J Chromatogr A 2023; 1712:464493. [PMID: 37944434 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464493] [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: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a novel soft ionization bio-mass spectrometry technology emerging in the 1980s, which can realize rapid detection of non-volatile, highly polar, and thermally unstable macromolecules. However, the analysis of small molecular compounds has been a major problem for MALDI-TOF MS all the time. In the MALDI analysis process based on traditional matrices, large numbers of interference peaks in the low molecular weight area and "sweet spots" phenomenon are produced, so the detection method needs to be further optimized. The promotion of matrix means the improvement of MALDI performance. In recent years, many new nanomaterial-based matrices have been successfully applied to the analysis of small molecular compounds, which makes MALDI applicable to a wider range of detection and useful in more fields such as pharmacy and environmental science. In this paper, the newly developed MALDI matrix categories in recent years are reviewed initially. Meanwhile, the potential applications, advantages and disadvantages of various matrices are analyzed. Finally, the future development prospects of nanomaterial-based matrices are also prospected.

Abstract
Low molecular weight compounds play an important role in encoding the current physiological state of an individual. Laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) offers high sensitivity with low cost for molecular detection, but it is not able to cover small molecules due to the drawbacks of the conventional matrix. Advanced materials are better alternatives, showing little background interference and high LDI efficiency. Herein, we first classify the current materials with a summary of compositions and structures. Matrix preparation protocols are then reviewed, to enhance the selectivity and reproducibility of MS data better. Finally, we highlight the biomedical applications of material-assisted LDI MS, at the tissue, bio-fluid, and cellular levels. We foresee that the advanced materials will bring far-reaching implications in LDI MS towards real-case applications, especially in clinical settings.

Abstract
Crystals of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) are known to induce arthropathic diseases called gout and pseudogout, respectively. These crystals are deposited in various joints or tissues, causing severe pain. Correct identification of crystals is crucial for the appropriate treatment of gout and pseudogout, which exhibit very similar symptoms. Herein, a novel approach of laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (LDI-ToF) mass spectrometry (MS) was introduced to analyze MSU and CPPD crystals with three different types of nanostructured TiO2 materials including TiO2 nanoparticles (P25), TiO2 nanowires synthesized from wet-corrosion method, and the mixture of P25 and TiO2 nanowires (P25/TiO2 nanowires) as inorganic solid matrices. Furthermore, the feasibility of LDI-ToF MS based on these TiO2 nanostructures for the analysis of the two arthropathy-related crystals was tested using spiked samples in synovial fluid at known crystal concentrations. The mass analysis results of MSU and CPPD crystals demonstrated that (1) the electrostatic interaction between analytes and solid matrices was key for the analyte ionization and (2) LDI-ToF MS with nanostructured TiO2 materials has the potential to be a practical approach for the diagnosis of gout and pseudogout.

Abstract
A combination nanostructured matrix with metal Au nanoislands and semiconductor TiO2 nanowires is presented to enhance both desorption and ionization efficiency in laser desorption/ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry. The heterostructure of Au nanoislands on TiO2 nanowires was fabricated via (1) TiO2 nanowire synthesis through a modified wet-corrosion method and (2) Au nanoisland formation through thermal annealing of a sputtered Au layer on the TiO2 nanowires. Herein, the synergistic effect of this heterostructure for highly efficient ion production was experimentally elucidated in terms of the formation of high temperature on the surface of Au and the creation of a Schottky barrier at the Au-TiO2 interface. Finally, four types of immunosuppressors were analyzed to demonstrate the improved ionization performance of the heterostructure for LDI mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Arginine plays an important role in many biological functions, whose detection is very significant. Herein, a sensitive, simple and cost-effective fluorescent method for the detection of arginine has been developed based on the inner filter effect (IFE) of citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the fluorescence of thioglycolic acid-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs). When citrate-stabilized AuNPs were mixed with thioglycolic acid-capped CdTe QDs, the fluorescence of CdTe QDs was significantly quenched by AuNPs via the IFE. With the presence of arginine, arginine could induce the aggregation and corresponding absorption spectra change of AuNPs, which then IFE-decreased fluorescence could gradually recover with increasing amounts of arginine, achieving fluorescence "turn on" sensing for arginine. The detection mechanism is clearly illustrated and various experimental conditions were also optimized. Under the optimum conditions, a decent linear relationship was obtained in the range from 16 to 121μgL-1 and the limit of detection was 5.6μgL-1. And satisfactory results were achieved in arginine analysis using arginine injection, compound amino acid injection, even blood plasma as samples. Therefore, the present assay showed various merits, such as simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity and selectivity, making it promising for sensing arginine in biological samples.

