Providing potential solutions by using FT-IR spectroscopy for biofluid analysis: Clinical impact of optical screening and diagnostic tests. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2023; 44:103753. [PMID: 37597683 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the potential of FT-IR spectroscopy for rapid diagnosis of many pathologies has been demonstrated by numerous research studies including those targeting COVID-19 detection. However, the number of clinicians aware of this potential and who are willing to use spectroscopy in their clinics and hospitals is still negligible. In addition, lack of awareness creates a huge gap between clinicians and researchers involved in clinical translation of current FT-IR technology hence hindering initiatives to bring basic and applied research together for the direct benefit of patients. METHODS Knowledge and medical training on FT-IR on the side of clinicians should be one of the first steps to be able to integrate it into the list of complementary exams which may be requested by health professionals. Countless FT-IR applications could have a life-changing impact on patients' lives, especially screening and diagnostic tests involving biofluids such as blood, saliva and urine which are routinely non-invasively or minimally-invasively. RESULTS Blood may be the most difficult to obtain by the invasive method of collection, but much can be evaluated in its components, and areas such as hematology, infectiology, oncology and endocrinology can be directly benefited. Urine with a relatively simple collection method can provide pertinent information from the entire urinary system, including the actual condition of the kidneys. Saliva collection can be simpler for the patient and can provide information on diseases affecting the mouth and digestive system and can be used to diagnose diseases such as oral cancer in its early-stages. An unavoidable second step is the active involvement of industries to design robust and portable instruments for specific purposes, as the medical community requires user-friendly instruments of advanced computational algorithms. A third step resides in the legal situation involving the global use of the technique as a new diagnostic modality. CONCLUSIONS It is important to note that decentralized funds for variety of technologies hinders the training of clinical and medical professionals for the use of newly arising technologies and affect the engagement of these professionals with technology developers. As a result of decentralized funding, research efforts are spread out over a range of technologies which take a long time to get validated and translated to the clinic. Partnership over similar groups of technologies and efforts to test the same technologies while overcoming barriers posed to technology validation in different areas around the globe may benefit the clinical/medical, research and industry community globally.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy recently proved a tremendous capacity to identify disease-specific markers in various (bio)samples being a non-invasive, rapid, and reliable method for cancer detection. In this study, we first aimed to record vibrational spectra of salivary exosomes isolated from oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients and healthy controls using surface enhancement Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Then, we assessed this method's capacity to discriminate between malignant and non-malignant samples by means of principal component-linear discriminant analysis (PC-LDA) and we used area under the receiver operating characteristics with illustration as the area under the curve to measure the power of salivary exosomes SERS spectra analysis to identify cancer presence. The vibrational spectra were collected on a solid plasmonic substrate developed in our group, synthesized using tangential flow filtered and concentrated silver nanoparticles, capable of generating very reproducible spectra for a whole range of bioanalytes. SERS examination identified interesting variations in the vibrational bands assigned to thiocyanate, proteins, and nucleic acids between the saliva of cancer and control groups. Chemometric analysis indicated discrimination sensitivity between the two groups up to 79.3%. The sensitivity is influenced by the spectral interval used for the multivariate analysis, being lower (75.9%) when the full-range spectra were used.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated the feasibility of using urine surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for the rapid screening of patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The SERS spectra were recorded from the urine of 49 liver cirrhosis, 55 HCC, and 50 healthy volunteers using a Raman spectrometer. The normalized mean Raman spectra showed the difference of specific biomolecules associated with the illnesses, and the metabolism of specific nucleic acids and amino acids is abnormal in patients with liver cirrhosis and HCC. Based on the SVM algorithm, the urine SERS method could identify liver cirrhosis (sensitivity 88.9%, specificity 83.3%, and accuracy 85.9%) and HCC (sensitivity 85.5%, specificity 84.0%, and accuracy 84.8%). It has a higher diagnostic sensitivity for HCC than serum Alpha fetoprotein (AFP). This exploratory study showed that the urine SERS spectra combined with the SVM algorithm has indicated great potential in the noninvasive identification of liver cirrhosis and HCC.

