Unveiling compositional images of specific proteins in individual cells by LA-ICP-MS: Labelling with ruthenium red and metal nanoclusters. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1317:342906. [PMID: 39030007 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent biological studies have demonstrated that changes can occur in the cellular genome and proteome due to variations in cell volume. Therefore, it is imperative to take cell volume into account when analyzing a target protein. This consideration becomes especially critical in experimental models involving cells subjected to different treatments. Failure to consider cell volume could obscure the studied biological phenomena or lead to erroneous conclusions. However, quantitative imaging of proteins within cells by LA-ICP-MS is limited by the lack of methods that provide the protein concentration (protein mass over cell volume) rather than just protein mass within individual cells. RESULTS The combination of a metal tagged immunoprobe with ruthenium red (RR) labelling enables the simultaneous analysis of a specific protein and the cell volume in each cell analyzed by LA-ICP-(Q)MS. The results indicate that the CYP1B1 concentration exhibits a quasi-normally distribution in control ARPE-19 cells, whereas AAPH-treated cells reveal the presence of two distinct cell groups, responding and non-responding cells to an in vitro induced oxidative stress. The labelling of the membrane with RR and the measurement of Ru mass in each cell by LA-ICP-MS offers higher precision compared to manually delimitation of the cell perimeter and eliminates the risk of biased information, which can be prone to inter-observer variability. The proposed procedure is fast and minimizes errors in cell area assignment and offers the possibility to carry out a faster data treatment approach if just relative volumes are compared, which can be advantageous for specific applications. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY This work presents an innovative strategy to directly study the distribution and concentration of proteins within individual cells by LA-ICP-MS. This method employs ruthenium red as a cell volume marker and Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) tagged immunoprobes to label the protein of interest. Furthermore, the proposed labelling strategy enables rapid data processing, allowing for the calculation of relative concentrations and thus facilitating the comparison across large datasets. As a proof-of-concept, the concentration of the CYP1B1 protein was quantified in ARPE-19 cells under both control and oxidative stress conditions.

Abstract
One remaining handicap for spatially resolved elemental quantification in biological samples is the lack of a suitable internal standard (IS) that can be reliably measured across both calibration standards and samples. In this work, multielement quantitative intracellular imaging of cells tagged with lanthanide nanoparticles containing key lanthanides, e.g., Eu and Ho, is described using a novel strategy that uses the ratio of IS elements and LA-ICP-TOFMS analysis. To achieve this, an internal standard layer is deposited onto microscope slides containing either gelatin calibration standards or Eu- and Ho-tagged cell samples. This IS layer contains both gallium (Ga) and indium (In). Monitoring either element as an IS individually showed significant variability in intensity signal between sample or standards prepared across multiple microscope slides, which is indicative of the difficulties in producing a homogeneous film at intracellular resolution. However, normalization of the lanthanide signal to the ratio of the IS elements improved the calibration correlation coefficients from 0.9885 to 0.9971 and 0.9805 to 0.9980 for Eu and Ho, respectively, while providing a consistent signal to monitor the ablation behavior between standards and samples. By analyzing an independent quality control (QC) gelatin sample spiked with Eu and Ho, it was observed that without normalization to the IS ratio the concentrations of Eu and Ho were highly biased by approximately 20% in comparison to the expected values. Similarly, this overestimation was also observed in the lanthanide concentration distribution of the cell samples in comparison with the normalized data.

Abstract
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a well-established and sensitive analytical technique, which provides high-resolution imaging of endogenous elements, element tagged-markers, metal-containing nanoparticles, and metallodrugs within cells. Here we describe a protocol for imaging the subcellular distribution of platinum within A549 cells, following their incubation with the platinum-based anticancer agent, Oxaliplatin. We outline the essential steps in sample preparation and instrumental setup and discuss how the current generation of low-dispersion instruments facilitates new approaches to data acquisition and image processing. The protocol described herein can be easily adapted for other cell lines and metal-containing labeling agents.

