Abstract
In order to overcome the limitations of classic imaging in Histology during the actually era of multiomics, the multi-color "molecular microscope" by its emerging "molecular pictures" offers quantitative and spatial information about thousands of molecular profiles without labeling of potential targets. Healthy and diseased human tissues, as well as those of diverse invertebrate and vertebrate animal models, including genetically engineered species and cultured cells, can be easily analyzed by histology-directed MALDI imaging mass spectrometry. The aims of this review are to discuss a range of proteomic information emerging from MALDI mass spectrometry imaging comparative to classic histology, histochemistry and immunohistochemistry, with applications in biology and medicine, concerning the detection and distribution of structural proteins and biological active molecules, such as antimicrobial peptides and proteins, allergens, neurotransmitters and hormones, enzymes, growth factors, toxins and others. The molecular imaging is very well suited for discovery and validation of candidate protein biomarkers in neuroproteomics, oncoproteomics, aging and age-related diseases, parasitoproteomics, forensic, and ecotoxicology. Additionally, in situ proteome imaging may help to elucidate the physiological and pathological mechanisms involved in developmental biology, reproductive research, amyloidogenesis, tumorigenesis, wound healing, neural network regeneration, matrix mineralization, apoptosis and oxidative stress, pain tolerance, cell cycle and transformation under oncogenic stress, tumor heterogeneity, behavior and aggressiveness, drugs bioaccumulation and biotransformation, organism's reaction against environmental penetrating xenobiotics, immune signaling, assessment of integrity and functionality of tissue barriers, behavioral biology, and molecular origins of diseases. MALDI MSI is certainly a valuable tool for personalized medicine and "Eco-Evo-Devo" integrative biology in the current context of global environmental challenges.

Abstract
![]()
Diffuse
large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common B-cell
non-Hodgkin lymphoma. To treat this aggressive disease, R-CHOP, a
combination of immunotherapy (R; rituximab) and chemotherapy (CHOP;
cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone), remains
the most commonly used regimen for newly diagnosed DLBCLs. However,
up to one-third of patients ultimately becomes refractory to initial
therapy or relapses after treatment, and the high mortality rate highlights
the urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches based upon selective
molecular targets. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms
underlying relapsed DLBCL, we studied differences in the lipid and
metabolic composition of nontreated and R-CHOP-resistant tumors, using
a combination of in vivo DLBCL xenograft models and mass spectrometry
imaging. Together, these techniques provide information regarding
analyte composition and molecular distributions of therapy-resistant
and sensitive areas. We found specific lipid and metabolic profiles
for R-CHOP-resistant tumors, such as a higher presence of phosphatidylinositol
and sphingomyelin fragments. In addition, we investigated intratumor
heterogeneity and identified specific lipid markers of viable and
necrotic areas. Furthermore, we could monitor metabolic changes and
found reduced adenosine triphosphate and increased adenosine monophosphate
in the R-CHOP-resistant tumors. This work highlights the power of
combining in vivo imaging and MSI to track molecular signatures in
DLBCL, which has potential application for other diseases.

Abstract
The identification of molecular ions produced by MALDI or ESI strongly relies on their fragmentation to structurally informative fragments. The widely diffused fragmentation techniques for ESI multiply charged ions are either incompatible (ECD and ETD) or show lower efficiency (CID, HCD), with the predominantly singly charged peptide and protein ions formed by MALDI. In-source decay has been successfully adopted to sequence MALDI-generated ions, but it further increases spectral complexity, and it is not compatible with mass-spectrometry imaging. Excellent UVPD performances, in terms of number of fragment ions and sequence coverage, has been demonstrated for electrospray ionization for multiple proteomics applications. UVPD showed a much lower charge-state dependence, and so protein ions produced by MALDI may exhibit equal propensity to fragment. Here we report UVPD implementation on an Orbitrap Q-Exactive Plus mass spectrometer equipped with an ESI/EP-MALDI. UVPD of MALDI-generated ions was benchmarked against MALDI-ISD, MALDI-HCD, and ESI-UVPD. MALDI-UVPD outperformed MALDI-HCD and ISD, efficiently sequencing small proteins ions. Moreover, the singly charged nature of MALDI-UVPD avoids the bioinformatics challenges associated with highly congested ESI-UVPD mass spectra. Our results demonstrate the ability of UVPD to further improve tandem mass spectrometry capabilities for MALDI-generated protein ions. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD011526.