Abstract
This review surveys Infrared, Raman/SERS and Brillouin spectroscopies for medical diagnostics and detection of biomarkers in biofluids, that include urine, blood, saliva and other biofluids. These optical sensing techniques are non-contact, noninvasive and relatively rapid, accurate, label-free and affordable. However, those techniques still have to overcome some challenges to be widely adopted in routine clinical diagnostics. This review summarizes and provides insights on recent advancements in research within the field of vibrational spectroscopy for medical diagnostics and its use in detection of many health conditions such as kidney injury, cancers, cardiovascular and infectious diseases. The six comprehensive tables in the review and four tables in supplementary information summarize a few dozen experimental papers in terms of such analytical parameters as limit of detection, range, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and other figures of merits. Critical comparison between SERS and FTIR methods of analysis reveals that on average the reported sensitivity for biomarkers in biofluids for SERS vs FTIR is about 103 to 105 times higher, since LOD SERS are lower than LOD FTIR by about this factor. High sensitivity gives SERS an edge in detection of many biomarkers present in biofluids at low concentration (nM and sub nM), which can be particularly advantageous for example in early diagnostics of cancer or viral infections.HighlightsRaman, Infrared spectroscopies use low volume of biofluidic samples, little sample preparation, fast time of analysis and relatively inexpensive instrumentation.Applications of SERS may be a bit more complicated than applications of FTIR (e.g., limited shelf life for nanoparticles and substrates, etc.), but this can be generously compensated by much higher (by several order of magnitude) sensitivity in comparison to FTIR.High sensitivity makes SERS a noninvasive analytical method of choice for detection, quantification and diagnostics of many health conditions, metabolites, and drugs, particularly in diagnostics of cancer, including diagnostics of its early stages.FTIR, particularly ATR-FTIR can be a method of choice for efficient sensing of many biomarkers, present in urine, blood and other biofluids at sufficiently high concentrations (mM and even a few µM)Brillouin scattering spectroscopy detecting visco-elastic properties of probed liquid medium, may also find application in clinical analysis of some biofluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid and urine.

A New Look into Cancer-A Review on the Contribution of Vibrational Spectroscopy on Early Diagnosis and Surgery Guidance. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13215336.

Abstract
Simple Summary Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with the detection of the disease in its early stages, as well as a correct assessment of the tumour margins, being paramount for a successful recovery. While breast cancer is one of most common types of cancer, head and neck cancer is one of the types of cancer with a lower prognosis and poor aesthetic results. Vibrational spectroscopy detects molecular vibrations, being sensitive to different sample compositions, even when the difference was slight. The use of spectroscopy in biomedicine has been extensively explored, since it allows a broader assessment of the biochemical fingerprint of several diseases. This literature review covers the most recent advances in breast and head and neck cancer early diagnosis and intraoperative margin assessment, through Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. The rising field of spectral histopathology was also approached. The authors aimed at expounding in a more concise and simple way the challenges faced by clinicians and how vibrational spectroscopy has evolved to respond to those needs for the two types of cancer with the highest potential for improvement regarding an early diagnosis, surgical margin assessment and histopathology. Abstract In 2020, approximately 10 million people died of cancer, rendering this disease the second leading cause of death worldwide. Detecting cancer in its early stages is paramount for patients’ prognosis and survival. Hence, the scientific and medical communities are engaged in improving both therapeutic strategies and diagnostic methodologies, beyond prevention. Optical vibrational spectroscopy has been shown to be an ideal diagnostic method for early cancer diagnosis and surgical margins assessment, as a complement to histopathological analysis. Being highly sensitive, non-invasive and capable of real-time molecular imaging, Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies give information on the biochemical profile of the tissue under analysis, detecting the metabolic differences between healthy and cancerous portions of the same sample. This constitutes tremendous progress in the field, since the cancer-prompted morphological alterations often occur after the biochemical imbalances in the oncogenic process. Therefore, the early cancer-associated metabolic changes are unnoticed by the histopathologist. Additionally, Raman and FTIR spectroscopies significantly reduce the subjectivity linked to cancer diagnosis. This review focuses on breast and head and neck cancers, their clinical needs and the progress made to date using vibrational spectroscopy as a diagnostic technique prior to surgical intervention and intraoperative margin assessment.

