interferons (IFNs) totally upregulated 33 OCRGs in endothelial cells (ECs) including vesicle, MT fission, mitophagy, MT fusion, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–MT contact, ER– plasma membrane (PM) junction, autophagosome/endosome–lysosome fusion, sarcoplasmic reticulum–MT, autophagosome–endosome/lysosome fusion, and ER–Golgi complex (GC) interaction as the 10 EC-activation/inflammation-promoting OCRG groups; (5) the expression of OCRGs is upregulated more than downregulated in regulatory T cells (Tregs) from the lymph nodes, spleen, peripheral blood, intestine, and brown adipose tissue in comparison with that of CD4+CD25− T effector controls; (6) toll-like receptors (TLRs), reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulator nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and inflammasome-activated regulator caspase-1 regulated the expressions of OCRGs in diseases, virus-infected cells, and pro-atherogenic DAMP-treated ECs; (7) OCRG expressions are significantly modulated in all the 28 cancer datasets, and the upregulated OCRGs are correlated with tumor immune infiltrates in some tumors; (8) tumor promoter factor IKK2 and tumor suppressor Tp53 significantly modulate the expressions of OCRGs. Our findings provide novel insights on the roles of upregulated OCRGs in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and cancers, and novel pathways for the future therapeutic interventions for inflammations, sepsis, trauma, organ failures, autoimmune diseases, metabolic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and cancers.

Abstract
Observing multiple molecular species simultaneously with high spatiotemporal resolution is crucial for comprehensive understanding of complex, dynamic, and heterogeneous biological systems. The recently reported super-multiplex optical imaging breaks the “color barrier” of fluorescence to achieve multiplexing number over six in living systems, while its temporal resolution is limited to several minutes mainly by slow color tuning. Herein, we report integrated stimulated Raman and fluorescence microscopy with simultaneous multimodal color tunability at high speed, enabling super-multiplex imaging covering diverse molecular contrasts with temporal resolution of seconds. We highlight this technique by demonstrating super-multiplex time-lapse imaging and image-based cytometry of live cells to investigate the dynamics and cellular heterogeneity of eight intracellular components simultaneously. Our technique provides a powerful tool to elucidate spatiotemporal organization and interactions in biological systems. Integrated SRS and fluorescence microscopy with fast tunability has been developed Eight-color live-cell imaging can be conducted with a temporal resolution of seconds Super-multiplex time-lapse imaging reveals complex organelle interactions Super-multiplex image-based cytometry accesses high-dimensional heterogeneity

Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy in combination with innovative tagging strategies offers great potential as a universal high-throughput biomedical imaging tool. Here, we report rationally tailored small molecular monomers containing triple-bond units with large Raman scattering cross-sections, which can be polymerized at the nanoscale for enhancement of SRS contrast with smaller but brighter optical nanotags with artificial fingerprint output. From this, a class of triple-bond rich polymer nanoparticles (NPs) was engineered by regulating the relative dosages of three chemically different triple-bond monomers in co-polymerization. The bonding strategy allowed for 15 spectrally distinguishable triple-bond combinations. These accurately structured nano molecular aggregates, rather than long-chain macromolecules, could establish a universal method for generating small-sized biological SRS imaging tags with high sensitivity for high-throughput multi-color biomedical imaging.

Abstract
Raman imaging using molecular reporters is a relatively new approach in subcellular investigations. It enables the visualization of organelles in cells with better selectivity and sensitivity compared to the label-free approach. Essentially Raman reporters possess in their structure an alkyne molecular group that can be selectively identified in the spectral region silent for biomolecules, hence facilitate the localization of individual organelles. The aim of this work is to visualize the main cell organelles in endothelial cells (HMEC-1) using established reporters (EdU and MitoBADY), but also to test a new one, namely falcarinol, which exhibits lipophilic properties. Moreover, we tested the possibility to use Raman reporters as a probe to detect changes in distribution of certain organelles after induced endothelial dysfunction (ED) in in vitro models. In both cases, induced ED is characterized by the formation of lipid droplets in the cells, which is why a good tool for the detection of lipid-rich organelles is so important in these studies. Two-dimensional Raman images were obtained, visualizing the distribution of selected organic compounds in the cell, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Additionally, the distribution of EdU, MitoBADY and falcarinol in endothelial cells (ECs) was determined. Moreover, we highlight some drawback of established Raman reporter and the need for testing them in various physiological state of the cell.

Abstract
The dopaminergic system is essential for the function of the brain in health and disease. Therefore, detailed studies focused on unraveling the mechanisms involved in dopaminergic signaling are required. However, the lack of probes that mimic dopamine in living tissues, owing to the neurotransmitter's small size, has hampered analysis of the dopaminergic system. The current study aimed to overcome this limitation by developing alkyne-tagged dopamine compounds (ATDAs) that have a minimally invasive and uniquely identifiable alkyne group as a tag. ATDAs were established as chemically and functionally similar to dopamine and readily detectable by methods such as specific click chemistry and Raman scattering. The ATDAs developed here were verified as analogue probes that mimic dopamine in neurons and brain tissues, allowing the detailed characterization of dopamine dynamics. Therefore, ATDAs can act as safe and versatile tools with wide applicability in detailed studies of the dopaminergic system. Furthermore, our results suggest that the alkyne-tagging approach can also be applied to other small-sized neurotransmitters to facilitate characterization of their dynamics in the brain.

