Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:1273-1283. [PMID: 37295949 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.001069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Mass spectrometric imaging is a nontargeted, tag-free, high-throughput, and highly responsive analytical approach. The highly accurate molecular visualization detection technology enables qualitative and quantitative analyses of biologic tissues or cells scanned by mass spectrometry in situ, extracting known and unknown multiple compounds, and simultaneously assessing relative contents of targeting molecules by monitoring their molecular ions and pinpointing the spatial locations of those molecules distributed. Five mass spectrometric imaging techniques and their characteristics are introduced in the review, including matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, secondary ion mass spectrometry, desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry-based techniques provide the possibility for spatial metabolomics with the capability of high throughput and precision detection. The approaches have been widely employed to spatially image not only metabolome of endogenous amino acids, peptides, proteins, neurotransmitters, and lipids but also the disposition of exogenous chemicals, such as pharmaceutical agents, environmental pollutants, toxicants, natural products, and heavy metals. The techniques also provide us with spatial distribution imaging of analytes in single cells, tissue microregions, organs, and whole animals. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The review article includes an overview of five commonly used mass spectrometers for spatial imaging and describes the advantages and disadvantages of each. Examples of the technology applications cover drug disposition, diseases, and omics. Technical aspects of relative and absolute quantification by mass spectrometric imaging and challenges for future new applications are discussed as well. The reviewed knowledge may benefit the development of new drugs and provide a better understanding of biochemical processes related to physiology and diseases.

Abstract
Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) is one of the least specimen destructive ambient ionization mass spectrometry tissue imaging methods. It enables rapid simultaneous mapping, measurement, and identification of hundreds of molecules from an unmodified tissue sample. Over the years, since its first introduction as an imaging technique in 2005, DESI-MSI has been extensively developed as a tool for separating tissue regions of various histopathologic classes for diagnostic applications. Recently, DESI-MSI has also emerged as a versatile technique that enables drug discovery and can guide the efficient development of drug delivery systems. For example, it has been increasingly employed for uncovering unique patterns of in vivo drug distribution, the discovery of potentially treatable biochemical pathways, revealing novel druggable targets, predicting therapeutic sensitivity of diseased tissues, and identifying early tissue response to pharmacological treatment. These and other recent advances in implementing DESI-MSI as the tool for the development of novel therapies are highlighted in this review.

Lung specific homing of diphenyleneiodonium chloride improves pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting macrophage M2 metabolic program. J Adv Res 2023; 44:213-225.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a fatal disease with a variable and unpredictable course. Effective clinical treatment for PF remains a challenge due to low drug accumulation in lungs and imbalanced polarization of pro/anti-fibrotic macrophages. OBJECTIVES To identify the alteration of immunometabolism in the pulmonary macrophages and investigate the feasibility of specific inhibition of M2 activation of macrophages as an effective anti-PF strategy in vivo. METHODS The high-content screening system was used to select lung-specific homing compounds that can modulate macrophage polarization. Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) conjugated with chemical proteomics approach was conducted to explore the cells and proteins targeted by diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI). A bleomycin-induced fibrotic mouse model was established to examine the in vivo effect of DPI. RESULTS Pulmonary macrophages of PF at late stage exhibited predominantly the M2 phenotype with decreased glycolysis metabolism. DPI was demonstrated to inhibit profibrotic activation of macrophages in the preliminary screening. Notably, IMS conjugated with chemical proteomics approach revealed DPI specifically targeted pulmonary macrophages, leading to the efficient protection from bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Mechanistically, DPI upregulated glycolysis and suppressed M2 programming in fibrosis mice, thus resulting in pro-fibrotic cytokine inhibition, hydroxyproline biosynthesis, and collagen deposition, with a concomitant increase in alveolar airspaces. CONCLUSIONS DPI mediated glycolysis in lung and accordingly suppressed M2 programming, resulting in improved lung fibrosis.

Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:3096-3111. [PMID: 36229602 PMCID: PMC9712638 DOI: 10.1038/s41401-022-00990-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Natural products (NPs) and their structural analogs represent a major source of novel drug development for disease prevention and treatment. The development of new drugs from NPs includes two crucial aspects. One is the discovery of NPs from medicinal plants/microorganisms, and the other is the evaluation of the NPs in vivo at various physiological and pathological states. The heterogeneous spatial distribution of NPs in medicinal plants/microorganisms or in vivo can provide valuable information for drug development. However, few molecular imaging technologies can detect thousands of compounds simultaneously on a label-free basis. Over the last two decades, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) methods have progressively improved and diversified, thereby allowing for the development of various applications of NPs in plants/microorganisms and in vivo NP research. Because MSI allows for the spatial mapping of the production and distribution of numerous molecules in situ without labeling, it provides a visualization tool for NP research. Therefore, we have focused this mini-review on summarizing the applications of MSI technology in discovering NPs from medicinal plants and evaluating NPs in preclinical studies from the perspective of new drug research and development (R&D). Additionally, we briefly reviewed the factors that should be carefully considered to obtain the desired MSI results. Finally, the future development of MSI in new drug R&D is proposed.