Abstract
Fast, sensitive, and noninvasive techniques are needed for better health care management, particularly when traditional biopsies could be replaced with appropriate analyses of body fluids, such as saliva. Here is presented a proof-of-concept study, which aims to test a recently developed saliva samples preparation method, for oral and oropharyngeal cancer diagnosis, using micro-Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic techniques. The detected biomarker bands and the cancer classification rates are compared and discussed. Saliva samples were collected from healthy donors and pathologically confirmed oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients. Principal components analysis (PCA) and principal components analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) chemometric methods were applied to build discrimination models for the test and control groups. Based on the differences between salivary spectra of healthy and cancer patients, several biomarker bands were identified. Noteworthy, a significant vibrational biomarker band at 2064 cm-1, assigned to thiocyanate, was observed in both the FT-IR and Raman data-set. Other cancer characteristic Raman bands were 754 cm-1 (tryptophan), 530 and 927 cm-1 (lysozyme), 1001 cm-1 (phenylalanine), while the FT-IR biomarker band was located at 1075 cm-1 (phosphodiester bonds stretching in DNA, RNA). The oral and oropharyngeal cancer was classified with an accuracy of 90% based on the micro-Raman data and 82% based on the FT-IR data set, respectively. The study showed that oral and oropharyngeal cancer can be differentiated from control saliva samples based on their respective micro-Raman and FT-IR spectral signatures, due to the biomolecular modifications induced by the disease.

Abstract
Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy has been used to investigate pathophysiological changes caused by sepsis. Sepsis has been defined as a potentially fatal organic dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and can lead a patient to risk of death. This study used samples consisting of the blood plasma of mice which were induced to sepsis state, compared to a healthy group using FT-IR associated with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy. For statistical analysis, principal components analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were applied, independently, to the second derivative spectra of both the fingerprint (900-1800 cm-1) and the high wavenumber (2800-3100 cm-1) regions. The technique efficiently differentiated the blood plasma of the two groups, sepsis and healthy mice, the analysis indicating that fatty acids and lipids in the blood samples could be an important biomarker of sepsis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are highly vascularized neoplasms with poor prognosis. Nanomedicine possesses great potential to deliver therapeutics and diagnostics. The new aspect of this study is that we have monitored, for the first time, the Raman responses to microtubule targeted vascular disrupting agents (MTVDA), MTVDA encapsulated non-targeted, and targeted cetuximab polymeric nanocomplexes delivery of combinatorial therapeutics in HCC tumor tissues of mice. Biochemical differences majorly demarcated apoptotic lipid bodies, and characteristic amide-I features. HCC tumor and healthy liver tissues could be stratified. Raman spectroscopy served as an excellent, rapid, sensitive and cost-effective approach for anticancer nanomedicine distinct stratification of MTVDA encapsulated targeted cetuximab polymeric nanocomplex combinatorials, a significant potential for HCC therapeutic monitoring.

Development and validation of hybrid Brillouin-Raman spectroscopy for non-contact assessment of mechano-chemical properties of urine proteins as biomarkers of kidney diseases. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:229. [PMID: 32539773 PMCID: PMC7296939 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-01890-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteinuria is a major marker of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and the predictor of cardiovascular mortality. The rapid development of renal failure is expected in those patients who have higher level of proteinuria however, some patients may have slow decline of renal function despite lower level of urinary protein excretion. The different mechanical (visco-elastic) and chemical properties, as well as the proteome profiles of urinary proteins might explain their tubular toxicity mechanism. Brillouin light scattering (BLS) and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopies are non-contact, laser optical-based techniques providing visco-elastic and chemical property information of probed human biofluids. We proposed to study and compare these properties of urinary proteins using BLS and SERS spectroscopies in nephrotic patient and validate hybrid BLS-SERS spectroscopy in diagnostic of urinary proteins as well as their profiling. The project ultimately aims for the development of an optical spectroscopic sensor for rapid, non-contact monitoring of urine samples from patients in clinical settings. METHODS BLS and SERS spectroscopies will be used for non-contact assessment of urinary proteins in proteinuric patients and healthy subjects and will be cross-validated by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Participants will be followed-up during the 1 year and all adverse events such as exacerbation of proteinuria, progression of CKD, complications of nephrotic syndrome, disease relapse rate and inefficacy of treatment regimen will be registered referencing incident dates. Associations between urinary protein profiles (obtained from BLS and SERS as well as LC-MS) and adverse outcomes will be evaluated to identify most unfavored protein profiles. DISCUSSION This prospective study is focused on the development of non-contact hybrid BLS - SERS sensing tool and its clinical deployment for diagnosis and prognosis of proteinuria. We will identify the most important types of urine proteins based on their visco-elasticity, amino-acid profile and molecular weight responsible for the most severe cases of proteinuria and progressive renal function decline. We will aim for the developed hybrid BLS - SERS sensor, as a new diagnostic & prognostic tool, to be transferred to other biomedical applications. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial has been approved by ClinicalTrials.gov (Trial registration ID NCT04311684). The date of registration was March 17, 2020.

