Abstract
Thermal denaturation (TD), known as antigen retrieval, heats tissue samples in a buffered solution to expose protein epitopes. Thermal denaturation of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples enhances on-tissue tryptic digestion, increasing peptide detection using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS). We investigated the tissue-dependent effects of TD on peptide MALDI IMS and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry signal in unfixed, frozen human colon, ovary, and pancreas tissue. In a triplicate experiment using time-of-flight, orbitrap, and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry platforms, we found that TD had a tissue-dependent effect on peptide signal, resulting in a (22.5%) improvement in peptide detection from the colon, a (73.3%) improvement in ovary tissue, and a (96.6%) improvement in pancreas tissue. Biochemical analysis of identified peptides shows that TD facilitates identification of hydrophobic peptides.

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. [PMID: 38609267 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342528] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
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
Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a central technique in cancer research. The ability to analyze various types of biomolecules in complex biological matrices makes it well suited for understanding biochemical alterations associated with disease progression. Different biological samples, including serum, urine, saliva, and tissues have been successfully analyzed using mass spectrometry. In particular, spatial metabolomics using MS imaging (MSI) allows the direct visualization of metabolite distributions in tissues, thus enabling in-depth understanding of cancer-associated biochemical changes within specific structures. In recent years, MSI studies have been increasingly used to uncover metabolic reprogramming associated with cancer development, enabling the discovery of key biomarkers with potential for cancer diagnostics. In this review, we aim to cover the basic principles of MSI experiments for the nonspecialists, including fundamentals, the sample preparation process, the evolution of the mass spectrometry techniques used, and data analysis strategies. We also review MSI advances associated with cancer research in the last 5 years, including spatial lipidomics and glycomics, the adoption of three-dimensional and multimodal imaging MSI approaches, and the implementation of artificial intelligence/machine learning in MSI-based cancer studies. The adoption of MSI in clinical research and for single-cell metabolomics is also discussed. Spatially resolved studies on other small molecule metabolites such as amino acids, polyamines, and nucleotides/nucleosides will not be discussed in the context.

Abstract
Optimizing the metabolic phenotype to improve cerebral function is critical for treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Guhong injection (GHI), which comprised safflower extract and aceglutamide, is widely prescribed in Chinese medicine for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. In this study, a combination of LC-QQQ-MS and MALDI-MSI were utilized to explore tissue-specific metabolic alterations in the brain of I/R, as well as to evaluate the therapeutic effect of GHI. Pharmacological evaluation demonstrated that GHI can significantly improve infarction rate, neurological deficit, cerebral blood flow, and neuronal damage in I/R rats. Based on LC-QQQ-MS, 23 energy metabolites were found to be significantly altered in the I/R group compared to the sham group (P < 0.05). After GHI treatment, 12 metabolites, including G6P, TPP, NAD, citrate, succinate, malate, ATP, GTP, GDP, ADP, NADP, and FMN showed a significant tendency of returning to baseline values (P < 0.05). Based on MALDI-MSI, 4 metabolites in glycolysis and TCA, 4 metabolites in nucleic acid metabolism, 4 amino acid metabolites, and 6 metabolites were discovered and compared between the different groups in the four special regions of cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and striatum. Parts of these were found to have significant changes after I/R in the special brain region, and were regulated by GHI. The study provides comprehensive and detailed information for specific metabolic reprogramming of brain tissue in rats with I/R, and the therapeutic effect of GHI. Schema describing the discovery strategies of integrated LC-MS and MALDI-MSI to identify cerebral ischemia reperfusion metabolic reprogramming and GHI therapeutic effects.

Forensic Sci Res 2023; 8:140-151.

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
We used deep neural networks to process the mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data of mouse muscle (young vs aged) and human cancer (tumor vs normal adjacent) tissues, with the aim of using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to rapidly identify biomarkers that can distinguish different classes of tissues, from several thousands of metabolite features. We also modified classic neural network architectures to construct a deep convolutional neural network that is more suitable for processing high-dimensional MSI data directly, instead of using dimension reduction techniques, and compared it to seven other machine learning analysis methods' performance in classification accuracy. After ascertaining the superiority of Channel-ResNet10, we used a novel channel selection-based XAI method to identify the key metabolite features that were responsible for its learning accuracy. These key metabolite biomarkers were then processed using MetaboAnalyst for pathway enrichment mapping. We found that Channel-ResNet10 was superior to seven other machine learning methods for MSI analysis, reaching > 98% accuracy in muscle aging and colorectal cancer datasets. We also used a novel channel selection-based XAI method to find that in young and aged muscle tissues, the differentially distributed metabolite biomarkers were especially enriched in the propanoate metabolism pathway, suggesting it as a novel target pathway for anti-aging therapy.

Abstract
Metabolic anomalies contribute to tissue dysfunction. Current metabolism research spans from organelles to populations, and new technologies can accommodate investigation across these scales. Here, we review recent advancements in metabolic analysis, including small-scale metabolomics techniques amenable to organelles and rare cell types, functional screening to explore how cells respond to metabolic stress, and imaging approaches to non-invasively assess metabolic perturbations in diseases. We discuss how metabolomics provides an informative phenotypic dimension that complements genomic analysis in Mendelian and non-Mendelian disorders. We also outline pressing challenges and how addressing them may further clarify the biochemical basis of human disease.

