Abstract
The presence of numerous inhibitors in blood makes their use in nucleic acid amplification techniques difficult. Current methods for extracting and purifying pathogenic DNA from blood involve removal of inhibitors, resulting in low and inconsistent DNA recovery rates. To address this issue, a biphasic method is developed that simultaneously achieves inhibitor inactivation and DNA amplification without the need for a purification step. Inhibitors are physically trapped in the solid-phase dried blood matrix by blood drying, while amplification reagents can move into the solid nano-porous dried blood and initiate the amplification. It is demonstrated that the biphasic method has significant improvement in detection limits for bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). Several factors, such as drying time, sample volume, and material properties are characterized to increase sensitivity and expand the application of the biphasic assay to blood diagnostics. With further automation, this biphasic technique has the potential to be used as a diagnostic platform for the detection of pathogens eliminating lengthy culture steps.

Abstract
Direct analysis in real time (DART) enables direct desorption and ionization of analytes, bypassing the time-consuming chromatographic separation traditionally required for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. However, DART-MS suffers from matrix interference of complex samples, resulting in compromised detection sensitivity and quantitation accuracy. In this study, DART-MS was combined with differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) to provide an additional dimension of post-ionization ion mobility separation within a millisecond time scale, compensating for the lack of separation in DART-MS analysis. As proof-of-concept, primary aromatic amines (PAAs), a class of potentially hazardous chemicals, were analyzed in various toy products, including bubble solutions, finger paints, and plush toys. In addition to commercial Dip-it glass rod and metal mesh sampling tools, a customized rapid extractive evaporation device was designed for the accelerated extraction and sensitive analysis of solid toy samples. The incorporation of DMS in DART-MS analysis enabled the rapid separation and differentiation of isomeric analytes, leading to improved accuracy and reliability. The developed protocols were optimized and validated, achieving good linearity with correlation coefficients greater than 0.99 and acceptable repeatability with relative standard deviations less than 10%. Moreover, satisfactory sensitivity was realized with limits of detection and quantitation ranges of 0.2-5 and 1-20 μg/kg (μg/L) for the 11 PAA analytes. The established methodology was applied for the analysis of real toy samples (n = 18), which confirmed its appealing potential for toy safety screening and consumer health protection.

High-resolution ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry for isomeric separation of prostanoids after Girard's reagent T derivatization. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2023; 37:e9439.

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

Abstract
With outstanding analytical performances, mass spectrometry (MS) has shown great potential for clinical applications. To facilitate the sampling process and quantitative analysis, a capillary-in-capillary electrospray ionization (CC-ESI) source was developed in this study. Utilizing two nested capillaries as a sampler and an ESI emitter, the source enabled spontaneous liquid sampling based on the capillary phenomenon and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis. Apart from the cheap price, high portability, and disposability, the CC-ESI had merits of quantitation capability as well as adequate sensitivity. By coupling CC-ESI to a miniature mass spectrometer (mini-MS), a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 ng/mL was achieved for standard imatinib at collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem MS mode, and a LOQ of 1 ng/mL was obtained for atenolol and imatinib (with isotopic internal standard) at multiple ion reaction monitoring (MRM) modes. As two demonstrations for analysis of practical samples, rapid analysis of abused drugs on surface and quantitative analysis of therapeutic drugs in whole blood were also performed with a CC-ESI mini-MS.

Abstract
Liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) is an ambient surface sampling technique that can be coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) to analyze analytes directly from biological substrates such as tissue sections. LESA MS involves liquid microjunction sampling of a substrate by use of a discrete volume of solvent followed by nano-electrospray ionization. As the technique makes use of electrospray ionization, it lends itself to the analysis of intact proteins. Here, we describe the use of LESA MS to analyze and image the distribution of intact denatured proteins from thin fresh frozen tissue sections.