Abstract
Metals have a fundamental role in microbiology, and accurate methods are needed for their identification and quantification. The inability to assess cellular heterogeneity is considered an impediment to the successful treatment of different diseases. Unlike bulk approaches, single-cell analysis allows elemental heterogeneity across genetically identical populations to be related to specific biological events and to the effectiveness of drugs. Single particle-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) can analyse single cells in suspension and measure this heterogeneity. Here we explore advances in instrumental design, compare mass analysers and discuss key parameters requiring optimisation. This review has identified that the effect of pre-treatment of cell suspensions and cell fixation approaches require further study and novel validation methods are needed as using bulk measurements is unsatisfactory. SP-ICP-MS has the advantage that a large number of cells can be analysed; however, it does not provide spatial information. Techniques based on laser ablation (LA) enable elemental mapping at the single-cell level, such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The sensitivity of commercial LIBS instruments restricts its use for sub-tissue applications; however, the capacity to analyse endogenous bulk components paired with developments in nano-LIBS technology shows great potential for cellular research. LA-ICP-MS offers high sensitivity for the direct analysis of single cells, but standardisation requires further development. The hyphenation of these trace elemental analysis techniques and their coupling with multi-omic technologies for single-cell analysis have enormous potential in answering fundamental biological questions.

Abstract
Single cell-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (sc-ICP-MS) and laser ablation (LA)-ICP-MS have been complementary employed to develop a comprehensive study of APOE and claudin-1 expression in ARPE-19 cells submitted to a glucose treatment (100 mM, 48 h) that induces oxidative stress conditions. Results were compared with control cells. The determination of the two proteins by ICP-MS was sequentially carried out using specific immunoprobes labelled with IrNCs that offer a huge amplification (1760 ± 90 atoms of Ir on average). A novel sample introduction system, the microFAST Single Cell set-up, was employed for sc-ICP-MS analysis. This introduction system resulted in a cellular transport efficiency of 85 ± 9% for ARPE-19 cells (91 ± 5% using a PtNPs standard). After the proper immunocytochemistry protocol with the specific IrNCs immunoprobes in cell suspensions (sc-ICP-MS), the mass of APOE and claudin-1 in individual ARPE-19 cells was obtained. Average detection limits per cell by sc-ICP-MS were 0.02 fg of APOE and 3 ag of claudin-1. The results of sample analyses obtained by sc-ICP-MS were validated with commercial ELISA kits. The distribution of both target proteins in individual cells (fixated in the chamber wall) was unveiled by LA-ICP-MS. The high amplification provided by the IrNCs immunoprobes allowed the identification of APOE and claudin-1 within individual ARPE-19 cells. High resolution images were obtained using a laser spot of 2 × 2 μm.

Abstract
The heterogeneity properties shown by cells or unicellular organisms have led to the development of analytical methods at the single-cell level. In this sense, considering the importance of trace elements in these biological systems, the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) configured for analyzing single cell has presented a high potential to assess the evaluation of elements in cells. Moreover, advances in instrumentation, such as coupling laser ablation to the tandem configuration (ICP-MS/MS), or alternative mass analyzers (ICP-SFMS and ICP-TOFMS), brought significant benefits, including sensitivity improvement, high-resolution imaging, and the cell fingerprint. From this perspective, the single-cell ICP-MS has been widely reported in studies involving many fields, from oncology to environmental research. Hence, it has contributed to finding important results, such as elucidating nanoparticle toxicity at the cellular level and vaccine development. Therefore, in this review, the theory of single-cell ICP-MS analysis is explored, and the applications in this field are pointed out. In addition, the instrumentation advances for single-cell ICP-MS are addressed.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-specific antibodies can serve as valuable tools to monitor alterations in the extracellular matrix resulting from pathologies. Here, the keratan sulfate-specific monoclonal antibody MZ15 was characterized in more detail by immunofluorescence microscopy as well as laser ablation ICP-MS using tissue cryosections and paraffin-embedded samples. Pretreatment with keratanase II prevented staining of samples and therefore demonstrated efficient enzymatic keratan sulfate degradation. Random fluorescent labeling and site-directed introduction of a metal cage into MZ15 were successful and allowed for a highly sensitive detection of the keratan sulfate landscape in the corneal stroma from rats and human tissue.

