AB  - The heterogeneity of stem cells represents the main challenge in regenerative medicine development. This issue is particularly pronounced when it comes to the use of primary mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) due to a lack of identification markers. Considering the need for additional approaches in MSCs characterization, we applied Raman spectroscopy to investigate inter-individual differences between bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs). Based on standard biological tests, BM-MSCs of analyzed donors fulfill all conditions for their characterization, while no donor-related specifics were observed in terms of BM-MSCs morphology, phenotype, multilineage differentiation potential, colony-forming capacity, expression of pluripotency-associated markers or proliferative capacity. However, examination of BM-MSCs at a single-cell level by Raman spectroscopy revealed that despite similar biochemical background, fine differences in the Raman spectra of BM-MSCs of each donor can be detected. After extensive principal component analysis (PCA) of Raman spectra, our study revealed the possibility of this method to diversify BM-MSCs populations, whereby the grouping of cell populations was most prominent when cell populations were analyzed in pairs. These results indicate that Raman spectroscopy, as a label-free assay, could have a huge potential in understanding stem cell heterogeneity and sorting cell populations with a similar biochemical background that can be significant for the development of personalized therapy approaches.

AB  - We have employed micro-Raman spectroscopy to get insight into intrinsic biomolecular profile of individual mesenchymal stem cell isolated from periodontal ligament. Furthermore, these cells were stimulated towards adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages and their status of differentiation was assessed using micro-Raman spectroscopy. In both cases, glass coverslips were used as substrates, due to their wide availability and cost effectiveness. In all sample groups, the same type of behavior was observed, manifested as changes in Raman spectra: the increase of relative intensity of protein/lipid bands and decrease of nucleic acid bands. Comprehensive statistical analysis in the form of principal component analysis was performed, which revealed noticeable grouping of cells with the similar features. Despite the inhomogeneity of primary stem cells and their differentiated lineages, we demonstrated that micro-Raman spectroscopy is sufficient for distinguishing cells' status, which can be valuable for medical and clinical application.

AB  - In investigation of (patho)physiological processes, cells represent frequently used analyte as an exceptional source of information. However, spectroscopic analysis of live cells is still very seldom in clinics, as well as in research studies. Among others, the reasons are long acquisition time during which autolysis process is activated, necessity of specified technical equipment, and inability to perform analysis in a moment of sample preparation. Hence, an optimal method of preserving cells in the existing state is of extreme importance, having in mind that selection of fixative is cell lineage dependent. In this study, two commonly used chemical fixatives, formaldehyde and methanol, are used for preserving primary mesenchymal stem cells extracted from periodontal ligament, which are valuable cell source for reconstructive dentistry. By means of Raman spectroscopy, cell samples were probed and the impact of these fixatives on their Raman response was analyzed and compared. Different chemical mechanisms are the core processes of formaldehyde and methanol fixation and certain Raman bands are shifted and/or of changed intensity when Raman spectra of cells fixed in that manner are compared. In order to get clearer picture, comprehensive statistical analysis was performed.
