Abstract
This work explores the use of 2-nitrophloroglucinol (2-NPG) as a matrix for quantitative analysis of the fungicide Pyrimethanil (PYM) in strawberries using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and imaging. 2-NPG was selected for PYM analysis for optimum sensitivity and precision compared to common matrices α-cyano-4-hydroxylcinnamic acid (CHCA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB). PYM-sprayed strawberries were frozen 0, 1, 3, and 4 days after treatment and sectioned for MALDI imaging. The remaining part of each strawberry was processed using quick easy cheap effective rugged and safe (QuEChERS) extraction and analyzed by MALDI-MS and ultraperformance liquid chromatography multireaction-monitoring (UPLC-MRM). MALDI-MS showed comparable performance to UPLC-MRM in calibration, LOD/LOQ, matrix effect, and recovery, with the benefit of fast analysis. The MALDI imaging results demonstrated that PYM progressively penetrated the interior of the strawberry over time and the PYM concentration on tissue measured by MALDI imaging correlated linearly with MALDI-MS and UPLC-MRM measurements and accounts for 79% MALDI-MS and 85% UPLC-MRM values on average. Additionally, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was introduced as a new approach to determine strawberry tissue mass per area for MALDI imaging absolute quantitation with sensitive, direct, and localized measurements. This work demonstrates the first example of absolute quantitative MALDI imaging of pesticides in a heterogeneous plant tissue. The novel use of the 2-NPG matrix in quantitative MALDI-MS and imaging could be applied to other analytes, and the new QCM tissue mass per area method is potentially useful for quantitative MALDI imaging of heterogeneous tissues in general.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a well-known method for the ionization of molecules on tissue sections and the visualization of their localization. Recently, different sample preparation methods and new instruments have been used for MSI, and different molecules are becoming visible. On the other hand, although several quantification methods (q-MSI) have been proposed, there is still room for the development of a simplified procedure. Here, we have attempted to develop a reproducible and reliable quantification method using a calibration curve prepared from tissue debris of a frozen section of a sample when we trim the frozen blocks. We discuss the reproducibility of this method across different sample lots and the effect of the biological matrix (ion suppression) on our results. The quantitative performance was evaluated in terms of accuracy and relative standard deviation, and the reliability of the quantitative values obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-MSI was further evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our q-MSI method for the quantification of dopamine in mouse brain tissue was found to be highly linear, accurate, and precise. The quantitative values obtained by MSI were found to be highly comparable (>85% similarity) to the results obtained by ELISA from the same tissue extracts.

Abstract
Biosolids are byproducts of wastewater treatment. With the increasing global population, the amounts of wastewater to be treated are expanding, along with the amounts of biosolids generated. The reuse of biosolids is now accepted for diversified applications in fields such as agriculture, engineering, agro-forestry. However, biosolids are known to be potential carriers of compounds that can be toxic to living beings or alter the environment. Therefore, biosolid reuse is subject to regulations, mandatory analyses are performed on heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants or pathogens. Conventional methods for the analysis of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants are demanding, lengthy, and sometimes unsafe. Here, we propose mass spectrometry imaging as a faster and safer method using small amounts of material to monitor heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants in different types of biosolids, allowing for ecological and health risk assessment before reuse. Our methodology can be extended to other soil-like matrices.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:735-745.

Abstract
Fungi with hallucinogenic properties and neurotoxicity have been listed as prohibited drugs in recent years, but there is a lack of in situ quantification of psilocybin and analogues in these samples to avoid the decomposition of these psychoactive tryptamines in time-consuming sample preparation. In this study, matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization (MALDI)-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT ICR) mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) was used to analyze the distribution of psilocybin and its analogues in hallucinogenic Psilocybe mushrooms. A cesium chloride (CsCl)-coated target plate was prepared to improve the detection sensitivity and reduce the interference of other compounds or decomposition products with very similar m/z values in MALDI-FT ICR MS analysis. Psilocybin and other tryptamines with structurally similar compounds, including psilocin, baeocystin, tryptophan, tryptamine, and aeruginascin, were identified and imaged in the psilocybe tissue section; the semiquantitative analysis of the distribution of psilocybin was also investigated using a homemade 75-well CsCl-coated plate; and the target plate can be placed on the mass spectrometry target carrier along with the indium-tin oxide (ITO) conductive slide, which can simultaneously carry out matrix vapor deposition, thus ensuring the parallelism between the standards and samples in the pretreatment experiment and MSI. The contents of psilocybin and its analogues in the psilocybe tissue section can be evaluated from the color changes corresponding to different concentration standard curves. Furthermore, a comprehensive comparison between MALDI-FT ICR MS and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF MS) analysis was performed for quantification and validation. This study reduces the decomposition in time-consuming sample pretreatment and provides a powerful tool for drug abuse control and forensic analysis.

