JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2024; 35:1692-1701. [PMID: 39052897 PMCID: PMC11311236 DOI: 10.1021/jasms.4c00089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Gangliosides play important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. The high degree of structural heterogeneity results in significant variability in ganglioside expression patterns and greatly complicates linking structure and function. Structural characterization at the site of infection is essential in elucidating host ganglioside function in response to invading pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) enables high-specificity spatial investigation of intact gangliosides. Here, ganglioside structural and spatial heterogeneity within an S. aureus-infected mouse kidney abscess was characterized. Differences in spatial distributions were observed for gangliosides of different classes and those that differ in ceramide chain composition and oligosaccharide-bound sialic acid. Furthermore, integrating trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) allowed for the gas-phase separation and visualization of monosialylated ganglioside isomers that differ in sialic acid type and position. The isomers differ in spatial distributions within the host-pathogen interface, where molecular patterns revealed new molecular zones in the abscess previously unidentified by traditional histology.

Anal Chem 2024; 96. [PMID: 39028917 PMCID: PMC11295132 DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.4c01313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
The analysis of gangliosides is extremely challenging, given their structural complexity, lack of reference standards, databases, and software solutions. Here, we introduce a fast 6 min high field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) shotgun lipidomics workflow, along with a dedicated software solution for ganglioside detection. By ramping FAIMS compensation voltages, ideal ranges for different ganglioside classes were obtained. FAIMS revealed both class- and charge-state separation behavior based on the glycan headgroup moiety. The number of sialic acids attached to the glycan moiety correlates positively with their preferred charge states, i.e., trisialylated gangliosides were mainly present as [M - 3H]3- ions, whereas [M - 4H]4- and [M - 5H]5- ions were observed for GQ1 and GP1. For data evaluation, we developed a shotgun/FAIMS extension for the open-source Lipid Data Analyzer (LDA), enabling automated annotation of gangliosides up to the molecular lipid species level. This extension utilized combined orthogonal fragmentation spectra from CID, HCD, and 213 nm UVPD ion activation methods and covers 29 ganglioside classes, including acetylated and fucosylated modifications. With our new workflow and software extension 117 unique gangliosides species were identified in porcine brain extracts. While conventional shotgun lipidomics favored the observation of singly charged ganglioside species, the utilization of FAIMS made multiply charged lipid species accessible, resulting in an increased number of detected species, primarily due to an improved signal-to-noise ratio arising from FAIMS charge state filtering. Therefore, this FAIMS-driven workflow, complemented by new software capabilities, offers a promising strategy for complex ganglioside and glycosphingolipid characterization in shotgun lipidomics.

Abstract
Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) enables highly multiplexed, untargeted tissue mapping for a broad range of molecular classes, facilitating in situ biological discovery. Yet, challenges persist in molecular specificity, which is the ability to discern one molecule from another, and spatial specificity, which is the ability to link untargeted imaging data to specific tissue features. Instrumental developments have dramatically improved IMS spatial resolution, allowing molecular observations to be more readily associated with distinct tissue features across spatial scales, ranging from larger anatomical regions to single cells. High-performance mass analyzers and systems integrating ion mobility technologies are also becoming more prevalent, further improving molecular coverage and the ability to discern chemical identity. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in high-specificity IMS that are providing critical biological context to untargeted molecular imaging, enabling integrated analyses, and addressing advanced biomedical research applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer, characterized by metastasis and reduced 5-year survival rates, stands as a substantial factor in the mortality of gynecological malignancies worldwide. The challenge of delayed diagnosis originates from vague early symptoms and the absence of efficient screening and diagnostic biomarkers for early cancer detection. Recent studies have explored the intricate interplay between ovarian cancer and protein glycosylation, unveiling the potential significance of glycosylation-oriented biomarkers. AREAS COVERED This review examines the progress in glycosylation biomarker research, with particular emphasis on advances driven by mass spectrometry-based technologies. We document milestones achieved, discuss encountered limitations, and also highlight potential areas for future research and development of protein glycosylation biomarkers for ovarian cancer. EXPERT OPINION The association of glycosylation in ovarian cancer is well known, but current research lacks desired sensitivity and specificity for early detection. Notably, investigations into protein-specific and site-specific glycoproteomics have the potential to significantly enhance our understanding of ovarian cancer and facilitate the identification of glycosylation-based biomarkers. Furthermore, the integration of advanced mass spectrometry techniques with AI-driven analysis and glycome databases holds the promise for revolutionizing biomarker discovery for ovarian cancer, ultimately transforming diagnosis and improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Gangliosides are highly abundant in the human brain where they are involved in major biological events. In brain cancers, alterations of ganglioside pattern occur, some of which being correlated with neoplastic transformation, while others with tumor proliferation. Of all techniques, mass spectrometry (MS) has proven to be one of the most effective in gangliosidomics, due to its ability to characterize heterogeneous mixtures and discover species with biomarker value. This review highlights the most significant achievements of MS in the analysis of gangliosides in human brain cancers. The first part presents the latest state of MS development in the discovery of ganglioside markers in primary brain tumors, with a particular emphasis on the ion mobility separation (IMS) MS and its contribution to the elucidation of the gangliosidome associated with aggressive tumors. The second part is focused on MS of gangliosides in brain metastases, highlighting the ability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-MS, microfluidics-MS and tandem MS to decipher and structurally characterize species involved in the metastatic process. In the end, several conclusions and perspectives are presented, among which the need for development of reliable software and a user-friendly structural database as a search platform in brain tumor diagnostics.

