Abstract
Sulfhemoglobinemia is an incurable disease caused by an overdose of sulfur-containing drugs with oxidizing properties. Its diagnosis remains hindered due to the similarity of symptoms to other pathological state - methemoglobinemia, as well as contradictory information on the structure and characteristics of sulfhemoglobin. Herein, we present sulfhemoglobinemia model on living functional human erythrocytes, designed to recreate processes which could take place in a patient body in order to complement missing information and highlight distinctiveness of two hemoglobin (Hb) adducts formed after interaction with sulfur donors. Employed techniques, UV-Vis absorption, Raman, Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopies, allowed to distinguish and characterize Hb adduct with sulfur atom bounded directly to the iron ion (HbFeIII-SH), and irreversibly connected to the porphyrin ring (SHb - sulfhemoglobin). Presented herein results provided also new evidence on formation of both these hemoglobin adducts inside functional erythrocytes under oxidative conditions and during sulfur-containing drug presence, what can be further translated into future physiological studies. Moreover, we found that sulfur attachment to the porphyrin ring altered Hb structure and lead to changes in protein packing inside RBCs, eventually. Interestingly, measurement of blood drop smear by Raman spectroscopy occurred the most accurate method to differentiate HbFeIII-SH and SHb, indicating potential of this technique in sulfhemoglobinemia diagnosis.

Abstract
In previous studies, it has been suggested that the NO-synthase enzyme may be responsible for color formation in fermented sausages. Thus, this is the first study in which the aim was to analyze the effects of direct NO-synthase and arginine application to meat on its color after heating. Myoglobin forms as well as the presence of NO-myoglobin were investigated. The color of the meat and myoglobin forms present in the samples were mainly affected by pH differences, caused by a HEPES buffer or arginine. None of the variants demonstrated a bright pink color as in the case of the heated nitrite-cured sample. Based on analysis of the absorption spectra, it can be concluded that there is some evidence of nitroso-complex formation. Therefore, it is probable that optimizing the pH/time/temperature conditions for NO-synthase activity would allow to obtain a desirable color effect. NO-synthase could be used as an alternative curing ingredient.

Abstract
![]()
The UV–vis absorption, Raman
imaging, and resonance Raman
(rR) spectroscopy methods were employed to study cyanohemoglobin (HbCN)
adducts inside living functional red blood cells (RBCs). The cyanide
ligands are especially optically sensitive probes of the active site
environment of heme proteins. The rR studies of HbCN and its isotopic
analogues (13CN–, C15N–, and 13C15N–), as well as a careful deconvolution of spectral data, revealed
that the ν(Fe–CN) stretching, δ(Fe–CN) bending,
and ν(C≡N) stretching modes occur at 454, 382, and 2123
cm–1, respectively. Interestingly, while the ν(Fe–CN)
modes exhibit the same frequencies in both the isolated and RBC-enclosed
hemoglobin molecules, small frequency differences are observed in
the δ(Fe–CN) bending modes and the values of their isotopic
shifts. These studies show that even though the overall tilted conformation
of the Fe–C≡N fragment in the isolated HbCN is preserved
in the HbCN enclosed within living cells, there is a small difference
in the degree of distortion of the Fe–C≡N fragment.
The slight changes in the ligand geometry can be reasonably attributed
to the high ordering and tight packing of Hb molecules inside RBCs.

