Abstract
Glucose is the main source of energy for the human brain. This paper presents a non-invasive technique to study metabolic changes caused by glucose in human brain cell lines. In this paper we present the spectroscopic characterization of human normal brain (NHA; astrocytes) and human cancer brain (CRL-1718; astrocytoma and U-87 MG; glioblastoma) control cell lines and cell lines upon supplementation with glucose. Based on Raman techniques we have identified biomarkers that can monitor metabolic changes in lipid droplets, mitochondria and nucleus caused by glucose. We have studied the vibrations at 750 cm-1, 1444 cm-1, 1584 cm-1 and 1656 cm-1 as a function of malignancy grade. We have compared the concentration of cytochrome, lipids and proteins in the grade of cancer aggressiveness in normal and cancer human brain cell lines. Chemometric analysis has shown that control normal, control cancer brain cell lines and normal and cancer cell lines after supplementation with glucose can be distinguished based on their unique vibrational properties. PLSDA (Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis) and ANOVA tests have confirmed the main role of cytochromes, proteins and lipids in differentiation of control human brain cells and cells upon supplementation with glucose. We have shown that Raman techniques combined with chemometric analysis provide additional insight to monitor the biology of astrocytes, astrocytoma and glioblastoma after glucose supplementation.
