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

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

Abstract
The extensive application of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in several fields has significantly impacted our daily lives. Nonetheless, uncertainties persist regarding the toxicity and potential risks associated with the vast number of NPs entering the environment and human bodies, so the performance of toxicological studies are highly demanded. While traditional assays focus primarily on the effects, the comprehension of the underlying processes requires innovative analytical approaches that can detect, characterize, and quantify NPs in complex biological matrices. Among the available alternatives to achieve this information, mass spectrometry, and more concretely, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), has emerged as an appealing option. This work critically reviews the valuable contribution of ICP-MS-based techniques to investigate NP toxicity and their transformations during in vitro and in vivo toxicological assays. Various ICP-MS modalities, such as total elemental analysis, single particle or single-cell modes, and coupling with separation techniques, as well as the potential of laser ablation as a spatially resolved sample introduction approach, are explored and discussed. Moreover, this review addresses limitations, novel trends, and perspectives in the field of nanotoxicology, particularly concerning NP internalization and pathways. These processes encompass cellular uptake and quantification, localization, translocation to other cell compartments, and biological transformations. By leveraging the capabilities of ICP-MS, researchers can gain deeper insights into the behaviour and effects of NPs, which can pave the way for safer and more responsible use of these materials.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133645. [PMID: 38310837 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
The fate and behavior of silver in aquatic systems is intricately determined by its interactions with dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, we have introduced a method for identification and quantification of silver-DOM complexes using size exclusion chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS). Our findings revealed that silver(I) was weakly bound to Suwannee River humic acid, fulvic acid, and natural organic matter (SRHA, SRFA, and SRNOM) in various media, resulting in facile dissociation during chromatographic separation. Suitable chromatographic conditions were determined for the elution of Ag-DOM complexes, involving the use of 0.5 mM ammonium acetate (pH 7) as the mobile phase and silver-aged column (pre-absorbing 0.1-0.7 μg silver(I)). SEC-UV and SEC-ICP-MS chromatograms revealed that Ag-binding fractions of DOM were dominated by its aromatic compounds. The quantification of silver-DOM complexes was achieved by SEC-ICP-MS combination with on-line isotope dilution. Silver at concentrations below 20 µg L-1 was mainly present in the form of organic complexes in low salinity water. These measurements aligned well with the results obtained using the equilibrium dialysis method. Species analyses of Ag-DOM complexes provide a deeper understanding of the reactivity, transport, and fate of silver in aquatic environments. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Ionic silver is highly toxic to aquatic organisms such as fish and zooplankton. The complexation of silver with binding sites within DOM significantly influences its speciation, mobility, and toxicity. Despite the complex and unknown structure of silver-DOM complexes, this study provided a SEC-ICP-MS method to identify and quantify these complexes in a range of media. By uncovering the formation of silver-DOM complexes across diverse media, this work enhances the comprehension of silver transformation processes and associated environmental risks in aquatic environments.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:6931-6950.

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

Abstract
Imaging studies by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry have been successfully developed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the presence/distribution of titanium (ionic titanium and/or titanium dioxide nanoparticles) in sea bream tissues (kidney, liver, and muscle) after exposure assays with 45-nm citrate-coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Laboratory-produced gelatine standards containing ionic titanium were used as a calibration strategy for obtaining laser ablation-based images using quantitative (titanium concentrations) data. The best calibration strategy consisted of using gelatine-based titanium standards (from 0.1 to 2.0 μg g-1) by placing 5.0-μL drops of the liquid gelatine standards onto microscope glass sample holders. After air drying at room temperature good homogeneity of the placed drops was obtained, which led to good repeatability of measurements (calibration slope of 4.21 × 104 ± 0.39 × 104, n = 3) and good linearity (coefficient of determination higher than 0.990). Under the optimised conditions, a limit of detection of 0.087 μg g-1 titanium was assessed. This strategy allowed to locate prominent areas of titanium in the tissues as well as to quantify the bioaccumulated titanium and a better understanding of titanium dioxide nanoparticle spatial distribution in sea bream tissues.