Abstract
This work presents a semi-quantitative spectroscopic approach, including FTIR-ATR and Raman spectroscopies, for the biochemical analysis of red blood cells (RBCs) supported by the biochemical, morphological and rheological reference techniques. This multi-modal approach provided the description of the RBC alterations at the molecular level in a model of accelerated aging induced by administration of D-galactose (D-gal), in comparison to natural aging. Such an approach allowed to conclude that most age-related biochemical RBC membrane changes (a decrease in lipid unsaturation and the level of phospholipids, or an increase in acyl chain shortening) as well as alterations in the morphological parameters and RBC deformability are well reflected in the D-gal model of accelerated aging. Similarly, as in natural aging, a decrease in LDL level in blood plasma and no changes in the fraction of glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL, iron, or triglycerides were observed during the course of accelerated aging. Contrary to natural aging, the D-gal model led to an increase in cholesterol esters and the fraction of total esterified lipids in RBC membranes, and evoked significant changes in the secondary structure of the membrane proteins. Moreover, a significant decrease in the phosphorous level of blood plasma was specific for the D-gal model. On the other hand, natural aging induced stronger changes in the secondary structures of the proteins of the RBCs' interior. This work proves that research on the aging mechanism, especially in circulation-related diseases, should employ the D-gal model with caution. Nonetheless, the D-gal model enables to imitate age-related rheological alterations in RBCs, although they are partially derived from different changes observed in the RBC membrane at the molecular level.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a key component of respiratory system and as such plays important role in human physiology. The studies of Hb's structure and functions are usually performed on cell-free protein; however, it has been shown that there are functionally relevant differences between isolated Hb and Hb present inside red blood cells (RBCs). It is clear that new experimental approaches are needed to understand the origin of these differences and to gain insight into the structure-function relationship of Hb within intact living cells. In this work we present a novel application of Resonance Raman spectroscopy to study heme active site of different forms of human Hb within living RBCs using laser excitation lines in resonance with their Soret absorption bands. These studies revealed that there are no significant changes in the disposition of the Fe-O-O fragment or the Fe-NHis linkage for Hb molecules enclosed in RBCs and these in free isolated states. However, some changes in the orientation of the heme vinyl groups were observed which might account for the differences in the protein activity and ligand affinity. This work highlights importance of protein-based studies and presents a new opportunity to translate these results to physiological cell systems.

Abstract
The ability of hemoglobin (Hb) to transport respiratory gases is directly linked to its quaternary structure properties and reversible changes between T (tense) and R (relax) state. In this study we demonstrated that packed red blood cells (pRBCs) storage resulted in a gradual increase in the irreversible changes in the secondary and quaternary structures of Hb, with subsequent impairment of the T↔R transition. Such alteration was associated with the presence of irreversibly settled in the relaxed form, quaternary structure of Hb, which we termed R'. On the secondary structure level, disordered protein organization involved formation of β-sheets and a decrease in α-helices related to the aggregation process stabilized by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Compensatory changes in RBCs metabolism launched to preserve reductive microenvironment were disclosed as an activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) production and increased reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio. For the first time we showed the relationship between secondary structure changes and the occurrence of newly discovered R', which through an artificial increase in oxyhemoglobin level altered Hb ability to bind and release oxygen.

Abstract
A new type of aggregate, formed in human red blood cells (RBCs) in response to glutaraldehyde treatment, was discovered and analyzed with the classical and advanced biomolecular imaging techniques. Advanced Heinz body-like aggregates (AHBA) formed in a single human RBC are characterized by a higher level of hemoglobin (Hb) degradation compared to typical Heinz bodies, which consist of hemichromes. The complete destruction of the porphyrin structure of Hb and the aggregation of the degraded proteins in the presence of Fe3+ ions are observed. The presence of such aggregated, highly degraded proteins inside RBCs, without cell membrane destruction, has been never reported before. For the first time the spatial differentiation of two kinds of protein mixtures inside a single RBC, with different phenylalanine (Phe) conformations, is visualized. The non-resonant Raman spectra of altered RBCs with AHBA are characterized by the presence of a strong band located at 1037 cm-1, which confirms that glutaraldehyde interacts strongly with Phe. The shape-shifting of RBCs from a biconcave disk to a spherical structure and sinking of AHBA to the bottom of the cell are observed. Results reveal that the presence of AHBA should be considered when fixing RBCs and indicate the analytical potential of Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning near-field optical microscopy in AHBA detection and analysis.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most refractory types of brain tumor. Accurate tumor boundary identification and complete resection of the tumor are essential for glioma removal during brain surgery. We present a method based on visible resonance Raman (VRR) spectroscopy to identify glioma margins and grades. A set of diagnostic spectral biomarkers features are presented based on tissue composition changes revealed by VRR. The Raman spectra include molecular vibrational fingerprints of carotenoids, tryptophan, amide I/II/III, proteins, and lipids. These basic in situ spectral biomarkers are used to identify the tissue from the interface between brain cancer and normal tissue and to evaluate glioma grades. The VRR spectra are also analyzed using principal component analysis for dimension reduction and feature detection and support vector machine for classification. The cross-validated sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are found to be 100%, 96.3%, and 99.6% to distinguish glioma tissues from normal brain tissues, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the classification is about 1.0. The accuracies to distinguish normal, low grade (grades I and II), and high grade (grades III and IV) gliomas are found to be 96.3%, 53.7%, and 84.1% for the three groups, respectively, along with a total accuracy of 75.1%. A set of criteria for differentiating normal human brain tissues from normal control tissues is proposed and used to identify brain cancer margins, yielding a diagnostic sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 71%. Our study demonstrates the potential of VRR as a label-free optical molecular histopathology method used for in situ boundary line judgment for brain surgery in the margins.

