Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Malignancies cause significant mortality, with macroscopic evaluation of surgical margins being unreliable.
  • Emerging big data imaging techniques like mass spectrometry and various spectroscopy methods offer new diagnostic possibilities.
  • While indocyanine green labeling is common, label-free mid-infrared imaging presents a more promising future for practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a label-free infrared spectroscopy method for differentiating transformed (cancerous) and non-transformed (normal) cell lines.
  • To assess the feasibility of using transflection spectroscopy in the mid-infrared range for cell classification.
  • To identify optimal spectral regions and data processing techniques for accurate cell line separation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a novel setup for label-free mid-infrared transflection spectroscopy on aluminum-coated glass slides.
  • Analyzed both whole-range (4000-648 cm⁻¹) and fingerprint (1800-648 cm⁻¹) spectra of fixed cell lines (A-375, HT-29, CCD986SK).
  • Applied mean transmission filtering, principal component analysis (PCA), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for spectral data processing and classification.

Main Results:

  • Successfully excluded non-cell spectra based on mean transmission values (>90%).
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of separating different cell lines using spectral filtering and chemometric analysis (PCA/LDA).
  • Achieved high classification accuracy (99.84%) by focusing on the fingerprint spectral region within a specific mean transmittance range (70-75%).

Conclusions:

  • The developed label-free infrared spectroscopy approach can accurately differentiate cell lines from various tissue origins in vitro.
  • Effective data handling and spectral processing are crucial for adapting this dye-free technique for intraoperative use.
  • Further research is essential to validate this marker-free approach in real-time surgical settings.