Abstract
Elemental imaging gives insight into the fundamental chemical makeup of living organisms. Every cell on Earth is comprised of a complex and dynamic mixture of the chemical elements that define structure and function. Many disease states feature a disturbance in elemental homeostasis, and understanding how, and most importantly where, has driven the development of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) as the principal elemental imaging technique for biologists. This review provides an outline of ICP-MS technology, laser ablation cell designs, imaging workflows, and methods of quantification. Detailed examples of imaging applications including analyses of cancers, elemental uptake and accumulation, plant bioimaging, nanomaterials in the environment, and exposure science and neuroscience are presented and discussed. Recent incorporation of immunohistochemical workflows for imaging biomolecules, complementary and multimodal imaging techniques, and image processing methods is also reviewed.

Abstract
Quantitative imaging of amyloid beta (Aβ) in brain is of great significance for pathological study and follow-up drug development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, a method using antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was established for quantitative imaging of Aβ peptide in the brain of AD mouse by Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Aβ antibody (Anti-Aβ) was labeled with AuNPs to form the conjugate AuNPs-Anti-Aβ which was immunoreactive with Aβ in the brain slice of mouse. Quantitative imaging of Au was acquired with homogenized brain slice matrix-matched standards as external calibrants which were made by immersing in gold standard solution with different concentrations. Furthermore, the stoichiometric ratios between metal conjugates and Aβ were optimized, and the immunoreaction efficiency after labeling was also investigated. According to the molar relationship between AuNPs and Anti-Aβ (1:4.3) and the ratio of Anti-Aβ to Aβ (1:1), quantitative imaging of Aβ in brain was accomplished. The method intuitively displayed the location and concentration of Aβ aggregation, which was consistent with traditional immunohistochemical staining. Since the numerous gold atoms contained in AuNPs can enhance the signal of Aβ, the method is more intuitive and sensitive. The proposed methodology is potential in investigating the quantitative imaging of biomarker heterogeneity, and is useful to understand such complex brain mechanisms in the future.

Background: Element-tagged immunoassay coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection has the potential to revolutionize immunoassay analysis for multiplex detection. However, a further study referring to the standard evaluation and clinical sample verification is needed to ensure its reliability for simultaneous analysis in clinical laboratories. Methods: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and α-fetoprotein (AFP) were chosen for the duplex immunoassay. The performance of the assay was evaluated according to guidelines from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Moreover, reference intervals (RIs) of CEA and AFP were established. At last, 329 clinical samples were analyzed by the proposed method and results were compared with those obtained with electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) method. Results: The measurement range of the assay was 2–940 ng/mL for CEA and 1.5–1000 ng/mL for AFP, with a detection limit of 0.94 ng/mL and 0.34 ng/mL, respectively. The inter-assay and intra-assay imprecision were all less than 6.58% and 10.62%, respectively. The RI of CEA and AFP was 0–3.84 ng/mL and 0–9.94 ng/mL, respectively. Regarding to clinical sample detection, no significant difference was observed between the proposed duplex assay and the ECLIA method. Conclusions: The ICP-MS-based duplex immunoassay was successfully developed and the analytical performance fully proved clinical applicability. Well, this could be different with other analytes.

