Harvey DJ. Analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry: An update for 2021-2022. MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS 2024. [PMID: 38925550 DOI: 10.1002/mas.21873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well-established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022. As with previous review, this review also includes a few papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. The review follows the same format as previous reviews. It is divided into three sections: (1) general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation, quantification and the use of computer software for structural identification. (2) Applications to various structural types such as oligo- and polysaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals, and (3) other general areas such as medicine, industrial processes, natural products and glycan synthesis where MALDI is extensively used. Much of the material relating to applications is presented in tabular form. MALDI is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis, particularly in its ability to produce single ions from each analyte and advancements in the technique and range of applications show little sign of diminishing.

Abstract
A technique capable of label-free detection, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool for spatial investigation of native biomolecules in intact specimens. However, MSI has often been precluded from single-cell applications due to the spatial resolution limit set forth by the physical and instrumental constraints of the method. By taking advantage of the reversible interaction between the analytes and a superabsorbent hydrogel, we have developed a sample preparation and imaging workflow named Gel-Assisted Mass Spectrometry Imaging (GAMSI) to overcome the spatial resolution limits of modern mass spectrometers. With GAMSI, we show that the spatial resolution of MALDI-MSI can be enhanced ~3-6-fold to the sub-micrometer level without changing the existing mass spectrometry hardware or analysis pipeline. This approach will vastly enhance the accessibility of MSI-based spatial analysis at the cellular scale.

Developing a novel strategy for fabricating matrix film to assess the distribution of potassium perfluorooctanic sulfonate by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1303:342528.

Abstract
Matrix deposition plays a critical role in image quality of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). To improve the ionization efficiency and overcome the limitation of traditional matrix deposition methods in the face of difficult-to-sublimate or difficult-to-dissolve matrix, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) named COF-DhaTab was successfully synthesized and firstly used as matrix film. It was fabricated by imprinting of sieved COF-DhaTab powder on the surface of a double-sided adhesive tape. Outstanding reproducibility and uniformity of COF-DhaTab film were demonstrated by relative standard deviation (RSD) within 8.37% and 7.71% from dot-to-dot and plate-to-plate, respectively. With the introduction of double-sided adhesive tape, water contact angle (WCA) of COF-DhaTab film increased from 55° to 141°, resulting in significant suppression of analyte diffusion. Moreover, the intensity of potassium perfluorooctanic sulfonate (PFOS, C8F17SO3-, m/z 498.93) was 9.3 × 105, more than six hundred times higher than that using DHB matrix. This enhancement was attributed to the rough surface and multiple branches of the synthesized COF-DhaTab. To verify the ability of COF-DhaTab film as substrate, the spatial distribution of PFOS in zebrafish, rat liver and kidney tissues was explored. Superior imaging capability was displayed with high-spatial resolution and reliable location distribution. These results not only demonstrate the outstanding ability of COF-DhaTab as matrix for MALDI-MS and MALDI-MSI, but also provide a facile approach for fabrication of novel matrix films for MALDI-MSI.

Abstract
This outlook explores how two different molecular imaging approaches might be combined to gain insight into dynamic, subcellular metabolic processes. Specifically, we discuss how matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, which have significantly pushed the boundaries of imaging metabolic and metabolomic analyses in their own right, could be combined to create comprehensive molecular images. We first briefly summarize the recent advances for each technique. We then explore how one might overcome the inherent limitations of each individual method, by envisioning orthogonal and interchangeable workflows. Additionally, we delve into the potential benefits of adopting a complementary approach that combines both MSI and SRS spectro-microscopy for informing on specific chemical structures through functional-group-specific targets. Ultimately, by integrating the strengths of both imaging modalities, researchers can achieve a more comprehensive understanding of biological and chemical systems, enabling precise metabolic investigations. This synergistic approach holds substantial promise to expand our toolkit for studying metabolites in complex environments.