Abstract
When analyzing biological phenomena and processes, multiplexed biodetection has many advantages over single-factor biodetection and is highly relevant to both human health issues and advancements in the life sciences. However, many key problems with current multiplexed biodetection strategies remain unresolved. Herein, the main issues are analyzed and summarized: 1) generating sufficient signal to label targets, 2) improving the signal-to-noise ratio to ensure total detection sensitivity, and 3) simplifying the detection process to reduce the time and labor costs of multiple target detection. Then, available solutions made possible by designing and controlling the properties of micro- and nanomaterials are introduced. The aim is to emphasize the role that micro-/nanomaterials can play in the improvement of multiplexed biodetection strategies. Through analyzing existing problems, introducing state-of-the-art developments regarding relevant materials, and discussing future directions of the field, it is hopeful to help promote necessary developments in multiplexed biodetection and associated scientific research.

Abstract
One of the biggest unsolved questions in neuroscience is how molecules and neuronal circuitry create behaviors, and how their misregulation or dysfunction results in neurological disease. Light microscopy is a vital tool for the study of neural molecules and circuits. However, the fundamental optical diffraction limit precludes the use of conventional light microscopy for sufficient characterization of critical signaling compartments and nanoscopic organizations of synapse-associated molecules. We have witnessed rapid development of super-resolution microscopy methods that circumvent the resolution limit by controlling the number of emitting molecules in specific imaging volumes and allow highly resolved imaging in the 10-100 nm range. Most recently, Expansion Microscopy (ExM) emerged as an alternative solution to overcome the diffraction limit by physically magnifying biological specimens, including nervous systems. Here, we discuss how ExM works in general and currently available ExM methods. We then review ExM imaging in a wide range of nervous systems, including Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, zebrafish, mouse, and human, and their applications to synaptic imaging, neuronal tracing, and the study of neurological disease. Finally, we provide our prospects for expansion microscopy as a powerful nanoscale imaging tool in the neurosciences.

Abstract
Abstract
Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) processes, including both the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering, have been utilized in state-of-the-art microscopy platforms for chemical imaging of biological samples. The key advantage of CRS microscopy over fluorescence microscopy is label-free, which is an attractive characteristic for modern biological and medical sciences. Besides, CRS has other advantages such as higher selectivity to metabolites, no photobleaching, and narrow peak width. These features have brought fast-growing attention to CRS microscopy in biological research. In this review article, we will first briefly introduce the history of CRS microscopy, and then explain the theoretical background of the CRS processes in detail using the classical approach. Next, we will cover major instrumentation techniques of CRS microscopy. Finally, we will enumerate examples of recent applications of CRS imaging in biological and medical sciences.

Abstract
Highly unsaturated π-rich carbon skeletons afford versatile tuning of structural and optoelectronic properties of low-dimensional carbon nanostructures. However, methods allowing more precise chemical identification and controllable integration of target sp-/sp2-carbon skeletons during synthesis are required. Here, using the coupling of terminal alkynes as a model system, we demonstrate a methodology to visualize and identify the generated π-skeletons at the single-chemical-bond level on the surface, thus enabling further precise bond control. The characteristic electronic features together with localized vibrational modes of the carbon skeletons are resolved in real space by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). Our approach allows single-chemical-bond understanding of unsaturated carbon skeletons, which is crucial for generating low-dimensional carbon nanostructures and nanomaterials with atomic precision.

Abstract
Single-cell multiparameter measurement has been increasingly recognized as a key technology toward systematic understandings of complex molecular and cellular functions in biological systems. Despite extensive efforts in analytical techniques, it is still generally challenging for existing methods to decipher a large number of phenotypes in a single living cell. Herein we devise a multiplexed Raman probe panel with sharp and mutually resolvable Raman peaks to simultaneously quantify cell surface proteins, endocytosis activities, and metabolic dynamics of an individual live cell. When coupling it to whole-cell spontaneous Raman micro-spectroscopy, we demonstrate the utility of this technique in 14-plexed live-cell profiling and phenotyping under various drug perturbations. In particular, single-cell multiparameter measurement enables powerful clustering, correlation, and network analysis with biological insights. This profiling platform is compatible with live-cell cytometry, of low instrument complexity and capable of highly multiplexed measurement in a robust and straightforward manner, thereby contributing a valuable tool for both basic single-cell biology and translation applications such as high-content cell sorting and drug discovery.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy is an optical imaging technique with capabilities that could benefit a broad range of biomedical research studies. AIM We reflect on the birth, rapid rise, and inescapable growing pains of the technique and look back on nearly four decades of developments to examine where the CRS imaging approach might be headed in the next decade to come. APPROACH We provide a brief historical account of CRS microscopy, followed by a discussion of the challenges to disseminate the technique to a larger audience. We then highlight recent progress in expanding the capabilities of the CRS microscope and assess its current appeal as a practical imaging tool. RESULTS New developments in Raman tagging have improved the specificity and sensitivity of the CRS technique. In addition, technical advances have led to CRS microscopes that can capture hyperspectral data cubes at practical acquisition times. These improvements have broadened the application space of the technique. CONCLUSION The technical performance of the CRS microscope has improved dramatically since its inception, but these advances have not yet translated into a substantial user base beyond a strong core of enthusiasts. Nonetheless, new developments are poised to move the unique capabilities of the technique into the hands of more users.

