To explore the effect in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells after treatment with chemodrugs, Raman profiles were characterized by laser tweezer Raman spectroscopy. Two NPC cell lines (CNE2 and C666-1) were treated with gemcitabine, cisplatin, and paclitaxel, respectively. The high-quality Raman spectra of cells without or with treatments were recorded at the single-cell level with label-free laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) and analyzed for the differences of alterations of Raman profiles. Tentative assignments of Raman peaks indicated that the cellular specific biomolecular changes associated with drug treatment include changes in protein structure (e.g. 1655 cm−1), changes in DNA/RNA content and structure (e.g. 830 cm−1), destruction of DNA/RNA base pairs (e.g. 785 cm−1), and reduction in lipids (e.g. 970 cm−1). Besides, both principal components analysis (PCA) combined with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and the classification and regression trees (CRT) algorithms were employed to further analyze and classify the spectral data between control group and treated group, with the best discriminant accuracy of 96.7% and 90.0% for CNE2 and C666-1 group treated with paclitaxel, respectively. This exploratory work demonstrated that LTRS technology combined with multivariate statistical analysis has promising potential to be a novel analytical strategy at the single-cell level for the evaluation of NPC-related chemotherapeutic drugs.