Abstract
Lactoferrin is a multifunctional protein that has various biological activities and applications. However, different sources of lactoferrin may have different properties and characteristics. In this study, we hypothesized that ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (UPLC-QTOF-IMS) coupled with UNIFI software can differentiate bovine lactoferrin from camel lactoferrin based on the unique peptides produced by trypsin digestion. We enzymatically digested the proteins using trypsin and analyzed the resulting peptides using Uniport software and in silico digestion. We identified 14 marker peptides that were unique to bovine lactoferrin and could be used to distinguish it from camel lactoferrin. We also demonstrated the advantages of 4D proteomics over 3D proteomics in separating and identifying peptides based on their mass, retention time, intensity, and ion mobility. This method can be applied to other lactoferrin sources and improve the quality control and authentication of lactoferrin products.

Abstract
The brain extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly glycosylated environment and plays important roles in many processes including cell communication, growth factor binding, and scaffolding. The formation of structures such as perineuronal nets (PNNs) is critical in neuroprotection and neural plasticity, and the formation of molecular networks is dependent in part on glycans. The ECM is also implicated in the neuropathophysiology of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Schizophrenia (SZ). As such, it is of interest to understand both the proteomic and glycomic makeup of healthy and diseased brain ECM. Further, there is a growing need for site-specific glycoproteomic information. Over the past decade, sample preparation, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatic methods have been developed and refined to provide comprehensive information about the glycoproteome. Core ECM molecules including versican, hyaluronan and proteoglycan link proteins, and tenascin are dysregulated in AD, PD, and SZ. Glycomic changes such as differential sialylation, sulfation, and branching are also associated with neurodegeneration. A more thorough understanding of the ECM and its proteomic, glycomic, and glycoproteomic changes in brain diseases may provide pathways to new therapeutic options.

Abstract
RATIONALE Isomeric separation of prostanoids is often a challenge and requires chromatography and time-consuming sample preparation. Multiple prostanoid isomers have distinct in vivo functions crucial for understanding the inflammation process, including prostaglandins E2 (PGE2 ) and D2 (PGD2 ). High-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) based on linear ion transport in low-to-moderate electric fields and nonlinear ion transport in strong electric fields emerges as a broad approach for rapid separations prior to mass spectrometry. METHODS Derivatization with Girard's reagent T (GT) was used to overcome inefficient ionization of prostanoids in negative ionization mode due to poor deprotonation of the carboxylic acid group. Three high-resolution IMS techniques, namely linear cyclic IMS, linear trapped IMS, and nonlinear high-field asymmetric waveform IMS, were compared for the isomeric separation and endogenous detection of prostanoids present in intestinal tissue. RESULTS Direct infusion of GT-derivatized prostanoids proved to increase the ionization efficiency in positive ionization mode by a factor of >10, which enabled detection of these molecules in endogenous concentration levels. The high-resolution IMS comparison revealed its potential for rapid isomeric analysis of biologically relevant prostanoids. Strengths and weaknesses of both linear and nonlinear IMS are discussed. Endogenous prostanoid detection in intestinal tissue extracts demonstrated the applicability of our approach in biomedical research. CONCLUSIONS The applied derivatization strategy offers high sensitivity and improved stereoisomeric separation for screening of complex biological systems. The high-resolution IMS comparison indicated that the best sensitivity and resolution are achieved by linear and nonlinear IMS, respectively.