Abstract
Current methods typically used for metabolite screening and disease diagnosis often require extensive sample preparation, which increases analysis time and associated costs. While ambient ionization techniques enable the analysis of various samples in complex matrices with little or no sample preparation in a short time (typically within a minute), their reduced selectivity, even when coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometers, limits their application in certain fields. In this study, we have optimized the coupling of paper spray (PS) and leaf spray (LS) ambient ionization techniques with a commercially available ion mobility mass spectrometer (IM-MS) and demonstrated the separation of geometric and constitutional isomers. Ambient ionization techniques allow simultaneous introduction and ionization of samples, while background noise and matrix interference from paper and leaf substrates are filtered out by IM separation, resulting in high sensitivity and selectivity of the PS-IM-MS and LS-IM-MS workflows. In addition, we introduced a novel approach to perform single-field collision cross section (CCS) measurements, which resulted in CCS values that differ by 0.15% and 0.25% from traditional stepped-field and single-field methods, respectively. In addition, we used advanced computational tools to confidently identify analyte structures by comparing CCS values from experimental IM measurements and theoretical calculations. These results suggest that the coupling of ambient ionization methods with ion mobility techniques enables rapid, sensitive, and highly selective analysis that can be used in different fields, such as agrochemical screening and disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Proteomic investigations of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease have provided valuable insights into neurodegenerative disorders. Thus far, these investigations have largely been restricted to bottom-up approaches, hindering the degree to which one can characterize a protein's "intact" state. Top-down proteomics (TDP) overcomes this limitation; however, it is typically limited to observing only the most abundant proteoforms and of a relatively small size. Therefore, fractionation techniques are commonly used to reduce sample complexity. Here, we investigate gas-phase fractionation through high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) within TDP. Utilizing a high complexity sample derived from Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain tissue, we describe how the addition of FAIMS to TDP can robustly improve the depth of proteome coverage. For example, implementation of FAIMS with external compensation voltage (CV) stepping at -50, -40, and -30 CV could more than double the mean number of non-redundant proteoforms, genes, and proteome sequence coverage compared to without FAIMS. We also found that FAIMS can influence the transmission of proteoforms and their charge envelopes based on their size. Importantly, FAIMS enabled the identification of intact amyloid beta (Aβ) proteoforms, including the aggregation-prone Aβ1-42 variant which is strongly linked to AD. Raw data and associated files have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the MassIVE data repository with data set identifier PXD023607.

Abstract
Stand-alone electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been advancing through enhancements in throughput, selectivity and sensitivity of mass spectrometers. Unlike traditional MS techniques which usually require extensive offline sample preparation and chromatographic separation, many sample preparation techniques are now directly coupled with stand-alone MS to enable outstanding throughput for bioanalysis. In this review, we summarize the different sample clean-up and/or analyte enrichment strategies that can be directly coupled with ESI-MS and nano-ESI-MS for the analysis of biological fluids. The overview covers the hyphenation of different sample preparation techniques including solid phase extraction (SPE), solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), slug flow micro-extraction/nano-extraction (SFME/SFNE), liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA), extraction electrospray, extraction using digital microfluidics (DMF), and electrokinetic extraction (EkE) with ESI-MS and nano-ESI-MS.

Abstract
Nanospray desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is an ambient ionization technique that is capable of mapping proteins in tissue sections. However, high-abundant molecules or isobaric interference in biological samples hampers its broad applications in probing low-abundant proteins. To address this challenge, herein we demonstrated an integrated module that coupled pneumatic-assisted nanospray desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with high-field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry. Using this module to analyze mouse brain sections, the protein coverage was significantly increased. This improvement allowed the mapping of low-abundant proteins in tissue sections with a 5 μm spatial resolution enabled by computationally assisted fusion with optical microscopic images. Moreover, the module was successfully applied to characterize melanoma in skin tissues based on the enhanced protein profiles. The results suggested that this integrating module will be potentially applied to discover novel proteins in cancers.

Development of a target identification approach using native mass spectrometry. Sci Rep 2021; 11:2387.

Abstract
A key step in the development of new pharmaceutical drugs is the identification of the molecular target and distinguishing this from all other gene products that respond indirectly to the drug. Target identification remains a crucial process and a current bottleneck for advancing hits through the discovery pipeline. Here we report a method, that takes advantage of the specific detection of protein-ligand complexes by native mass spectrometry (MS) to probe the protein partner of a ligand in an untargeted method. The key advantage is that it uses unmodified small molecules for binding and, thereby, it does not require labelled ligands and is not limited by the chemistry required to tag the molecule. We demonstrate the use of native MS to identify known ligand-protein interactions in a protein mixture under various experimental conditions. A protein-ligand complex was successfully detected between parthenolide and thioredoxin (PfTrx) in a five-protein mixture, as well as when parthenolide was mixed in a bacterial cell lysate spiked with PfTrx. We provide preliminary data that native MS could be used to identify binding targets for any small molecule.