Abstract
To know how much of a metal species is in a particular location within a biological context at any given time is essential for understanding the intricate roles of metals in biology and is the fundamental question upon which the field of metallomics was born. Simply put, seeing is powerful. With the combination of spectroscopy and microscopy, we can now see metals within complex biological matrices complemented by information about associated molecules and their structures. With the addition of mass spectrometry and particle beam based techniques, the field of view grows to cover greater sensitivities and spatial resolutions, addressing structural, functional and quantitative metallomic questions from the atomic level to whole body processes. In this perspective, I present a paradigm shift in the way we relate to and integrate current and developing metallomic analytics, highlighting both familiar and perhaps less well-known state of the art techniques for in situ metallomic imaging, specific biological applications, and their use in correlative studies. There is a genuine need to abandon scientific silos and, through the establishment of a metallomic scientific platform for further development of multidimensional analytics for in situ metallomic imaging, we have an incredible opportunity to enhance the field of metallomics and demonstrate how discovery research can be done more effectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Element-tagged immunoassay coupled with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detection has the potential to revolutionize immunoassay analysis in clinical detection; however, a systematic evaluation with the standard guidelines of the assay is needed to ensure its performance meets the requirements of the clinical laboratory.
Methods
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was chosen for analysis using the proposed method. A systematic evaluation of the proposed assay was carried out according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The 469 clinical samples were analyzed using the new method and compared with the electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) method.
Results
The measurement range of the assay was 1–900 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 0.83 ng/mL. The inter-assay and intra-assay imprecision were 4.67% and 5.38% with high concentration samples, and 9.27% and 17.64% with low concentration samples, respectively. The cross-reactivity (%) for different antigens was less than 0.05%, and the recovery was between 94% and 108%. Percentage deviation of all the dilutions was less than 12.5% during linearity estimation. The interference bias caused by different substances was less than 10%. The reference interval of the assay was 0–4.442 ng/mL. Comparison with the commercial ECLIA method for clinical sample detection, the proposed method showed a correlation of 0.9878 and no significant differences between the methods were observed (p = 0.6666).
Conclusions
The ICP-MS based immunoassay was successfully developed, and the analytical performance of the assay met the requirements of the CLSI, which fully proved the clinical transferability and application of the new method.

Abstract
We applied high resolution laser ablation inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-TOF-MS) with cellular spatial resolution for bioimaging of nanoparticles uptaken by fibroblast multicellular spheroids (MCS). This was used to quantitatively investigate interactions of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and the distributions of intrinsic minerals and biologically relevant elements within thin sections of a fibroblast MCS as a three-dimensional in vitro tissue model. We designed matrix-matched calibration standards for this purpose and printed them using a noncontact piezo-driven array spotter with a Ag NP suspension and multielement standards. The limits of detection for Ag, Mg, P, K, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn were at the femtogram (10-15 g) level, which is sufficient to investigate intrinsic minerals in thin MCS sections (20 μm thick). After incubation for 48 h, Ag NPs were enriched in the outer rim of the MCS but not detected in the core. The localization of Ag NPs was inhomogeneous in the outer rim, and they were colocalized with a single-cell-like structure visualized by Fe distribution (pixel size of elemental images: 5 × 0.5 μm). The quantitative value for the total mass of Ag NPs in a thin section by the present method agreed with that obtained by ICP-sector field (SF)-MS with a liquid mode after acid digestion.

Abstract
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is proposed for a better understanding of metals and proteins distribution in micrometre structures of human brain tissues. Simultaneous absolute quantitative imaging of Fe and ferroportin (FPN), in 5 µm thick tissue sections of the stratum pyramidale of hippocampus CA1 region, was carried out for Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and healthy controls (HC). For the imaging of FPN by LA-ICP-MS, antibodies were labelled via carbodiimide crosslinking with fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) of 2.2 nm diameter, enabling a high amplification (314 gold atoms per NC). Laboratory made gelatin standards containing Fe and Au were used for LA-ICP-MS calibration. Results showed that iron presents an increased concentration in AD donors compared with HC donors, whereas similar concentrations of FPN in AD donors with respect to HC donors were obtained. The average absolute FPN concentrations in selected areas obtained with the proposed AuNCs method were compared with the levels obtained by densitometric analysis with a traditional IHC approach, observing a similar trend in all cases.