Abstract
In the present contribution, a novel approach based on multivariate curve resolution and deep learning (DL) is proposed for quantitative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) as a potent technique for identifying different compounds and creating their distribution maps in biological tissues without need for sample preparation. As a case study, chlordecone as a carcinogenic pesticide was quantitatively determined in mouse liver using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-MSI (MALDI-MSI). For this purpose, data from seven standard spots containing 0 to 20 picomoles of chlordecone and four unknown tissues from the mouse livers infected with chlordecone for 1, 5, and 10 days were analyzed using a convolutional neural network (CNN). To solve the lack of sufficient data for CNN model training, each pixel was considered as a sample, the designed CNN models were trained by pixels in training sets, and their corresponding amounts of chlordecone were obtained by multivariate curve resolution-alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS). The trained models were then externally evaluated using calibration pixels in test sets for 1, 5, and 10 days of exposure, respectively. Prediction R2 for all three data sets ranged from 0.93 to 0.96, which was superior to support vector machine (SVM) and partial least-squares (PLS). The trained CNN models were finally used to predict the amount of chlordecone in mouse liver tissues, and their results were compared with MALDI-MSI and GC-MS methods, which were comparable. Inspection of the results confirmed the validity of the proposed method.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has seen a growing interest as a leading technique in the pharmaceutical industry for mapping label-free exogenous and endogenous species in biological tissues. However, the use of MALDI-MSI to perform spatially resolved absolute quantitation of species directly in tissues is still challenging, and robust quantitative mass spectrometry imaging (QMSI) methods need to be developed. In this study, we describe the microspotting technique for analytical and internal standard deposition, matrix sublimation, powerful QMSI software, and mass spectrometry imaging setup to obtain absolute quantitation of drug distribution in 3D skin models.

Abstract
In recent years, the development and optimization of biodegradable coronary stents have become the research focus of many medical device manufacturers and scientific research institutions since they can be completely degraded and absorbed, and they restore vascular function. However, there is a lack of in situ quantification of these stents spatially in tissue in vivo. In this study, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT ICR) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) were used to analyze the time-dependent distributions of a biodegradable vascular scaffold, which consisted of copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid (PLGA) and its degradation products in cross-sections and longitudinal sections of blood vessels. The MALDI-MSI methods for analyzing the distribution of PLGA and its derivatives in vivo were established by optimizing the conditions of sample pretreatment and mass spectrometry (MS). In order to semi-quantify the contents of PLGA degradation products in blood vessels, self-made stainless-steel and indium tin oxide (ITO) target plates were developed to compare and establish the standard curves for semi-quantitative analysis. The target plate can be placed on the target carrier of MS simultaneously with the conductive slide, which can simultaneously carry out vapor deposition or spray on the substrate, to ensure the parallelism of the pretreatment experiments between the standards and the actual vascular samples. The proposed method provided a powerful tool for evaluating the distributions and degradation process of biological stent materials in the coronary artery, as well as provided technical support for the research and development of degradable biological stents and product optimization.

Abstract
Desorption/ionization (DI)-mass spectrometric (MS) methods offer considerable advantages of rapidity and low-sample input for the analysis of solid biological matrices such as tissue sections. The concept of desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) offers the possibility to ionize compounds from solid surfaces at atmospheric pressure, without the addition of organic compounds to initiate desorption. However, severe drawbacks from former DESI hardware stability made the development of assays for drug quantification difficult. In the present study, the potential of new prototype source setups (High Performance DESI Sprayer and Heated Transfer Line) for the development of drug quantification assays in tissue sections was evaluated. It was demonstrated that following dedicated optimization, new DESI XS enhancements present promising options regarding targeted quantitative analyses. As a model compound for these developments, ulixertinib, an inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and 2 was used.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been applied for label-free three-dimensional (3D) imaging from position array across the whole organism, which provides high-dimensional quantitative data of inorganic or organic compounds that may play an important role in the regulation of cellular signaling, including metals, metabolites, lipids, drugs, peptides, and proteins. While MSI is suitable for investigation of the spatial distribution of molecules, it has a limitation with visualization and quantification of multiple molecules. 3D-MSI, however, can be applied toward exploring metabolic pathway as well as the interactions of lipid-protein, protein-protein, and metal-protein in complex systems from subcellular to the whole organism through an untargeted methodology. In this review, we highlight the methods and applications of MS-based 3D imaging to address the complexity of molecular interaction from nano- to micrometer lateral resolution, with particular focus on: (a) common and hybrid 3D-MSI techniques; (b) quantitative MSI methodology, including the methods using a stable isotope labeling internal standard (SILIS) and SILIS-free approaches with tissue extinction coefficient or virtual calibration; (c) reconstruction of the 3D organ; (d) application of 3D-MSI for biomarker screening and environmental toxicological research. 3D-MSI quantitative analysis provides accurate spatial information and quantitative variation of biomolecules, which may be valuable for the exploration of the molecular mechanism of the disease progresses and toxicological assessment of environmental pollutants in the whole organism. Additionally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives on the future of 3D quantitative MSI.