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

Abstract
Dried blood spots (DBS) and dried milk spots (DMS) represent convenient matrices for collecting and storing human samples. However, the use of these sample types for researching lipid metabolism remains relatively poorly explored, and especially unclear is the efficiency of lipid extraction in the context of high throughput, untargeted lipidomics. A visual inspection of punched DBSs after standard extraction suggests that the samples remain largely intact. DMSs comprise a dense aggregate of milk fat globules on one side of the card, suggesting that part of the lipid fraction may be physically inaccessible. This led us to the hypothesis that decoagulating may facilitate lipid extraction from both DBSs and DMSs. We tested this hypothesis using a mixture of strong chaeotropes (guanidine and thiourea) in both DBS and DMS in the context of high throughput lipidomics (96/384w plate). Extraction of lipids from DMSs was tested with established extractions and one novel solvent mixture in a high throughput format. We found that exposure of DBSs to chaeotropes facilitated collection of the lipid fraction but was ineffective for DMSs. The lipid fraction of DMSs was best isolated without water, using a mixture of xylene/methanol/isopropanol (1 : 2 : 4). We conclude that decoagulation is essential for efficient extraction of lipids from DBSs and that a non-aqueous procedure using a spectrum of solvents is the best procedure for extracting lipids from DMSs. These methods represent convenient steps that are compatible with the sample structure and type, and with high throughput lipidomics.

Abstract
![]()
High-field asymmetric
waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS)
enables the separation of ions on the basis of their differential
mobility in an asymmetric oscillating electric field. We, and others,
have previously demonstrated the benefits of FAIMS for the analysis
of peptides and denatured proteins. To date, FAIMS has not been integrated
with native mass spectrometry of folded proteins and protein complexes,
largely due to concerns over the heating effects associated with the
high electric fields employed. Here, we demonstrate the newly introduced
cylindrical FAIMS Pro device coupled with an Orbitrap Eclipse enables
analysis of intact protein assemblies up to 147 kDa. No evidence for
dissociation was detected suggesting that any field heating is insufficient
to disrupt the noncovalent interactions governing these assemblies.
Moreover, the FAIMS device was integrated into native liquid extraction
surface analysis (LESA) MS of protein assemblies directly from thin
tissue sections. Intact tetrameric hemoglobin (64 kDa) and trimeric
reactive intermediate deiminase A (RidA, 43 kDa) were detected. Improvements
in signal-to-noise of between 1.5× and 12× were observed
for these protein assemblies on integration of FAIMS.

Abstract
Advances in sample preparation, ion sources and mass spectrometer technology have enabled the detection and characterisation of intact proteins. The challenges associated include an appropriately soft ionisation event, efficient transmission and detection of the often delicate macromolecules. Ambient ion sources, in particular, offer a wealth of strategies for analysis of proteins from solution environments, and directly from biological substrates. The last two decades have seen rapid development in this area. Innovations include liquid extraction surface analysis, desorption electrospray ionisation and nanospray desorption electrospray ionisation. Similarly, developments in native mass spectrometry allow protein-protein and protein-ligand complexes to be ionised and analysed. Identification and characterisation of these large ions involves a suite of hyphenated mass spectrometry techniques, often including the coupling of ion mobility spectrometry and fragmentation techniques. The latter include collision, electron and photon-induced methods, each with their own characteristics and benefits for intact protein identification. In this review, recent developments for in situ protein analysis are explored, with a focus on ion sources and tandem mass spectrometry techniques used for identification.