Abstract
Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has become a powerful method to extract spatially resolved chemical information in complex materials. This study provides the first use of MALDI-MSI to define spatial-temporal changes in oil paints. Due to the highly heterogeneous nature of oil paints, the sample preparation had to be optimized to prevent molecules from delocalizing. Here, we present a new protocol for the layer-specific analysis of oil paint cross sections achieving a lateral resolution of 10 μm and without losing ionization efficiency due to topographic effects. The efficacy of this method was investigated in oil paint samples containing a mixture of two historic organic pigments, geranium lake and lead white, a mixture often employed in the work of painter Vincent Van Gogh. This methodology not only allows for spatial visualization of the molecules responsible for the pink hue of the paint but also helps to elucidate the chemical changes behind the discoloration of paintings with this composition. The results demonstrate that this approach provides valuable molecular compositional information about the degradation pathways of pigments in specific paint layers and their interaction with the binding medium and other paint components and with light over time. Since a spatial correlation between molecular species and the visual pattern of the discoloration pattern can be made, we expect that mass spectrometry imaging will become highly relevant in future degradation studies of many more historical pigments and paints.

Compatible with label-free detection and quantification, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool for spatial investigation of biomolecules in intact specimens. Yet, the spatial resolution of MSI is limited by the method's physical and instrumental constraints, which often preclude it from single-cell and subcellular applications.

With GAMSI, the spatial resolution of lipid and protein MALDI-MSI can be enhanced severalfold without changing the existing mass spectrometry hardware and analysis pipeline. This approach will further enhance the accessibility to (sub)cellular-scale MALDI-MSI-based spatial omics.

Abstract
Natural compounds in plants are often unevenly distributed, and determining the best sampling locations to obtain the most representative results is technically challenging. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) can provide the basis for formulating sampling guideline. For a succulent plant sample, ensuring the authenticity and in situ nature of the spatial distribution analysis results during MSI analysis also needs to be thoroughly considered. In this study, we developed a well-established and reliable MALDI-MSI method based on preservation methods, slice conditions, auxiliary matrices, and MALDI parameters to detect and visualize the spatial distribution of mescaline in situ in Lophophora williamsii. The MALDI-MSI results were validated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Low-temperature storage at -80°C and drying of "bookmarks" were the appropriate storage methods for succulent plant samples and their flower samples, and cutting into 40 μm thick sections at -20°C using gelatin as the embedding medium is the appropriate sectioning method. The use of DCTB (trans-2-[3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenylidene]malononitrile) as an auxiliary matrix and a laser intensity of 45 are favourable MALDI parameter conditions for mescaline analysis. The region of interest semi-quantitative analysis revealed that mescaline is concentrated in the epidermal tissues of L. williamsii as well as in the meristematic tissues of the crown. The study findings not only help to provide a basis for determining the best sampling locations for mescaline in L. williamsii, but they also provide a reference for the optimization of storage and preparation conditions for raw plant organs before MALDI detection. Key Points An accurate in situ MSI method for fresh water-rich succulent plants was obtained based on multi-parameter comparative experiments.Spatial imaging analysis of mescaline in Lophophora williamsii was performed using the above method.Based on the above results and previous results, a sampling proposal for forensic medicine practice is tentatively proposed.

Abstract
Sublimation is one of the preferred methods of choice for matrix deposition in high spatial resolution MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) experiments. However, reproducibility and time are the major concerns for this setup. Here we present a lab-made glass sublimator with significant improvements in fine control of the vacuum with real-time monitoring and a rapid sublimation process of only 22 min. This method yielded reproducible homogeneous matrix crystals of <1 μm on the sample surface. MALDI-MSI was performed in tissue sections of barley inflorescence meristems at 15 μm spatial resolution, thus demonstrating its efficiency. Overall, we believe these simple yet effective new modifications can be easily adapted to the standard glass sublimation devices to achieve highly reproducible matrix deposition for high spatial resolution MALDI-MSI.

