Confocal Raman spectroscopy coupled with in vitro permeation testing to study the effects of formalin fixation on the skin barrier function of reconstructed human epidermis. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 320:124617. [PMID: 38870697 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Confocal Raman Spectroscopy is recognised as a potent tool for molecular characterisation of biological specimens. There is a growing demand for In Vitro Permeation Tests (IVPT) in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic areas, increasingly conducted using Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) skin models. In this study, chemical fixation of RHE in 10 % Neutral Buffered Formalin for 24 h has been examined for storing RHE samples at 4 °C for up to 21 days. Confocal Raman Spectroscopy (CRS), combined with Principal Components Analysis, revealed the molecular-level effects of fixation, notably in protein and lipid conformation within the stratum corneum and viable epidermis. IVPT by means of high-performance liquid chromatography, using caffeine as a model compound, showed minimal impact of formalin fixation on the cumulative amount, flux, and permeability coefficient after 12 h. While the biochemical architecture is altered, the function of the model as a barrier to maintain rate-limiting diffusion of active molecules within skin layers remains intact. This study opens avenues for enhanced flexibility and utility in skin model research, promising insights into mitigating the limited shelf life of RHE models by preserving performance in fixed samples for up to 21 days.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic anthracyclines, like doxorubicin (DOX), are drugs endowed with cytostatic activity and are widely used in antitumor therapy. Their molecular mechanism of action involves the formation of a stable anthracycline-DNA complex, which prevents cell division and results in cell death. It is known that elevated DOX concentrations induce DNA chain loops and overlaps. Here, for the first time, tip-enhanced Raman scattering was used to identify and localize intercalated DOX in isolated double-stranded calf thymus DNA, and the correlated near-field spectroscopic and morphologic experiments locate the DOX molecules in the DNA and provide further information regarding specific DOX-nucleobase interactions. Thus, the study provides a tool specifically for identifying intercalation markers and generally analyzing drug-DNA interactions. The structure of such complexes down to the molecular level provides mechanistic information about cytotoxicity and the development of potential anticancer drugs.

Synergistic effects and competitive relationships between DOC and DOX as acting on DNA molecules: Studied with confocal Raman spectroscopy and molecular docking technology. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30233.

Abstract
Docetaxel (DOC) is one of the second-generation antineoplastic drugs of the taxanes family with excellent antitumor activity. However, the mechanism of DOC inducing tumor cell apoptosis and treating cancer diseases, especially its interaction with DNA in the nucleus, and its adjuvant or combined Doxorubicin (DOX) acting on DNA molecules are unclear. In this study, the interaction mechanism between DOC and DNA, as well as the synergistic effects and competitive relationships among DOC and DOX when they simultaneously interact with DNA molecules were studied by laser confocal Raman spectroscopy combined with UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and molecular docking technology. The spectroscopic results showed that the binding constant of DOC to DNA is 5.25 × 103 M-1, the binding modes of DOC and DNA are non-classical intercalation and electrostatic binding, and the DNA-DOC complex has good stability. When DOC or DOX interacts with DNA alone, both of them can bind with bases and phosphate backbone of DNA, and also lead to DNA conformation changes; when DOC and DOX interact with DNA at the same time, the orders of interaction not only affect their binding sites with DNA, but also cause changes in the surrounding environment of the binding sites. In addition, the molecular docking results further verified that DOC and DOX have synergy and competition when they interact with DNA molecules simultaneously. The docking energies of DNA-DOC and DNA-DOX indicate the important role of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. This study has practical significance for the design and development of antitumor drugs with less toxic based on the taxanes family and the combination with other drugs for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Revealing the interaction mechanisms between anticancer drugs and target DNA molecules at the single-molecule level is a hot research topic in the interdisciplinary fields of biophysical chemistry and pharmaceutical engineering. When fluorescence imaging technology is employed to carry out this kind of research, a knotty problem due to fluorescent dye molecules and drug molecules acting on a DNA molecule simultaneously is encountered. In this paper, based on self-made novel solid active substrates NpAA/(ZnO-ZnCl2)/AuNPs, we use a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy method, inverted fluorescence microscope technology, and a molecular docking method to investigate the action of the fluorescent dye YOYO-1 and the drug DOX on calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) molecules and the influencing effects and competitive relationships of YOYO-1 on the binding properties of the ctDNA-DOX complex. The interaction sites and modes of action between the YOYO-1 and the ctDNA-DOX complex are systematically examined, and the DOX with the ctDNA-YOYO-1 are compared, and the impact of YOYO-1 on the stability of the ctDNA-DOX complex and the competitive mechanism between DOX and YOYO-1 acting with DNA molecules are elucidated. This study has helpful experimental guidance and a theoretical foundation to expound the mechanism of interaction between drugs and biomolecules at the single-molecule level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Analysis of the glutamine metabolic pathway has taken a special place in metabolomics research in recent years, given its important role in cell biosynthesis and bioenergetics across several disorders, especially in cancer cell survival. The science of metabolomics addresses the intricate intracellular metabolic network by exploring and understanding how cells function and respond to external or internal perturbations to identify potential therapeutic targets. However, despite recent advances in metabolomics, monitoring the kinetics of a metabolic pathway in a living cell in situ, real-time and holistically remains a significant challenge. AIM This review paper explores the range of analytical approaches for monitoring metabolic pathways, as well as physicochemical modeling techniques, with a focus on glutamine metabolism. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method and explore the potential of label-free Raman microspectroscopy, in conjunction with kinetic modeling, to enable real-time and in situ monitoring of the cellular kinetics of the glutamine metabolic pathway. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS Given its important role in cell metabolism, the ability to monitor and model the glutamine metabolic pathways are highlighted. Novel, label free approaches have the potential to revolutionise metabolic biosensing, laying the foundation for a new paradigm in metabolomics research and addressing the challenges in monitoring metabolic pathways in living cells.

Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor: Inhibition of Phosphorylation of Insulin Receptor (IR)/IR Substrate (IRS), Osteogeneration from Adipocytes, and Increased Levels Due to Doxorubicin Exposure. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:1960. [PMID: 37514146 PMCID: PMC10384968 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15071960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) has been recently linked to insulin resistance and is capable of differentiating myocytes to bone. We examined in more detail the intricate signalling of the insulin pathway influenced by PEDF in skeletal myocytes. We tested whether this serpin is also capable of generating de novo bone from adipocytes in vitro and in vivo, and how the anticancer drug doxorubicin links with PEDF and cellular metabolism. METHODS AND KEY FINDINGS We demonstrate that PEDF can inhibit phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate (IRS) in skeletal myocytes. PEDF constitutively activates p42/44 MAPK/Erk, but paradoxically does not affect mitogenic signalling. PEDF did not perturb either mitochondrial activity or proliferation in cells representing mesenchymal stem cells, cardiomyocytes, and skeletal myocytes and adipocytes. PEDF induced transdifferentiation of adipocytes to osteoblasts, promoting bone formation in cultured adipocytes in vitro and gelfoam fatpad implants in vivo. Bone formation in white adipose tissue (WAT) was better than in brown adipose tissue (BAT). The frontline anticancer drug doxorubicin increased levels of PEDF in a human breast cancer cell line, mirroring the in vivo finding where cardiac muscle tissue was stained increasingly for PEDF as the dose of doxorubicin increased in mice. PEDF also increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) in the breast cancer cell line. CONCLUSIONS PEDF may be used to regenerate bone from adipose tissue in cases of trauma such as fractures or bone cancers. The increased presence of PEDF in doxorubicin-treated tumour cells need further exploration, and could be useful therapeutically in future. The safety of PEDF administration in vivo was further demonstrated in this study.