Abstract
Laser ablation-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LA-IRMS) allows the mapping analysis of carbon isotope (δ13C) signature in organism samples.Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flightimaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-IMS) enables image of target directly. In this study, the distribution of δ13C and fullerenol nanoparticles in Daphnia magna (D. magna) exposed to different fullerenol solution are mapped using the LA-IRSM and MALDI-TOF-IMS for comparison. We visualize thedistribution of fullerenol nanoparticles mainly in the intestine, also in other parts of the body as well. This is the first time that fullerenol nanoparticles was found outside the intestine of D. magna, which has been confirmed by the two imaging methods individually. Although the both imaging methods are applicable to in-situ visualize the localization and spatial distribution of fullerenol nanoparticles in organisms, MALDI-TOF-IMS is more suitable, in terms of sample preparation and image resolution. The results of our study will also provide a new idea and method for the research of environmental toxicology.

Abstract
The potential of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been demonstrated in cell and tissue research since 1970. MSI can reveal the spatial distribution of a wide range of atomic and molecular ions detected from biological sample surfaces, it is a powerful and valuable technique used to monitor and detect diverse chemical and biological compounds, such as drugs, lipids, proteins, and DNA. MSI techniques, notably matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), witnessed a dramatic upsurge in studying and investigating biological samples especially, cells and tissue sections. This advancement is attributed to the submicron lateral resolution, the high sensitivity, the good precision, and the accurate chemical specificity, which make these techniques suitable for decoding and understanding complex mechanisms of certain diseases, as well as monitoring the spatial distribution of specific elements, and compounds. While the application of both techniques for the analysis of cells and tissues is thoroughly discussed, a briefing of MALDI-TOF and TOF-SIMS basis and the adequate sampling before analysis are briefly covered. The importance of MALDI-TOF and TOF-SIMS as diagnostic tools and robust analytical techniques in the medicinal, pharmaceutical, and toxicology fields is highlighted through representative published studies.

Abstract
Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) isocyanurate (TBC) is one of the novel brominated flame retardants that has been widely used in consumer goods. Humans may be exposed to TBC daily. Studies showed that TBC can induce significant toxicity. However, there is currently no report on its in situ localization in organs. In this study, we aimed to develop a reliable and reproductive method to determine the in situ localization of TBC in mouse organs by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS). As commercially available matrices were not able to detect TBC in tissue section, we then developed a novel MALDI-IMS method based on 1,5-diaminonaphthalene hydrochloride and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (NDA/AgOTf) as the matrix for the in situ localization of TBC. AgOTf used as the auxiliary matrix in the negative-ion mode showed an excellent MS signal of TBC. The detection limit of [2AgOTf + Br]- was at the μg/mL level. The developed MALDI-IMS method was successfully employed to obtain the TBC spatial distribution in the mouse organs collected from mice exposed to 160 mg/kg/day of TBC for 30 days. High-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS/MS) was also used to evaluate the accumulation of TBC in liver, kidney, heart, and brain. The combination of MALDI-IMS and HPLC-MS/MS showed that TBC can accumulate in mice organs and it is mainly distributed in the renal parenchyma. In summary, an innovative method was developed for the analysis of TBC spatial distribution by MALDI-IMS using a novel NDA/AgOTf matrix, extending the application of MALDI-IMS in environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Traditionally, cutaneous drug delivery is studied by skin accumulation or skin permeation, while alternative techniques may enable the interactions between the drug and the skin to be studied in more detail. Time-resolved skin profiling for pharmacokinetic monitoring of two Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors, tofacitinib and LEO 37319A, was performed using dermal open-flow microperfusion (dOFM) for sampling of perfusate in an ex vivo and in vivo setup in pig skin. Additionally, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was performed to investigate depth-resolved skin distributions at defined time points ex vivo in human skin. By dOFM, higher skin concentrations were observed for tofacitinib compared to LEO 37319A, which was supported by the lower molecular weight, higher solubility, lipophilicity, and degree of protein binding. Using MALDI-MSI, the two compounds were observed to show different skin distributions, which was interpreted to be caused by the difference in the ability of the two molecules to interact with the skin compartments. In conclusion, the techniques assessed time- and depth-resolved skin concentrations and were able to show differences in the pharmacokinetic profiles of two JAK inhibitors. Thus, evidence shows that the two techniques can be used as complementary methods to support decision making in drug development.