Abstract
Although suspension array technology (SAT), which uses encoded microspheres, provides high-quality results with versatile applicability for information-intensive bioanalytic applications, current encoding strategies limit the number of codes that can be distinguished. In this paper, we introduce density-encoded hydrogel microcarriers (DMs), which employ the intrinsic density property of biomaterials as a high-capacity coding dimension. Two hydrogel monomers were employed at different ratios to synthesize microgels with distinctive densities. DMs not only can be simultaneously decoded and separated using density gradient centrifugation, but also are compatible with flow cytometry detection. The size and color of DMs have been used as extra coding parameters, to construct an 8 × 2 × 4 (density × size × color) three-dimensionally encoded hydrogel microcarrier library. With aptamer-functionalized DMs (ADMs), we developed a 4-plex protein quantification method for the label-free detection of plasma biomarkers with sub-nanomolar detection limits and good linearities. Moreover, ADMs can be used for label-free naked-eye detection of tumor-derived exosomes. We believe that the simplicity and functionality of DMs will advance the field of suspension arrays and inspire the development of DM-based diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Raman scattering provides stable narrow-banded signals that potentially allow for multicolor microscopic imaging. The major obstacle for the applications of Raman spectroscopy and microscopy is the small cross section of Raman scattering that results in low sensitivity. Here, we report a new concept of azo-enhanced Raman scattering (AERS) by designing the intrinsic molecular structures using resonance Raman and concomitant fluorescence quenching strategies. Based on the selection of vibrational modes and the enhancing unit of azobenzenes, we obtained a library of AERS molecules with specific Raman signals in the fingerprint and silent frequency regions. The spectral characterization and molecular simulation revealed that the azobenzene unit conjugated to the vibrational modes significantly enhanced Raman signals due to the mechanism of extending the conjugation system, coupling the electronic-vibrational transitions, and improving the symmetry of vibrational modes. The nonradiative decay of azobenzene from the excited state quenched the commitment fluorescence, thus providing a clean background for identifying Raman scattering. The most sensitive AERS molecules produced Raman signals of more than 4 orders of magnitude compared to 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU). In addition, a frequency tunability of 10 distinct Raman bands was achieved by selecting different types of vibrational modes. This methodology of AERS allows for designing small-molecule Raman probes to visualize various entities in complex systems by multicolor spontaneous Raman imaging. It will open new prospects to explore innovative applications of AERS in interdisciplinary research fields.

Abstract
Photochromic probes with reversible fluorescence have revolutionized the fields of single molecule spectroscopy and super-resolution microscopy, but lack sufficient chemical specificity. In contrast, Raman probes with stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy provides superb chemical resolution for super-multiplexed imaging, but are relatively inert. Here we report vibrational photochromism by engineering alkyne tagged diarylethene to realize photo-switchable SRS imaging. The narrow Raman peak of the alkyne group shifts reversibly upon photoisomerization of the conjugated diarylethene when irradiated by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light, yielding “on” or “off” SRS images taken at the photoactive Raman frequency. We demonstrated photo-rewritable patterning and encryption on thin films, painting/erasing of cells with labelled alkyne-diarylethene, as well as pulse-chase experiments of mitochondria diffusion in living cells. The design principle provides potentials for super-resolution microscopy, optical memories and switches with vibrational specificity. Probes with reversible fluorescence are useful in super-resolution microscopy, but lack sufficient chemical specificity. Here, the authors engineer alkyne tagged diarylethene to realize photo-switchable stimulated Raman scattering probes with high chemical resolution, for applications in living cells.

Abstract
Phosphorescence is a process that slowly releases the photoexcitation energy after the removal of the excitation source. Although transition metal complexes and purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials show excellent phosphorescence property, their applications in in vitro and in vivo bioimaging are limited due to their poor solubility in water. To overcome this issue, phosphorescent materials are modified with amphiphilic or hydrophilic polymers to endow them with biocompatibility. This review focuses on recent advances in the development of phosphorescent probes for in vitro and in vivo bioimaging. The photophysical mechanism and the design principles of transition metal complexes and purely organic RTP materials for the stabilization of the triplet excited state for enhanced phosphorescence are first discussed. Then, the applications in in vitro and in vivo bioimaging using transition metal complexes including iridium(iii) complexes, platinum(ii) complexes, rhodium(i) complexes, and purely organic RTP materials are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives for these emerging materials in bioimaging are discussed.