Abstract
A new avenue has opened up for applications of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in the biomedical field, mainly due to the striking advantages offered by SERS tags. SERS tags provide indirect identification of analytes with rich and highly specific spectral fingerprint information, high sensitivity, and outstanding multiplexing potential, making them very useful in in vitro and in vivo assays. The recent and innovative advances in nanomaterial science, novel Raman reporters, and emerging bioconjugation protocols have helped develop ultra-bright SERS tags as powerful tools for multiplex SERS-based detection and diagnosis applications. Nevertheless, to translate SERS platforms to real-world problems, some challenges, especially for clinical applications, must be addressed. This review presents the current understanding of the factors influencing the quality of SERS tags and the strategies commonly employed to improve not only spectral quality but the specificity and reproducibility of the interaction of the analyte with the target ligand. It further explores some of the most common approaches which have emerged for coupling SERS with microfluidic technologies, for biomedical applications. The importance of understanding microfluidic production and characterisation to yield excellent device quality while ensuring high throughput production are emphasised and explored, after which, the challenges and approaches developed to fulfil the potential that SERS-based microfluidics have to offer are described.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Doxorubicin (Dox) belongs to the anthracycline drug classification and is a widely administered chemotherapeutic. However, Dox use in therapy is limited by its cardiotoxicity, representing a significant drawback of Dox treatment applicability. A large amount of current research is on reducing Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by developing targeted delivery systems and investigating cardiotoxicity mechanisms. Recently, discrepancies have challenged the traditional understanding of Dox metabolism, mechanisms of action and cardiotoxicity drivers. This review summarises the current knowledge around Dox's metabolism, mechanisms of anticancer activity, and delivery systems and offers a unique perspective on the relationships between several proposed mechanisms of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. KEY FINDINGS While there is a strong understanding of Dox's pharmacokinetic properties, it is unclear which enzymes contribute to Dox metabolism and how Dox induces its cytotoxic effect in neoplastic and non-neoplastic cells. Evidence suggests that there are several potentially synergistic mechanisms involved in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. SUMMARY It has become clear that Dox operates in a multifactorial fashion dependent on cellular context. Accumulation of oxidative stress appears to be a common factor in cardiotoxicity mechanisms, highlighting the importance of novel delivery systems and antioxidant therapies.

Abstract
It is of great fundamental significance and practical application to understand the binding sites and dynamic process of the interaction between doxorubicin (DOX) and DNA molecules. Based on the Confocal Raman spectroscopy, the interaction between DOX and calf thymus DNA has been systemically investigated, and some meaningful findings have been found. DOX molecules can not only interact with all four bases of DNA molecules, i.e., adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and phosphate, but also affect the DNA conformation. Meanwhile, the binding site of DOX and its derivatives such as daunorubicin and epirubicin is certain. Furthermore, the interaction between DOX and DNA molecules is a dynamic process since the intensities of each characteristic peaks of the base, e.g., adenine, cytosine, and phosphate, are all regularly changed with the interaction time. Finally, a dynamic mechanism model of the interaction between DOX and DNA molecules is proposed; that is, there are two kinds of interaction between DOX and DNA molecules: DOX-DNA acts to form a complex, and DOX-DOX acts to form a multimer. The two effects are competitive, as the former compresses DNA molecules, and the latter decompresses these DNA molecules. This work is helpful for accurately understanding and developing new drugs and pathways to improve and treat DOX-induced cytotoxicity and cardiotoxicity.

Combining Pharmacokinetics and Vibrational Spectroscopy: MCR-ALS Hard-and-Soft Modelling of Drug Uptake In Vitro Using Tailored Kinetic Constraints. Cells 2022; 11:1555. [PMID: 35563861 PMCID: PMC9099467 DOI: 10.3390/cells11091555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Raman microspectroscopy is a label-free technique which is very suited for the investigation of pharmacokinetics of cellular uptake, mechanisms of interaction, and efficacies of drugs in vitro. However, the complexity of the spectra makes the identification of spectral patterns associated with the drug and subsequent cellular responses difficult. Indeed, multivariate methods that relate spectral features to the inoculation time do not normally take into account the kinetics involved, and important theoretical information which could assist in the elucidation of the relevant spectral signatures is excluded. Here, we propose the integration of kinetic equations in the modelling of drug uptake and subsequent cellular responses using Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) and tailored kinetic constraints, based on a system of ordinary differential equations. Advantages of and challenges to the methodology were evaluated using simulated Raman spectral data sets and real Raman spectra acquired from A549 and Calu-1 human lung cells inoculated with doxorubicin, in vitro. The results suggest a dependency of the outcome on the system of equations used, and the importance of the temporal resolution of the data set to enable the use of complex equations. Nevertheless, the use of tailored kinetic constraints during MCR-ALS allowed a more comprehensive modelling of the system, enabling the elucidation of not only the time-dependent concentration profiles and spectral features of the drug binding and cellular responses, but also an accurate computation of the kinetic constants.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopic imaging is a label-free spectral technology to investigate the distribution of transdermal targets in skin. However, it is difficult to analyze low content of analytes in skin by direct imaging analysis. Combining Raman mapping technology with multiple linear regression algorithms, concentration contribution factor of targets in ex vivo human skin tissue at every point has been calculated. The distribution profiles are visualized as heat maps demonstrating the targets levels in different skin layers. This method has been successfully employed to investigate the vibrational imaging of distribution of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine in skin. Moreover, three dimensional (3D) images of the penetration profiles of hyaluronic acid with different molecular weight have been obtained. The results from 3D images were in good agreement with these from two-dimensional images, indicating that this method was a reliable way for monitoring the distribution of targets in skin.

