revision received Jly 1, 199 ABSTRACT Forier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was applied to the stdy of tisse sections of hman colorectal cancer Pairs of tisse samples from colorectal cancer and histologically normal mcosa 5-1 cm away from the tmor were obtained from patients who nderwent partial colectomy All cancer specimens displayed abnormal spectra compared with the corresponding normal tisses These changes involved the phosphate and C-O stretching bands, the CH stretch region, and the pressre dependence of the CH2 bending and C=-O stretching modes Or findings indicate that in colonic malignant tisse, there are changes in the degree of hydrogen-bonding of (i) oxygen atoms of the backbone of ncleic acids (increased); (ii)oh grops of serine, tyrosine, and threonine resides (any or all of them) of cell proteins (decreased); and (iii) the C=O grops of the acyl chains of membrane lipids (increased) In addition, they indicate changes in the strctre of proteins and membrane lipids (as jdged by the changes in their ratio of methyl to methylene grops) and in the packing and the conformational strctre of the methylene chains of membrane lipids The cell(s) of the malignant colon tisses responsible for these spectral abnormalities is nknown Cltred colon adenocarcinoma cell lines displayed similarly abnormal FT-IR spectra The diagnostic potential of the observed changes is discssed In recent years spectral methods have been sed in the evalation of malignancy, and some attempts have been made to tilize them as a diagnostic tool Most of the work involves NMR spectroscopy (1-3); however, the initial enthsiasm for the diagnostic seflness of NMR has sbsided considerably (4) Infrared spectroscopy is becoming an increasingly powerfl tool for the stdy of the composition and strctre of celllar components within intact tisses (5-7) Crrently, methodological and technological advances are greatly enhancing the sensitivity of infrared spectroscopy In particlar, appreciation of the role of pressre on spectral parameters sch as freqency, intensity, band shape, and band splitting and the conseqent advances in high-pressre instrmentation have frther facilitated the analysis of vibrational spectra (8-1) In this paper we report or findings from the analysis of hman colon cancer tisses by Forier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy that was also combined with the se of high-pressre (pressre-tning) infrared spectroscopy, when appropriate Or data, showing clear-ct spectral differences between normal and malignant colonic tisse, sggest the potential applicability of this approach to a host of biological problems The pblication costs of this article were defrayed in part by page charge payment This article mst therefore be hereby marked "advertisement" in accordance with 18 USC 1734 solely to indicate this fact PATINTS AND MTHODS Patients The patients whose tisse samples were stdied nderwent partial large-bowel resection for colorectal cancer at North Shore University Hospital-Cornell University Medical College, Manhasset, NY Five were women and 6 were men; their average age was 75 years (range, 59-84) Staging of tmors sing the modified Dkes' classification () showed 1 patient with stage A tmor, 3 with stage B1, 5 with stage B2, and 2 with stage C Tisse samples were obtained immediately after bowel resection From each patient, samples were obtained from both the tmor itself and the normal-appearing mcosa 5-1 cm away from the tmor, frozen in liqid nitrogen, and stored at -18 C ntil sed ach tisse sample was ct into several pairs of small segments (thickness, -1 mm; srface area, =z-2 mm2) One member of each pair was sed for spectroscopic stdies From the other member of the pair, 5-,mthick microtome sections were ct from the side facing the companion tisse segment sed in spectroscopy These sections were fixed in formaldehyde, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined histologically by two pathologists The composition of each tisse section was scored blindly as a percentage of malignant and normal segments In this way we were able to monitor as closely as possible the histological composition of each tisse section examined spectroscopically Technical aspects of tisse sample collection for these stdies are described elsewhere (12) FT-IR Spectroscopy Small amonts (typically 1 mg) of tisse samples were placed at room temperatre, together with powdered a-qartz, in a 37-mm-diameter hole in a 23-mm-thick stainless steel gasket monted on a diamond anvil cell Pressres at the sample were determined from the 695-cm-1 infrared absorption band of a-qartz as described (13) FT-IR spectra at varios pressres in kbars (1 bar = 1 kpa) were measred with a Digilab FTS-6 Forier transform spectrometer sing a liqid nitrogen-cooled mercrycadmim-tellride