A Tissue Section-Based Near-Infrared Spectroscopical Analysis of Salivary Gland Tumors. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13215356. [PMID: 34771520 PMCID: PMC8582474 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13215356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are a group of rare tumors that vary in clinical and histological behavior. Histological classification is difficult and requires an experienced pathologist. Based on recent research in other medical fields, this study investigated the value of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the diagnosis of SGTs supplementary to the histological investigation. The acquired spectra were analyzed with chemometric techniques. Enzymatic treatment (neuraminidase) resulted in spectral peak differences between healthy controls and different SGT types. Some malignant SGTs had higher spectral changes, suggesting bigger alterations in glycosylation of salivary mucins. Future biochemical research based on the further enzymatic dissection of SGTs and infrared spectroscopy could help pathologists to better understand the nature of these types of tumors. Abstract SGTs vary in histological behavior. Mucins, a major component in salivary glands, consist of a glycosylated and sialylated protein core. Rapid evolutions in glycobiology have demonstrated the important role of glycoproteins in cancer development. NIR spectroscopy is a method for the biochemical analysis of substrates. NIR spectra can be analyzed using specific chemometrics. Our aim was to explore the diagnostic possibilities of NIR spectroscopy in SGTs. 238 Hematoxylin and Eosine stained (H&E) SGT tissue sections were examined using NIR spectroscopy. 45 deparaffinized tissue sections were treated with neuraminidase to identify wavelengths in the NIR spectrum related to sialylation. NIR spectra were analyzed with chemometrics. NIR spectra could distinguish malignant SGTs from controls and benign SGTs. Prediction models based on the entire spectral range resulted in a 73.1% accurate classification of malignant SGTs and controls, while, based on neuraminidase experimental spectral peak differences (1436 nm; 1713 nm; 1783 nm; 1924 nm; 2032 nm; 2064 nm; 2178 nm; 2216 nm), an improved overall correct classification rate of 91.9% was obtained between healthy subjects and malignant tumors. H&E tissue section-based NIR spectroscopy can identify malignant SGTs from controls, promising an alternative method in the diagnosis of SGTs.

Abstract
Head and neck tumors can be very challenging to treat because of the risk of problems or complications after surgery. Therefore, prompt and accurate diagnosis is extremely important to drive appropriate treatment decisions, which may reduce the chance of recurrence. This paper presents the original research exploring the feasibility of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy (RS) methods to investigate biochemical alterations upon the development of the pleomorphic adenoma. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for a detailed assessment of the observed changes and to determine the spectroscopic basis for salivary gland neoplastic pathogenesis. It is implied that within the healthy margin, as opposed to the tumoral tissue, there are parts that differ significantly in lipid content. This observation shed new light on the crucial role of lipids in tissue physiology and tumorigenesis. Thus, a novel approach that eliminates the influence of lipids on the elucidation of biochemical changes is proposed. The performed analysis suggests that the highly heterogeneous healthy margin contains more unsaturated triacylglycerols, while the tumoral section is rich in proteins. The difference in protein content was also observed for these two tissue types, i.e. the healthy tissue possesses more proteins in the anti-parallel β-sheet conformation, whereas the tumoral tissue is dominated by proteins rich in unordered random coils. Furthermore, the pathogenic tissue shows a higher content of carbohydrates and reveals noticeable differences in nucleic acid content. Finally, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy methods were proposed as very promising methods in the discrimination of tumoral and healthy tissues of the salivary gland.

Abstract
We have developed a method for studying the lipid profile of saliva, combining preliminary extraction and IR spectroscopic detection. The case-control study involved patients with a histologically verified diagnosis of breast and prostate cancer and healthy volunteers. The comparison group included patients with non-malignant pathologies of the breast (fibroadenomas) and prostate gland (prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia). Saliva was used as a material for biochemical studies. It has been shown that the lipid profile of saliva depends on gender, and for males it also depends on the age group. In cancer pathologies, the lipid profile changes significantly and also depends on gender and age characteristics. The ratio of 1458/1396 cm-1 for both breast and prostate cancer has a potential diagnostic value. In both cases, this ratio decreases compared to healthy controls. For prostate cancer, the ratio of 2923/2957 cm-1 is also potentially informative, which grows against the background of prostate pathologies. It is noted that, in all cases, changes in the proposed ratios are more pronounced in the early stages of diseases, which increases the relevance of their study in biomedical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The process of malignant transformations of many tumour cases is still unclear and more specific experimental approaches are necessary. The detailed identification of the pathological changes may help in the therapy progression through the development of drugs with more selective action. METHODS In this study, the AFM-IR nanospectroscopy was applied for the first time to the pleomorphic adenoma (TM) and the marginal tissue characterizations. In order to verify the obtained spectral information, conventional FT-IR investigations were also performed. RESULTS The AFM-IR data (topographies, intensity maps, and spectra) show structural changes observed for the margin and TM samples. Additionally, within the tumour tissue the fibril-like areas, characteristic for amyloid diseases, were distinguished. CONCLUSIONS The application of AFM-IR allows to determine changes in the protein secondary structures between the fibrils and the regions outside them. It has been proved that, for the former areas, the α-helix/random coil/ β-sheet components dominate, while for the latter regions the α-helix/random coil indicate the main contribution to the protein composition. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The FT-IR results remain in good agreement with the AFM-IR data recorded for the areas outside the fibrils of the TM. This observation confirms that by means of the conventional FT-IR method the identification of the considered fibrils structure would be impossible. Only application of the AFM-IR nanospectroscopy allow for characterization and visualization of the fibrillization process occurring within the investigated tumour tissue.

Abstract
In the present study, human primary oral squamous carcinoma cells treated with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil were analyzed, for the first time, by in vitro FTIR Microspectroscopy (FTIRM), to improve the knowledge on the biochemical pathways activated by these two chemotherapy drugs. To date, most of the studies regarding FTIRM cellular analysis have been executed on fixed cells from immortalized cell lines. FTIRM analysis performed on primary tumor cells under controlled hydrated conditions provides more reliable information on the biochemical processes occurring in in vivo tumor cells. This spectroscopic analysis allows to get on the same sample and at the same time an overview of the composition and structure of the most remarkable cellular components. In vitro FTIRM analysis of primary oral squamous carcinoma cells evidenced a time-dependent drug-specific cellular response, also including apoptosis triggering. Furthermore, the univariate and multivariate analyses of IR data evidenced meaningful spectroscopic differences ascribable to alterations affecting cellular proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. These findings suggest for the two drugs different pathways and extents of cellular damage, not provided by conventional cell-based assays (MTT assay and image-based cytometry).