Abstract
Solar radiation exposure is recognised to be a significant contributor to the development of skin cancer. Monitoring the simultaneous and consecutive mechanisms of interaction could provide a greater understanding of the process of photocarcinogenesis. This work presents an analysis of the biochemical and morphological changes occurring to immortalised human epithelial keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell cultures exposed to simulated solar radiation (SSR). Cell viability was monitored with the aid of the Alamar Blue assay, morphological examination was done with haematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E) and changes to the biochemical constituents (nucleic acids and proteins) as a result of the radiation insult were demonstrated through a combination of Raman microspectroscopy and multivariate analysis of spectral patterns. The spectral results suggest that SSR induces changes to the conformational structure of DNA as an immediate result of the radiation, whereas alteration in the protein signature is mostly seen as a later response.

Abstract
Herein, we investigated the use of multimodal Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopic microscopy for the elucidation of drug uptake and subsequent cellular responses. Firstly, we compared different methods for the analysis of the combined data. Secondly, we evaluated whether the combined analysis provided enough benefits to justify the fusion of the data. A459 cells inoculated with doxorubicin (DOX) at different times were fixed and analysed using each technique. Raman spectroscopy provided high sensitivity to DOX and enabled an accurate estimation of the drug uptake at each time point, whereas IR provided a better insight into the resultant changes in the biochemical composition of the cell. In terms of benefits of data fusion, 2D correlation analysis allowed the study of the relationship between IR and Raman variables, whereas the joint analysis of IR and Raman enabled the correlation of the different variables to be monitored over time. In summary, the complementary nature of IR and Raman makes the combination of these vibrational techniques an appealing tool to follow drug kinetics and cellular response.

Abstract
The continued emergence of nanoscale materials for nanoparticle-based therapy, sensing and imaging, as well as their more general adoption in a broad range of industrial applications, has placed increasing demands on the ability to assess their interactions and impacts at a cellular and subcellular level, both in terms of potentially beneficial and detrimental effects. Notably, however, many such materials have been shown to interfere with conventional in vitro cellular assays that record only a single colorimetric end-point, challenging the ability to rapidly screen cytological responses. As an alternative, Raman microspectroscopy can spatially profile the biochemical content of cells, and any changes to it as a result of exogenous agents, such as toxicants or therapeutic agents, in a label free manner. In the confocal mode, analysis can be performed at a subcellular level. The technique has been employed to confirm the cellular uptake and subcellular localization of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs), graphene and molybdenum disulfide micro/nano plates (MoS2), based on their respective characteristic spectroscopic signatures. In the case of PSNPs it was further employed to identify their local subcellular environment in endosomes, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum, while for MoS2 particles, it was employed to monitor subcellular degradation as a function of time. For amine functionalized PSNPs, the potential of Raman microspectroscopy to quantitatively characterize the dose and time dependent toxic responses has been explored, in a number of cell lines. Comparing the responses to those of poly (amidoamine) nanoscale polymeric dendrimers, differentiation of apoptotic and necrotic pathways based on the cellular spectroscopic responses was demonstrated. Drawing in particular from the experience of the authors, this paper details the progress to date in the development of applications of Raman microspectroscopy for in vitro, label free analysis of the uptake, fate and impacts of nanoparticle based materials, in vitro, and the prospects for the development of a routine, label free high content spectroscopic analysis technique.