detector For each spectrm, 512 scans were coadded at a spectral resoltion of 4 cm-' Data redction was performed with software developed in or Ottawa laboratory Cell Lines Hman colon cell lines from the American Type Cltre Collection were maintained in cltre following standard protocols and the instrctions of American Type Cltre Collection They inclded LoVo, HCT15, HT29, SW16, SW43, SW48 (all colon adenocarcinomas) and CCD-18Co (normal hman colon fibroblast) Cells were harvested from conflent plates either by trypsinization or gentle scraping of the tisse cltre plates Control experiments revealed that the infrared spectra of these cells were Abbreviation: FT-IR, Forier-transform infrared spectroscopy tto whom reprint reqests shold be addressed at: Division of Digestive Diseases F-231, New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, 525 ast 68th Street, New York, NY

however, this decrease was more prononced in malignant tisses The latter finding indicates that the hydrogenbonding of the acyl C=O grops is stronger in malignant tisses compared with normal tisses (17, 18) IR Spectra of Colon Cell Lines To frther evalate these findings, an infrared spectroscopic stdy of a series of cltred hman colon cell lines was ndertaken Details will be given elsewhere Many of the infrared spectroscopic featres are common to both the cltred cell lines and the colonic tisses that we stdied For instance, the vc-o bands of cltred colon fibroblasts and the LoVo cell line are compared in Fig These spectra are similar to those of colonic tisse shown in Fig 4A DISCUSSION Or data demonstrate that colorectal cancers display abnormal FT-IR spectra compared with normal control tisse from the same individal The entire spectrm of the evoltion of colon cancer-ie, the varios forms of adenoma -have not been examined yet to know whether they also manifest these spectral abnormalities The spectral changes that we have observed reflect alterations in the strctre of important informational and strctral molecles in the malignant tisse They involve the degree of hydrogen-bonding of (i) oxygen atoms of the backbone of ncleic acids (they are the two oxygen atoms bond to P that do not participate in the phosphodiester bond); (ii) C-O grops in cell proteins; and (iii) the C=O grops of the acyl chains of membrane lipids There are also additional changes in the strctre of proteins and membrane lipids, as jdged by the changes in their ratio of methyl to methylene grops Finally, the packing and the conformational strctre of the methylene chains of membrane lipids are changed in colonic malignant tisse Althogh or findings do not allow a more specific assignment of these changes, nevertheless they indicate extensive chemical and physical changes in the malignant colonic tisse, and, in a way, attest to the complexity of the malignant phenotype It is interesting to note that the severe redction in hydrogen bonding of C-O grops of proteins in malignant colon tisse can involve only three amino acids-namely, tyrosine, serine, and threonine The OH grops of these three amino acids, which form the C-O bonds monitored here, are phosphorylated by several oncoproteins, an event considered important in carcinogenesis (21) We do not know the cell type responsible for the changes in the FT-IR spectra of malignant colonic tisses There are two reasons to sspect that these changes may originate in the malignant colonocyte per se: (i) the integrated intensity of the C-O band in malignant tisse changes in tandem with the proportion of malignant cells present in a given tisse section, and (ii) the spectral characteristics of cltred colon cancer cell lines are, in general, similar to those observed in tisse Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 87 (199) sections Regarding the latter point, however, it shold be noted that, besides the general problem of extrapolating tisse cltre findings into intact tisses, or colon cancer cell lines were compared with normal colonic fibroblasts (for lack of a reliable cltre colonic epithelial cell) Ongoing work is attempting to assess directly the celllar origin of the observed spectral abnormalities Whatever the exact natre of the physical and chemical alterations in the malignant colonic tisses, or stdy has two practical implications First, it demonstrates that it is feasible to apply prodctively pressre-tning FT-IR spectroscopy to the stdy of hman tisses This approach provides the opportnity to monitor simltaneosly several chemical and physical parameters of a tisse with very small samples Second, it sggests that determination of these spectra may be of some se in rapid evalation of the malignant phenotype in colonic tisse and perhaps other tisses We thank Drs C J McDogall and S-S Ngoi for their assistance dring an early stage of this work;