Abstract
Deconvolution of potential drug targets of the central nervous system (CNS) is particularly challenging because of the complicated structure and function of the brain. Here, a spatiotemporally resolved metabolomics and isotope tracing strategy was proposed and demonstrated to be powerful for deconvoluting and localizing potential targets of CNS drugs by using ambient mass spectrometry imaging. This strategy can map various substances including exogenous drugs, isotopically labeled metabolites, and various types of endogenous metabolites in the brain tissue sections to illustrate their microregional distribution pattern in the brain and locate drug action-related metabolic nodes and pathways. The strategy revealed that the sedative-hypnotic drug candidate YZG-331 was prominently distributed in the pineal gland and entered the thalamus and hypothalamus in relatively small amounts, and can increase glutamate decarboxylase activity to elevate γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the hypothalamus, agonize organic cation transporter 3 to release extracellular histamine into peripheral circulation. These findings emphasize the promising capability of spatiotemporally resolved metabolomics and isotope tracing to help elucidate the multiple targets and the mechanisms of action of CNS drugs.

Abstract
Identifying the writing sequence of seals and signatures in documents is often performed and difficult to resolve in forensic determination. Morphological and physical-chemical analysis methods are often limited by the destructive nature of samples, a high signal response strength and specific materials. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been used as an alternative method because it can generate molecular images from many surfaces and produce rich chemical information. Herein, we developed a sequence identification method by coupling an air flow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization (AFADESI)-MSI system with a chemometric analysis, which can holistically and directly analyse document samples under ambient, moderate and selectable conditions and maintain the original appearance of the paper documents after sampling. By integrating principal component analysis (PCA) and the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), equivocal point analysis can be objectively performed, where knowing the components of the seal or signature is not necessary to identify the sequence. In total, 28 prepared samples with known sequences and two original blind test samples were analysed. One prepared sample was analysed in negative ionization mode, and other samples were inferred in positive ionization mode. All writing sequences were in accordance with the actual case. The writing sequence of the blind testing of the original samples was correctly identified. This study provided a convenient, objective and quasi-nondestructive method to investigate the sequence differences among equivocal document samples and is promising for providing an alternative method for the sequence identification of seals and signatures in questionable documents.

Abstract
Investigation on the distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in aquatic organisms is of great importance for exploring the biological toxicity and health risks of environmental pollutants. In this study, a liquid extraction surface analysis mass spectrometry (LESA-MS) method was developed for rapid and in situ analysis of the spatial distribution of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in zebrafish. By combining the high-precision automated moving platform of LESA device and the high-resolution MS, quantitative analysis of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in zebrafish tissue section were easily achieved. A tissue-specific ionization efficiency factor (TSF) strategy was also proposed to correct the matrix effect in different parts of zebrafish tissue. By using the developed method, high sensitive and efficient imaging of PFOA and PFOS in zebrafish tissue was achieved, and the distributions of PFOA and PFOS in descending order were gills, organs, roes, pelvic fin, muscle, and brain. The experimental results demonstrated that the coupling of LESA-MS method with TFS strategy is an efficient and reliable approach for monitoring the content distribution of environmental pollutants in biological tissues.

Abstract
Tissues are an exciting frontier for bioanalytical chemistry, one in which spatial distribution is just as important as total content. Intact tissue preserves the native cellular and molecular organization and the cell-cell contacts found in vivo. Live tissue, in particular, offers the potential to analyze dynamic events in a spatially resolved manner, leading to fundamental biological insights and translational discoveries. In this Perspective, we provide a tutorial on the four fundamental challenges for the bioanalytical chemist working in living tissue samples as well as best practices for mitigating them. The challenges include (i) the complexity of the sample matrix, which contributes myriad interfering species and causes nonspecific binding of reagents; (ii) hindered delivery and mixing; (iii) the need to maintain physiological conditions; and (iv) tissue reactivity. This framework is relevant to a variety of methods for spatially resolved chemical analysis, including optical imaging, inserted sensors and probes such as electrodes, and surface analyses such as sensing arrays. The discussion focuses primarily on ex vivo tissues, though many considerations are relevant in vivo as well. Our goal is to convey the exciting potential of analytical chemistry to contribute to understanding the functions of live, intact tissues.