Abstract
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutations are important predictive molecular markers to guide surgical strategy in brain cancer therapy. Herein, we presented a method using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) for absolute quantification of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) on tissues to identify IDH mutations and evaluate tumor residue. This analytical method was tested among 34 glioma patients and validated with gold standard clinical technologies. The cut-off value of 2-HG was set as 0.81 pmol/μg to identify IDH mutant (IDHmt) gliomas with 100% specificity and sensitivity. In addition, 2-HG levels and tumor cell density (TCD) showed positive correlation in IDHmt gliomas by this spatial method. This MALDI MSI-based absolute quantification method has great potentiality for incorporating into surgical workflow in the future.

Distribution of perfluorooctane sulfonate in mice and its effect on liver lipidomic. Talanta 2021; 226:122150. [PMID: 33676699 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is an emerging persistent organic pollutant (POP), and the harm caused by the enrichment of PFOS in living organism has attracted more and more attention. In this work, animal exposure model to PFOS was established. Mass spectrometry (MS), mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and lipidomics were combined for the study of the organ targeting of PFOS, the toxicity and possible mechanism caused by PFOS. PFOS most accumulated in the liver, followed by the lungs, kidneys, spleen, heart and brain. Combined with H&E staining and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) results, it was found that the accumulation of PFOS indeed caused damage in particular areas of specific organ, like in the liver and in the marginal area of the heart. This work found that PFOS could cross the blood-brain barrier, entered the brain and caused the neurotoxicity, which was surprising and might be the reason that high dose of PFOS could cause convulsions. From the liver lipidomic analysis, we found that PFOS exposure mainly affected glycerophospholipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism. The up-regulated ceramide and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) might lead to liver cell apoptosis, and the decrease in liver triglyceride (TG) content might result in insufficient energy in mice and cause liver morphological damage. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis via phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) pathway might be a mechanism of self-protection in animals against PFOS induced inflammation. This study might provide new insight into underlying toxicity mechanism after exposure to PFOS.

Applications of stable isotopes in MALDI imaging: current approaches and an eye on the future. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:2637-2653.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) is now an established imaging modality with particular utility in the study of biological, biomedical and pathological processes. In the first instance, the use of stable isotopically labelled (SIL) compounds in MALDI-IMS has addressed technical barriers to increase the accuracy and versatility of this technique. This has undoubtedly enhanced our ability to interpret the two-dimensional ion intensity distributions produced from biological tissue sections. Furthermore, studies using delivery of SIL compounds to live tissues have begun to decipher cell, tissue and inter-tissue metabolism while maintaining spatial resolution. Here, we review both the technical and biological applications of SIL compounds in MALDI-IMS, before using the uptake and metabolism of glucose in bovine ocular lens tissue to illustrate the current limitations of SIL compound use in MALDI-IMS. Finally, we highlight recent instrumentation advances that may further enhance our ability to use SIL compounds in MALDI-IMS to understand biological and pathological processes. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Drug biodistribution analyses can be considered a key issue in pharmaceutical discovery and development. Here, mass spectrometric imaging can be employed as a powerful tool to investigate distributions of drug compounds in biologically and medically relevant tissue sections. Both matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometric imaging as molecular method and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometric imaging as elemental detection method were applied to determine drug distributions in tissue thin sections. Several mouse organs including the heart, kidney, liver, and brain were analyzed with regard to distribution of Gadovist™, a gadolinium-based contrast agent already approved for clinical investigation. This work demonstrated the successful detection and localization of Gadovist™ in several organs. Furthermore, the results gave evidence that gadolinium-based contrast agents in general can be well analyzed by mass spectrometric imaging methods. In conclusion, the combined application of molecular and elemental mass spectrometry could complement each other and thus confirm analytical results or provide additional information.