Abstract
Oocytes are a special kind of biological material. Here, the individual variability of a single cell is important. It means that the opportunity to obtain information about the lipid content from the analysis of a single cell is significant. In our study, we present a method for lipid analysis based on the MALDI-based mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) approach. Our attention was paid to the sample preparation optimization with the aid of a wet-interface matrix deposition system (matrix spraying). Technical considerations of the sample preparation process, such as the number of matrix layers and the position of the spraying nozzle during the matrix deposition, are presented in the article. Additionally, we checked if changing the 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and 9-Aminoacridine (9AA) matrix concentration and their solvent composition may improve the analysis. Moreover, the comparison of paraformaldehyde-fixed versus nonfixed cell analysis was performed. We hope that our approach will be helpful for those working on lipid analyses in extraordinary material such as a single oocyte. Our study may also offer clues for anybody interested in single-cell analysis with the aid of MALDI mass spectrometry imaging and the wet-interface matrix deposition method.

Abstract
Matrix deposition plays an important role in obtaining high-quality and reliable molecular spatial location information for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). To control the matrix film formation, an automatic matrix spraying apparatus was developed with the introduction of a noncontact heating lamp. Compared with the unheated condition, the noncontact heating lamp suppressed the coffee-ring effect and the diffusion phenomenon of the analyte effectively by controllable matrix film formation. Meanwhile, the signal intensity was increased by 2-5 fold. To prove the ability of the matrix deposition apparatus, the apparatus combined with metabolomics analysis was used to show the spatial distribution of the substance in sprouted potato tubers. The potential biomarkers at m/z 868.5049 and m/z 852.5101 were identified as α-solanine and α-chaconine, and the synthesis pathways were further searched. To further demonstrate the quality of MALDI images including localization and spatial resolution, lipid distribution in rat brain tissue was investigated by the developed noncontact heating matrix spraying apparatus. An excellent match with distinguishable compartments of lipids in the rat brain was obtained between the H&E-stained sections and MALDI-MSI images. These results indicate that the developed noncontact heating matrix spraying apparatus is reliable and provides a low-cost, high-quality, rapid approach for MALDI-MSI.

Abstract
Daidzein (D1) has been proved to be of great benefit to human health. More and more attention was paid to the metabolic process of D1. Most studies focused on the metabolites of D1 and analogs were determined through the excretion of animals and humans by traditional HPLC-MS, while their in situ distribution and metabolism in organs in vivo has not been reported. In our group, novel daidzein sulfonate derivatives were synthesized and confirmed to have excellent pharmaceutical properties. They exhibited good anti-inflammatory, inhibitory activities on human vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and other bioactivities. Compared with traditional analytical methods, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-TOF MSI) can directly analyze the distribution of compounds in tissues and organs. In this study, we investigate the in situ distribution and metabolism of D1 and its derivatives (DD2, DD3) in the organs of mice based on MALDI-TOF MSI for the first time. Trace prototype compounds were detected in the plasma 4 h after the intravenous injection of D1, DD2, and DD3. Seven phase I metabolites and seven phase II metabolites were detected. D1 sulfates were found in the plasma and in organs except the heart. The presence of D1 and DD3 monosulfates in the brain indicated that they could penetrate the blood–brain barrier. DD2 and DD3 could be hydrolyzed into D1 and their metabolic pathways were similar to those of D1. In addition, a ligand-receptor docking of D1 and DD2 with mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (JNK1) was performed because of their significant anti-inflammatory activities through the JNK signaling pathway. It showed that the binding energy of DD2 with JNK1 was obviously lower than that of D1 which was consistent with their anti-inflammatory activities. It provided a theoretical basis for further validation of their anti-inflammatory mechanism at the protein level. In summary, the research will provide beneficial guidance for further pharmacological, toxicological studies and the clinical-use research of these compounds.