Abstract
Glycosylation is an important posttranslational modifier of proteins and lipid conjugates critical for the stability and function of these macromolecules. Particularly important are N-linked glycans attached to asparagine residues in proteins. N-glycans have well-defined roles in protein folding, cellular trafficking and signal transduction, and alterations to them are implicated in a variety of diseases. However, the non-template driven biosynthesis of these N-glycans leads to significant structural diversity, making it challenging to identify the most biologically and clinically relevant species using conventional analyses. Advances in mass spectrometry instrumentation and data acquisition, as well as in enzymatic and chemical sample preparation strategies, have positioned mass spectrometry approaches as powerful analytical tools for the characterization of glycosylation in health and disease. Imaging mass spectrometry expands upon these strategies by capturing the spatial component of a glycan's distribution in-situ, lending additional insight into the organization and function of these molecules. Herein we review the ongoing evolution of glycan imaging mass spectrometry beginning with widely adopted tissue imaging approaches and expanding to other matrices and sample types with potential research and clinical implications. Adaptations of these techniques, along with their applications to various states of disease, are discussed. Collectively, glycan imaging mass spectrometry analyses broaden our understanding of the biological and clinical relevance of N-glycosylation to human disease.

Abstract
Highly selective and sensitive analytical techniques are necessary for microbial metabolomics due to the complexity of the microbial sample matrix. Hence, mass spectrometry (MS) has been successfully applied in microbial metabolomics due to its high precision, versatility, sensitivity, and wide dynamic range. The different analytical tools using MS have been employed in microbial metabolomics investigations and can contribute to the discovery or accelerate the search for bioactive substances. The coupling with chromatographic and electrophoretic separation techniques has resulted in more efficient technologies for the analysis of microbial compounds occurring in trace levels. This book chapter describes the current advances in the application of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics in the search for new biologically active agents from microbial sources; the development of new approaches for in silico annotation of natural products; the different technologies employing mass spectrometry imaging to deliver more comprehensive analysis and elucidate the metabolome involved in ecological interactions as they enable visualization of the spatial dispersion of small molecules. We also describe other ambient ionization techniques applied to the fingerprint of microbial natural products and modern techniques such as ion mobility mass spectrometry used to microbial metabolomic analyses and the dereplication of natural microbial products through MS.

Abstract
Although as an analytical method with high specificity and high sensitivity, mass spectrometry (MS) has a wide range of applications in many fields, it still needs other technologies as the assist and supplement to enhance the scope and capability of analysis. Coupling with ion mobility (IM) can make an enhancement effect in the field of pharmaceutical analysis as a supplementary method. The two-dimensional mass technology improves the confidence of compounds annotations while increasing peak capacity, with the gradual deepening of theoretical research on IM-MS, it has shown unique advantages in the complex analysis conditions. IM-MS owns great potential for improving the depth, range, dimension of in-depth drug research. In this review, the principle, instruments and methods, applications, advantages and limitations of IM-MS are described. Here, we also elaborate on the prospects in structural evaluation, separation, and identification of complex compounds for the drug discovery and development phase and the great advantages of macromolecules and omics.

Abstract
Researchers worldwide are taking advantage of novel, commercially available, technologies, such as ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS), for metabolomics and lipidomics applications in a variety of fields including life, biomedical, and food sciences. IM-MS provides three main technical advantages over traditional LC-MS workflows. Firstly, in addition to mass, IM-MS allows collision cross-section values to be measured for metabolites and lipids, a physicochemical identifier related to the chemical shape of an analyte that increases the confidence of identification. Second, IM-MS increases peak capacity and the signal-to-noise, improving fingerprinting as well as quantification, and better defining the spatial localization of metabolites and lipids in biological and food samples. Third, IM-MS can be coupled with various fragmentation modes, adding new tools to improve structural characterization and molecular annotation. Here, we review the state-of-the-art in IM-MS technologies and approaches utilized to support metabolomics and lipidomics applications and we assess the challenges and opportunities in this growing field.