Abstract
The development of nanotechnology has transformed many cutting-edge studies related to single-molecule analysis into nanoparticle (NP) detection with a single-NP sensitivity and ultrahigh resolution. While laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been successful in quantifying and tracking NPs, its quantitative calibration remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable standards and the uncertain matrix effects. Herein, we frame a new approach to prepare quantitative standards via precise synthesis of NPs, nanoscale characterization, on-demand NP distribution, and deep learning-assisted NP counting. Gold NP standards were prepared to cover the mass range from sub-femtogram to picogram levels with sufficient accuracy and precision, thus establishing an unambiguous relationship between the sampled NP number in each ablation and the corresponding mass spectral signal. Our strategy facilitated for the first time the study of the factors affecting particulate sample capture and signal transductions in LA-ICP-MS analysis and culminated in the development of an LA-ICP-MS-based method for absolute NP quantification with single-NP sensitivity and single-cell quantification capability. The achievements would herald the emergence of new frontiers cut across a spectrum of toxicological and diagnostic issues related to NP quantification.

Abstract
Pre-coating with a protein corona on the surface of nanomaterials (NMs) is an important strategy for reducing non-specific serum protein absorption while maintaining targeting specificity. Here, we present lipoic acid-terminated polyethylene glycol and transferrin bi-functionalized MoS2 nanosheets (Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs) as a feasible approach to enhance cellular uptake. Tf@MoS2-PEG NSs can maintain good dispersion stability in cell culture medium and effectively protect MoS2 NSs from oxidation in ambient aqueous conditions. Competitive adsorption experiments indicate that transferrin was more prone to bind MoS2 NSs than bovine serum albumin (BSA). It is noteworthy that single HepG2 cell uptake of Tf@MoS2-PEG presented a heterogeneous distribution pattern, and the cellular uptake amount spanned a broader range (from 0.4 fg to 2.4 fg). Comparatively, the intracellular Mo masses in HepG2 cells treated with BSA@MoS2-PEG and MoS2-PEG showed narrower distribution, indicating homogeneous uptake in the single HepG2 cells. Over 5% of HepG2 cells presented uptake of the Tf@MoS2-PEG over 1.2 fg of Mo, about three-fold that of BSA@MoS2-PEG (0.4 fg of Mo). Overall, this work suggests that Tf coating enhances the cellular uptake of MoS2 NSs and is a promising strategy for improving the intracellular uptake efficiency of cancer cells.

Abstract
A composite system consisting of both organic and inorganic nanoparticles is an approach to prepare a new material exhibiting “the best of both worlds”. In this review, we highlight the recent advances in the preparation and applications of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-gold nanoparticles (PLGA-GNP). With its current clinically use, PLGA-based nanocarriers have promising pharmaceutical applications and can “extract and utilize” the fascinating optical and photothermal properties of encapsulated GNP. The resulting “golden polymeric nanocarrier” can be tracked, analyzed, and visualized using the encapsulated gold nanoprobes which facilitate a better understanding of the hosting nanocarrier’s pharmacokinetics and biological fate. In addition, the “golden polymeric nanocarrier” can reveal superior nanotherapeutics that combine both the photothermal effect of the encapsulated gold nanoparticles and co-loaded chemotherapeutics. To help stimulate more research on the development of nanomaterials with hybrid and exceptional properties, functionalities, and applications, this review provides recent examples with a focus on the available chemistries and the rationale behind encapsulating GNP into PLGA nanocarriers that has the potential to be translated into innovative, clinically applicable nanomedicine.