Abstract
Using confocal Raman micro-spectroscopy, this study aims to elucidate the cellular responses of the γ-secretase inhibitor, N-[N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-L-alanyl]-S-phenylglycine t-butyl ester (DAPT), in osteosarcoma (OS) cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The K7M2 murine OS cell line was treated with different DAPT doses (0, 10, 20, and 40 μM) for 24 and 48 hours before investigations. Significant compositional changes (nucleic acids, protein and lipid) after DAPT treatment were addressed, which testified inhibitory effect of DAPT on the growth of OS cells. Moreover, both partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) analyses revealed governing composition variations among groups by distinguishing their spectral characteristics. Furthermore, by adopting leave-one-out cross validation method, it is shown that PLS-DA exhibited more classification capacity than PCA-LDA algorithm. Hence, by understanding the DAPT-based cellular variations, the achieved results provided an experimental foundation to establish new DAPT-based anticancer therapeutic strategies, and preclinical Raman analytical methodologies on drug-cell interactions.

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
Immunoassays using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy are especially interesting on account not only of their increased sensitivity, but also due to its easy translation to point-of-care formats. The bases for these assays are bioconjugates of polyclonal antibodies and anisotropic gold nanoparticles functionalized with a Raman reporter. These bioconjugates, once loaded with the antigen analyte, can react on a sandwich format with the same antibodies immobilized on a surface. This surface can then be used for detection, on a microfluidics or immunochromatographic platform. Here, we have assembled bioconjugates of gold nanostars functionalized with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, and anti-horseradish peroxidase antibodies. The assembly was by simple incubation, and agarose gel electrophoresis determined a high gold nanostar to antibody binding constant. The functionality of the bioconjugates is easy to determine since the respective antigen presents peroxidase enzymatic activity. Furthermore, the chosen antibody is a generic immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody, opening the application of these principles to other antibody-antigen systems. Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy analysis of these bioconjugates indicated antigen detection down to 50 µU of peroxidase activity. All steps of conjugation were fully characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, ζ -Potential, scanning electron microscopy, and agarose gel electrophoresis. Based on the latter technique, a proof-of-concept was established for the proposed immunoassay.

Abstract
Probiotics have been widely used in maintaining intestinal health and one of their benefits is to enhance host antioxidant capacity. However, the involved molecular mechanisms require further investigated. Autophagy is a self-protection process in response to diverse stresses. We hypothesized that probiotics could modulate intestinal autophagy to alleviate oxidative stress. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were orally administered Bacillus SC06 or SC08 daily for 24 days and thereafter received an intraperitoneal injection of diquat (DQ) to induce oxidative stress. We found that rats administered Bacillus SC06 showed more significant intestinal tissue repair and antioxidant properties than those administered SC08, which suggests a strain-specific effect of probiotics. Moreover, SC06 alleviated apoptosis by regulating the expression of Bcl2, Bax and cleaved caspase-3. Further investigations revealed that SC06 triggered autophagy, indicated by the upregulation of LC3 and Beclin1 and the degradation of p62 in rat jejunum and IEC-6 cells. Preincubation with autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) significantly aggravated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptotic cell formation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), not AKT (alpha serine/threonine kinase)/mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), was involved in SC06-induced autophagy. Taken together, Bacillus SC06 can alleviate oxidative stress-induced disorders and apoptosis via p38-mediated autophagy. The above findings highlight a novel mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of probiotics as functional food and provide a new perspective on the prevention and treatment of oxidative damages.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has been widely used in clinical and molecular biological studies, providing high chemical specificity without the necessity of labels and with little-to-no sample preparation. However, currently performed Raman-based studies of eukaryotic cells are still very laborious and time-consuming, resulting in a low number of sampled cells and questionable statistical validations. Furthermore, the approach requires a trained specialist to perform and analyze the experiments, rendering the method less attractive for most laboratories. In this work, we present a new high-content analysis Raman spectroscopy (HCA-RS) platform that overcomes the current challenges of conventional Raman spectroscopy implementations. HCA-RS allows sampling of a large number of cells under different physiological conditions without any user interaction. The performance of the approach is successfully demonstrated by the development of a Raman-based cell viability assay, i.e., the effect of doxorubicin concentration on monocytic THP-1 cells. A statistical model, principal component analysis combined with support vector machine (PCA-SVM), was found to successfully predict the percentage of viable cells in a mixed population and is in good agreement to results obtained by a standard cell viability assay. This study demonstrates the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a standard high-throughput tool for clinical and biological applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) correlation analysis is explored to data mine the time evolution of the characteristic Raman microspectroscopic signatures of the subcellular responses of the nucleoli of human lung cancer cells to the uptake of doxorubicin. A simulated dataset of experimental control spectra, perturbed with systematically time-dependent spectral changes, constituted by a short-term response which represents the initial binding of the drug in the nucleolus, followed by a longer term response of the organelle metabolism, is used to validate the analysis protocol. Applying 2D correlation analysis, the in phase, synchronous correlation coefficients are seen to contain contributions of both response profiles, whereas they can be independently extracted from the out of phase, asynchronous correlation coefficients. The methodology is applied to experimental data of the uptake of doxorubicin in human lung cell lines to differentiate the signatures of chemical binding and subsequent cellular response.