Abstract
Recent advances in the understanding of basic pathological mechanisms in various neurological diseases depend directly on the development of novel bioanalytical technologies that allow sensitive and specific chemical imaging at high resolution in cells and tissues. Mass spectrometry-based molecular imaging (IMS) has gained increasing popularity in biomedical research for mapping the spatial distribution of molecular species in situ. The technology allows for comprehensive, untargeted delineation of in situ distribution profiles of metabolites, lipids, peptides and proteins. A major advantage of IMS over conventional histochemical techniques is its superior molecular specificity. Imaging mass spectrometry has therefore great potential for probing molecular regulations in CNS-derived tissues and cells for understanding neurodegenerative disease mechanism. The goal of this review is to familiarize the reader with the experimental workflow, instrumental developments and methodological challenges as well as to give a concise overview of the major advances and recent developments and applications of IMS-based protein and peptide profiling with particular focus on neurodegenerative diseases. This article is part of the Special Issue "Proteomics".

Abstract
Glioma is the most prevalent malignant brain tumor. A comprehensive analysis of the glioma metabolome is still lacking. This study aims to explore new special metabolites in glioma tissues. A non-targeted human glioma metabolomics was performed by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. The gene expressions of 18 enzymes associated with 3’-phosphoadenylate (pAp) metabolism was examined by qRT-PCR. Those enzymes cover the primary metabolic pathway of pAp. We identified 15 new metabolites (13 lipids and 2 nucleotides) that were significantly different between the glioma and control tissues. Glycerophosphatidylcholine [PC(36:1)] content was high and pAp content was significantly low in the control brain (p < 0.01). In glioma tissues, PC(36:1) was not detected and pAp content was significantly increased. The gene expressions of 3′-nucleotidases (Inositol monophosphatase (IMPAD-1) and 3′(2′),5′-bisphosphate nucleotidase 1(BPNT-1)) were dramatically down-regulated. Meanwhile, the gene expression of 8 sulfotransferases (SULT), 2 phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate synthases (PAPSS-1 and PAPSS-2) and L-aminoadipate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase-phosphopante-theinyl transferase (AASDHPPT) were up-regulated. PC(36:1) absence and pAp accumulation are the most noticeable metabolic aberration in glioma. The dramatic down-regulation of IMPAD-1 and BPNT-1 are the primary cause for pAp dramatic accumulation. Our findings suggest that differential metabolites discovered in glioma could be used as potentially novel therapeutic targets or diagnostic biomarkers and that abnormal metabolism of lipids and nucleotides play roles in the pathogenesis of glioma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a label free, multiplex imaging technology able to simultaneously record the distributions of 100's to 1000's of species, and which may be configured to study metabolites, lipids, glycans, peptides, and proteins simply by changing the tissue preparation protocol. Areas covered: The capability of MSI to complement established histopathological practice through the identification of biomarkers for differential diagnosis, patient prognosis, and response to therapy; the capability of MSI to annotate tissues on the basis of each pixel's mass spectral signature; the development of reproducible MSI through multicenter studies. Expert commentary: We discuss how MSI can be combined with microsampling/microdissection technologies in order to investigate, with more depth of coverage, the molecular changes uncovered by MSI.

Abstract
Purpose Medulloblastoma, the most common primary pediatric malignant brain tumor, originates in the posterior fossa of the brain. Pineoblastoma, which originates within the pineal gland, is a rarer malignancy that also presents in the pediatric population. Medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma exhibit overlapping clinical features and have similar histopathological characteristics. Histopathological similarities confound rapid diagnoses of these two tumor types. We have conducted a pilot feasibility study analyzing the molecular profile of archived frozen human tumor specimens using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to identify potential biomarkers capable of classifying and distinguishing between medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma. Methods We performed matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry imaging on eight medulloblastoma biopsy specimens and three pineoblastoma biopsy specimens. Multivariate statistical analyses were performed on the MSI dataset to generate classifiers that distinguish the two tumor types. Lastly, the molecules that were discriminative of tumor type were queried against the Lipid Maps database and identified. Results In this pilot study we show that medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma can be discriminated using molecular profiles determined by MSI. The highest-ranking discriminating classifiers of medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma were glycerophosphoglycerols and sphingolipids, respectively. Conclusion We demonstrate proof-of-concept that medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma can be rapidly distinguished by using MSI lipid profiles. We identified biomarker candidates capable of distinguishing these two histopathologically similar tumor types. This work expands the current molecular knowledge of medulloblastoma and pineoblastoma by characterizing their lipidomic profiles, which may be useful for developing novel diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The human subventricular zone (SVZ) has a defined cytological and neurochemical architecture, with four constituent laminae that act in concert to support its neurogenic activity. Lipidomic specialisation has previously been demonstrated in the neurologically normal human SVZ, with enrichment of functionally important lipid classes in each lamina. The SVZ is also responsive to neurodegenerative disorders, where thickening of the niche and enhanced proliferation of resident cells were observed in Huntington's disease (HD) brains. In this study, we hypothesised lipidomic changes in the HD SVZ. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry, this analysis shows differences in the lipidomic architecture in the post-mortem Vonsattel grade III cases. Relative to matched, neurologically normal specimens (N = 4), the lipidomic signature of the HD SVZ (N = 4) was characterized by loss of sulfatides and triglycerides in the myelin layer, with an ectopic and focal accumulation of sphingomyelins and ceramide-1-phosphate observed in this lamina. A striking loss of lipidomic patterning was also observed in the ependymal layer, where the local abundance of phosphatidylinositols was significantly reduced in HD. This comprehensive spatially resolved lipidomic analysis of the human HD SVZ identifies alterations in lipid architecture that may shed light on the mechanisms of SVZ responses to neurodegeneration in HD.