Abstract
Flow cytometry is a powerful tool with applications in diverse fields such as microbiology, immunology, virology, cancer biology, stem cell biology, and metabolic engineering. It rapidly counts and characterizes large heterogeneous populations of cells in suspension (e.g., blood cells, stem cells, cancer cells, and microorganisms) and dissociated solid tissues (e.g., lymph nodes, spleen, and solid tumors) with typical throughputs of 1,000-100,000 events per second (eps). By measuring cell size, cell granularity, and the expression of cell surface and intracellular molecules, it provides systematic insights into biological processes. Flow cytometers may also include cell sorting capabilities to enable subsequent additional analysis of the sorted sample (e.g., electron microscopy and DNA/RNA sequencing), cloning, and directed evolution. Unfortunately, traditional flow cytometry has several critical limitations as it mainly relies on fluorescent labeling for cellular phenotyping, which is an indirect measure of intracellular molecules and surface antigens. Furthermore, it often requires time-consuming preparation protocols and is incompatible with cell therapy. To overcome these difficulties, a different type of flow cytometry based on direct measurements of intracellular molecules by Raman spectroscopy, or "Raman flow cytometry" for short, has emerged. Raman flow cytometry obtains a chemical fingerprint of the cell in a nondestructive manner, allowing for single-cell metabolic phenotyping. However, its slow signal acquisition due to the weak light-molecule interaction of spontaneous Raman scattering prevents the throughput necessary to interrogate large cell populations in reasonable time frames, resulting in throughputs of about 1 eps. The remedy to this throughput limit lies in coherent Raman scattering methods such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), which offer a significantly enhanced light-sample interaction and hence enable high-throughput Raman flow cytometry, Raman imaging flow cytometry, and even Raman image-activated cell sorting (RIACS). In this Account, we outline recent advances, technical challenges, and emerging opportunities of coherent Raman flow cytometry. First, we review the principles of various types of SRS and CARS and introduce several techniques of coherent Raman flow cytometry such as CARS, multiplex CARS, Fourier-transform CARS, SRS, SRS imaging flow cytometry, and RIACS. Next, we discuss a unique set of applications enabled by coherent Raman flow cytometry, from microbiology and lipid biology to cancer detection and cell therapy. Finally, we describe future opportunities and challenges of coherent Raman flow cytometry including increasing sensitivity and throughput, integration with droplet microfluidics, utilizing machine learning techniques, or achieving in vivo flow cytometry. This Account summarizes the growing field of high-throughput Raman flow cytometry and the bright future it can bring.

Abstract
Photoswitchable fluorescence is a powerful technique to realize super-resolution imaging, highlighting, and optical storage, while its multiplexing capability is limited. Raman scattering is attracting attention because it generates narrowband vibrational signatures, which are potentially useful for highly multiplexed detection of different constituents. Here, we demonstrate photoswitchable stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) spectroscopy and microscopy where narrowband vibrational signatures are switched with full reversibility at high speed. The demonstration of live-cell photoswitchable SRS imaging shows good sensitivity and compatibility with biological living systems.

Abstract
![]()
Multiple diseases are at some point associated with altered endothelial
function, and endothelial dysfunction (ED) contributes to their pathophysiology.
Biochemical changes of the dysfunctional endothelium are linked to
various cellular organelles, including the mitochondria, endoplasmic
reticulum, and nucleus, so organelle-specific insight is needed for
better understanding of endothelial pathobiology. Raman imaging, which
combines chemical specificity with microscopic resolution, has proved
to be useful in detecting biochemical changes in ED at the cellular
level. However, the detection of spectroscopic markers associated
with specific cell organelles, while desirable, cannot easily be achieved
by Raman imaging without labeling. This critical review summarizes
the current advances in Raman-based analysis of ED, with a focus on
a new approach involving molecular Raman reporters that could facilitate
the study of biochemical changes in cellular organelles. Finally,
imaging techniques based on both conventional spontaneous Raman scattering
and the emerging technique of stimulated Raman scattering are discussed.

Abstract
Sucrose is the main saccharide used for long-distance transport in plants and plays an essential role in energy metabolism; however, there are no analogues for real-time imaging in live cells. We have optimised a synthetic approach to prepare sucrose analogues including very small (≈50 Da or less) Raman tags in the fructose moiety. Spectroscopic analysis identified the alkyne-tagged compound 6 as a sucrose analogue recognised by endogenous transporters in live cells and with higher Raman intensity than other sucrose derivatives. Herein, we demonstrate the application of compound 6 as the first optical probe to visualise real-time uptake and intracellular localisation of sucrose in live plant cells using Raman microscopy.

