Abstract
PURPOSE Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy arising from the bile duct epithelium and has a poor outcome. Sulfatides are lipid components of lipid rafts, and are implicated in several cancer types. In the liver, sulfatides are specifically present in the bile ducts. Here, sulfatide abundance and composition were analyzed using mass spectrometry imaging in intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) tumor tissue, and correlated with tumor biology and clinical outcomes. METHODS Sulfatides were analyzed in iCCA (n = 17), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, n = 10) and colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM, n = 10) tumor samples, as well as tumor-distal samples (control, n = 16) using mass spectrometry imaging. Levels of sulfatides as well as the relative amount in structural classes were compared between groups, and were correlated with clinical outcomes for iCCA patients. RESULTS Sulfatide localization was limited to the respective tumor areas and the bile ducts. Sulfatide abundance was similar in iCCA and control tissue, while intensities were notably higher in CRLM in comparison with control (18-fold, P < 0.05) and HCC tissue (47-fold, P < 0.001). Considerable variation in sulfatide abundance was observed in iCCA tumors. A high ratio of unsaturated to saturated sulfatides was associated with reduced disease-free survival (10 vs. 20 months) in iCCA. The sulfatide pattern in HCC deviated from the other groups, with a higher relative abundance of odd- versus even-chain sulfatides. CONCLUSION Sulfatides were found in tumor tissue of patients with iCCA, with sulfatide abundance per pixel being similar to bile ducts. In this explorative study, sulfatide abundance was not related to overall survival of iCCA patients. A high ratio of unsaturated to saturated sulfatides was associated with earlier tumor recurrence in patients with iCCA.

Altered Plasma, Urine, and Tissue Profiles of Sulfatides and Sphingomyelins in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14194622. [PMID: 36230546 PMCID: PMC9563753 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14194622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the most common cancer types in both men and women, and its early detection significantly improves survival. Minimally-invasive blood- or urine-based tests may increase the RCC detection rate, especially before patients develop symptoms. Here, we report significant changes in concentrations of sulfatides and sphingomyelins in plasma and urine in RCC patients compared to healthy controls. For the first time, we present findings that similar alterations appear in the lipid profiles of body fluids and tissues in patients. We observe gradual changes in sulfatide and sphingomyelin concentrations with increasing tumor stage and grade. We built binary classifiers that detect RCC based on plasma and urine lipidome dysregulations, and we show that the plasma lipidome alterations enable distinguishing between early-stage RCC and controls. Our results demonstrate the considerable potential of lipid screening in biofluids for RCC detection and monitoring in clinical settings. Abstract Purpose: RCC, the most common type of kidney cancer, is associated with high mortality. A non-invasive diagnostic test remains unavailable due to the lack of RCC-specific biomarkers in body fluids. We have previously described a significantly altered profile of sulfatides in RCC tumor tissues, motivating us to investigate whether these alterations are reflected in collectible body fluids and whether they can enable RCC detection. Methods: We collected and further analyzed 143 plasma, 100 urine, and 154 tissue samples from 155 kidney cancer patients, together with 207 plasma and 70 urine samples from 214 healthy controls. Results: For the first time, we show elevated concentrations of lactosylsulfatides and decreased levels of sulfatides with hydroxylated fatty acyls in body fluids of RCC patients compared to controls. These alterations are emphasized in patients with the advanced tumor stage. Classification models are able to distinguish between controls and patients with RCC. In the case of all plasma samples, the AUC for the testing set was 0.903 (0.844–0.954), while for urine samples it was 0.867 (0.763–0.953). The models are able to efficiently detect patients with early- and late-stage RCC based on plasma samples as well. The test set sensitivities were 80.6% and 90%, and AUC values were 0.899 (0.832–0.952) and 0.981 (0.956–0.998), respectively. Conclusion: Similar trends in body fluids and tissues indicate that RCC influences lipid metabolism, and highlight the potential of the studied lipids for minimally-invasive cancer detection, including patients with early tumor stages, as demonstrated by the predictive ability of the applied classification models.

Abstract
This review is the eighth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2014. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation, and arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly- saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides, and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions, and applications to chemical synthesis. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization coupled with Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MALDI-Orbitrap-MS) is used for the clinical study of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), as the most common type of kidney cancer. Significant changes in sulfoglycosphingolipid abundances between tumor and autologous normal kidney tissues are observed. First, sulfoglycosphingolipid species in studied RCC samples are identified using high mass accuracy full scan and tandem mass spectra. Subsequently, optimization, method validation, and statistical evaluation of MALDI-MS data for 158 tissues of 80 patients are discussed. More than 120 sulfoglycosphingolipids containing one to five hexosyl units are identified in human RCC samples based on the systematic study of their fragmentation behavior. Many of them are recorded here for the first time. Multivariate data analysis (MDA) methods, i.e., unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), are used for the visualization of differences between normal and tumor samples to reveal the most up- and downregulated lipids in tumor tissues. Obtained results are closely correlated with MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and histologic staining. Important steps of the present MALDI-Orbitrap-MS approach are also discussed, such as the selection of best matrix, correct normalization, validation for semiquantitative study, and problems with possible isobaric interferences on closed masses in full scan mass spectra.

Global changes of phospholipids identified by MALDI imaging mass spectrometry in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. J Lipid Res 2015; 57:36-45.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia; however, at the present time there is no disease-modifying drug for AD. There is increasing evidence supporting the role of lipid changes in the process of normal cognitive aging and in the etiology of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. AD is characterized by the presence of intraneuronal protein clusters and extracellular aggregates of β-amyloid (Aβ). Disrupted Aβ kinetics may activate intracellular signaling pathways, including tau hyperphosphorylation and proinflammatory pathways. We analyzed and visualized the lipid profiles of mouse brains using MALDI-TOF MS. Direct tissue analysis by MALDI-TOF imaging MS (IMS) can determine the relative abundance and spatial distribution of specific lipids in different tissues. We used 5XFAD mice that almost exclusively generate and rapidly accumulate massive cerebral levels of Aβ-42 (1). Our data showed changes in lipid distribution in the mouse frontal cortex, hippocampus, and subiculum, where Aβ plaques are first generated in AD. Our results suggest that MALDI-IMS is a powerful tool for analyzing the distribution of various phospholipids and that this application might provide novel insight into the prediction of disease.