Abstract
RATIONALE Investigation of nanoparticles for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) is routinely reported. However, the effect of surface capping of nanomaterials for LDI-MS is not well studied. METHODS Different capping agents of quantum dots (CdTe) affect the spectra quality and sensitivity of protein analysis and protein digestion using trypsin enzyme assisted by microwave. Surface modification of CdTe quantum dots with different capping agents, namely 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA), 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP), 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA), cysteine (Cys) and thioglycolic acid (TG), were investigated for quantum dots (QDs)-assisted trypsin protease followed by analysis using mass spectrometry. RESULTS CdTe QDs were used as a surface to assist trypsin protease and laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, SALDI-MS). The MS profiles for the investigated analytes (bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme, cytochrome c, α-casein, transferrin and myoglobin) revealed almost the absence of degradation that implies the softness of the present technique. QDs-assisted LDI-MS offered high sensitivity and high resolution. QDs showed significant enhancement of microwave-assisted trypsin digestion of the investigated proteins and these improvements boosted the identifications of fragments with a database. CONCLUSIONS A capping agent of quantum dots affects the analysis of proteins and peptides using LDI-MS. CdTe QDs offer sensitive, high-resolution and simple analysis of proteins. QDs improved the protein digestion using the microwave-assisted trypsin digestion. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative analyses of global proteome samples derived from biocomplex mixtures are very important to understand the cellular functions in cell biology. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS)-based proteomics has recently become one of the most informative and attractive core technologies in proteomics. Particularly, nanomaterials-based MALDI mass spectrometric methods are quickly becoming a critical miniaturized bioanalytical tool for detecting and discerning proteins from biocomplex samples. These MALDI-developed strategies allow high-throughput identification of proteins from highly complex mixtures including accurate mass measurement of peptides derived from total proteome digests and peptides/proteins separations from various samples. The nanomaterials-integrated MALDI-MS technologies in protein arrays hold much promise for interrogating the diverse and immense proteome in cell biology. As a result, nanomaterials-assisted MALDI-MS-based proteomic workflow, including sample preparation, information on the local molecular composition, relative abundance and spatial distribution of peptides and proteins and their analysis, should make the technology more easily available to a broad community and turn it into a powerful methodology for bioanalysts.

Abstract
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) or nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit very unusual physico-chemcial and optical properties. This review article introduces the applications of semiconductor nanomaterials (NMs) in fluorescence spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) for biomolecule analysis. Due to their unique physico-chemical and optical properties, semiconductors NMs have created many new platforms for investigating biomolecular structures and information in modern biology. These semiconductor NMs served as effective fluorescent probes for sensing proteins and cells and acted as affinity or concentrating probes for enriching peptides, proteins and bacteria proteins prior to MALDI-MS analysis.

Abstract
Chitosan modified CdS quantum dots (CdS@CTS) can be used as an effective bacterial biosensor due to their good bioaffinity among chitosan molecules and bacterial membranes. CdS@CTS is an ultrafast, sensitive, direct and biocompatible biosensor for pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus). Chitosan biopolymer of CdS@CTS provides bioaffinity sites that can be employed for the assembly on pathogen bacteria cells due to the chemical similarity of the chitosan and the bacteria membranes. Thus, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa cells were detected at low concentrations of 150 and 200 cfu mL-1, respectively, in an extremely short time (1 min). The CdS@CTS-bacteria interaction is noncovalent. From the thermodynamic results, the van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding formation are characterized by negative enthalpy (ΔH), while positive entropy (ΔS) is considered as the evidence for typical hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, negative ΔH and positive ΔS might play a role in the electrostatic interactions. The negative free energy (ΔG) shows that the binding events were spontaneous processes. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed to evaluate the interactions and the biocompatibility of CdS@CTS toward bacteria cells. Their biocompatibility, together with the high sensitivity and the presence of multifunctional forces, making these quantum dots (CdS@CTS) an excellent and novel biosensor which can be widely applied in the near future.

Abstract
For the first time, we demonstrate the use of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) for enhancing the carotenoid production by the extremophilic haloarchea, Haloferax mediterranei. TiO2 NPs at optimal concentration of 375 mg/L results in a 95% increase in the production of carotenoid pigment compared to the control (no TiO2 NPs). The carotenoid pigments extracted from TiO2 NPs treated H. mediterranei cells, were separated using thin layer chromatography (TLC). The separated carotenoid spots were subjected directly for MALDI MS detection. To limit the sample diffusion during matrix addition on TLC plates, a simple bordering mode was exercised. Using this method we were able to detect the pigments successfully using MALDI-MS, directly from TLC plates after separation. In addition, we also applied the Pt NPs capped with ODT via Liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) for extracting the pigment molecules from the halobacteria in MALDI-MS. These novel NP approaches possess numerous advantages such as; rapidity, ease in synthesis, high sensitivity and low cost.