Abstract
Cells encode information in the sequence of biopolymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans. Although glycans are essential to all living organisms, surprisingly little is known about the "sugar code" and the biological roles of these molecules. The reason glycobiology lags behind its counterparts dealing with nucleic acids and proteins lies in the complexity of carbohydrate structures, which renders their analysis extremely challenging. Building blocks that may differ only in the configuration of a single stereocenter, combined with the vast possibilities to connect monosaccharide units, lead to an immense variety of isomers, which poses a formidable challenge to conventional mass spectrometry. In recent years, however, a combination of innovative ion activation methods, commercialization of ion mobility-mass spectrometry, progress in gas-phase ion spectroscopy, and advances in computational chemistry have led to a revolution in mass spectrometry-based glycan analysis. The present review focuses on the above techniques that expanded the traditional glycomics toolkit and provided spectacular insight into the structure of these fascinating biomolecules. To emphasize the specific challenges associated with them, major classes of mammalian glycans are discussed in separate sections. By doing so, we aim to put the spotlight on the most important element of glycobiology: the glycans themselves.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ion mobility-mass spectrometry is an emerging technology in the clinical setting for high throughput and high confidence molecular characterization from complex biological samples. Ion mobility spectrometry can provide isomer separations on the basis of molecular structure, the ability of which is increasing through technological developments that afford enhanced resolving power. Integrating multiple separation dimensions, such as liquid chromatography-ion mobility-mass spectrometry (LC-IM-MS) provide dramatic enhancements in the mitigation of molecular interferences for high accuracy clinical measurements. AREAS COVERED Multidimensional separations with LC-IM-MS provide better selectivity and sensitivity in molecular analysis. Mass spectrometry imaging of tissues to inform spatial molecular distribution is improved by complementary ion mobility analyses. Biomarker identification in surgical environments is enhanced by intraoperative biochemical analysis with mass spectrometry and holds promise for integration with ion mobility spectrometry. New prospects in high resolving power ion mobility are enhancing analysis capabilities, such as distinguishing isomeric compounds. EXPERT OPINION Ion mobility-mass spectrometry holds many prospects for the field of isomer identification, molecular imaging, and intraoperative tumor margin delineation in clinical settings. These advantages are afforded while maintaining fast analysis times and subsequently high throughput. High resolving power ion mobility will enhance these advantages further, in particular for analyses requiring high confidence isobaric selectivity and detection.

Abstract
Fluoropezil (DC20) is a new selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, and it was developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients. In this study, a desorption electrospray ionization source coupling ion mobility mass spectrometry imaging (DESI/IMS-MSI) method was developed to explore the distribution of DC20 in brain tissue following oral administration. Rat brain coronal slices obtained 1 h and 3 h following drug dosing were used in the study. D6-DC20 was used as internal standard and sprayed by matrix sprayer on the brain slices to calibrate the matrix effect. Ion mobility separation was used to reduce the interference from background noise and the biological matrix. By optimizing DESI-MSI parameters for improved sensitivity, the limit of quantitation of the method was 1.45 pg/mm2 with a linear range from 1.45 to 72.7 pg/mm2. DESI-MSI data showed that DC20 could quickly enter and diffuse across whole brain and tended to be much more enriched in striatum than cerebral cortex and hippocampus, which was consistent with quantitative analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to measure DC20 concentration in each homogenized brain sub-region. The workflow of tissue imaging method optimization and strategy were established, and for the first time, the DESI-MSI technique and optimized method were used to explore the distribution characteristics of DC20 in rat brain, which could help elucidate pharmacological effect mechanisms and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
This review is the ninth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2016. Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. 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. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and the enormous impact that MALDI imaging is having. MALDI, although invented over 30 years ago is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and range of applications show no sign of deminishing. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The study of biological specimens by mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has had a profound influence in the various forms of spatial-omics over the past two decades including applications for the identification of clinical biomarker analysis; the metabolic fingerprinting of disease states; treatment with therapeutics; and the profiling of lipids, peptides and proteins. No singular approach is able to globally map all biomolecular classes simultaneously. This led to the development of many complementary multimodal imaging approaches to solve analytical problems: fusing multiple ionization techniques, imaging microscopy or spectroscopy, or local extractions into robust multimodal imaging methods. However, each fusion typically requires the melding of analytical information from multiple commercial platforms, and the tandem utilization of multiple commercial or third-party software platforms—even in some cases requiring computer coding. Herein, we report the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) in tandem with desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) imaging in the positive ion mode on a singular commercial orthogonal dual-source Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) instrument for the complementary detection of multiple analyte classes by MSI from tissue. The DESI source was 3D printed and the commercial Bruker Daltonics software suite was used to generate mass spectrometry images in tandem with the commercial MALDI source. This approach allows for the generation of multiple modes of mass spectrometry images without the need for third-party software and a customizable platform for ambient ionization imaging. Highlighted is the streamlined workflow needed to obtain phospholipid profiles, as well as increased depth of coverage of both annotated phospholipid, cardiolipin, and ganglioside species from rat brain with both high spatial and mass resolution.