Abstract
We report four new luminescent tetracationic bis-triarylborane DNA and RNA sensors that show high binding affinities, in several cases even in the nanomolar range. Three of the compounds contain substituted, highly emissive and structurally flexible bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl-4-ethynyl)arene linkers (3: arene=5,5'-2,2'-bithiophene; 4: arene=1,4-benzene; 5: arene=9,10-anthracene) between the two boryl moieties and serve as efficient dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores. The shorter analogue 6 employs 9,10-anthracene as the linker and demonstrates the importance of an adequate linker length with a certain level of flexibility by exhibiting generally lower binding affinities than 3-5. Pronounced aggregation-deaggregation processes are observed in fluorimetric titration experiments with DNA for compounds 3 and 5. Molecular modelling of complexes of 5 with AT-DNA, suggest the minor groove as the dominant binding site for monomeric 5, but demonstrate that dimers of 5 can also be accommodated. Strong SERS responses for 3-5 versus a very weak response for 6, particularly the strong signals from anthracene itself observed for 5 but not for 6, demonstrate the importance of triple bonds for strong Raman activity in molecules of this compound class. The energy of the characteristic stretching vibration of the C≡C bonds is significantly dependent on the aromatic moiety between the triple bonds. The insertion of aromatic moieties between two C≡C bonds thus offers an alternative design for dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores, applicable in multiplex biological Raman imaging.

Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has emerged in the last decade as a powerful optical imaging technology with high chemical selectivity, speed, and subcellular resolution. Since the invention of SRS microscopy, it has been extensively employed in life science to study composition, structure, metabolism, development, and disease in biological systems. Applications of SRS in research and the clinic have generated new insights in many fields including neurobiology, tumor biology, developmental biology, metabolomics, pharmacokinetics, and more. Herein we review the advances and applications of SRS microscopy imaging in tissues and animals, as well as envision future applications and development of SRS imaging in life science and medicine.

Abstract
Imaging the spatial distribution of biomolecules is at the core of modern biology. The development of fluorescence techniques has enabled researchers to investigate subcellular structures with nanometer precision. However, multiplexed imaging, i.e. observing complex biological networks and interactions, is mainly limited by the fundamental ‘spectral crowding’ of fluorescent materials. Raman spectroscopy-based methods, on the other hand, have a much greater spectral resolution, but often lack the required sensitivity for practical imaging of biomarkers. Addressing the pressing need for new Raman probes, herein we present a series of Raman-active nanoparticles (Rdots) that exhibit the combined advantages of ultra-brightness and compact sizes (~20 nm). When coupled with the emerging stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, these Rdots are brighter than previously reported Raman-active organic probes by two to three orders of magnitude. We further obtain evidence supporting for SRS imaging of Rdots at single particle level. The compact size and ultra-brightness of Rdots allows immunostaining of specific protein targets (including cytoskeleton and low-abundant surface proteins) in mammalian cells and tissue slices with high imaging contrast. These Rdots thus offer a promising tool for a large range of studies on complex biological networks. Raman-based imaging of biomarkers is often challenging due to low sensitivity. Here, the authors use a swelling-diffusion approach to develop a series of Raman probes that are both ultra-bright and compact in size, and demonstrate multiplexed imaging of specific protein targets in cells and tissue slices.

Abstract
Recent development of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows for label-free biological imaging with chemical specificity based on molecular-vibrational signatures. In particular, hyperspectral SRS imaging can acquire a molecular-vibrational spectrum at each pixel, allowing us not only to investigate the spectral difference of various biological molecules but also to discriminate different constituents based on their spectral difference. However, the number of constituents discriminated in previous label-free SRS imaging was limited to four because of the subtleness of spectral difference. Here, we report hyperspectral SRS imaging of plant tissues including leaves of Camellia japonica, roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, and thalli of a liverwort Marchantia polymorpha L. We show that SRS can discriminate as many as six components in Marchantia polymorpha L. without labeling. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of hyperspectral SRS imaging as a tool for label-free multicolour imaging analysis of various biomolecules in plant tissues.

Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is a nonlinear optical imaging method for visualizing chemical content based on molecular vibrational bonds. Featuring high speed, high resolution, high sensitivity, high accuracy, and 3D sectioning, SRS microscopy has made tremendous progress toward biochemical information acquisition, cellular function investigation, and label-free medical diagnosis in the biosciences. In this review, the principle of SRS, system design, and data analysis are introduced, and the current innovations of the SRS system are reviewed. In particular, combined with various bio-orthogonal Raman tags, the applications of SRS microscopy in cell metabolism, tumor diagnosis, neuroscience, drug tracking, and microbial detection are briefly examined. The future prospects for SRS microscopy are also shared.

Abstract
Droplet microfluidics has become an indispensable tool for biomedical research and lab-on-a-chip applications owing to its unprecedented throughput, precision, and cost-effectiveness. Although droplets can be generated and screened in a high-throughput manner, the inability to label the inordinate amounts of droplets hinders identifying the individual droplets after generation. Herein, we demonstrate an acoustofluidic platform that enables on-demand, real-time dispensing, and deterministic coding of droplets based on their volumes. By dynamically splitting the aqueous flow using an oil jet triggered by focused traveling surface acoustic waves, a sequence of droplets with deterministic volumes can be continuously dispensed at a throughput of 100 Hz. These sequences encode barcoding information through the combination of various droplet lengths. As a proof-of-concept, we encoded droplet sequences into end-to-end packages (e.g., a series of 50 droplets), which consisted of an address barcode with binary volumetric combinations and a sample package with consistent volumes for hosting analytes. This acoustofluidics-based, deterministic droplet coding technique enables the tagging of droplets with high capacity and high error-tolerance, and can potentially benefit various applications involving single cell phenotyping and multiplexed screening.