Abstract
Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has developed into a powerful tool allowing label-free detection of numerous biomolecules in situ. In contrast to shotgun proteomics, proteins/peptides can be detected directly from biological tissues and correlated to its morphology leading to a gain of crucial clinical information. However, direct identification of the detected molecules is currently challenging for MALDI-IMS, thereby compelling researchers to use complementary techniques and resource intensive experimental setups. Despite these strategies, sufficient information could not be extracted because of lack of an optimum data combination strategy/software. Here, we introduce a new open-source software ImShot that aims at identifying peptides obtained in MALDI-IMS. This is achieved by combining information from IMS and shotgun proteomics (LC-MS) measurements of serial sections of the same tissue. The software takes advantage of a two-group comparison to determine the search space of IMS masses after deisotoping the corresponding spectra. Ambiguity in annotations of IMS peptides is eliminated by introduction of a novel scoring system that identifies the most likely parent protein of a detected peptide in the corresponding IMS dataset. Thanks to its modular structure, the software can also handle LC-MS data separately and display interactive enrichment plots and enriched Gene Ontology terms or cellular pathways. The software has been built as a desktop application with a conveniently designed graphic user interface to provide users with a seamless experience in data analysis. ImShot can run on all the three major desktop operating systems and is freely available under Massachusetts Institute of Technology license.

Abstract
Infrared (IR) laser ablation was used to remove localized tissue regions from which proteins were extracted and processed with a low volume sample preparation workflow for bottom-up proteomics by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated glass slide with 2 mm diameter microwells was used to capture ablated rat brain tissue for in situ protein digestion with submicroliter solution volumes. The resulting peptides were analyzed with LC-MS/MS for protein identification and label-free quantification. The method was used to identify an average of 600, 1350, and 1900 proteins from ablation areas of 0.01, 0.04, and 0.1 mm2, respectively, from a 50 μm thick rat brain tissue section. Differential proteomics of 0.01 mm2 regions captured from cerebral cortex and corpus callosum was accomplished to demonstrate the capabilities of the approach.

Abstract
To make the vast collections of well-documented human clinical samples archived in biobanks accessible for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), recent developments have focused on the label-free top-down MS analysis of neuropeptides in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. In analogy to immunohistochemistry (IHC), this variant of MSI has been designated MSHC (mass spectrometry histochemistry). Besides the detection and localization of neuropeptide and other biomolecular MS signals in these FFPE samples, there is great interest in their molecular identification and full characterization. We here used matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) MSI employing ultrahigh-resolution FT-ICR MS on 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) coated five-micron sections of human FFPE pituitary to demonstrate clear isotope patterns and elemental composition assignment of neuropeptides (with ∼1 ppm mass accuracy). Besides tandem MS fragmentation pattern analysis to deduce or confirm amino acid sequence information (Arg-vasopressin for the case presented here), there is a need for orthogonal primary structure characterization of the peptide-like MS signals of biomolecules desorbed directly off FFPE tissue sections. In the present work, we performed liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) extractions on consecutive (uncoated) tissue slices. This enables the successful characterization by ion mobility MS of vasopressin present in FFPE material. Differences in sequence coverage are discussed on the basis of the mobility selected collision induced dissociation (CID), electron capture dissociation (ECD), and UV photodissociation (UVPD) MS/MS. Using Arg-vasopressin as model case (a peptide with a disulfide bridged ring structure), we illustrate the use of LESA in combination with a reduction agent for effective sequencing using mobility selected CID, ECD, and UVPD MS/MS.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is an advanced technique that uses minimum fragmented ions from complex molecules for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis (tissue profiling by mass spectrometry). It is able to analyze spatially resolved tissue or tumor sections at the molecular level. It has become a valuable tool for tumor and tissue imaging, due to its ease of operation and high mass resolution, but it still has vast room for development in the instrumentation of larger proteins in some tissues. In this review, we focus on the main components of MALDI-MS instrumentation, sample handling and processing, the working principle of MALDI-MS, and its applications in diagnostic and prognostic assessments, tumor removal and drug development. Although it is less effective at detecting larger proteins in some tissues, it still shows huge potential because of its advancements in instrumentation and processing protocols. This article may benefit those who have interests in MALDI-MS for tissue or tumor imaging.

Abstract
The kidney functions through the coordination of approximately one million multifunctional nephrons in 3-dimensional space. Molecular understanding of the kidney has relied on transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses of kidney homogenate, but these approaches do not resolve cellular identity and spatial context. Mass spectrometry analysis of isolated cells retains cellular identity but not information regarding its cellular neighborhood and extracellular matrix. Spatially targeted mass spectrometry is uniquely suited to molecularly characterize kidney tissue while retaining in situ cellular context. This review summarizes advances in methodology and technology for spatially targeted mass spectrometry analysis of kidney tissue. Profiling technologies such as laser capture microdissection (LCM) coupled to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry provide deep molecular coverage of specific tissue regions, while imaging technologies such as matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) molecularly profile regularly spaced tissue regions with greater spatial resolution. These technologies individually have furthered our understanding of heterogeneity in nephron regions such as glomeruli and proximal tubules, and their combination is expected to profoundly expand our knowledge of the kidney in health and disease.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing the spatial distribution of peptides, small proteins, and other molecules within biological tissues. The obtained signals can be correlated with underlying tissue architecture, without any geometrical distortion, enabling the so-called molecular histology. Here, we analyzed cryopreserved tissue samples employing the MALDI-IMS for proteins and peptides. We used a nonstandard OCT-free cryo-slicing protocol, followed by Carnoy delipidation. Automated matrix spray was utilized to circumvent some of MALDI-IMS technology drawbacks in protein and peptide analysis.

