Abstract

Drug resistance is influenced by molecular mechanisms that affect intracellular drug exposure and a drug’s ability to reach its protein target. Visualizing subcellular behavior of small-molecule drugs requires single-cell chemical analysis with high spatial and temporal resolution. In this work, we utilized label-free hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (hsSRS) microscopy to directly visualize and quantify tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drugs inside living cells. We report our live cell imaging acquisition and processing pipeline and demonstrate the capability of this hsSRS imaging method to characterize the roles of organic cation transporters (OCTs) on drug uptake. We observe significant transporter-dependent changes in intracellular drug concentration of multiple TKIs in response to the inhibition of OCTs.