Abstract
Visualizing live-cell uptake of small-molecule drugs is paramount for drug development and pharmaceutical sciences. Bioorthogonal imaging with click chemistry has made significant contributions to the field, visualizing small molecules in cells. Furthermore, recent developments in Raman microscopy, including stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, have realized direct visualization of alkyne-tagged small-molecule drugs in live cells. However, Raman and SRS microscopy still suffer from limited detection sensitivity with low concentration molecules for observing temporal dynamics of drug uptake. Here, we demonstrate the combination of alkyne-tag and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) microscopy for the real-time monitoring of drug uptake in live cells. Gold nanoparticles are introduced into lysosomes of live cells by endocytosis and work as SERS probes. Raman signals of alkynes can be boosted by enhanced electric fields generated by plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles when alkyne-tagged small molecules are colocalized with the nanoparticles. With time-lapse 3D SERS imaging, this technique allows us to investigate drug uptake by live cells with different chemical and physical conditions. We also perform quantitative evaluation of the uptake speed at the single-cell level using digital SERS counting under different quantities of drug molecules and temperature conditions. Our results illustrate that alkyne-tag SERS microscopy has a potential to be an alternative bioorthogonal imaging technique to investigate temporal dynamics of small-molecule uptake of live cells for pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
Raman probes based on alkyne or nitrile tags hold promise for highly multiplexed imaging. However, sensing of enzyme activities with Raman probes is difficult because few mechanisms are available to modulate the vibrational response. Here we present a general strategy to prepare activatable Raman probes that show enhanced Raman signals due to electronic preresonance (EPR) upon reaction with enzymes under physiological conditions. We identified a xanthene derivative bearing a nitrile group at position 9 (9CN-JCP) as a suitable scaffold dye, and synthesized four types of activatable Raman probes, which are targeted to different enzymes (three aminopeptidases and a glycosidase) and tuned to different vibrational frequencies by isotope editing of the nitrile group. We validated the activation of the Raman signals of these probes by the target enzymes and succeeded in simultaneous imaging of the four enzyme activities in live cells. Different cell lines showed different patterns of these enzyme activities.

Abstract
Lipid membranes are found in most intracellular organelles, and their heterogeneities play an essential role in regulating the organelles' biochemical functionalities. Here we report a Spectrum and Polarization Optical Tomography (SPOT) technique to study the subcellular lipidomics in live cells. Simply using one dye that universally stains the lipid membranes, SPOT can simultaneously resolve the membrane morphology, polarity, and phase from the three optical-dimensions of intensity, spectrum, and polarization, respectively. These high-throughput optical properties reveal lipid heterogeneities of ten subcellular compartments, at different developmental stages, and even within the same organelle. Furthermore, we obtain real-time monitoring of the multi-organelle interactive activities of cell division and successfully reveal their sophisticated lipid dynamics during the plasma membrane separation, tunneling nanotubules formation, and mitochondrial cristae dissociation. This work suggests research frontiers in correlating single-cell super-resolution lipidomics with multiplexed imaging of organelle interactome.

Abstract
Organelles juxtaposition has been detected for decades, although only recently gained importance due to a pivotal role in the regulation of cellular processes dependent on membrane contact sites. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria interaction is a prime example of organelles contact sites. Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAM) are proposed to harbor ER-mitochondria tether complexes, mainly when these organelles are less than 30 nm apart. Dysfunctions of proteins located at the MAM are associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders; hence any malfunction in MAM can potentially trigger cell death. This review will focus on the role of ER-mitochondria contact sites, regarding calcium homeostasis, lipid metabolism, autophagy, morphology and dynamics of mitochondria, mainly in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. Approaches that have been employed so far to study organelles contact sites, as well as methods that were not used in neurosciences yet, but are promising and accurate ways to unveil the functions of MAM during neurodegeneration, is also discussed in the present review.

Abstract
Direct imaging of metabolism in cells or multicellular organisms is important for understanding many biological processes. Raman scattering (RS) microscopy, particularly, coherent Raman scattering (CRS) such as coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), has emerged as a powerful platform for cellular imaging due to its high chemical selectivity, sensitivity, and imaging speed. RS microscopy has been extensively used for the identification of subcellular structures, metabolic observation, and phenotypic characterization. Conjugating RS modalities with other techniques such as fluorescence or infrared (IR) spectroscopy, flow cytometry, and RNA-sequencing can further extend the applications of RS imaging in microbiology, system biology, neurology, tumor biology and more. Here we overview RS modalities and techniques for mammalian cell and tissue imaging, with a focus on the advances and applications of CARS and SRS microscopy, for a better understanding of the metabolism and dynamics of lipids, protein, glucose, and nucleic acids in mammalian cells and tissues. This article is categorized under: Laboratory Methods and Technologies > Imaging Biological Mechanisms > Metabolism Analytical and Computational Methods > Analytical Methods.