Abstract
Deep-ultraviolet laser ablation with a pulsed 193 nm ArF excimer laser was used to remove localized regions from tissue sections from which proteins were extracted for spatially resolved proteomic analysis by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The ability to capture intact proteins by ablation at 193 nm wavelength was verified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) of the protein standard bovine serum albumin (BSA), which showed that BSA was ablated and captured without fragmentation. A Bradford assay of the ablated and captured proteins indicated 90% efficiency for transfer of the intact protein at a laser fluence of 3 kJ/m2. Rat brain tissue sections mounted on quartz microscope slides and ablated in transmission mode yielded 2 μg protein per mm2 as quantified by the Bradford assay. Tissue areas ranging from 0.06 mm2 to 1 mm2 were ablated and the ejected material was collected for proteomic analysis. Extracted proteins were digested and the resulting peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The proteins extracted from the ablated areas were identified and the average number of identified proteins ranged from 85 in the 0.06 mm2 area to 2400 in the 1 mm2 area of a 50 μm thick tissue. In comparison to infrared laser ablation of equivalent sampled areas, both the protein mass and number of proteins identified using DUV laser ablation sampling were approximately four times larger.

Abstract
Background Notoginseng leaf triterpenes (PNGL) is believed to have neuroprotective effects via the inhibition of inflammatory response and neuronal apoptosis. However, its mechanisms underlying the anti-ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury effects on the regulation of small molecule metabolism in rat brain remains unclear. The purpose of this study was thus to explore the mechanisms of PNGL on the regulation of small molecule metabolism in rat brain after I/R injury using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). Methods As a model of in vivo cerebral I/R injury, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were established with a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model after PNGL administration with 40 mg·kg-1 through intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) for 7 days. We assessed the neurological behavior, regional cerebral blood flow (r CBF), neuron injury, and spatial distribution of metabolic small molecules. Results Our in vivo results suggested that PNGL increased cerebral blood flow and relieved neurological dysfunction. Furthermore, using MALDI-MSI, we demonstrated that PNGL regulated 16 endogenous small molecules implicated in metabolic networks including tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism, malate-aspartate shuttle, metal ions, and antioxidants underwent noticeable changes after reperfusion for 24 h. Conclusions PNGL is a novel cerebrovascular agent that can improve cerebral blood flow and attenuate adverse neurological disorders. The mechanisms are closely correlated with relative metabolic pathways, which offers insight into exploring new mechanisms in PNGL for the treatment of cerebral I/R injury.

Abstract
Lipids often are labile, unstable, and tend to degrade overtime, so it is of the upmost importance to study these molecules in their most native state. We sought to understand the optimal storage conditions for spatial lipidomic analysis of human kidney tissue sections. Specifically, we evaluated human kidney tissue sections on several different days throughout the span of a week using our established protocol for elucidating lipids using high mass resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). We studied kidney tissue sections stored under five different conditions: open stored at -80 °C, vacuumed sealed and stored at -80 °C, with matrix preapplied before storage at -80 °C, under a nitrogen atmosphere and stored at -80 °C, and at room temperature in a desiccator. Results were compared to data obtained from kidney tissue sections that were prepared and analyzed immediately after cryosectioning. Data was processed using METASPACE. After a week of storage, the sections stored at room temperature showed the largest amount of lipid degradation, while sections stored under nitrogen and at -80 °C retained the greatest number of overlapping annotations in relation to freshly cut tissue. Overall, we found that molecular degradation of the tissue sections was unavoidable over time, regardless of storage conditions, but storing tissue sections in an inert gas at low temperatures can curtail molecular degradation within tissue sections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Dysregulated lipid metabolism has emerged as one of the major risk factors of atherosclerosis. Presently, there is a consensus that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) promotes development of atherosclerosis and downstream chronic inflammatory responses. Due to the dynamic metabolic disposition of lipoprotein, conventional approach to purify bioactive lipids for subsequent comprehensive analysis has proven to be inadequate for elucidation of the oxidized lipids species accountable for pathophysiology of atherosclerotic lesions. Herein, we aimed to utilize a novel mass microscopic imaging technology, coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize oxidized lipids in atherosclerotic lesions. METHODS We attempted to use MALDI-TOF-MS and iMScope to identify selected oxidized lipid targets and visualize their respective localizations in study models of atherosclerosis. RESULTS Based on the MS analysis, detection of 7-K under positive ionization through product ion peak at m/z 383 [M + H-H2O] indicated the distinctive presence of targeted lipid within Cu2+-oxLDL and Cu2+-oxLDL loaded macrophage-like J774A.1 cells, along with other cholesterol oxidation products. Moreover, the application of two-dimensional iMScope has successfully visualized the localization of lipids in aortic atherosclerotic plaques of the Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbit. Distinctive lipid distribution profiles were observed in atherosclerotic lesions of different sizes, especially the localizations of lysoPCs in atherosclerotic plaques. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, we believe that both MALDI-TOF-MS and iMScope metabolomics technology may offer a novel proposition for future pathophysiological studies of lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a syndrome of severe neurological responses that cause neuronal death, damage to the neurovascular unit and inflammation. Notoginsenoside R1 (NG-R1) is a neuroprotective drug that is commonly used to treat neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases. However, its potential mechanisms on the regulation of small molecule metabolism in ischemic stroke are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the potential mechanisms of NG-R1 on the regulation of small molecule metabolism after ischemic stroke. Here, we found that NG-R1 reduced infarct size and improved neurological deficits by ameliorating neuronal damage and inhibiting glial activation in MCAO/R rats. Furthermore, using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), we clarified that NG-R1 regulated ATP metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the malate-aspartate shuttle, antioxidant activity, and the homeostasis of iron and phospholipids in the striatum and hippocampus of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) rats. In general, NG-R1 is a promising compound for brain protection from ischemic/reperfusion injury, possibly through the regulation of brain small molecule metabolism.

