Abstract
The current trends in modern medicine towards early diagnosis, or even prognosis, of different diseases have brought about the need for the corresponding biomarker detection at ever lower levels in really complex matrices. To do so, it is necessary to use proper extremely sensitive detection techniques such as elemental mass spectrometry. However, target labelling with metals for subsequent sensitive ICP-MS detection falls short nowadays even if resorting to inorganic nanoparticles containing a high number of detectable elements. Thus, new amplification strategies are being proposed to face this analytical challenge that will be critically discussed in this paper. Fundamentals of different novel strategies developed to achieve signal amplification and sensitive elemental mass spectrometry detection are here discussed. Some representative examples of relevant clinical applications are highlighted, along with future prospects and challenges.

Abstract
The identification of endogenous proteins as well as their binding to metal ions in living cells is determined by combining pulsed electrophoretic separations with nanoelectrospray ionization followed by mass spectrometric detection. This approach avoids problems resulting from the complicated cellular environment. In this manner, we demonstrate the rapid identification (300 ms or less) of intact proteins from living E. coli cells including the complexation of calmodulin with calcium ion. The latter showed different binding states from those observed in in vitro studies. These observations also reveal in vitro measurements do not necessarily represent the actual situation in living cells. We conclude that the attempted in situ measurement of intracellular proteins with minimal sampling processes should be preferred.

Abstract
Reversible phosphorylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications in mammalian cells. Because this molecular switch is an important mechanism that diversifies and regulates proteins in cellular processes, knowledge about the extent and quantity of phosphorylation is very important to understand the complex cellular interplay. Although phosphoproteomics strategies are applied worldwide, they mainly include only molecular mass spectrometry (like MALDI or ESI)-based experiments. Although identification and relative quantification of phosphopeptides is straightforward with these techniques, absolute quantification is more complex and usually requires for specific isotopically phosphopeptide standards. However, the use of elemental mass spectrometry, and in particular inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), in phosphoproteomics-based experiments, allow one to absolutely quantify phosphopeptides. Here, these phosphoproteomic applications with ICP-MS as elemental detector are reviewed. Pioneering work and recent developments in the field are both described. Additionally, the advantage of the parallel use of molecular and elemental mass spectrometry is stressed.

Abstract
The last 10 years witnessed the emerging and growing up of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS)-based immunoassay. Its high sensitivity and multiplex potential have made ICPMS a revolutionary technique for bioanalyte quantification after element-tagged immunoassay. This review focuses on the major developments and the applications of ICPMS-based immunoassay, with emphasis on methodological innovations. The ICPMS-based immunoassay with elemental tags of metal ions, nanoparticles, and metal containing polymers was discussed in detail. The recent development of multiplex assay, mass cytometry, suspension array, and surface analysis demonstrated the versatility and great potential of this technique. ICPMS-based immunoassay has become one of the key methods in bioanalysis.

Absolute quantification of superoxide dismutase in cytosol and mitochondria of mice hepatic cells exposed to mercury by a novel metallomic approach. Anal Chim Acta 2014; 842:42-50.

Abstract
In the last years, the development of new methods for analyzing accurate and precise individual metalloproteins is of increasing importance, since numerous metalloproteins are excellent biomarkers of oxidative stress and diseases. In that way, methods based on the use of post column isotopic dilution analysis (IDA) or enriched protein standards are required to obtain a sufficient degree of accuracy, precision and high limits of detection. This paper reports the identification and absolute quantification of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) in cytosol and mitochondria from mice hepatic cells using a innovative column switching analytical approach. The method consisted of orthogonal chromatographic systems coupled to inductively coupling plasma-mass spectrometry equipped with a octopole reaction systems (ICP-ORS-MS) and UV detectors: size exclusion fractionation (SEC) of the cytosolic and mitochondrial extracts followed by online anion exchange chromatographic (AEC) separation of Cu/Zn containing species. After purification, Cu,Zn-SOD was identified after tryptic digestion by molecular mass spectrometry (MS). The MS/MS spectrum of a doubly charged peptide was used to obtain the sequence of the protein using the MASCOT searching engine. This optimized methodology reduces the time of analysis and avoids the use of sample preconcentration and clean-up procedures, such as cut-off centrifuged filters, solid phase extraction (SPE), precipitation procedures, off-line fractions insolates, etc. In this sense, the method is robust, reliable and fast with typical chromatographic run time less than 20 min. Precision in terms of relative standard deviation (n = 5) is of 3-5% and detection limits is 0.21 ngCug(-1). The application of the methodology to hepatic cells from mice exposed to inorganic mercury reveals decreased levels of Cu,Zn-SOD in cytosolic and mitochondrial extracts, as a consequence of the oxidative stress caused by this toxic metal. Additionally, the quantification of mitochondrial Cu,Zn-SOD in hepatic cells from Mus musculus has been carried out for the first time.

Abstract
The vast majority of today's modern bioanalytical methods for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and immunogenicity purposes are based on LC-MS/MS and immunoanalytical approaches. Indeed, these methodologies are suitable for a wide range of molecules from small to large. For a smaller but not insignificant group of compounds, LC-MS/MS is not suitable - or in some cases much less suitable - as a reliable bioanalytical methodology, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS is a more appropriate methodology. ICP-MS is one of these less widely used techniques in drug development. This methodology is predominantly used for elemental bioanalysis for pharmacokinetics, for imaging purposes, for mass-balance, food-effect and biomarker studies. In addition, in the last couple of years an increasing number of applications has been published, where ICP-MS and its various hyphenations (LC-ICP-MS, CE-ICP-MS) have been used for speciation/metabolism and proteomics studies. Here, the analytical potential, the quantitative bioanalytical aspects, the various modes of operation and the challenges of the application of ICP-MS in life sciences applications are given. This includes an overview of recent applications in this area in scientific literature, the various hyphenation possibilities and their application areas and the analysis of the various sample matrices applicable to these fields. It also provides a brief outlook of where the potential of this technique lies in the future of regulated bioanalysis and drug development.