Abstract
Reprogrammed metabolism supports tumor growth and provides a potential source of therapeutic targets and disease biomarkers. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics has emerged as a broadly informative technique for profiling metabolic features associated with specific oncogenotypes, disease progression, therapeutic liabilities and other clinically relevant aspects of tumor biology. In this review, we introduce the applications of metabolomics to study deregulated metabolism and metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer. We provide examples of studies that used metabolomics to discover novel metabolic regulatory mechanisms, including processes that link metabolic alterations with gene expression, protein function, and other aspects of systems biology. Finally, we discuss emerging applications of metabolomics for in vivo isotope tracing and metabolite imaging, both of which hold promise to advance our understanding of the role of metabolic reprogramming in cancer.

Abstract
On-tissue digestion has become the preferred method to identify proteins in mass spectrometry (MS) imaging. In this study, we report advances in data acquisition and protein identification for MS imaging after on-tissue digestion. Tryptic peptides in a coronal mouse brain section were measured at 50 μm pixel size and revealed detailed histological structures, e.g., the ependyma (consisting of one to two cell layers), which was confirmed by H&E staining. This demonstrates that MS imaging of tryptic peptides at or close to cellular resolution is within reach. We also describe a detailed identification workflow which resulted in the identification of 99 proteins (with 435 corresponding peptides), based on comparison with LC-MS/MS data and in silico digest. These results were obtained with stringent parameters, including high mass accuracy in imaging mode (RSME < 3 ppm) and at least two unique peptides per protein showing consistent spatial distribution. We identified almost 50% of proteins with at least four corresponding peptides. As there is no agreed approach for identification of proteins after on-tissue digestion yet, we discuss our workflow in detail and make the corresponding mass spectral data available as “open data” via ProteomeXchange (identifier PXD003172). With this, we would like to contribute to a more effective discussion and the development of new approaches for tryptic peptide identification in MS imaging. From an experimental point of view, we demonstrate the improvement due to the combination of high spatial resolution and high mass resolution/mass accuracy on a measurement at 25 μm pixel size in mouse cerebellum tissue. A whole body section of a mouse pub imaged at 50 μm pixel size (40 GB, 230,000 spectra) demonstrates the stability of our protocol. For this data set, we developed a workflow that is based on conversion to the common data format imzML and sequential application of freely available software tools. In combination, the presented results for spatial resolution, protein identification, and data processing constitute significant improvements for the field of on-tissue digestion.

Imaging Mass Microscopy of Kidneys from Azithromycin-Treated Rats with Phospholipidosis. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2018; 188:1993-2003.

Abstract
Drug-induced phospholipidosis is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the excess accumulation of tissue phospholipids. Although azithromycin can be used to induce phospholipidosis, no experimental studies evaluating the relationship between drug accumulation and phospholipid localization have been performed. In this study, azithromycin was orally administered to rats for 7 days, and the relationship between drug and phospholipid accumulation was performed using imaging mass microscopy. The administration of azithromycin induced tubular epithelial vacuolation in the inner stripe of the outer medulla of the kidney, consistent with the lamellar bodies that are typical manifestations of drug-induced phospholipidosis. Azithromycin and phospholipid tissue levels were extensively elevated in the kidneys of azithromycin-treated rats. Imaging mass microscopy revealed that both azithromycin and its metabolites were found in the kidneys of azithromycin-treated rats but not in control animals. The vacuolated areas of the kidneys were primarily found in the inner stripe of the outer medulla, consistent with the areas of high azithromycin concentration. Azithromycin was colocalized with several phospholipids-phosphatidylinositol (18:0/20:4), phosphatidylethanolamine (18:0/20:4 and 16:0/20:4), and possibly didocosahexaenoyl (C22:6)-bis(monoacylglycerol) phosphate, a putative biomarker of drug-induced phospholipidosis. In summary, we found correlations between regions of kidney damage and the accumulation of azithromycin, its metabolites, and phospholipids using imaging mass microscopy.