Abstract
Quantitative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is an effective technique for determining the spatial distribution of molecules in a variety of sample types; however, the quality of the ion signals is related to the chemical and morphological properties of the tissue and the targeted analyte(s). Issues may arise with the incorporation of standards into the tissue at repeatable, well-defined concentrations, as well as with the extraction and incorporation of endogenous analytes versus standards from tissue into the matrix. To address these concerns, we combine imprint MSI (iMSI) with kinetic calibration and use it to quantify lipids in rat brain tissue samples. Briefly, tissues were imprinted on slides coated with a dopamine-modified TiO2 monolith pretreated with analyte standards, resulting in the adsorption of endogenous analytes onto the coating and desorption of standards into the tissue. The incorporation of standards into the tissue enabled quantification of the measured analytes using kinetic calibration. Moreover, matrix effects were reduced, and the intensities of analyte standard signals became more uniform. The symmetry of the adsorption of endogenous ceramides and the desorption of ceramide standards suggest that the content of adsorbed endogenous ceramide can be determined by measuring the content of desorbed ceramide standard. Using kinetic calibration, endogenous ceramide concentrations were calculated for a range of dry and wet tissue imprinting conditions and compared to quantitative MSI using a standard spiking approach. We validated the relative quantitative values from iMSI using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and found that the ratios from iMSI as compared to LC-MS/MS were in the range of 70-200% over the concentration range of endogenous ceramides; the correlation coefficient between iMSI and LC-MS/MS was over 0.9 (Pearson's r), while the relative recoveries via traditional standard spiking were between 200% and 5000% depending on the brain region and sample preparation conditions.

JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2020; 55:e4475.

Abstract
A multimodal workflow for mass spectrometry imaging was developed that combines MALDI imaging with protein identification and quantification by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Thin tissue sections were analyzed by MALDI imaging, and the regions of interest (ROI) were identified using a smoothing and edge detection procedure. A midinfrared laser at 3-μm wavelength was used to remove the ROI from the brain tissue section after MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). The captured material was processed using a single-pot solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3) method and analyzed by LC-MS/MS using ion mobility (IM) enhanced data independent acquisition (DIA) to identify and quantify proteins; more than 600 proteins were identified. Using a modified database that included isoform and the post-translational modifications chain, loss of the initial methionine, and acetylation, 14 MALDI MSI peaks were identified. Comparison of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways of the identified proteins was achieved through an evolutionary relationships classification system.

Abstract
Automated matrix deposition for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is crucial for producing reproducible analyte ion signals. Here we report an innovative method employing an automated immersion apparatus, which enables a robust matrix deposition within 5 minutes and with scalable throughput by using MAPS matrix and non-polar solvents. MSI results received from mouse heart and rat brain tissues were qualitatively similar to those from nozzle sprayed samples with respect to peak number and quality of the ion images. Overall, the immersion-method enables a fast and careful matrix deposition and has the future potential for implementation in clinical tissue diagnostics.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary tumor in the central nervous system, accounting for 12%-15% of all brain tumors. 3-O-Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), one of the most active ingredients of gum resin from Boswellia carteri Birdw., was reported to inhibit the growth of glioblastoma cells and subcutaneous glioblastoma. However, whether AKBA has antitumor effects on orthotopic glioblastoma and the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. An orthotopic mouse model was used to evaluate the anti-glioblastoma effects of AKBA. The effects of AKBA on tumor growth were evaluated using MRI. The effects on the alteration of metabolic landscape were detected by MALDI-MSI. The underlying mechanisms of autophagy reducing by AKBA treatment were determined by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence, respectively. Transmission electron microscope was used to check morphology of cells treated by AKBA. Our results showed that AKBA (100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the growth of orthotopic U87-MG gliomas. Results from MALDI-MSI showed that AKBA improved the metabolic profile of mice with glioblastoma, while immunoblot assays revealed that AKBA suppressed the expression of ATG5, p62, LC3B, p-ERK/ERK, and P53, and increased the ratio of p-mTOR/mTOR. Taken together, these results suggested that the antitumor effects of AKBA were related to the normalization of aberrant metabolism in the glioblastoma and the inhibition of autophagy. AKBA could be a promising chemotherapy drug for glioblastoma.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) has become a powerful tool with a high potential relevance for the analysis of biomolecules in tissue samples in the context of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular or cardiorenal diseases. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the technology of MALDI MSI. However, a more systematic optimization of sample preparation would likely achieve an increase in the molecular information derived from MALDI MSI. Therefore, we have employed a systematic approach to develop, establish and validate an optimized "standard operating protocol" (SOP) for sample preparation in MALDI MSI of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sample analyses within this study. The optimized parameters regarding the impact on the resulting signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio were as follows: (i) trypsin concentration, solvents, deposition method, and incubation time; (ii) tissue washing procedures and drying processes; and (iii) spray flow rate, number of layers of trypsin deposition, and grid size. The protocol was evaluated on interday variability and its applicability for analyzing the mouse kidney, aorta, and heart FFPE tissue samples. In conclusion, an optimized SOP for MALDI MSI of FFPE tissue sections was developed to generate high sensitivity, to enhance spatial resolution and reproducibility, and to increase its applicability for various tissue types. This optimized SOP will further increase the molecular information content and intensify the use of MSI in future basic research and diagnostic applications. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging is routinely used to visualize the distributions of biomolecules in tissue sections. In plants, mass spectrometry imaging of metabolites is more often conducted, but the imaging of larger molecules is less frequently performed despite the importance of proteins and endogenous peptides to the plant. Here, we describe a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging method for the imaging of peptides in Medicago truncatula root nodules. Sample preparation steps including embedding in gelatin, sectioning, and matrix application are described. The method described is employed to determine the spatial distribution of hundreds of peptide peaks.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a technique for mapping the spatial distributions of molecules in sectioned tissue. Histology-preserving tissue preparation methods are central to successful MSI studies. Common fixation methods, used to preserve tissue morphology, can result in artifacts in the resulting MSI experiment including delocalization of analytes, altered adduct profiles, and loss of key analytes due to irreversible cross-linking and diffusion. This is especially troublesome in lung and airway samples, in which histology and morphology is best interpreted from 3D reconstruction, requiring the large and small airways to remain inflated during analysis. Here, we developed an MSI-compatible inflation containing as few exogenous components as possible, forgoing perfusion, fixation, and addition of salt solutions upon inflation that resulted in an ungapped 3D molecular reconstruction through more than 300 microns. We characterized a series of polyunsaturated phospholipids (PUFA-PLs), specifically phosphatidylinositol (-PI) lipids linked to lethal inflammation in bacterial infection and mapped them in serial sections of inflated mouse lung. PUFA-PIs were identified using spatial lipidomics and determined to be determinant markers of major airway features using unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Deep lung architecture was preserved using this inflation approach and the resulting sections are compatible with multiple MSI modalities, automated interpretation software, and serial 3D reconstruction.

