Identification of the metastatic potential represents one of the most important tasks for molecular imaging of cancer. While molecular imaging of metastases has witnessed substantial progress as an area of clinical inquiry, determining precisely what differentiates the metastatic phenotype has proven to be more elusive. In this study, we utilize both the morphological and molecular information provided by 3D optical diffraction tomography and Raman spectroscopy, respectively, to propose a label-free route for optical phenotyping of cancer cells at single-cell resolution. By using an isogenic panel of cell lines derived from MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells that vary in their metastatic potential, we show that 3D refractive index tomograms can capture subtle morphological differences among the parental, circulating tumor cells, and lung metastatic cells. By leveraging its molecular specificity, we demonstrate that coarse Raman microscopy is capable of rapidly mapping a sufficient number of cells for training a random forest classifier that can accurately predict the metastatic potential of cells at a single-cell level. We also perform multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares decomposition of the spectral dataset to demarcate spectra from cytoplasm and nucleus, and test the feasibility of identifying metastatic phenotypes using the spectra only from the cytoplasmic and nuclear regions. Overall, our study provides a rationale for employing coarse Raman mapping to substantially reduce measurement time thereby enabling the acquisition of reasonably large training datasets that hold the key for label-free single-cell analysis and, consequently, for differentiation of indolent from aggressive phenotypes. •Label-free morpho-molecular imaging, in combination with machine learning, allows phenotyping of isogenic breast cancer cells of varying metastatic potential.•Optical diffraction tomography captures subtle morphological differences consistent with the metastatic attributes of the panel of isogenic MDA-MB-231 cells.•Coarse Raman imaging provides sufficient biochemical information for predicting the metastatic phenotypes of single cancer cells using random forest classification.•MCR-ALS analysis allows a deeper understanding of the causal relationship with the sub-cellular components that determines the diagnostic power.