Abstract
This work presents the potential of vibrational spectroscopy, Vis and NIR Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in reflection and transmission modes, and nano-FTIR microscopy to study the biochemical alterations in membranes of isolated and intact red blood cells (RBCs). The main goal was to propose the best spectroscopic method which enabled following biochemical alterations in the RBC membranes and then to translate this spectroscopic signature of degradation to in situ analysis of RBCs. Two models corresponding to two distinct cases of RBC membrane conditions were employed, and they were derived from healthy and young mice and mature mice with advanced atherosclerosis. It was shown that each technique provided essential information about biochemical alterations of the isolated membranes as well as membranes in the intact RBCs, which can be used in the development of a rapid and in situ analytical technology. Finally, we proposed that the combination of macro- and nanoprobing implemented in IR spectroscopy provided a wide chemical characterization of the RBC membranes, including alterations in lipid and protein fractions. This study also examined the effect of the sample preparation to determine destructive factors influencing a spectroscopic analysis of isolated membranes and intact RBCs derived from healthy and disease-affected mice.

Abstract
The work presents the complementary approach to characterize the formation of various Hb species inside isolated human RBCs exposed to NO, with a focus on the formed Hb-NO adducts. This work presents a complementary approach based on Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (RRS) supported by Blood Gas Analysis, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy and Mössbauer Spectroscopy to characterize the formation of various Hb species, with a focus on the Hb-NO adducts formed inside isolated human RBCs exposed to NO, under the experimental conditions of low and high levels of oxygen Hb saturation. In the present work, we induced Hb-NO adducts using PAPA-NONOate, a NO-donor with known chemistry and kinetics of NO release, and confirmed the formation of Hb-NO adducts in RBCs incubated with Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAECs) stimulated to produce NO. Our results provide a new insight into the formation of Hb-NO adducts after the exposure of RBCs with high oxyHb content to exogenous NO with special attention to the formation of LSHbIIINO in addition to LSHbIINO and metHb (HS/LSHbIIIH2O). We also point out that reliable characterization of Hb-NO adducts requires complementary techniques. Among them, RRS, as a label-free and non-destructive tool, appears to be an important discrimination technique in the studies of Hb-NO adducts inside intact RBCs.

Abstract
Herein, we provide the Raman imaging results for different stages of erythrophagocytosis of senescent red blood cells executed by isolated murine primary Kupffer cells and a murine macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7). Images were recorded with the use of 488 and 532 nm excitation lines. The use of Resonance Raman spectroscopy allowed the visualization of the heme metabolism and tracking of the systemic iron recycling process inside isolated murine Kupffer cells and RAW.264 cells. Because of the application of the different experimental assays, the erythrophagocytosis in two types of cells was presented and associated with the presence of different forms of oxidized and degradative derivatives of hemoglobin species. Moreover, we observed an increase of lipid level and later formation of lipid droplets during the erythrophagocytosis process inside RAW 264.7 macrophages and murine Kupffer cells.