Abstract
Chlordecone is an organochlorine used in the 1970's as a pesticide in banana plantations. It has a long half-life in the soil and can potentially contaminate humans and animals through food. Chlordecone targets, and mainly accumulates in, the liver, leading to hepatomegaly and neurological signs in mammals. Chlordecone does not cause liver injuries or any inflammation by itself at low doses, but it can potentiate the hepatotoxic effects of other chemicals and drugs. We studied the impact of chlordecone on the progression of acute hepatitis in mouse models of co-exposure to chlordecone with Concanavalin A or murine hepatitis virus type 3. We examined the progression of these two types of hepatitis by measuring hepatic transaminase levels in the serum and inflammatory cells in the liver, liver histological studies. Amplified tremors presented in the MHV3- chlordecone mouse model had led us to study the expression of specific genes in the brain. We show that chlordecone amplifies the auto-immune hepatitis induced by Concanavalin A by increasing the number of liver NKT cells, which are involved in liver damage. Chlordecone also accelerated the death of mice infected by murine hepatitis virus and enhanced the entry of the virus into the cervical spinal cord in infected mice, leading to considerable neurological damage. In conclusion, chlordecone potentiates both the Concanavalin A-induced hepatitis and brain damage caused by an hepatotropic/neurotropic virus.

Abstract
The combination of microspotting of analytical and internal standards, matrix sublimation, and recently developed software for quantitative mass spectrometry imaging has been used to develop a high-resolution method for the determination of terbinafine hydrochloride in the epidermal region of a full thickness living skin equivalent model. A quantitative assessment of the effect of the addition of the penetration enhancer (dimethyl isosorbide (DMI)) to the delivery vehicle has also been performed, and data have been compared to those obtained from LC-MS/MS measurements of homogenates of isolated epidermal tissue. At 10% DMI, the levels of signal detected for the drug in the epidermis were 0.20 ± 0.072 mg/g tissue for QMSI and 0.28 ± 0.040 mg/g tissue for LC-MS/MS at 50% DMI 0.69 ± 0.23 mg/g tissue for QMSI and 0.66 ± 0.057 mg/g tissue for LC-MS/MS. Comparison of means and standard deviations indicates no significant difference between the values obtained by the two methods.