Abstract
Alkylglycerone phosphate synthase (AGPS) is an oncogene and can be considered as an antitumor drug target. The aim of the present study was to design novel nitrogenous heterocyclic compound improving targetability by computer-aided drug design technology targeting AGPS. A total of 12 nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds were designed and predicted the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion parameters/toxicity. Their activity in terms of proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction was then measured using an MTS assay and a high-content screening system in U251 cells. The results showed that anti-glioma activity was present in compounds N4, N5, N6, N7, N8 and N12, which was in accordance with the computer prediction. Therefore, these compounds may be suitable for the development of a novel glioma therapeutic drug.

Abstract
The molecular identification of species of interest is an important part of an imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) experiment. The high resolution accurate mass capabilities of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) have recently been shown to facilitate the identification of proteins in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) IMS. However, these experiments are typically limited to proteins giving rise to ions of relatively low m/ z due to difficulties transmitting and measuring large molecular weight ions of low charge states. Herein we have modified the source gas manifold of a commercial MALDI FT-ICR MS to regulate the gas flow and pressure to maximize the transmission of large m/ z protein ions through the ion funnel region of the instrument. By minimizing the contribution of off-axis gas disruption to ion focusing and maximizing the effective potential wall confining the ions through pressure optimization, the signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) of most protein species were improved by roughly 1 order of magnitude compared to normal source conditions. These modifications enabled the detection of protein standards up to m/ z 24 000 and the detection of proteins from tissue up to m/ z 22 000 with good S/N, roughly doubling the mass range for which high quality protein ion images from rat brain and kidney tissue could be produced. Due to the long time-domain transients (>4 s) required to isotopically resolve high m/ z proteins, we have used these data as part of an FT-ICR IMS-microscopy data-driven image fusion workflow to produce estimated protein images with both high mass and high spatial resolutions.

Comparison between thaw-mounting and use of conductive tape for sample preparation in ToF-SIMS imaging of lipids in Drosophila microRNA-14 model. Biointerphases 2018; 13:03B414.

Abstract
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging elucidates molecular distributions in tissue sections, providing useful information about the metabolic pathways linked to diseases. However, delocalization of the analytes and inadequate tissue adherence during sample preparation are among some of the unfortunate phenomena associated with this technique due to their role in the reduction of the quality, reliability, and spatial resolution of the ToF-SIMS images. For these reasons, ToF-SIMS imaging requires a more rigorous sample preparation method in order to preserve the natural state of the tissues. The traditional thaw-mounting method is particularly vulnerable to altered distributions of the analytes due to thermal effects, as well as to tissue shrinkage. In the present study, the authors made comparisons of different tissue mounting methods, including the thaw-mounting method. The authors used conductive tape as the tissue-mounting material on the substrate because it does not require heat from the finger for the tissue section to adhere to the substrate and can reduce charge accumulation during data acquisition. With the conductive-tape sampling method, they were able to acquire reproducible tissue sections and high-quality images without redistribution of the molecules. Also, the authors were successful in preserving the natural states and chemical distributions of the different components of fat metabolites such as diacylglycerol and fatty acids by using the tape-supported sampling in microRNA-14 (miR-14) deleted Drosophila models. The method highlighted here shows an improvement in the accuracy of mass spectrometric imaging of tissue samples.

Abstract
RATIONALE Liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) can be used to generate spatially directed protein identifications in an imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) workflow. This approach involves the use of robotic micro-extractions coupled to online liquid chromatography (LC). We have characterized the extraction efficiency of this method as well as its ability to identify proteins from a matrix assisted laser/desorption ionization (MALDI) IMS experiment. METHODS Proteins and peptides were extracted from transverse sections of a rat brain and sagittal sections of a mouse pup using liquid surface extractions. Extracts were either analyzed by online LC coupled to a high mass resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer or collected offline and analyzed by traditional LC/MS methods. Identifications were made using both top-down and bottom-up methodologies. MALDI images were acquired on a 15T FTICR mass spectrometer at 125 μm spatial resolution. RESULTS Robotic liquid surface extractions are reproducible across various tissue types, providing significantly improved spatial resolution, with respect to extractions, while still allowing for a robust number of protein identifications. A single 2-μL extract can provide identification of over 14,000 peptides with little sample preparation, increasing throughput for spatially targeted workflows. Surface extractions from tissue were coupled directly to LC to gather spatially relevant proteomics data. CONCLUSIONS Robotic liquid surface extractions can be used to interrogate discrete regions of tissue to provide protein identifications with high throughput, accuracy, and robustness. The direct coupling of tissue surface extractions and LC offers a new and effective approach to provide spatial proteomics data in an imaging experiment.