Abstract
A peptide peak at m/z 1634 in the mass spectrum of tryptically digested cytochrome c has been ambiguously assigned to either a peptide IFVQKCAQCHTVEK or a peptide CAQCHTVEK combined with a heme group (CAQCHTVEK + heme (Fe(III))). A comprehensive investigation was performed to clearly identify the origin of the peak. Tryptic digests of cytochrome c were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), liquid chromatography-tandem MS (LC-MS/MS), LC-ultraviolet (LC-UV), and MALDI Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) MS. The use of instruments with extremely high mass accuracy revealed the mass difference between the IFVQKCAQCHTVEK and the (CAQCHTVEK + heme (Fe(III))) ions. Fragmentation of the peptide associated with the unknown peak yielded a heme ion and other fragment ions originating from a (CAQCHTVEK + heme (Fe(III))) ion. Furthermore, an absorption peak at 395 nm confirmed the presence of a heme group in the unknown peptide. High mass accuracy analyses of MS and MS/MS spectra, in addition to three-dimensional UV contour mapping, showed that the peak at m/z 1634 is due to a (CAQCHTVEK + heme (Fe(III))) ion and not from protonated IFVQKCAQCHTVEK.

Abstract
The introduction of nanoparticles into mass spectrometric research greatly influenced the applicability of this technique into various omics. Surface-modified or functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) have recently extended the use of mass spectrometry into microorganism research. We survey the application of unmodified NPs, for microorganism research, on the basis of our expertise in this area within the recent years in this decade. The use of unmodified NPs in mass spectrometry, especially with respect to microorganisms, is an untreaded research area, which we have ventured to probe and have been fruitful. On the basis of our experience, we provide an insight into the principle behind the use of unmodified NPs and provide guidelines to be followed to obtain significant results. We also brief the current scenario of nanoparticle interaction-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (NPILDI-MS) for rapid, simple, direct and sensitive detection of microorganisms on the basis of our past and present reports, quoting examples of successful application of this technique. Finally, we address the future of the NPILDI-MS technique and the tools needed to reach those visions.

Abstract
In this study, we combined surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) with HgTe nanostructures as matrix for the detection of several proteins (α1-antitrypsin, trypsin, IgG, protein G) and their complexes. We investigated the effects of several parameters (the concentration and nature of surfactants and metal ions, the pH, and concentration of the analytes in the sample matrixes) on the sensitivity of the detection of these proteins and their complexes. The presence of stabilizing Brij 76 surfactant and Zn(II) ions allowed the detection of weak protein complexes, such as α1-antitrypsin-trypsin and IgG-protein G complexes, at the picomole level. We observed multiply charged states at m/z 72,160 ([α1-antitrypsin + trypsin + H](+)) and 86,585 ([IgG + protein G + 2H](2+)) for the α1-antitrypsin-trypsin and IgG-protein G complexes, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, detection of weak protein complexes and determination of their stoichiometry have not been demonstrated previously when a combination of SALDI-MS and nanostructures were used. This simple and reproducible SALDI-MS approach using HgTe nanostructures holds great potential for the detection of other proteins and their complexes.

Abstract
Functionalized quantum dots with dopamine dithiocarbamate (QDs-DDTC) were utilized for the first time as an efficient material for the quantification of efavirenz in human plasma of HIV infected patients and rapid identification of microwave tryptic digest proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme and BSA) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The synthesized QDs-DDTC was characterized by using spectroscopic (UV-visible, FT-IR and (1)H NMR) and microscopic (SEM and TEM) techniques. Functionalized QDs-DDTC exhibited a high desorption/ionization efficiency for the rapid quantification of small molecules (efavirenz, tobramycin and aspartame) at low-mass region. QDs-DDTC has well ability to trap target species, and capable to transfer laser energy for efficient desorption/ionization of analytes with background-free detection. The use of QDs-DDTC as a matrix provided good linearity for the quantification of small molecules (R(2)=~0.9983), with good reproducibility (RSD<10%), in the analysis of efavirenz in the plasma of HIV infected patients by the standard addition method. We also demonstrated that the use of functionalized QDs-DDTC as affinity probes for the rapid identification of microwave tryptic digested proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme and BSA) by MALDI-TOF-MS. QDs-DDTC-based MALDI-TOF-MS approach provides simplicity, rapidity, accuracy, and precision for the determination of efavirenz in human plasma of HIV infected patients and rapid identification of microwave tryptic digested proteins. This new material presents a marked advance in the development of matrix-free mass spectrometric methods for the rapid and precise quantitative determination of a variety of molecules. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Proteomics: The clinical link.