Abstract
A theoretical study of the influence of acidic surface groups (SG) of activated carbon (AC) on chlordecone hydrate (CLDh) adsorption is presented, in order to help understanding the adsorption process under basic pH conditions. A seven rings aromatic system (coronene) with a functional group in the edge was used as a simplified model of AC to evaluate the influence of SG in the course of adsorption from aqueous solution at basic pH conditions. Two SG were modeled in their deprotonated form: carboxyl and hydroxyl (COO- and O-), interacting with CLDh. In order to model the solvation process, all systems under study were calculated with up to three water molecules. Multiple Minima Hypersurface (MMH) methodology was employed to study the interactions of CLDh with SG on AC using PM7 semiempirical Hamiltonian, to explore the potential energy surfaces of the systems and evaluate their thermodynamic association energies. The re-optimization of representative structures obtained from MMH was done using M06-2X Density Functional Theory. The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) was used to characterize the interaction types. As result, the association of CLDh with acidic SG at basic pH conditions preferentially occurs between the two alcohol groups of CLDh with COO- and O- groups and by dispersive interactions of chlorine atoms of CLDh with the graphitic surface. On the other hand, the presence of covalent interactions between the negatively charged oxygen of SG and one hydrogen atom of CLDh alcohol groups (O-⋯HO interactions) without water molecules, was confirmed by QTAIM study. It can be concluded that the interactions of CLDh with acidic SG of AC under basic pH conditions confirms the physical mechanisms of adsorption process.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a transformative imaging method that supports the untargeted, quantitative measurement of the chemical composition and spatial heterogeneity of complex samples with broad applications in life sciences, bioenergy, and health. While MSI data can be routinely collected, its broad application is currently limited by the lack of easily accessible analysis methods that can process data of the size, volume, diversity, and complexity generated by MSI experiments. The development and application of cutting-edge analytical methods is a core driver in MSI research for new scientific discoveries, medical diagnostics, and commercial-innovation. However, the lack of means to share, apply, and reproduce analyses hinders the broad application, validation, and use of novel MSI analysis methods. To address this central challenge, we introduce the Berkeley Analysis and Storage Toolkit (BASTet), a novel framework for shareable and reproducible data analysis that supports standardized data and analysis interfaces, integrated data storage, data provenance, workflow management, and a broad set of integrated tools. Based on BASTet, we describe the extension of the OpenMSI mass spectrometry imaging science gateway to enable web-based sharing, reuse, analysis, and visualization of data analyses and derived data products. We demonstrate the application of BASTet and OpenMSI in practice to identify and compare characteristic substructures in the mouse brain based on their chemical composition measured via MSI.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging datasets are mostly analyzed in terms of average intensity in regions of interest. However, biological tissues have different morphologies with several sizes, shapes, and structures. The important biological information, contained in this highly heterogeneous cellular organization, could be hidden by analyzing the average intensities. Finding an analytical process of morphology would help to find such information, describe tissue model, and support identification of biomarkers. This study describes an informatics approach for the extraction and identification of mass spectrometry image features and its application to sample analysis and modeling. For the proof of concept, two different tissue types (healthy kidney and CT-26 xenograft tumor tissues) were imaged and analyzed. A mouse kidney model and tumor model were generated using morphometric - number of objects and total surface - information. The morphometric information was used to identify m/z that have a heterogeneous distribution. It seems to be a worthwhile pursuit as clonal heterogeneity in a tumor is of clinical relevance. This study provides a new approach to find biomarker or support tissue classification with more information. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Chlordecone is a persistent organochlorine pesticide that has been widely used in Guadeloupe (French West Indies) to control the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus from 1972 to 1993. A few years after its introduction, widespread contamination of soils, rivers, wild animals and aquatic organisms was reported. Although high chlordecone concentrations have been reported in several crustacean species, its uptake, internal distribution, and elimination in aquatic species have never been described. This study aimed at investigating the accumulation and tissue distribution of chlordecone in the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, using both laboratory (30 days exposure) and field (8 months exposure) approaches. In addition, depuration in chlordecone-free water was studied. Results showed that chlordecone bioconcentration in prawns was dose-dependent and time-dependent. Moreover, females appeared to be less contaminated than males after 5 and 7 months of exposure, probably due to successive spawning leading in the elimination of chlordecone through the eggs. Chlordecone distribution in tissues of exposed prawns showed that cephalothorax organs, mainly represented by the hepatopancreas, was the most contaminated. Results also showed that chlordecone was accumulated in cuticle, up to levels of 40% of the chlordecone body burden, which could be considered as a depuration mechanism since chlordecone is eliminated with the exuviae during successive moults. Finally, this study underlined the similarity of results obtained in laboratory and field approaches, which highlights their complementarities in the chlordecone behaviour understanding in M. rosenbergii.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) allows for the visualization of molecular distributions within tissue sections. While providing excellent molecular specificity and spatial information, absolute quantification by MALDI IMS remains challenging. Especially in the low molecular weight region of the spectrum, analysis is complicated by matrix interferences and ionization suppression. Though tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can be used to ensure chemical specificity and improve sensitivity by eliminating chemical noise, typical MALDI MS/MS modalities only scan for a single MS/MS event per laser shot. Herein, we describe TOF/TOF instrumentation that enables multiple fragmentation events to be performed in a single laser shot, allowing the intensity of the analyte to be referenced to the intensity of the internal standard in each laser shot while maintaining the benefits of MS/MS. This approach is illustrated by the quantitative analyses of rifampicin (RIF), an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis, in pooled human plasma using rifapentine (RPT) as an internal standard. The results show greater than 4-fold improvements in relative standard deviation as well as improved coefficients of determination (R2) and accuracy (>93% quality controls, <9% relative errors). This technology is used as an imaging modality to measure absolute RIF concentrations in liver tissue from an animal dosed in vivo. Each microspot in the quantitative image measures the local RIF concentration in the tissue section, providing absolute pixel-to-pixel quantification from different tissue microenvironments. The average concentration determined by IMS is in agreement with the concentration determined by HPLC-MS/MS, showing a percent difference of 10.6%. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) permits label-free in situ analysis of chemical compounds directly from the surface of two-dimensional biological tissue slices. It links qualitative molecular information of compounds to their spatial coordinates and distribution within the investigated tissue. MALDI-MSI can also provide the quantitative amounts of target compounds in the tissue, if proper calibration techniques are performed. Obviously, as the target molecules are embedded within the biological tissue environment and analysis must be performed at their precise locations, there is no possibility for extensive sample clean-up routines or chromatographic separations as usually performed with homogenized biological materials; ion suppression phenomena therefore become a critical side effect of MALDI-MSI. Absolute quantification by MALDI-MSI should provide an accurate value of the concentration/amount of the compound of interest in relatively small, well-defined region of interest of the examined tissue, ideally in a single pixel. This goal is extremely challenging and will not only depend on the technical possibilities and limitations of the MSI instrument hardware, but equally on the chosen calibration/standardization strategy. These strategies are the main focus of this article and are discussed and contrasted in detail in this tutorial review. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: MALDI Imaging, edited by Dr. Corinna Henkel and Prof. Peter Hoffmann.