Abstract
Cancer is the second-leading cause of death worldwide. It affects an unfathomable number of people, with almost 16 million Americans currently living with it. While many cancers can be detected, current diagnostic efforts exhibit definite room for improvement. It is imperative that a person be diagnosed with cancer as early on in its progression as possible. An earlier diagnosis allows for the best treatment and intervention options available to be presented. Unfortunately, existing methods for diagnosing cancer can be expensive, invasive, inconclusive or inaccurate, and are not always made during initial stages of the disease. As such, there is a crucial unmet need to develop a singular universal method that is reliable, cost-effective, and non-invasive and can diagnose all forms of cancer early-on. Raman spectroscopy in combination with advanced statistical analysis is offered here as a potential solution for this need. This review covers recently published research in which Raman spectroscopy was used for the purpose of diagnosing cancer. The benefits and the risks of the methodology are presented; however, there is overwhelming evidence that suggests Raman spectroscopy is highly suitable for becoming the first universal method to be used for diagnosing cancer.

Raman spectral signatures of urinary extracellular vesicles from diabetic patients and hyperglycemic endothelial cells as potential biomarkers in diabetes. NANOMEDICINE-NANOTECHNOLOGY BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2019; 17:137-149. [PMID: 30703535 DOI: 10.1016/j.nano.2019.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2018] [Revised: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 01/15/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Raman spectroscopy was applied to the measurement of urinary and in vitro endothelium-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated by hydrostatic filtration dialysis (HFD) method. Raman spectra obtained for urinary EVs (UEVs) showed distinct differences in the fingerprint region. In contrast, average Raman spectra of endothelium-derived EVs samples were almost identical. Cluster Analysis of UEVs significantly discriminated diabetic samples from control, moreover endothelium-derived EVs revealed stronger similarity between long hyperglycemia and normoglycemia samples compared to short hyperglycemia. Results obtained from Partial Least Squares analysis corresponded well with integral intensities of selected bands. Our proof-of-concept approach demonstrates the potential for Raman spectroscopy to be used both for identification of EVs molecular signatures in urine samples from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and good glycemic control and unsatisfactory glycemic control as well as for in vitro hyperglycemic model. This noninvasive technique may be useful in identifying new biomarkers of diabetes and renal complications.

Abstract
Natural products have an important role as prototypes in the synthesis of new anticancer drugs. Piperine is an alkaloid amide with antitumor activity and significant toxicity. Then, the N-(p-nitrophenyl)acetamide piperinoate (HE-02) was synthesized, and tested for toxicological and antitumor effects. The toxicity was evaluated in vitro (on RAW 264.7 cells and mice erythrocytes) and in vivo (acute toxicity in mice). The Ehrlich ascites carcinoma model was used to evaluate the antitumor activity of HE-02 (6.25, 12.5 or 25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, i.p.), as well as toxicity. HE-02 induced only 5.01% of hemolysis, and reduced the viability of RAW 264.7 cells by 49.75% at 1000 µg/mL. LD50 (lethal dose 50%) was estimated at around 2000 mg/kg (i.p.). HE-02 reduced Ehrlich tumor cell viability and peritumoral microvessels density. There was an increase of Th1 helper T lymphocytes cytokine profile levels (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-12) and a decrease of Th2 cytokine profile (IL-4, IL-10). Moreover, an increase was observed on reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide production. Weak in vivo toxicological effects were recorded. Our data provide evidence that the piperine analogue HE-02 present low toxicity, and its antitumor effect involves modulation of immune system to a cytotoxic Th1 profile.

Abstract
The size-controllable and ordered Al nanocavities and nanodomes arrays were synthesized by electrochemical anodization of aluminum using phosphoric acid, citric acid and mixture both acids. Few layer graphene (FLG) was transferred directly on top of Al nanostructures and their morphology were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The interaction between FLG and the plasmonic properties of Al nanostructures arrays were investigated based on specular reflectivity in the ultraviolet-visible-infrared range and Raman spectroscopy. We found that their optical reflectivity was dramatically reduced as compared with unstructured Al. At the same time pronounced reflectivity dips were detectable in the 200-896 nm wavelength range, which were ascribed to plasmonic resonances. The plasmonic properties of these nanostructures do not exhibit evident changes by the presence of FLG in the UV-vis range of the electromagnetic spectrum. By contrast, the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of FLG was observed in nanocavities and nanodomes structures that result in an intensity increase of the characteristic G and 2D bands of FLG induced by the plasmonic properties of Al nanostructures.