Abstract
Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) was one of the dominent active components in several Panax medicinal species as Panax notoginseng and Panaxginseng with diversified bioactivities. However, the study on tissue distribution of Rg1 remained limited and needed to be further explored for elucidation of its spatial distribution. In the present study, a LC-MS/MS combined with nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry method was developed for exploration of tissue distribution of Rg1 at different time points after intravenous administration to rats. Furthermore, a MS inlet-heat method was developed to improve the imaging efficacy of Rg1 in brain tissue. The results obtained from LC-MS/MS analysis indicated that kidney possessed the highest tissue concentration, followed by liver, lung, spleen, heart and brain. Meanwhile, the elimination of Rg1 was swift within 1 h. For the spatial distribution of Rg1 by DESI-MS, Rg1 mainly accumulated in the pelvis section of kidney. Meanwhile, the imaging result of brain implied that Rg1 might be distributed in the pons and medulla oblongata region of brain at 15 min after intravenous administration. It is anticipated that the data on tissue distribution of Rg1 could provide references for further probing its efficacy and drug development.

Abstract
Gangliosides are particularly abundant in the nervous system (NS) where their pattern and structure in a certain milieu or a defined region exhibit a pronounced specificity. Since gangliosides are useful biomarkers for diagnosis of NS ailments, a clear-cut mapping of individual components represents a prerequisite for designing ganglioside-based diagnostic procedures, treatments, or vaccines. These bioclinical aspects and the high diversity of ganglioside species claim for development of specific analytical strategies. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art in the implementation of separation techniques and microfluidics coupled to MS, which have contributed significantly to the advancement of the field. In the first part, the review discusses relevant approaches based on HPLC MS and CE coupled to ESI MS and their applications in the characterization of gangliosides expressed in healthy and diseased NS. A considerable section is dedicated to microfluidics MS and ion mobility separation MS, developed for the study of brain gangliosidome and its changes triggered by various factors, as well as for ganglioside biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative diseases and brain cancer. In the last part of the review, the benefits and perspectives in ganglioside research of these high-performance techniques are presented.

Abstract
Introduction: We present our views on the current application of mass spectrometry (MS) based lipidomics and how lipidomics can develop in the next decade to be most practical use to society. That is not to say that lipidomics has not already been of value. In-fact, in its earlier guise as metabolite profiling most of the pathways of steroid biosynthesis were uncovered and via focused lipidomics many inborn errors of metabolism are routinely clinically identified. However, can lipidomics be extended to improve biochemical understanding of, and to diagnose, the most prevalent diseases of the 21st century? Areas covered: We will highlight the concept of 'level of identification' and the equally crucial topic of 'quantification'. Only by using a standardized language for these terms can lipidomics be translated to fields beyond academia. We will remind the lipid scientist of the value of chemical derivatization, a concept exploited since the dawn of lipid biochemistry. Expert opinion: Only by agreement of the concepts of identification and quantification and their incorporation in lipidomics reporting can lipidomics maximize its value.

Abstract
Imaging mass spectrometry has become a mature molecular mapping technology that is used for molecular discovery in many medical and biological systems. While powerful by itself, imaging mass spectrometry can be complemented by the addition of other orthogonal, chemically informative imaging technologies to maximize the information gained from a single experiment and enable deeper understanding of biological processes. Within this review, we describe MALDI, SIMS, and DESI imaging mass spectrometric technologies and how these have been integrated with other analytical modalities such as microscopy, transcriptomics, spectroscopy, and electrochemistry in a field termed multimodal imaging. We explore the future of this field and discuss forthcoming developments that will bring new insights to help unravel the molecular complexities of biological systems, from single cells to functional tissue structures and organs.