Abstract
During the last decades, imaging mass spectrometry has gained significant relevance in biomedical research. Recent advances in imaging mass spectrometry have paved the way for in situ studies on drug development, metabolism and toxicology. In contrast to whole-body autoradiography that images the localization of radiolabeled compounds, imaging mass spectrometry provides the possibility to simultaneously determine the discrete tissue distribution of the parent compound and its metabolites. In addition, imaging mass spectrometry features high molecular specificity and allows comprehensive, multiplexed detection and localization of hundreds of proteins, peptides and lipids directly in tissues. Toxicologists traditionally screen for adverse findings by histopathological examination. However, studies of the molecular and cellular processes underpinning toxicological and pathologic findings induced by candidate drugs or toxins are important to reach a mechanistic understanding and an effective risk assessment strategy. One of IMS strengths is the ability to directly overlay the molecular information from the mass spectrometric analysis with the tissue section and allow correlative comparisons of molecular and histologic information. Imaging mass spectrometry could therefore be a powerful tool for omics profiling of pharmacological/toxicological effects of drug candidates and toxicants in discrete tissue regions. The aim of the present review is to provide an overview of imaging mass spectrometry, with particular focus on MALDI imaging mass spectrometry, and its use in drug development and toxicology in general.

Abstract
Surface sampling micro liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (SSμLC-MS/MS) was explored as a quantitative tissue distribution technique for probing compound properties in drug discovery. A method was developed for creating standard curves using surrogate tissue sections from blank tissue homogenate spiked with compounds. The resulting standard curves showed good linearity and high sensitivity. The accuracy and precision of standards met acceptance criteria of ±30%. A new approach was proposed based on an experimental and mathematical method for tissue extraction efficiency evaluation by means of consecutively sampling a location on tissue twice by SSμLC-MS/MS. The observed extraction efficiency ranged from 69% to 82% with acceptable variation for the test compounds. Good agreement in extraction efficiency was observed between surrogate tissue sections and incurred tissue sections. This method was successfully applied to two case studies in which tissue distribution was instrumental in advancing project teams' understanding of compound properties.

Abstract
Chlordecone (CLD) is an organochlorine insecticide abundant in aquatic environment of the French West Indies. However, few studies have investigated its impact on freshwater invertebrates. Whereas CLD is suspected of inducing endocrine disruption, this work aimed to study the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of CLD on the 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) hormone concentration and on the chitobiase activity, both having key roles in the molting process of crustaceans. In addition, the bioaccumulation of CLD was measured in the muscle tissue of Macrobrachium rosenbergii to underline potential dose-response relationship. The results have shown that CLD was bioaccumulated in exposed organisms according to a trend to a dose-response relationship. Moreover, it was observed that CLD decreased the 20-HE concentration in exposed prawns when compared to control, whatever the duration of exposure, as well as it inhibited the chitobiase activity after 30days of exposure. The present study indicates that CLD could interfere with molting process of M. rosenbergii by disturbing the 20-HE concentration and the activity of chitobiase, suggesting consequences at the long term on the shrimp development. This study also confirmed that CLD could be an endocrine disruptor in decapod crustaceans, as it was already observed in vertebrates.

Abstract
Risk assessment related to the exposure of humans to chemicals released into the environment is a major concern of our modern societies. In this context, toxicology plays a crucial role to characterize the effects of this exposure on health and identify the targets of these molecules. MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is an enabling technology for biodistribution studies of chemicals. Although the majority of published studies are presented in a pharmacological context, the concepts discussed in this review can be applied to the toxicological evaluation of chemicals released into the environment. The major asset of IMS is the simultaneous localization and identification of a parent molecule and its metabolites without labeling and without any prior knowledge. Quantification methods developed in IMS are presented with application to an environmental pollutant. IMS is effective in the localization of chemicals and endogenous species. This opens unique perspectives for the discovery of molecular alterations in metabolites and protein biomarkers that could help for a better understanding of toxicity mechanisms. Distribution studies of agrochemicals in plants by IMS can contribute to a better understanding of their mode of action and to a more effective use of these chemicals, avoiding the current concern of environmental damage.

