Biochemical changes in lipid and protein metabolism caused by mannose-Raman spectroscopy studies

Abstract

Biochemical analysis of human normal bronchial cells (BEpiC) and human cancer lung cells (A549) has been performed by using Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging. Our approach provides a biochemical compositional mapping of the main cell components: nucleus, mitochondria, lipid droplets, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm and cell membrane. We proved that Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging can distinguish successfully BEpiC and A549 cells. In this study, we have focused on the role of mannose in cancer development. It has been shown that changes in the concentration of mannose can regulate some metabolic processes in cells. Presented results suggest lipids and proteins can be considered as Raman biomarkers during lung cancer progression. Analysis obtained for bands 1444 cm−1, and 2854 cm−1 characteristic for lipids and derivatives proved that the addition of mannose reduced levels of these compounds. Results obtained for protein compounds based on bands 858 cm−1, 1004 cm−1 and 1584 cm−1 proved that the addition of mannose increases the values of protein in BEpiC cells and blocks protein glycolisation in A549 cells. Noticing Raman spectral changes in BEpiC and A549 cells supplemented with mannose can help to understand the mechanism of sugar metabolism during cancer development and could play in the future an important role in clinical treatment.