Abstract
Traditionally, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is used by pathologists to localise specific proteins or peptides in tissue slides. In the era of personalised medicine, however, molecular tissue analysis becomes indispensable for correct diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic decision, not only on the DNA or mRNA level but also on the protein level. Combining molecular information with imaging presents many advantages. Therefore, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) is a promising technique to be added to the armamentarium of the pathologist. Here, we focus on the workflow, advantages and drawbacks of both MALDI IMS and IHC. We also briefly discuss a few other protein imaging modalities and give examples of applications.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) is an analytical technique for understanding the spatial distribution of biomolecules across a sample surface. Originally employed for mammalian tissues, this technology has been adapted to study specimens as diverse as microbes and cell cultures, food such as strawberries, and invertebrates including the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster. As an ideal model organism, Drosophila has brought greater understanding about conserved biological processes, organism development, and diseased states and even informed management practices of agriculturally and environmentally important species. Drosophila displays anatomically separated renal (Malpighian) tubules that are the physiological equivalent to the vertebrate nephron. Insect Malpighian tubules are also responsible for pesticide detoxification. In this article, we first describe an effective workflow and sample preparation method to study the phospholipid distribution of the Malpighian tubules that initially involves the manual microdissection of the tubules in saline buffer followed by a series of washes to remove excess salt and enhances the phospholipid signals prior to matrix deposition and IMS at 25-μm spatial resolution. We also established a complementary methodology for lipid IMS analysis of whole-body fly sections using a dual-polarity data acquisition approach at the same spatial resolution after matrix deposition by sublimation. Both procedures yield rich signal profiles from the major phospholipid classes. The reproducibility and high-quality results offered by these methodologies enable cohort studies of Drosophila through MALDI IMS.

Abstract
Chemical synthesis is performed by reacting different chemical building blocks with defined stoichiometry, while meeting additional conditions, such as temperature and reaction time. Such a procedure is especially suited for automation and miniaturization. Life sciences lead the way to synthesizing millions of different oligonucleotides in extremely miniaturized reaction sites, e.g., pinpointing active genes in whole genomes, while chemistry advances different types of automation. Recent progress in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) imaging could match miniaturized chemical synthesis with a powerful analytical tool to validate the outcome of many different synthesis pathways beyond applications in the life sciences. Thereby, due to the radical miniaturization of chemical synthesis, thousands of molecules can be synthesized. This in turn should allow ambitious research, e.g., finding novel synthesis routes or directly screening for photocatalysts. Herein, different technologies are discussed that might be involved in this endeavor. A special emphasis is given to the obstacles that need to be tackled when depositing tiny amounts of materials to many different extremely miniaturized reaction sites.

Abstract
Reproducibility, or a lack thereof, is an increasingly important topic across many research fields. A key aspect of reproducibility is accurate reporting of both experiments and the resulting data. Herein, we propose a reporting guideline for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). Previous standards have laid out guidelines sufficient to guarantee a certain quality of reporting; however, they set a high bar and as a consequence can be exhaustive and broad, thus limiting uptake.To help address this lack of uptake, we propose a reporting supplement-Minimum Information About a Mass Spectrometry Imaging Experiment (MIAMSIE)-and its abbreviated reporting standard version, MSIcheck. MIAMSIE is intended to improve author-driven reporting. It is intentionally not exhaustive, but is rather designed for extensibility and could therefore eventually become analogous to existing standards that aim to guarantee reporting quality. Conversely, its abbreviated form MSIcheck is intended as a diagnostic tool focused on key aspects in MSI reporting.We discuss how existing standards influenced MIAMSIE/MSIcheck and how these new approaches could positively impact reporting quality, followed by test implementation of both standards to demonstrate their use. For MIAMSIE, we report on author reviews of four articles and a dataset. For MSIcheck, we show a snapshot review of a one-month subset of the MSI literature that indicated issues with data provision and the reporting of both data analysis steps and calibration settings for MS systems. Although our contribution is MSI specific, we believe the underlying approach could be considered as a general strategy for improving scientific reporting.