Abstract
Laser ablation (LA) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a versatile tool for direct trace elemental and isotopic analysis of solids. The development of new strategies for quantitative elemental mapping of biological tissues is one of the growing research areas in LA-ICP-MS. On the other hand, the latest advances are related to obtaining not only the elemental distribution of heteroatoms but also molecular information. In this vein, mapping of specific proteins in biological tissues can be done with LA-ICP-MS by use of metal-labelled immunoprobes. However, although LA-ICP-MS is, in principle, a quantitative technique, critical requirements should be met for absolute quantification of protein distribution. In this review, progress based on the use of metal-labelled antibodies for LA-ICP-MS mapping of specific proteins is reported. Critical requirements to obtain absolute quantitative mapping of specific proteins by LA-ICP-MS are highlighted. Additionally, illustrative examples of the advances made so far with LA-ICP-MS are provided. Graphical abstract In the proposed critical review, last advances based on the use of metal-labelled antibodies and critical requirements for LA-ICP-MS quantitative mapping of specific proteins are tackled.

Abstract
In this article, some recent trends and developments in ambient desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (ADI-MS) are reviewed, with a special focus on quantitative analyses with direct, open-air sampling. Accurate quantification with ADI-MS is still not routinely performed, but this aspect is considered of utmost importance for the advancement of the field. In fact, several research groups are devoted to the development of novel and optimized ADI-MS approaches. Some key trends include novel sample introduction strategies for improved reproducibility, tailored sample preparation protocols for removing the matrix and matrix effects, and multimode ionization sources. In addition, there is significant interest in quantitative mass spectrometry imaging.

Abstract
Development and market introduction of new nanomaterials trigger the need for an adequate risk assessment of such products alongside suitable risk communication measures. Current application of classical and new nanomaterials is analyzed in context of regulatory requirements and standardization for chemicals, food and consumer products. The challenges of nanomaterial characterization as the main bottleneck of risk assessment and regulation are presented. In some areas, e.g., quantification of nanomaterials within complex matrices, the establishment and adaptation of analytical techniques such as laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and others are potentially suited to meet the requirements. As an example, we here provide an approach for the reliable characterization of human exposure to nanomaterials resulting from food packaging. Furthermore, results of nanomaterial toxicity and ecotoxicity testing are discussed, with concluding key criteria such as solubility and fiber rigidity as important parameters to be considered in material development and regulation. Although an analysis of the public opinion has revealed a distinguished rating depending on the particular field of application, a rather positive perception of nanotechnology could be ascertained for the German public in general. An improvement of material characterization in both toxicological testing as well as end-product control was concluded as being the main obstacle to ensure not only safe use of materials, but also wide acceptance of this and any novel technology in the general public.

Abstract
Background Treatment of advanced cutaneous melanoma remains challenging, and new data on melanoma biology are required. The most widely accepted criteria for the prognostic evaluation of melanoma are histopathological and clinical parameters, and the identification of additional tumor markers is thus of paramount importance. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI), an important tool in cancer research, is useful for unraveling the molecular profile of melanoma. Methodology/Principal findings In this report, we used the melanoma-bearing Libechov minipig (MeLiM), a unique animal model that allows observation of the complete spontaneous regression of invasive cutaneous melanoma, to investigate i) the differences between melanoma and healthy skin protein profiles and ii) the proteins potentially involved in spontaneous regression. The MeLiM tissues were cryosected, histologically characterized, analyzed by MALDI MSI, and immunohistologically stained. Multivariate statistical analyses of the MALDI MSI data revealed ten relevant m/z ions, of which the expression levels varied significantly among the studied MeLiM tissues. These ion peaks were used to create mass ion images/maps and visualize the differences between tumor and healthy skin specimens, as well as among histologically characterized tissue regions. Conclusions/Significance Protein profiles comprising ten statistically significant mass ion peaks useful for differentiating cutaneous melanoma and healthy skin tissues were determined. Peaks at m/z 3044, 6011, 6140 and 10180 were overexpressed in melanoma compared with healthy skin tissue. More specifically, m/z 6140 was expressed at significantly (p < 0.05) higher levels in normally growing melanoma regions than in regions with early and late spontaneous regression. This study demonstrates the clinical utility of MALDI MSI for the analysis of tissue cryosections at a molecular level.