Abstract
Topically applied active cosmetic ingredients (ACI) or active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) efficacy is directly related to their efficiency of penetration in the skin. In vitro reconstructed human epidermis surrogate models offer in vivo like skin samples for transdermal studies. Using Delipidol®, an ACI currently used in the cosmetics industry, the capabilities to deliver accurate distribution maps and penetration profiles of this molecule by means of confocal Raman spectroscopic imaging have been demonstrated. Using a non-negative constrained least squares (NCLS) approach, contribution of specific molecules can be estimated at each point of spectral maps in order to deliver semi-quantitative heat maps representing the ACI levels in the different skin layers. The concentration profiles obtained are approximately single exponential for all 3 time points evaluated, with a consistent decay constant, which is independent of the sublayer structure. Notably, however, there is no significant penetration into the lower basal layers until a critical concentration is built up, after 3 hours. Combination of Raman confocal imaging with spectral unmixing methods such as NCLS is demonstrated to be a relevant approach for in vitro biological evaluation of cosmetic and pharmaceutical active ingredients and could easily be implemented as a screening tool for industrial use.

Abstract
This overview groups some of the recent studies highlighting the potential application of Raman microspectroscopy as an analytical technique in preclinical development to predict drug mechanism of action and in clinical application as a companion diagnostic and in personalised therapy due to its capacity to predict cellular resistance and therefore to optimise chemotherapeutic treatment efficacy. Notably, the anthracyclines, doxorubicin and actinomycin D, elicit similar spectroscopic signatures of subcellular interaction characteristic of the mode of action of intercalation. Although cisplatin and vincristine show markedly different signatures, at low exposure doses, their signatures at higher doses show marked similarities to those elicited by the intercalating anthracyclines, confirming that anticancer agents can have different modes of action with different spectroscopic signatures, depending on the dose. The study demonstrates that Raman microspectroscopy can elucidate subcellular transport and accumulation pathways of chemotherapeutic agents, characterise and fingerprint their mode of action, and potentially identify cell-resistant strains. The consistency of the spectroscopic signatures for drugs of similar modes of action, in different cell lines, suggests that this fingerprint can be considered a "spectralome" of the drug-cell interaction suggesting a new paradigm of representing spectroscopic responses.

Abstract
Blood is a fluid connective tissue of human body, where it plays vital functions for the nutrition, defense and well-being of the organism. When circulating in peripheral districts, it is exposed to some physical stresses coming from outside the human body, as electromagnetic fields (EMFs) which can cross the skin. Such fields may interact with biomolecules possibly inducing non thermal-mediated biological effects at the cellular level. In this study, the occurrence of biochemical/biological modifications in human peripheral blood lympho-monocytes exposed in a reverberation chamber for times ranging from 1 to 20 h to EMFs at 1.8 GHz frequency and 200 V/m electric field strength was investigated. Morphological analysis of adherent cells unveiled, in some of these, appearance of an enlarged and deformed shape after EMFs exposure. Raman spectra of the nuclear compartment of cells exposed to EMFs revealed the onset of biochemical modifications, mainly consisting in the reduction of the DNA backbone-linked vibrational modes. Respirometric measurements of mitochondrial activity in intact lympho-monocytes resulted in increase of the resting oxygen consumption rate after 20 h of exposure, which was coupled to a significant increase of the FoF1-ATP synthase-related oxygen consumption. Notably, at lower time-intervals of EMFs exposure (i.e. 5 and 12 h) a large increase of the proton leak-related respiration was observed which, however, recovered at control levels after 20 h exposure. Confocal microscopy analysis of the mitochondrial membrane potential supported the respiratory activities whereas no significant variations in the mitochondrial mass/morphology was observed in EMFs-exposed lympho-monocytes. Finally, altered redox homeostasis was shown in EMFs-exposed lympho-monocytes, which progressed differently in nucleated cellular subsets. This results suggest the occurrence of adaptive mechanisms put in action, likely via redox signaling, to compensate for early impairments of the oxidative phosphorylation system caused by exposure to EMFs. Overall the data presented warn for health safety of people involved in long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields, although further studies are required to pinpoint the leukocyte cellular subset(s) selectively targeted by the EMFs action and the mechanisms by which it is achieved.