Abstract
Nematodes are devastating pests that infect most cultivated plant species and cause considerable agricultural losses worldwide. The understanding of metabolic adjustments induced during plant-nematode interaction is crucial to generate resistant plants or to select more efficient molecules to fight against this pest. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has been used herein for in situ detection and mapping endogenous polypeptides and secondary metabolites from nematode-induced gall tissue. One of the major critical features of this technique is sample preparation; mainly, the generation of intact sections of plant cells with their rigid cell walls and vacuolated cytoplasm. Our experimental settings allowed us to obtain sections without contamination of exogenous ions or diffusion of molecules and to map the differential presence of low and high molecular weight ions in uninfected roots compared with nematode-induced galls. We predict the presence of lipids in both uninfected roots and galls, which was validated by MALDI time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry and high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of lipid extracts. Based on the isotopic ion distribution profile, both esters and glycerophospholipids were predicted compounds and may be playing an important role in gall development. Our results indicate that the MALDI-MSI technology is a promising tool to identify secondary metabolites as well as peptides and proteins in complex plant tissues like galls to decipher molecular processes responsible for infection and maintenance of these feeding sites during nematode parasitism.

Abstract
Pre-clinical and clinical studies are now beginning to demonstrate the high potential of cell therapies in enhancing muscle regeneration. We previously demonstrated functional benefit after the transplantation of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-TX) into a severe muscle crush trauma model. Despite our increasing understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying MSC's regenerative function, little is known about the local molecular alterations and their spatial distribution within the tissue after MSC-TX. Here, we used MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) in combination with multivariate statistical strategies to uncover previously unknown peptide alterations within severely injured skeletal muscles. Our analysis revealed that very early molecular alterations in response to MSC-TX occur largely in the region adjacent to the trauma and only to a small extent in the actual trauma region. Using "bottom up" mass spectrometry, we subsequently identified the proteins corresponding to the differentially expressed peptide intensity distributions in the specific muscle regions and used immunohistochemistry to validate our results. These findings extend our current understanding about the early molecular processes of muscle healing and highlights the critical role of trauma adjacent tissue during the early therapeutic response upon treatment with MSC.

Abstract
Food intake is regulated by various neuromodulators, including numerous neuropeptides. However, it remains elusive at the molecular and cellular level as to how these important chemicals regulate internal processes and which regions of the neuronal organs are responsible for regulating the behavior. Here we report a comparative neuropeptidomic analysis of the brain and pericardial organ (PO) in response to feeding in two well-studied crustacean physiology model organisms, Callinectes sapidus and Carcinus maenas, using mass spectrometry (MS) techniques. A multifaceted MS-based approach has been developed to obtain complementary information on the expression changes of a large array of neuropeptides in the brain and PO. The method employs stable isotope labeling of brain and PO extracts for relative MS quantitation, capillary electrophoresis (CE)-MS for fractionation and high-specificity analysis, and mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) for in-situ molecular mapping of peptides. A number of neuropeptides, including RFamides, B-type allatostatins (AST-B), RYamides, and orcokinins exhibit significant changes in abundance after feeding in this investigation. Peptides from the AST-B family found in PO tissue were shown to have both altered expression and localization changes after feeding, indicating that they may be a class of vital neuropeptide regulators involved in feeding behavior.

Abstract
Lipids, particularly phospholipids (PLs), are key components of cellular membrane. PLs play important and diverse roles in cells such as chemical-energy storage, cellular signaling, cell membranes, and cell-cell interactions in tissues. All these cellular processes are pertinent to cells that undergo transformation, cancer progression, and metastasis. Thus, there is a strong possibility that some classes of PLs are expected to present in cancer cells and tissues in cellular physiology. The mass spectrometric soft-ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) are well-established in the proteomics field, have been used for lipidomic analysis in cancer research. This review focused on the applications of mass spectrometry (MS) mainly on ESI-MS and MALDI-MS in the structural characterization, molecular composition and key roles of various PLs present in cancer cells, tissues, blood, and urine, and on their importance for cancer-related problems as well as challenges for development of novel PL-based biomarkers. The profiling of PLs helps to rationalize their functions in biological systems, and will also provide diagnostic information to elucidate mechanisms behind the control of cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. The investigation of cellular PLs with MS methods suggests new insights on various cancer diseases and clinical applications in the drug discovery and development of biomarkers for various PL-related different cancer diseases. PL profiling in tissues, cells and body fluids also reflect the general condition of the whole organism and can indicate the existence of cancer and other diseases. PL profiling with MS opens new prospects to assess alterations of PLs in cancer, screening specific biomarkers and provide a basis for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) is routinely used to determine the spatial distributions of various biomolecules in tissues. Recently, there has been an increased interest in creating higher resolution images using sources with more focused beams. One such source, an atmospheric pressure (AP) MALDI source from MassTech, has a laser capable of reaching spatial resolutions of 10 μm. Here, the AP-MALDI source coupled with a Q Exactive HF Orbitrap platform is compared to the commercial MALDI LTQ Orbitrap XL system using Medicago truncatula root nodules. AP-MALDI parameters, such as the S-lens value, capillary temperature, and spray voltage, were optimized on the Q Exactive-HF platform for optimal detection of plant metabolites. The performance of the two systems was evaluated for sensitivity, spatial resolution, and overall ability to detect plant metabolites. The commercial MALDI LTQ Orbitrap XL was superior regarding the number of compounds detected, as at least two times more m/z were detected compared to the AP-MALDI system. However, although the AP-MALDI source requires a spatial resolution higher than 10 μm to get the best signal, the spatial resolution at 30 μm is still superior compared to the 75 μm spatial resolution achieved on the MALDI platform. The AP-MALDI system was also used to investigate the metabolites present in M. truncatula roots and root nodules under high salt and low salt conditions. A discriminative analysis with SCiLS software revealed m/z ions specific to the control and salt conditions. This analysis revealed 44 m/z ions present at relatively higher abundances in the control samples, and 77 m/z enriched in the salt samples. Liquid chromatography-tandem MS was performed to determine the putative molecular identities of some of the mass ions enriched in each sample, including, asparagine, adenosine, and nicotianamine in the control samples, and arginine and soyasaponin I in the salt treated samples.

