    Quantitative Raman spectroscopy provides information-rich imaging of complex tissues. To illustrate its ability to characterise early-stage disease, we compared live P4E6, a low-grade Gleason-3 prostate-cancer cell line, to PNT2-C2, a normal prostate cell-line equivalent, thereby elucidating key molecular and mechanistic differences. Spectral changes from statistically relevant population sampling show P4E6 is defined by reduced DNA/RNA signatures (primarily base-pair modifications), increased protein-related signatures (synthesis), decreased whole-cell measured saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and increased cholesterol and cholesterol ester (lipid storage). Signatures in the live-cell disease state point to the Warburg effect for aerobic glycolysis as the mechanism for cellular energy generation. A follow-on study involving catastrophic desiccation showed a key survival pathway in the cancer state in the structural robustness of DNA/RNA. Metabolic changes, namely in Warburg-to-oxidative-phosphorylation rerouting and reduced protein synthesis, were also shown. Such modifications limit cancer's resistance to oxidative damage, and thus its ability to utilise a higher redox homeostasis for metabolic advantage. The results demonstrate the ability of quantitative Raman spectroscopy to uncover, with full molecular-heterogeneity capture, mechanistic vulnerabilities in lowest-grade tumorigenic prostate cancer, thereby revealing underlying targets for disease disruption at early stage.