Abstract
The applications of Raman microspectroscopy have been extended in recent years into the field of clinical medicine, and specifically in cancer research, as a non-invasive diagnostic method in vivo and ex vivo, and the field of pharmaceutical development as a label-free predictive technique for new drug mechanisms of action in vitro. To further illustrate its potential for such applications, it is important to establish its capability to fingerprint drug mechanisms of action and different cellular reactions. In this study, cytotoxicity assays were employed to establish the toxicity profiles for 48 and 72 hours exposure of lung cancer cell lines, A549 and Calu-1, after exposure to Actinomycin D (ACT) and Raman micro-spectroscopy was used to track its mechanism of action at subcellular level and subsequent cellular responses. Multivariate data analysis was used to elucidate the spectroscopic signatures associated with ACT chemical binding and cellular resistances. Results show that the ACT uptake and mechanism of action are similar in the 2 cell lines, while A549 cells exhibits spectral signatures of resistance to apoptosis related to its higher chemoresistance to the anticancer drug ACT. The observations are discussed in comparison to previous studies of the similar anthracyclic chemotherapeutic agent Doxorubicin.

Abstract
Raman micro-spectroscopy is a non-invasive analytical tool, whose potential in cellular analysis and monitoring drug mechanisms of action has already been demonstrated, and which can potentially be used in pre-clinical and clinical applications for the prediction of chemotherapeutic efficacy. To further investigate such potential clinical application, it is important to demonstrate its capability to differentiate drug mechanisms of action and cellular resistances. Using the example of Doxorubicin (DOX), in this study, it was used to probe the cellular uptake, signatures of chemical binding and subsequent cellular responses, of the chemotherapeutic drug in two lung cancer cell lines, A549 and Calu-1. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to elucidate the spectroscopic signatures associated with DOX uptake and subcellular interaction. Biomarkers related to DNA damage and repair, and mechanisms leading to apoptosis were also measured and correlated to Raman spectral profiles. Results confirm the potential of Raman spectroscopic profiling to elucidate both drug kinetics and pharmacodynamics and differentiate cellular drug resistance associated with different subcellular accumulation rates and subsequent cellular response to DNA damage, pointing towards a better understanding of drug resistance for personalised targeted treatment.

Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer remarkably increases all over the world. Therefore, there is a great demand to introduce new approaches into cancer treatment field. The current study was designated to evaluate the role of doxorubicin (DOX) and/or thymoquinone (TQ) nanomatrix in potentiating the cytotoxicity of either drug, and to investigate the ability of TQ to reduce cardiotoxicity of DOX in solid Ehrlich carcinoma (SEC)-bearing mice. DOX and TQ were loaded into F2 gel, which is a fully-acetylated poly-N-acetyl glucosamine nanofiber. SEC was induced in female albino mice as a model for experimentally induced breast cancer. Mice were randomly divided into eight groups (n=10): normal control, tumor control, F2 gel, free DOX, DOX+F2 gel, free TQ, TQ+F2 gel, and DOX+TQ+F2 gel. On day 28th from tumor inoculation, mice were sacrificed and blood samples were collected for measurement of the cardiac markers; lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK-MB). In addition, cardiac tissue was utilized for determination of lipid peroxide, and tumor tissue was used for measurement of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 as well as gene expression of the tumor suppressor gene P53. DOX and/or TQ showed a significant reduction in tumor volume, cardiac markers, tumor Bcl-2, and P53 upregulation compared to free conventional therapies. Co-treatment with DOX+TQ+F2 gel was superior to all other groups in exerting beneficial effects. Use of TQ as an adjuvant therapy with DOX could improve its cytotoxic effects and limit its cardiac toxicity. Furthermore, loading of DOX and/or TQ into F2 gel showed a remarkable anti-cancer activity.