Abstract
A revolutionary avenue for vibrational imaging with super-multiplexing capability can be seen in the recent development of Raman-active bioortogonal tags or labels. These tags and isotopic labels represent groups of chemically inert and small modifications, which can be introduced to any biomolecule of interest and then supplied to single cells or entire organisms. Recent developments in the field of spontaneous Raman spectroscopy and stimulated Raman spectroscopy in combination with targeted imaging of biomolecules within living systems are the main focus of this review. After having introduced common strategies for bioorthogonal labeling, we present applications thereof for profiling of resistance patterns in bacterial cells, investigations of pharmaceutical drug-cell interactions in eukaryotic cells and cancer diagnosis in whole tissue samples. Ultimately, this approach proves to be a flexible and robust tool for in vivo imaging on several length scales and provides comparable information as fluorescence-based imaging without the need of bulky fluorescent tags.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has been used to observe uptake, metabolism and response of single-cells to drugs. Photodynamic therapy is based on the use of light, a photosensitiser and oxygen to destroy tumour tissue. Here, we used single-cell Raman spectroscopy to study the uptake and intracellular degradation of a novel photosensitiser with a diphenylacetylene structure, DC473, in live single-cells from colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines SW480, HT29 and SW620. DC473 was seen to predominantly accumulate in lipid droplets, showing higher accumulation in HT29 and SW620 cells than in SW480 cells, with a broader DC473 peak shifted to higher wavenumbers. DC473 activation and effects were tracked on live single-cells for 5 minutes. Upon exposure to UV light, the DC473 signal intensity dropped, with remaining DC473 shifting towards higher wavenumbers and widening, with a lifetime of approximately 50 seconds. Morphologically, SW480 and SW620 cells showed changes upon photodynamic therapy, whereas HT29 cells showed no changes. Morphological changes correlated with higher remaining DC473 signal after UV exposure. Our research suggests that DC473 forms aggregates within the cells that disaggregate following activation, showing the potential of Raman spectroscopy for the study of time-dependent single-cell pharmacodynamics.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue. In particular, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires urgent attention and early diagnosis. The use of point-of-care diagnostics has resulted in the improved management of cardiovascular disease, but a major drawback is that the performance of POC devices does not rival that of central laboratory tests. Recently, many studies and advances have been made in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), including the development of POC biosensors that utilize this detection method. Here, we present a review of the strengths and limitations of these emerging SERS-based biosensors for AMI diagnosis. The ability of SERS to multiplex sensing against existing POC detection methods are compared and discussed. Furthermore, SERS calibration-free methods that have recently been explored to minimize the inconvenience and eliminate the limitations caused by the limited linear range and interassay differences found in the calibration curves are outlined. In addition, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in SERS techniques to promote multivariate analysis and enhance diagnostic accuracy are discussed. The future prospects for SERS-based POC devices that include wearable POC SERS devices toward predictive, personalized medicine following the Fourth Industrial Revolution are proposed.

Abstract
Intracellular pH (pHi) homeostasis is intertwined with a myriad of normal cellular behaviors as well as pathological processes. As such, small molecule probes for the measurement of pHi are invaluable tools for chemical biology, facilitating the study of the role of pH in cellular function and disease. The field of small molecule pHi sensors has traditionally been dominated with probes based on fluorescent scaffolds. In this study, a series of low molecular weight (<260) oligoyne compounds have been developed which exhibit pH sensitive alkyne stretching frequencies (νalkyne) in Raman spectroscopy. The modular design of the compounds enabled tuneability of their pKa(H) through simple structural modification, such that continuous pH sensitivity is achieved over the range 2-10. Alkyne stretching bands reside in the 'cell-silent' region of the Raman spectrum (1800-2600 cm-1) and are readily detectable in a cellular environment with subcellular spatial resolution. This enabled the application of a pH sensitive oligoyne compound to the ratiometric sensing of pHi in prostate cancer (PC3) cells in response to drug treatment. We propose that probes based on Alkyne Tag Raman Imaging offer an entirely new platform for the sensing of pHi, complementary to fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
Antimicrobial stewardship practices are critical in preventing the further erosion of treatment options for bacterial infections. Yet, at the same time, determination of an infection's antimicrobial susceptibility requires multiple rounds of culture and expensive lab automation systems. In this work, we report the use of paper-based surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors and portable instrumentation to phenotypically discriminate multi-drug resistance with fewer culture steps than conventional clinical microbiology. Specifically, we demonstrate the identification of resistance to varying generations of β-lactam antibiotics by detecting the activity of particular β-lactamase enzymes in a multiplexed assay. The method utilizes molecular reporters that consist of β-lactams with SERS barcodes. Hydrolysis of the β-lactam by β-lactamase enzymes in the sample expels the barcode; the released sulfur-containing barcode is then detected via SERS. Using this approach, we demonstrate the differentiation of E. coli strains with (1) extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), (2) narrow-spectrum β-lactamase, and (3) no resistance, using only a single measurement on a single sample. In addition, we experimentally validate an approach to expand the library of reporters through the simple chemical synthesis of new barcoded β-lactams. Importantly, the reported method determines the susceptibility based on phenotypic β-lactamase activity, which is aligned with current microbiology lab standards. This new method will enable the precise selection of effective β-lactam antibiotics (as opposed to defaulting to drugs of last resort) faster than current methods while using simple steps and low-cost portable instrumentation.