Abstract
RATIONALE Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Identification of lipid targets that play a role in breast cancer invasion may advance our understanding of the rapid progression of cancer and may lead to the development of new biomarkers for the disease. METHODS Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) was applied for the lipidomic profiling of two poorly invasive and two highly invasive breast cancer cell lines to identify the differentially accumulated lipids related to the invasive phenotype. The four cell lines were individually grown on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass slides, analyzed as cell cultures. The raster width and matrix for detection were optimized to improve detection sensitivity. RESULTS Optimized MSI measurements were performed directly on the cell culture with 9-aminoacridine as matrix, resulting in 215 endogenous compounds detected in positive ion mode and 267 endogenous compounds in negative ion mode in all the four cell lines, representing the largest group of analytes that have been analyzed from cells by a single MSI study. In highly invasive cell lines, 31 lipids including phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidic acids were found upregulated and eight lipids including sphingomyelin (SM) downregulated in negative ion mode. The products of de novo fatty acid synthesis incorporated into membrane phospholipids, like oleic-acid-containing PG, may be involved in mitochondrial dysfunction and thus affect the invasion of breast cancer cells. The deficiency of SM may be related to the disruption of apoptosis in highly invasive cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS This work uncovered more analytes in cells by MSI than previous reports, providing a better visualization and novel insights to advance our understanding of the relationship between rapid progression of breast cancer and lipid metabolism. The most altered lipids may aid the discovery of diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets of breast cancer.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) elucidates molecular distributions in thin tissue sections. Absolute pixel-to-pixel quantitation has remained a challenge, primarily lacking validation of the appropriate analytical methods. In the present work, isotopically labeled internal standards are applied to tissue sections to maximize quantitative reproducibility and yield accurate quantitative results. We have developed a tissue model for rifampicin (RIF), an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis, and have tested different methods of applying an isotopically labeled internal standard for MALDI IMS analysis. The application of the standard and subsequently the matrix onto tissue sections resulted in quantitation that was not statistically significantly different from results obtained using HPLC-MS/MS of tissue extracts. Quantitative IMS experiments were performed on liver tissue from an animal dosed in vivo. Each microspot in the quantitative images measures the local concentration of RIF in the thin tissue section. Lower concentrations were detected from the blood vessels and around the portal tracts. The quantitative values obtained from these measurements were comparable (>90% similarity) to HPLC-MS/MS results obtained from extracts of the same tissue.

Localization of ginsenosides in Panax ginseng with different age by matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry imaging. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2015; 1026:263-271. [PMID: 26520809 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2015.09.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2015] [Revised: 08/31/2015] [Accepted: 09/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The root of Panax ginseng C.A. Mey. (P. ginseng) is one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines, with ginsenosides as its main bioactive components. Because different ginsenosides have varied pharmacological effects, extraction and separation of ginsenosides are usually required for the investigation of pharmacological effects of different ginsenosides. However, the contents of ginsenosides vary with the ages and tissues of P. ginseng root. In this research, an efficient method to explore the distribution of ginsenosides and differentiate P. ginseng roots with different ages was developed based on matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-TOF-MSI). After a simple sample preparation, there were 18 peaks corresponding to 31 ginsenosides with distinct localization in the mass range of m/z 700-1400 identified by MALDI-TOF-MSI and MALDI-TOF-MS/MS. All the three types of ginsenosides were successfully detected and visualized in images, which could be correlated with anatomical features. The P. ginseng at the ages of 2, 4 and 6 could be differentiated finely through the principal component analysis of data collected from the cork based on the ion images but not data from the whole tissue. The experimental result implies that the established method for the direct analysis of metabolites in plant tissues has high potential for the rapid identification of metabolites and analysis of their localizations in medicinal herbs. Furthermore, this technique also provides valuable information for the component-specific extraction and pharmacological research of herbs.

Abstract
Label and label-free methods to image carbon-based nanomaterials exist. However, label-based approaches are limited by the risk of tag detachment over time, and label-free spectroscopic methods have slow imaging speeds, weak photoluminescence signals and strong backgrounds. Here, we present a label-free mass spectrometry imaging method to detect carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide and carbon nanodots in mice. The large molecular weights of nanoparticles are difficult to detect using conventional mass spectrometers, but our method overcomes this problem by using the intrinsic carbon cluster fingerprint signal of the nanomaterials. We mapped and quantified the sub-organ distribution of the nanomaterials in mice. Our results showed that most carbon nanotubes and nanodots were found in the outer parenchyma of the kidney, and all three materials were seen in the red pulp of the spleen. The highest concentrations of nanotubes in the spleen were found within the marginal zone.