Abstract
Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) technologies are capable of mapping a wide array of biomolecules in diverse cellular and tissue environments. IMS has emerged as an essential tool for providing spatially targeted molecular information due to its high sensitivity, wide molecular coverage, and chemical specificity. One of the major challenges for mapping the complex cellular milieu is the presence of many isomers and isobars in these samples. This challenge is traditionally addressed using orthogonal liquid chromatography (LC)-based analysis, though, common approaches such as chromatography and electrophoresis are not able to be performed at timescales that are compatible with most imaging applications. Ion mobility offers rapid, gas-phase separations that are readily integrated with IMS workflows in order to provide additional data dimensionality that can improve signal-to-noise, dynamic range, and specificity. Here, we highlight recent examples of ion mobility coupled to IMS and highlight their importance to the field.

Abstract
Lipids are a structurally diverse class of molecules with important biological functions including cellular signaling and energy storage. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) allows for direct mapping of biomolecules in tissues. Fully characterizing the structural diversity of lipids remains a challenge due to the presence of isobaric and isomeric species, which greatly complicates data interpretation when only m/z information is available. Integrating ion mobility separations aids in deconvoluting these complex mixtures and addressing the challenges of lipid IMS. Here, we demonstrate that a MALDI quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer with trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) enables a >250% increase in the peak capacity during IMS experiments. MALDI TIMS-MS separation of lipid isomer standards, including sn backbone isomers, acyl chain isomers, and double-bond position and stereoisomers, is demonstrated. As a proof of concept, in situ separation and imaging of lipid isomers with distinct spatial distributions were performed using tissue sections from a whole-body mouse pup.

Direct Drug Analysis in Polymeric Implants Using Desorption Electrospray Ionization - Mass Spectrometry Imaging (DESI-MSI). Pharm Res 2020; 37:107. [PMID: 32462273 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-020-02823-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 04/14/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) coupled with gas-phase ion mobility spectrometry was used to characterize the drug distribution in polymeric implants before and after exposure to accelerated in vitro release (IVR) media. DESI-MSI provides definitive chemical identification and localization of formulation components, including 2D chemical mapping of individual components with essentially no sample preparation. METHODS Polymeric implants containing 40% (w/w) entecavir and poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA) were prepared and then exposed to either acidified PBS (pH 2.5) or MeOH:H2O (50:50, v/v) medias during a 7-day IVR test using continuous flow-through (CFT) cell dissolution. The amount of drug released from the polymer matrix during the 7-day IVR test was monitored by online-ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) and HPLC-UV. After that period, intact implants and radial sections of implants were analyzed by DESI-MSI with ion mobility spectrometry. The active ingredient along with impurities and contaminants were used to generate chemical maps before and after exposure to the release medias. RESULTS Bi-phasic release profiles were observed for implants during IVR release using both medias. During the second phase of release, implants exposed to PBS, pH 2.5, released the entecavir faster than the implants exposed to MeOH:H2O (50:50, v/v). Radial images of the polymer interior show that entecavir is localized along the central core of the implant after exposure to MeOH:H2O (50:50, v/v) and that the drug is more uniformly distributed throughout the implant after exposure to acidified PBS (pH 2.5). CONCLUSIONS DESI-MSI coupled with ion mobility analysis produced chemical images of the drug distribution on the exterior and interior of cylindrical polymeric implants before and after exposure to various release medias. These results demonstrated the utility of this technique for rapid characterization of drug and impurity/degradant distribution within polymeric implants with direct implications for formulation development as well as analytical method development activities for various solid parenteral and oral dosage forms. These results are especially meaningful since samples were analyzed with essentially no preparative procedures.

Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) represents a considerable asset for analytics of complex samples as it allows for rapid mass spectrometric separation of compounds. IMS is even more useful for the separation of isobaric compounds when classical separation methods such as liquid chromatography or electrophoresis cannot be used, e.g., during matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) analyses of biological surfaces. In the present study, we proved the usefulness of IMS for pharmacological applications of MALDI analyses on tissue sections. To illustrate our proof-of-concept, we used the anthelmintic drug mebendazole (MBZ) as a model. Using this exemplary drug, we demonstrated the possibility of using ion mobility to discriminate a drug in tissues from the biological background that masked its signal at low concentrations. In this proof-of-concept, the IMS mode together with the use of a profiling approach for sample preparation enabled quantification of the model drug MBZ from tissue sections in the concentration range 5 to 5,000 ng/g and with a limit of detection of 1 ng/g of tissue, within 2 h. This study highlights the importance of IMS as a separation method for on-surface quantification of drugs in tissue sections.