J Chromatogr A 2022; 1678:463361. [PMID: 35914408 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.463361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
In this study, an on-tissue chemical labeling - matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) method was developed for visualization of the distribution of three catecholamine (CA) compounds (dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine) in porcine adrenal gland. Commercially available pyrene-1-boronic acid (PBA) was employed as an effective in situ derivatizing reagent dissolved in acetonitrile containing 0.1% pyridine for the chemical labeling and the matrix coating. Without extra matrix coating, the tissue section was directly analyzed by MALDI-MS. The detection specificity and sensitivity were greatly improved with the on-tissue PBA labeling and successful imaging of the three CAs in porcine adrenal gland was achieved. Compared with previously reported methods for MALDI-MSI of the CAs, the analytical strategy proposed in the study provided a robust, easy-to-use and low-cost on-tissue chemical derivatization method that facilitated simultaneous molecular imaging of the three compounds.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the spatial distribution of various types of molecules. Matrix deposition is a critical step for obtaining high-quality imaging data. An automatic device named SoniCoat was fabricated based on an ultrasonic nozzle driven by a pizeoelectric ceramic for matrix coating in the present study. Compared with the minihumidifier developed previously by our group for matrix deposition, SoniCoat realized automation, and the ultrasonic nozzle of this device is easy to clean and less likely to get clogged, indicating a longer life. Compared with commercial and homemade instruments such as the TM-Sprayer and electrospray matrix coating device, our newly developed device achieved a good nebulization effect without the need for high-pressure gas flow and high voltage. Matrix deposition by SoniCoat generated more homogeneous matrix crystals with diameters of about 10 μm and reduced the occurrence of molecular diffusion to a greater extent, compared with the results by TM-Sprayer. Repeatable high-spatial-resolution MS imaging data were obtained with the help of SoniCoat. Furthermore, the newly developed device can also be successfully applied for in situ derivatization.

Abstract
The application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) imaging to quantitative analyses is restricted by the variability of MS intensity of the analytes in nonreproducible matrix crystals of tissues. To overcome this challenge, a fluorescence-assisted spraying method was developed for a constant matrix amount employing an MS-detectable fluorescent reagent, rhodamine 6G (R6G), which was sprayed with the matrix. To form a homogeneous matrix crystal on the tissue section, a matrix solution, 1,5-diaminonaphthalene (10 mg/mL), containing R6G (40 μg/mL) and O-dinitrobenzene (O-DNB, 10 mg/mL) was sprayed until the desired constant fluorescence intensity was achieved. Compared with that obtained via conventional cycle-number-fixed spraying [relative standard deviation (RSD) = 31.1%], the reproducibility of the relative MS intensity of the analyte [ferulic acid (FA), RSD = 3.1%] to R6G was significantly improved by the fluorescence-assisted matrix spraying. This result indicated that R6G could be employed as an index of the matrix amount and an MS normalizing standard. The proposed matrix spraying successfully quantified nifedipine (0.5-40 pmol/mm2 in the positive mode, R2 = 0.965) and FA (0.5-75 pmol/mm2 in the negative mode, R2 = 0.9972) in the kidney section of a rat. Employing the quantitative MALDI-MS imaging assay, FA, which accumulated in the kidney of the rat after 50 mg/kg was orally administered, was visually determined to be 3.5, 3.0, and 0.2 μmol/g tissue at 15, 30, and 60 min, respectively.

Abstract
The current matrix deposition methods in MALDI-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) face technical problems related to the inhomogeneous distribution of crystals and the low analyte extraction and cocrystallization efficiency. In this work, an integrated matrix sublimation device with synchronous solvent nebulization was developed for MALDI-MSI. Droplets of solvents were directly introduced into the chamber of the sublimator by using a miniaturized ultrasonic nebulizer unit. The synchronous and asynchronous working modes of solvent nebulization and matrix sublimation were systematically investigated. Imaging of both protein and small metabolite distributions in mouse brain tissue sections was successfully performed using the developed matrix deposition device. The sensitivity and quality of the images were clearly improved in synchronous mode compared with those of the conventional spray and sublimation methods. These results demonstrate that the integrated device with both solvent nebulization and matrix sublimation is a useful tool in MALDI-MSI applications.
