Label-free Chemical Imaging of Fungal Spore Walls by Raman Microscopy and Multivariate Curve Resolution Analysis
Fungal cell walls are medically important since they represent a drug target site for antifungal medication. So far there is no method to directly visualize structurally similar cell wall components such as α-glucan, β-glucan and mannan with high specificity, especially in a label-free manner. In this study, we have developed a Raman spectroscopy based molecular imaging method and combined mult...
متن کاملQuantitative vibrational imaging by hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and multivariate curve resolution analysis.
Spectroscopic imaging has been an increasingly critical approach for unveiling specific molecules in biological environments. Toward this goal, we demonstrate hyperspectral stimulated Raman loss (SRL) imaging by intrapulse spectral scanning through a femtosecond pulse shaper. The hyperspectral stack of SRL images is further analyzed by a multivariate curve resolution (MCR) method to reconstruct...
متن کاملIn situ label-free imaging of hemicellulose in plant cell walls using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy
BACKGROUND Plant hemicellulose (largely xylan) is an excellent feedstock for renewable energy production and second only to cellulose in abundance. Beyond a source of fermentable sugars, xylan constitutes a critical polymer in the plant cell wall, where its precise role in wall assembly, maturation, and deconstruction remains primarily hypothetical. Effective detection of xylan, particularly by...
متن کاملChemical imaging of poplar wood cell walls by confocal Raman microscopy.
Confocal Raman microscopy was used to illustrate changes of molecular composition in secondary plant cell wall tissues of poplar (Populus nigra x Populus deltoids) wood. Two-dimensional spectral maps were acquired and chemical images calculated by integrating the intensity of characteristic spectral bands. This enabled direct visualization of the spatial variation of the lignin content without ...
متن کاملLabel-free imaging of drug distribution and metabolism in colon cancer cells by Raman microscopy.
Targeted cancer therapies block cancer growth and spread using small molecules. Many molecular targets for an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) selectively compete with the adenosine triphosphate-binding site of its tyrosine kinase domain. Detection of molecular targeted agents and their metabolites in cells/tissues by label-free imaging is attractive because dyes or fluorescent labels ma...