Abstract
Gangliosides have a wide variety of biological functions due to their location on the outer leaflet of plasma membranes. They form a critical component of membrane rafts, or ganglioside-enriched microdomains, where they influence the physical properties of the membrane as well as its function. Gangliosides can change their structure to meet their external and internal environmental demands. This ability to change structure makes gangliosides both fascinating and technologically challenging targets to identify and understand. A full understanding on how gangliosides are regulated within the central nervous system (CNS) is critical, as ganglioside dysregulation is observed in the aging brain as well as in several neurodegenerative injuries and diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and several lysosomal storage disorders diseases, including Tay Sach's disease. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a useful means to better understand ganglioside composition and function. Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) provides the added benefit of placing analytical information within an anatomical context. This review article will discuss recent advances in MS-based detection methods, with a focus on IMS-based approaches to help understand the spatial-specific role gangliosides in the healthy brain as in CNS injuries and disease.

Abstract
Tumors are characterized by metabolic dysregulation, reprogramming, and the presence of metabolites, which can act both as energy mediators and signaling messengers. Measuring the concentration and composition of metabolites in the tumor microenvironment can help to better understand the tumor pathology and might improve therapeutic treatments. Metabolomics can provide a description of the physiological and pathological status, as well as help to identify biomarkers of the disease. Additionally, mass spectrometry-based tissue imaging techniques can show the spatial distribution of metabolites. In this chapter we present protocols for the extraction and analysis of metabolites and lipids, with emphasis on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and mass spectrometry imaging.

Abstract
Introduction: For decades, the role of glycans and glycoproteins in the progression of breast cancer and other cancers have been evaluated. Through extensive studies focused on elucidating the biological functions of glycosylation, researchers have been able to implicate alterations in these functions to tumor formation and metastasis. Areas covered: In this review, we summarize how changes in glycosylation are associated with tumorigenesis, with emphasis on breast cancers. An overview of the changes in N-linked and O-linked glycans associated with breast cancer tumors and biofluids are described. Recent advances in glycomics are emphasized in the context of continuing to decipher the glycosylation changes associated with breast cancer progression. Expert opinion: While changes in glycosylation have been studied in breast cancer for many years, the clinical relevance of these studies has been limited. This reflects the inherent biological and clinical heterogeneity of breast cancers. Glycomics analysis lags behind the advances in genomics and proteomics, but new approaches are emerging. A summary of known glycosylation changes associated with breast cancer is necessary to implement new findings in the context of clinical outcomes and therapeutic strategies. A better understanding of the dynamics of tumor and immune glycosylation is critical to improving emerging immunotherapeutic treatments.

Abstract
Ambient mass spectrometry (AMS)-based techniques are performed under ambient conditions in which the ionization and desorption occur in the open environment allowing the direct analysis of molecules with minimal or no sample preparation. A selected group of AMS techniques demonstrate imaging capabilities that can provide information about the localization of molecules on complex sample surfaces such as biological tissues. 2D, 3D, and multimodal imaging have unlocked an array of applications to systematically address complex problems in many areas of research such as drug monitoring, natural products, forensics, and cancer diagnostics. In the present review, we summarize recent advances in the field with respect to the implementation of new ambient ionization techniques and current applications in the last 5 years. In more detail, we mainly focus on imaging applications in topics related to animal whole bodies and tissues, single cells, cancer diagnostics and biomarkers, microbial cultures and co-cultures, plant and natural product metabolomics, and forensic applications. Finally, we discuss new areas of research, future perspectives, and the overall direction that the field may take in the years to come.

Abstract
Ambient Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis is widely used to characterize biological and non-biological samples. Advancements that allow rapid analysis of samples by ambient methods such as Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (DESI-MS) and Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) are discussed. A short, non-comprehensive overview of ambient MS is provided that only contains example applications due to space limitations. A spatially encoded mass spectrometry analysis concept to plan cancer resection is introduced. The application of minimally destructive tissue ablation probes to survey the surgical field for sites of pathology using on-line analysis methods is discussed. The technological challenges that must be overcome for ambient MS to become a robust method for intrasurgical pathology assessments are reviewed.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry is being used in many clinical research areas ranging from toxicology to personalized medicine. Of all the mass spectrometry techniques, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), in particular, has continuously grown towards clinical acceptance. Significant technological and methodological improvements have contributed to enhance the performance of MSI recently, pushing the limits of throughput, spatial resolution, and sensitivity. This has stimulated the spread of MSI usage across various biomedical research areas such as oncology, neurological disorders, cardiology, and rheumatology, just to name a few. After highlighting the latest major developments and applications touching all aspects of translational research (i.e. from early pre-clinical to clinical research), we will discuss the present challenges in translational research performed with MSI: data management and analysis, molecular coverage and identification capabilities, and finally, reproducibility across multiple research centers, which is the largest remaining obstacle in moving MSI towards clinical routine.