Abstract
Background: Metabolomics-the novel science that evaluates the multitude of low-molecular-weight metabolites in a biological system, provides new data on pathogenic mechanisms of diseases, including endocrine tumors. Although development of metabolomic profiling in pituitary disorders is at an early stage, it seems to be a promising approach in the near future in identifying specific disease biomarkers and understanding cellular signaling networks. Objectives: To review the metabolomic profile and the contributions of metabolomics in pituitary adenomas (PA). Methods: A systematic review was conducted via PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases, summarizing studies that have described metabolomic aspects of PA. Results: Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry, which are traditional techniques employed in metabolomics, suggest amino acids metabolism appears to be primarily altered in PA. N-acetyl aspartate, choline-containing compounds and creatine appear as highly effective in differentiating PA from healthy tissue. Deoxycholic and 4-pyridoxic acids, 3-methyladipate, short chain fatty acids and glucose-6-phosphate unveil metabolite biomarkers in patients with Cushing's disease. Phosphoethanolamine, N-acetyl aspartate and myo-inositol are down regulated in prolactinoma, whereas aspartate, glutamate and glutamine are up regulated. Phosphoethanolamine, taurine, alanine, choline-containing compounds, homocysteine, and methionine were up regulated in unclassified PA across studies. Intraoperative use of ultra high mass resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), which allows localization and delineation between functional PA and healthy pituitary tissue, may contribute to achievement of complete tumor resection in addition to preservation of pituitary cell lines and vasopressin secretory cells, thus avoiding postoperative diabetes insipidus. Conclusion: Implementation of ultra high performance metabolomics analysis techniques in the study of PA will significantly improve diagnosis and, potentially, the therapeutic approach, by identifying highly specific disease biomarkers in addition to novel molecular pathogenic mechanisms. Ultra high mass resolution MALDI-MSI emerges as a helpful clinical tool in the neurosurgical treatment of pituitary tumors. Therefore, metabolomics appears to be a science with a promising prospect in the sphere of PA, and a starting point in pituitary care.

Abstract
One critical aspect of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is the need to confidently identify detected analytes. While orthogonal tandem MS (e.g., LC-MS2) experiments from sample extracts can assist in annotating ions, the spatial information about these molecules is lost. Accordingly, this could cause mislead conclusions, especially in cases where isobaric species exhibit different distributions within a sample. In this Technical Note, we employed a multimodal imaging approach, using matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-MSI and liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA)-MS2I, to confidently annotate and localize a broad range of metabolites involved in a tripartite symbiosis system of moss, cyanobacteria, and fungus. We found that the combination of these two imaging modalities generated very congruent ion images, providing the link between highly accurate structural information onfered by LESA and high spatial resolution attainable by MALDI. These results demonstrate how this combined methodology could be very useful in differentiating metabolite routes in complex systems.

Abstract
Laser microdissection (LM) has become widely democratized over the last fifteen years. Instruments have evolved to offer more powerful and efficient lasers as well as new options for sample collection and preparation. Technological evolutions have also focused on the post-microdissection analysis capabilities, opening up investigations in all disciplines of experimental and clinical biology, thanks to the advent of new high-throughput methods of genome analysis, including RNAseq and proteomics, now globally known as microgenomics, i.e. analysis of biomolecules at the cell level. In spite of the advances these rapidly developing methods have allowed, the workflow for sampling and collection by LM remains a critical step in insuring sample integrity in terms of histology (accurate cell identification) and biochemistry (reliable analyzes of biomolecules). In this review, we describe the sample processing as well as the strengths and limiting factors of LM applied to the specific selection of one or more cells of interest from a heterogeneous tissue. We will see how the latest developments in protocols and methods have made LM a powerful and sometimes essential tool for genomic and proteomic analyzes of tiny amounts of biomolecules extracted from few cells isolated from a complex tissue, in their physiological context, thus offering new opportunities for understanding fundamental physiological and/or patho-physiological processes.