Abstract
In the last decades, a wide multitude of research activity has been focused on the development of new drugs, and devoted to overcome the challenges of high cost and low efficiency in drug evaluation. The measurement of drug response at the single cell level is a quicker, more direct and more accurate way to reflect drug efficacy, which can shorten the drug development period and reduce research costs. Therefore, the single cell drug response (SCDR) measurement technology has aroused extensive attention from researchers, and has become a hot topic in the fields of drug research and cell biology. Recent years have seen the emergence of various SCDR measurement technologies that feature different working principles and different levels of measurement performance. To better examine, compare and summarize the characteristics and functions of these technologies, we select signal-to-noise ratio, throughput, content, invasion, and device complexity as the criteria to evaluate them from the drug efficacy perspective. This review aims to highlight sixteen kinds of SCDR measurement technologies, including patch-clamp technique, live-cell interferometry, capillary electrophoresis, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and more, and report widespread representative examples of SCDR measurement the recent approaches for over the past forty years. Based on their reaction principles, these technologies are classified into four categories: electrical, optical, electrochemical, and mass spectrometry, and a detailed comparison is made between them. After in-depth understanding of these technologies, it is expected to improve or integrate these technologies to propose better SCDR measurement strategies, and explore methods in new drug development and screening, as well as disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
It is the first time to investigate local distribution patterns of mercury (Hg) in mice organs after Hg and Se exposure with detection of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Two batch of adult mice were employed to be exposed to inorganic mercury (iHg) and methylmercury (MeHg) with or without Se at the dose of 55 μmol kg-1. Tissue sections of brain, kidney, liver, and spleen from one batch mice were prepared to get local imaging of Hg by LA-ICP-MS. Tissues from another batch mice were used to quantify Hg and Se in tissues with ICP-MS after acid digestion. The results indicated that, for mice exposed to iHg, Hg mainly distributed in kidney, a little in liver, and hardly in brain and spleen; for mice exposed to MeHg, lower amount of Hg was found in kidney, liver and spleen, and almost no Hg was found in brain. It was interesting that for Hg and Se co-administration groups, higher level of Hg was observed in kidney, liver, spleen and even in brain than single Hg administration groups. In addition, Se level in organ tissues increased obviously not only in Se exposure group but also in MeHg exposure group, while the phenomenon was not observed in iHg exposure group. HepG2 cells were employed to investigate Se and Hg interactions in single cell level, similar bioaccumulation behavior of Hg was found between cells and mice organs. Higher level of Hg was observed in cells cultured with Se and Hg medium than cells cultured with single Hg medium. The results are expected to provide new insight to investigate Hg and Se interactions in animal bodies and in-vitro cells.

Abstract
Agrometallomics, as an independent interdiscipline, is first defined and described in this review. Metallic elements widely exist in agricultural plants, animals and edible fungi, seed, fertilizer, pesticide, feedstuff, as well as the agricultural environment and ecology, and even functional and pathogenic microorganisms. So, the agrometallome plays a vital role in molecular and organismic mechanisms like environmetallomics, metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, glycomics, immunomics, genomics, etc. To further reveal the inner and mutual mechanism of the agrometallome, comprehensive and systematic methodologies for the analysis of beneficial and toxic metals are indispensable to investigate elemental existence, concentration, distribution, speciation, and forms in agricultural lives and media. Based on agrometallomics, this review summarizes and discusses the advanced technical progress and future perspectives of metallic analytical approaches, which are categorized into ultrasensitive and high-throughput analysis, elemental speciation and state analysis, and spatial- and microanalysis. Furthermore, the progress of agrometallomic innovativeness greatly depends on the innovative development of modern metallic analysis approaches including, but not limited to, high sensitivity, elemental coverage, and anti-interference; high-resolution isotopic analysis; solid sampling and nondestructive analysis; metal chemical species and metal forms, associated molecular clusters, and macromolecular complexes analysis; and metal-related particles or metal within the microsize and even single cell or subcellular analysis.

Abstract
A quantitative imaging strategy for the vicinal dithiol (VD) of arsenic-binding proteins in the mouse brain is reported. 2-p-Aminophenyl-1,3,2-dithiarsenolane (PAO-EDT) couples to gold nanoclusters Au22(GSH)18 to form conjugate Au22-PAO-EDT (APE). PAO-EDT in APE selectively binds VD with 1 : 1 stoichiometry. After tagging the mouse brain with APE, VD imaging is realized by laser ablation ICP-MS. VD correlates linearly with 197Au in APE offering a 22-fold amplification and a LOD of 5.43 nM. It is found that the cerebral cortex and hippocampus are most affected in an arsenic poisoned mouse brain. This study provides useful information for further understanding the mechanisms underlying the biological effects of arsenic on the living body.

Abstract
Nanosafety evaluation is paramount since it is necessary not only for human health protection and environmental integrity but also as a cornerstone for industrial and regulatory bodies. The current nanometallomics did not cover non-metallic nanomaterials, which is an important part of nanomaterials. In this critical review, the concept of nanometallomics was expanded to incorporate all nanomaterials. The impacts on metal(loid) and metallo-biomolecular homeostasis by nanomaterials will be focused upon in nanometallomics study. Besides, the impacts on elemental and biomolecular homeostasis by metallo-nanomaterials are also considered as the research subjects of nanometallomics. Based on the new concept of nanometallomics, comparative nanometallomics was proposed as a new tool for nanosafety evaluation, which is high throughput and will be precise considering the nature of machine learning techniques. The perspectives of nanometallomics like metallo-wide association study and non-target nanometallomics were put forward.
