Reliable cell preparation protocol for Raman imaging to effectively differentiate normal leukocytes and leukemic blasts. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 292:122408.

Abstract
Leukemias are a remarkably diverse group of malignancies originating from abnormal progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Leukemia subtypes are classified according to the cell type that has undergone neoplastic transformation using demanding and time-consuming methods. Alternative is Raman imaging that can be used both for living and fixed cells. However, considering the diversity of leukemic cell types and normal leukocytes, and the availability of different sample preparation protocols, the main objective of this work was to verify them for leukemia and normal blood cell samples for Raman imaging. The effect of glutaraldehyde (GA) fixation in a concentration gradient (0.1 %, 0.5 %, and 2.5 % GA) on the molecular structure of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was verified. Changes in the secondary structure of proteins within cells were indicated as the main effect of fixation, as shown by an increase in band intensity at 1041 cm-1, characteristic for in-plane δ(CH) deformation in phenylalanine (Phe). Different sensitivity of mononuclear and leukemic cells to fixation was observed. While the 0.1 % concentration of GA was too low to preserve the cell structure for an extended period of time, a GA concentration of 0.5 % seemed optimal for both normal and malignant cells. Chemical changes in PBMCs samples stored for 11 days were also investigated, which manifested in numerous modifications in the secondary structure of proteins and the content of nucleic acids. The impact of cell preculturing for 72 h after unbanking was verified, and there was no significant effect on the molecular structure of cells fixed with 0.5 % GA. In summary, the developed protocol for the preparation of samples for Raman imaging allows for the effective differentiation of fixed normal leukocytes from malignant T lymphoblasts.

In situ exploring Chidamide, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, induces molecular changes of leukemic T-lymphocyte apoptosis using Raman spectroscopy. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 241:118669.

Abstract
Though it has been demonstrated that Chidamide (CS055/HBI-8000), a novel benzamide class of histone deacetylase (HDAC) subtype-selectively inhibitor, reveals better anticancer effect in acute leukemia, but it remains unknown about the precise mechanism of Chidamide-induced acute leukemia cell apoptosis due to the lack of in situ molecular changes information. Based on Raman spectral analysis, we find that the action of Chidamide on Jurkat cell will lead to an addition of an acetyl group to a specific lysine residue at the end of histone amino acid, and greatly enhance the acetylation of histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, and then destroy the electrostatic force between the alkaline terminal of the positive charged arginine side chain and the negative charged DNA of phosphate group, finally cause the depolymerization of DNA and histone octamer in chromatin nucleosome depolymerization and the relaxation of chromatin. Accordingly, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the decreasing of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) are observed. For comparison, we also present the corresponding results of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and MS-275 inhibitors. The achieved results show that proliferation of Chidamide-treated Jurkat cells is low relative to MS-275 or SAHA, and the action of Chidamide or MS-275 on Jurkat cells lead to obvious increasing in histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, whereas the action effect of SAHA is mainly observed in histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3 but weak in histone H4. Moreover, it is found that Chidamide-induced histone H3 acetylation in Jurkat cells is stronger than MS-275 and SAHA. Collectively, by Raman spectral analysis, we achieve the dynamic behavior of biochemical components, molecular conformation and morphological changes of HDAC inhibitors-treated Jurkat cells. Importantly, our research is the first to demonstrate that the action site of HDAC inhibitors on Jurkat cell is located in the DNA minor groove. Most importantly, the application of Raman spectrum in exploring in-situ molecular changes information, histone acetylation modification in epigenetics, drug action sites and cell cycle affected by HDAC inhibitors will supply new idea and reference for the design and modification of HDAC inhibitors.

Abstract
Distinction between closely related and morphologically similar cells is difficult by conventional methods especially without labeling. Using nuclear-targeted gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as intracellular probes we demonstrate the ability to distinguish between progenitor and differentiated cell types in a human neuroblastoma cell line using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). SERS spectra from the whole cell area as well as only the nucleus were analyzed using principal component analysis that allowed unambiguous distinction of the different cell types. SERS spectra from the nuclear region showed the developments during cellular differentiation by identifying an increase in DNA/RNA ratio and proteins transcribed. Our approach using nuclear-targeted AuNPs and SERS imaging provides label-free and noninvasive characterization that can play a vital role in identifying cell types in biomedical stem cell research.

Abstract
Extensive Raman measurements have been made on calf thymus chromatin, core chromatin, the (H3,H4)/DNA complex, and isolated DNA. The results indicate that the alpha-helical content of the nucleosomal histones gradually increases as they form the heterocomplexes that lead to the formation of the octameric nucleosome core. The secondary structure of the latter is not modified as it binds to DNA. The spectra indicate that the DNA essentially retains its B conformation in nucleosomes, although slight changes probably occur in the ribose-phosphate backbone. No specific interactions between the nucleosomal histones and DNA can be established from the spectra, but histone H1 possibly interacts selectively with the thymine bases.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectra of complexes between DNA and the four core histones, alone or associated, have been investigated in vitro using excitations at 300 and 257 nm, which give complementary informations about the DNA bases. H2A and H2B fractions recognize the G-C base pairs, while H3 and H4 (arginine rich fractions) recognize the A-T base pairs. The associated fractions form complexes with DNA which yield about the same DNA spectral modifications as the DNA-H4 complexes. This reveals the important role of the arginine rich fractions in the core particle formation and confirms the preferential in vitro assembly of nucleosome cores on A-T rich regions of DNA (25).

Abstract
Raman spectra, in the frequency region of the protein vibrations, of intact single muscle fibers of the giant barnacle are presented. Strong bands at 1521 and 1156 cm-1 in the spectra are attributed to resonance-enhanced Raman bands of membrane-bound beta-carotene. Many bands of the myofibrillar proteins are also observed, and at least three spectral features confirm that these proteins adopt a predominantly alpha-helical structure: (1) the amide I band at 1648 cm-1, (2) the weak scattering in the amide III region, and (3) a strong skeletal C-C stretching band at 939 cm-1. Deuterated fibers have also been examined in order to find the exact shape of the amide III band. The presence in the fibers of paramyosin, which is only found in catch muscles, is also apparent from the spectra.