Abstract
SummaryThe identification and quantification of proteins and lipids is of major importance for the diagnosis, prognosis and understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in disease development. Owing to its selectivity and sensitivity, mass spectrometry has become a key technique in analytical platforms for proteomic and lipidomic investigations. Using this technique, many strategies have been developed based on unbiased or targeted approaches to highlight or monitor molecules of interest from biomatrices. Although these approaches have largely been employed in cancer research, this type of investigation has been met by a growing interest in the field of cardiovascular disorders, potentially leading to the discovery of novel biomarkers and the development of new therapies. In this paper, we will review the different mass spectrometry- based proteomic and lipidomic strategies applied in cardiovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis. Particular attention will be given to recent developments and the role of bioinformatics in data treatment. This review will be of broad interest to the medical community by providing a tutorial of how mass spectrometric strategies can support clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proteomics has been used in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) research in the attempts to improve the understanding of the disease background and develop novel clinical applications. Using various proteomics modalities, aberrant regulations of numerous intriguing proteins were identified in STSs, and the possible utilities of identified proteins as biomarkers or therapeutic targets have been explored. STS is an exceptionally diverse group of malignant diseases with highly complex molecular backgrounds and, therefore, an overview of the achievements and prospects of STS proteomics could enhance our knowledge of the possibilities and limitations of cancer proteomics. Areas covered: This review examines all STSs that have been examined using proteomics modalities, discussing unique aspects, limitations, and possible improvements of individual reports. To contribute to the current progress in cancer treatment development using novel anti-cancer drugs, proteomics plays a central role in linking cutting-edge technologies, application of proteogenomics, patient-derived cancer models, and biobanking system. Expert commentary: Therefore, proteomic-based STS research will be developed as an interdisciplinary science. STS proteomics will be further developed based on the interaction of oncologists with basic researchers in various fields, aimed at obtaining an enhanced understanding of the biology of the disease and achieving superior clinical outcomes for patients.

Abstract
Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is a pathological state that is associated with the cognitive impairments in vascular dementia. Oxiracetam is a nootropic drug that is commonly used to treat cognitive deficits of cerebrovascular origins. However, oxiracetam is currently used as a racemic mixture whose effective ingredient has not been identified to date. In this study, we first identified that (S)-oxiracetam, but not (R)-oxiracetam, was the effective ingredient that alleviated the impairments of spatial learning and memory by ameliorating neuron damage and white matter lesions, increasing the cerebral blood flow, and inhibiting astrocyte activation in chronic cerebral hypoperfused rats. Furthermore, using MALDI-MSI and LC-MS/MS, we demonstrated that (S)-oxiracetam regulated ATP metabolism, glutamine-glutamate and anti-oxidants in the cortex region of hypoperfused rats. Altogether, our results strongly suggest that (S)-oxiracetam alone could be a nootropic drug for the treatment of cognitive impairments caused by cerebral hypoperfusion.

Dopamine-modified TiO 2 monolith-assisted LDI MS imaging for simultaneous localization of small metabolites and lipids in mouse brain tissue with enhanced detection selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Localization of metabolites using multiplexed mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) provides important chemical information for biological research. In contrast to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), TiO2-assisted laser desorption/ionization (LDI) for MSI improves detection of low molecular mass metabolites (<500 Da) by reducing matrix background. However, the low UV absorption of TiO2 nanoparticles and their ester hydrolysis catalytic activity hinder the detection of phospholipids and many low-abundance molecules. To address these challenges, we evaluated and optimized the material morphology and composition of TiO2. Dopamine (DA) was found to be an efficient ligand for TiO2, resulting in increased UV light absorption, higher surface pH, and formation of monolithic TiO2-DA structures. The sub-micron scale and higher surface pH of the TiO2 particle sizes led to improved detection of phospholipid signals. Compared to unmodified TiO2 sub-micron particles, the DA-modified TiO2 monolith led to 10- to 30-fold increases in the signal-to-noise ratios of a number of compound peaks. The TiO2-DA monolith-assisted LDI MSI approach has higher selectivity and sensitivity for Lewis basic compounds, such as fatty acids, cholesterols, ceramides, diacylglycerols, and phosphatidylethanolamine, when analyzed in positive mode, than traditional MALDI MS. Using this new method, over 100 molecules, including amino acids, alkaloids, free fatty acids, peptides, and lipids, were localized in mouse brain sections. By comparing the presence and localization of those molecules in young and old mouse brains, the approach demonstrated good performance in the determination of aging-related neurochemical changes in the brain.

Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) enables localization of analytes of interest along with histology. More specifically, MALDI-IMS identifies the distributions of proteins, peptides, small molecules, lipids, and drugs and their metabolites in tissues, with high spatial resolution. This unique capacity to directly analyze tissue samples without the need for lengthy sample preparation reduces technical variability and renders MALDI-IMS ideal for the identification of potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and disease gradation. MALDI-IMS has evolved rapidly over the last decade and has been successfully used in both medical and basic research by scientists worldwide. In this review, we explore the clinical applications of MALDI-IMS, focusing on the major cancer types and neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, we re-emphasize the diagnostic potential of IMS and the challenges that must be confronted when conducting MALDI-IMS in clinical settings. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: MALDI Imaging, edited by Dr. Corinna Henkel and Prof. Peter Hoffmann.