Abstract
Visualizing intracellular fatty acids (including free and esterified form) is very useful for understanding how and where such molecules are incorporated, stored, and metabolized within cells. However, techniques of imaging multiple intracellular fatty acids have been limited by their small size, making it difficult to label and track without changing their biological and biophysical characteristics. Here, we present a new method for simultaneously visualizing up to five atomically labeled intracellular fatty acid species. For this, we utilized the distinctive Raman spectra depending on the labeling patterns and created a new, extensible opensource software to perform by-pixel analysis of extracting original spectra from mixed ones. Our multiplex imaging method revealed that fatty acids with more double bonds tend to concentrate more efficiently at lipid droplets. This novel approach contributes to reveal not only the spatial dynamics of fatty acids, but also of any other metabolites inside cells.

Abstract
A bis-triarylborane tetracation (4-Ar2 B-3,5-Me2 C6 H2 )-C≡C-C≡C-(3,5-Me2 C6 H2 -4-BAr2 [Ar=(2,6-Me2 -4-NMe3 -C6 H2 )+ ] (24+ ) shows distinctly different behaviour in its fluorimetric response than that of our recently published bis-triarylborane 5-(4-Ar2 B-3,5-Me2 C6 H2 )-2,2'-(C4 H2 S)2 -5'-(3,5-Me2 C6 H2 -4-BAr2 ) (34+ ). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data on the neutral bis-triarylborane precursor 2 N confirm its rod-like dumbbell structure, which is shown to be important for DNA/RNA targeting and also for BSA protein binding. Fluorimetric titrations with DNA/RNA/BSA revealed the very strong affinity of 24+ and indicated the importance of the properties of the linker connecting the two triarylboranes. Using the butadiyne rather than a bithiophene linker resulted in an opposite emission effect (quenching vs. enhancement), and 24+ bound to BSA 100 times stronger than 34+ . Moreover, 24+ interacted strongly with ss-RNA, and circular dichroism (CD) results suggest ss-RNA chain-wrapping around the rod-like bis-triarylborane dumbbell structure like a thread around a spindle, a very unusual mode of binding of ss-RNA with small molecules. Furthermore, 24+ yielded strong Raman/SERS signals, allowing DNA or protein detection at ca. 10 nm concentrations. The above observations, combined with low cytotoxicity, efficient human cell uptake and organelle-selective accumulation make such compounds intriguing novel lead structures for bio-oriented, dual fluorescence/Raman-based applications.

Abstract
Being able to image chemical bonds with high sensitivity and speed, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has made a major impact in biomedical optics. However, it is well known that the standard SRS microscopy suffers from various backgrounds, limiting the achievable contrast, quantification and sensitivity. While many frequency-modulation (FM) SRS schemes have been demonstrated to retrieve the sharp vibrational contrast, they often require customized laser systems and/or complicated laser pulse shaping or introduce additional noise, thereby hindering wide adoption. Herein we report a simple but robust strategy for FM-SRS microscopy based on a popular commercial laser system and regular optics. Harnessing self-phase modulation induced self-balanced spectral splitting of picosecond Stokes beam propagating in standard single-mode silica fibers, a high-performance FM-SRS system is constructed without introducing any additional signal noise. Our strategy enables adaptive spectral resolution for background-free SRS imaging of Raman modes with different linewidths. The generality of our method is demonstrated on a variety of Raman modes with effective suppressing of backgrounds including non-resonant cross phase modulation and electronic background from two-photon absorption or pump-probe process. As such, our method is promising to be adopted by the SRS microscopy community for background-free chemical imaging.

Encoding quantized fluorescence states with fractal DNA frameworks. Nat Commun 2020; 11:2185.

Abstract
Signal amplification in biological systems is achieved by cooperatively recruiting multiple copies of regulatory biomolecules. Nevertheless, the multiplexing capability of artificial fluorescent amplifiers is limited due to the size limit and lack of modularity. Here, we develop Cayley tree-like fractal DNA frameworks to topologically encode the fluorescence states for multiplexed detection of low-abundance targets. Taking advantage of the self-similar topology of Cayley tree, we use only 16 DNA strands to construct n-node (n = 53) structures of up to 5 megadalton. The high level of degeneracy allows encoding 36 colours with 7 nodes by site-specifically anchoring of distinct fluorophores onto a structure. The fractal topology minimises fluorescence crosstalk and allows quantitative decoding of quantized fluorescence states. We demonstrate a spectrum of rigid-yet-flexible super-multiplex structures for encoded fluorescence detection of single-molecule recognition events and multiplexed discrimination of living cells. Thus, the topological engineering approach enriches the toolbox for high-throughput cell imaging. Though DNA framework-based scaffolds for biomolecular assembly are attractive for bioimaging applications, realizing super-multiplex fluorescent amplifiers remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a topological engineering approach to designing fractal DNA frameworks for multiplexed amplifiers.