Abstract
Desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) is typically known for the ionisation of small molecules such as lipids and metabolites, in singly charged form. Here we present a method that allows the direct detection of proteins and peptides in multiply charged forms directly from tissue sections by DESI. Utilising a heated mass spectrometer inlet capillary, combined with ion mobility separation (IMS), the conditions with regard to solvent composition, nebulising gas flow, and solvent flow rate have been explored and optimised. Without the use of ion mobility separation prior to mass spectrometry analysis, only the most abundant charge series were observed. In addition to the dominant haemoglobin subunit(s) related trend line in the m/z vs drift time (DT) 2D plot, trend lines were found relating to background solvent peaks, residual lipids and, more importantly, small proteins/large peptides of lower abundance. These small proteins/peptides were observed with charge states from 1+ to 12+, the majority of which could only be resolved from the background when using IMS. By extracting charge series from the 2D m/z vs DT plot, a number of proteins could be tentatively assigned by accurate mass. Tissue images were acquired with a pixel size of 150 μm showing a marked improvement in protein image resolution compared to other liquid-based ambient imaging techniques such as liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) and continuous-flow liquid microjunction surface sampling probe (LMJ-SSP) imaging.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has proven to be a valuable tool for drug and metabolite imaging in pharmaceutical toxicology studies and can reveal, for example, accumulation of drug candidates in early drug development. However, the lack of sample cleanup and chromatographic separation can hamper the analysis due to isobaric interferences. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) uses unique precursor ion-product ion transitions to add specificity which leads to higher selectivity. Here, we present a targeted imaging platform where desorption electrospray ionization is combined with a triple quadrupole (QqQ) system to perform MRM imaging. The platform was applied to visualize (i) lipids in mouse brain tissue sections and (ii) a drug candidate and metabolite in canine liver tissue. All QqQ modes were investigated to show the increased detection time provided by MRM as well as the possibility to perform dual polarity imaging. This is very beneficial for lipid imaging because some phospholipid classes ionize in opposite polarity (e.g., phosphatidylcholine/sphingomyelin in positive ion mode and phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylethanolamine in negative ion mode). Drug and metabolite images were obtained to show its strength in drug distribution studies. Multiple MRM transitions were used to confirm the local presence and selective detection of pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract
Tissues present complex biochemical and morphological composition associated with their various cell types and physiological functions. Mass spectrometry (MS) imaging technologies are powerful tools to investigate the molecular information from biological tissue samples and visualize their complex spatial distributions. Coupling of gas-phase ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technologies to MS imaging has been increasingly explored to improve performance for biological tissue imaging. This approach allows improved detection of low abundance ions and separation of isobaric molecular species, thus resulting in more accurate determination of the spatial distribution of molecular ions. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the field focusing on promising applications of these technologies for metabolite, lipid and protein tissue imaging.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been used for two decades to profile the glycan constituents of biological samples. An adaptation of the method to tissues, MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), allows high-throughput spatial profiling of hundreds to thousands of molecules within a single thin tissue section. The ability to profile N-glycans within tissues using MALDI-MSI is a recently developed method that allows identification and localization of 40 or more N-glycans. The key component is to apply a molecular coating of peptide-N-glycosidase to tissues, an enzyme that releases N-glycans from their protein carrier. In this chapter, the methods and approaches to robustly and reproducibly generate two-dimensional N-glycan tissue maps by MALDI-MSI workflows are summarized. Current strengths and limitations of the approach are discussed, as well as potential future applications of the method.

Abstract
Secondary metabolite discovery requires an unbiased, comprehensive workflow to detect unknown unknowns for which little to no molecular knowledge exists. Untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics is a powerful platform, particularly when coupled with ion mobility for high-throughput gas-phase separations to increase peak capacity and obtain gas-phase structural information. Ion mobility data are described by the amount of time an ion spends in the drift cell, which is directly related to an ion's collision cross section (CCS). The CCS parameter describes the size, shape, and charge of a molecule and can be used to characterize unknown metabolomic species. Here, we describe current and emerging applications of ion mobility-mass spectrometry for prioritization, discovery and structure elucidation, and spatial/temporal characterization.