Deciphering lymphoma pathogenesis via state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2016; 1047:2-14. [PMID: 27979587 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2016.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2016] [Revised: 10/18/2016] [Accepted: 11/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics specifically applied to comprehend the pathogenesis of lymphoma has incremental value in deciphering the heterogeneity in complex deregulated molecular mechanisms/pathways of the lymphoma entities, implementing the current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Essential global, targeted and functional differential proteomics analyses although still evolving, have been successfully implemented to shed light on lymphoma pathogenesis to discover and explore the role of potential lymphoma biomarkers and drug targets. This review aims to outline and appraise the present status of MS-based quantitative proteomic approaches in lymphoma research, introducing the current state-of-the-art MS-based proteomic technologies, the opportunities they offer in biological discovery in human lymphomas and the related limitation issues arising from sample preparation to data evaluation. It is a synopsis containing information obtained from recent research articles, reviews and public proteomics repositories (PRIDE). We hope that this review article will aid, assimilate and assess all the information aiming to accelerate the development and validation of diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic targets for an improved and empowered clinical proteomics application in lymphomas in the nearby future.

Abstract
![]()
Matrix-assisted
laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry
imaging (MSI) is used for the multiplex detection and characterization
of diverse analytes over a wide mass range directly from tissues.
However, analyte coverage with MALDI MSI is typically limited to the
more abundant compounds, which have m/z values that are distinct from MALDI matrix-related ions. On-tissue
analyte derivatization addresses these issues by selectively tagging
functional groups specific to a class of analytes, while simultaneously
changing their molecular masses and improving their desorption and
ionization efficiency. We evaluated electrospray deposition of liquid-phase
derivatization agents as a means of on-tissue analyte derivatization
using 2-picolylamine; we were able to detect a range of endogenous
fatty acids with MALDI MSI. When compared with airbrush application,
electrospray led to a 3-fold improvement in detection limits and decreased
analyte delocalization. Six fatty acids were detected and visualized
from rat cerebrum tissue using a MALDI MSI instrument operating in
positive mode. MALDI MSI of the hippocampal area allowed targeted
fatty acid analysis of the dentate gyrus granule cell layer and the
CA1 pyramidal layer with a 20-μm pixel width, without degrading
the localization of other lipids during liquid-phase analyte derivatization.

Abstract
Infrared chemical imaging is a rapidly emerging field with new advances in instrumentation, data acquisition and data analysis. These developments have had significant impact in biomedical applications and numerous studies have now shown that this technology offers great promise for the improved diagnosis of the diseased state. Relying on purely biochemical signatures rather than contrast from exogenous dyes and stains, infrared chemical imaging has the potential to revolutionise histopathology for improved disease diagnosis. In this review we discuss the recent advances in infrared spectroscopic imaging specifically related to spectral histopathology (SHP) and consider the current state of the field. Finally we consider the practical application of SHP for disease diagnosis and consider potential barriers to clinical translation highlighting current directions and the future outlook.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Modern lipid analysis requires mass spectrometric techniques, though to date these have been developed and applied primarily to histological serial sections. As such, there has been little emphasis on using mass spectrometry in such a way that the same specimen can yield both chemical and morphological information. Here, we present a mass spectrometric method that enables measurement of lipids from cells on cytospin slides in a way that preserves the cells for subsequent cytomorphologic evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized cultures of MDA-MB-231, a breast cancer cell line, were prepared as cytospins and subjected to analysis using a Prosolia Flowprobe sampling and ionization source attached to a Thermo Scientific Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Chemical compositions were deduced with accurate mass measurements and fragmentation of high intensity peaks to further determine chemical structure. After mass spectrometry, the slides were stained and cover-slipped, and the cells were reviewed for cytomorphologic features of breast cancer. These were compared to control slides of the same cellular concentration that had not been subjected to this analysis. RESULTS Spectra from samples of all cellular concentrations demonstrated characteristic qualitative features that were discovered to represent phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylglycerols, and phosphatidylserines with fragmentation and accurate mass matching. Cytomorphologic analysis demonstrated excellent preservation of the cells subjected to the Flowprobe analysis. CONCLUSION Direct extraction, ionization, and identification of lipids is possible from cytologic preparations in such a way that the analyzed material is preserved and useful for subsequent microscopic analysis.

Abstract
Environmental fluctuations, such as salinity, impose serious challenges to marine animal survival. Neuropeptides, signaling molecules involved in the regulation process, and the dynamic changes of their full complement in the stress response have yet to be investigated. Here, a MALDI-MS-based stable isotope labeling quantitation strategy was used to investigate the relationship between neuropeptide expression and adaptability of Carcinus maenas to various salinity levels, including high (60 parts per thousand [p.p.t.]) and low (0 p.p.t.) salinity, in both the crustacean pericardial organ (PO) and brain. Moreover, a high salinity stress time course study was conducted. MS imaging (MSI) of neuropeptide localization in C. maenas PO was also performed. As a result of salinity stress, multiple neuropeptide families exhibited changes in their relative abundances, including RFamides (e.g. APQGNFLRFamide), RYamides (e.g. SSFRVGGSRYamide), B-type allatostatins (AST-B; e.g. VPNDWAHFRGSWamide), and orcokinins (e.g. NFDEIDRSSFGFV). The MSI data revealed distribution differences in several neuropeptides (e.g. SGFYANRYamide) between color morphs, but salinity stress appeared to not have a major effect on the localization of the neuropeptides.
