Abstract
SERS is a rapidly advancing and non-destructive technique that has been proven to be more reliable and convenient than other traditional analytical methods. Due to its sensitivity and specificity, this technique is earning its place as a routine and powerful tool in biological and medical studies, especially for the analysis of living cells and subcellular components. This paper reviewed the research progress of single-cell SERS that has been made in the last few years and discussed challenges and future perspectives of this technique. The reviewed SERS platforms have been categorized according to their nature into the following types: (1) colloid-based, substrate-based, or hybrid; (2) ligand-based or ligand-free, and (3) label-based or label-free. The advantages and disadvantages of each type and their potential applications in various fields are thoroughly discussed.

SERS uncovers the link between conformation of cytochrome c heme and mitochondrial membrane potential. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 196:133-144.

Abstract
The balance between the mitochondrial respiratory chain activity and the cell's needs in ATP ensures optimal cellular function. Cytochrome c is an essential component of the electron transport chain (ETC), which regulates ETC activity, oxygen consumption, ATP synthesis and can initiate apoptosis. The impact of conformational changes in cytochrome c on its function is not understood for the lack of access to these changes in intact mitochondria. We have developed a novel sensor that uses unique properties of label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to identify conformational changes in heme of cytochrome c and to elucidate their role in functioning mitochondria. We have verified that molecule bond vibrations assessed by SERS are a reliable indicator of the heme conformation during changes in the inner mitochondrial membrane potential and ETC activity. We have demonstrated that cytochrome c heme reversibly switches between planar and ruffled conformations in response to the inner mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) and H+ concentration in the intermembrane space. This regulates the efficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, thus, adjusting the mitochondrial respiration to the cell's consumption of ATP and the overall activity. We have found that under hypertensive conditions cytochrome c heme loses its sensitivity to ΔΨ that can affect the regulation of ETC activity. The ability of the proposed SERS-based sensor to track mitochondrial function opens broad perspectives in cell bioenergetics.

Abstract
Successful synthesis of glyconanoparticles has attracted much attention due to their various biointeractive capabilities, but it is still a challenge to understand different single-cell responses to exogenous particles among cell populations. Herein, we designed polyaniline-containing galactosylated gold nanoparticles (Au@PGlyco NPs) via in situ polymerization of ortho-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside assisted by Au nucleation. The nanogold-carrying polyaniline block produced electromagnetic enhancement in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The underlying polymerization mechanism of ortho-nitrophenyl compounds via the formation of Au nanoparticles was investigated. Depending on how the galactoside moiety reacted with β-galactosidase derived from bacteria, the Au@PGlyco NPs-mediated SERS biosensor could detect low amounts of bacteria (∼1 × 102 CFU/mL). In addition, a high accumulation of Au@PGlyco NPs mediated the immune response of tumor-associated M2 macrophages to the immunogenic M1 macrophage transition, which was elicited by reactive oxygen levels biostimulation using single-cell SERS-combined fluorescence imaging. Our study suggested that Au@PGlyco NPs may serve as a biosensing platform with the labeling capacity on galactose-binding receptors expressed cell and immune regulation.