Abstract
Direct sampling mass spectrometry (MS) has been advancing aggressively, showing immense potential in translating MS into the clinical field. Unlike traditional MS analysis involving extensive sample preparation and chromatographic separation, quick and simple procedures with minimal sample pretreatment or purification became available with direct sampling. An overview of the development in this field is provided, including some representative ambient ionization and fast extraction methods. Quantitative applications of these methods are emphasized and their efficacy are highlighted from a clinical aspect; non-quantitative applications in clinical analysis are also discussed. This review also discusses the integration of direct sampling MS with miniature mass spectrometers and its future outlook as an emerging clinical tool for point-of-care analysis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Multidrug resistance (MDR) occurs frequently and is a major challenge in tumor treatment. The lipid composition in the cell membrane and the redox balance are closely associated with the development of MDR. Liquid extraction surface analysis in combination with mass spectrometry (LESA-MS) has the characteristics of minimal sample preparation, rapid analysis, high sensitivity and high throughput, and has obtained wide applications. METHODS LESA-MS was employed to in situ determine the lipids and other specific metabolites of intact MCF-7/ADR cells (adriamycin-resistant breast cancer cells) and its parental MCF-7/S cells grown on a glass slide. In situ atomic force microscopy was used to observe the morphology of tumor cells before and after extraction. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the potential lipid biomarkers correlated with the MDR. Moreover, the cell membrane fluidity and potential were determined. RESULTS The changes in the level of the lipids were closely correlated with the multidrug resistance of MCF-7/S cells. Moreover, lower cell membrane fluidity and higher cell membrane potential were observed and thus demonstrated the changes in the cell membrane induced by multidrug resistance. Also, the ratios of GSH/GSSG, ATP/ADP and ATP/AMP were significantly higher in MCF-7/ADR cells relative to MCF-7/S cells. CONCLUSIONS Lower cell membrane fluidity and higher cell membrane potential caused by the changes in lipid compositions, enhanced anti-oxidative ability and energy generation were involved in the development of the MDR. The specific alterations identified in this study may provide more information for overcoming MDR.

Abstract
Ambient surface mass spectrometry is an emerging field which shows great promise for the analysis of biomolecules directly from their biological substrate. In this article, we describe ambient ionisation mass spectrometry techniques for the in situ analysis of intact proteins. As a broad approach, the analysis of intact proteins offers unique advantages for the determination of primary sequence variations and posttranslational modifications, as well as interrogation of tertiary and quaternary structure and protein-protein/ligand interactions. In situ analysis of intact proteins offers the potential to couple these advantages with information relating to their biological environment, for example, their spatial distributions within healthy and diseased tissues. Here, we describe the techniques most commonly applied to in situ protein analysis (liquid extraction surface analysis, continuous flow liquid microjunction surface sampling, nano desorption electrospray ionisation, and desorption electrospray ionisation), their advantages, and limitations and describe their applications to date. We also discuss the incorporation of ion mobility spectrometry techniques (high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry and travelling wave ion mobility spectrometry) into ambient workflows. Finally, future directions for the field are discussed.

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

Abstract
Miniaturized mass spectrometry (MMS) is optimal for a wide variety of applications that benefit from field-portable instrumentation. Like MMS, field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has proven capable of providing in situ analysis, allowing researchers to bring the lab to the sample. FAIMS compliments MMS very well, but has the added benefit of operating at atmospheric pressure, unlike MS. This distinct advantage makes FAIMS uniquely suited for portability. Since its inception, FAIMS has been envisioned as a field-portable device, as it affords less expense and greater simplicity than many similar methods. Ideally, these are simple, robust devices that may be operated by non-professional personnel, yet still provide adequate data when in the field. While reducing the size and complexity tends to bring with it a loss of performance and accuracy, this is made up for by the incredibly high throughput and overall convenience of the instrument. Moreover, the FAIMS device used in the field can be brought back to the lab, and coupled to a conventional mass spectrometer to provide any necessary method development and compound validation. This work discusses the various considerations, uses, and applications for portable FAIMS instrumentation, and how the future of each applicable field may benefit from the development and acceptance of such a device.

Abstract
We have previously shown that liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique suitable for the top-down analysis of proteins directly from intact colonies of the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli K-12. Here we extend the application of LESA MS to Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa PS1054 and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus MSSA476, as well as two strains of E. coli (K-12 and BL21 mCherry) and an unknown species of Staphylococcus. Moreover, we demonstrate the discrimination between three species of Gram-positive Streptococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae D39, and the viridans group Streptococcus oralis ATCC 35037 and Streptococcus gordonii ATCC35105), a recognized challenge for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS. A range of the proteins detected were selected for top-down LESA MS/MS. Thirty-nine proteins were identified by top-down LESA MS/MS, including 16 proteins that have not previously been observed by any other technique. The potential of LESA MS for classification and characterization of novel species is illustrated by the de novo sequencing of a new protein from the unknown species of Staphylococcus.

Abstract
Ambient ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been increasingly used to investigate the molecular distribution of biological tissue samples. Here, we report the integration and optimization of desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and liquid-microjunction surface sampling probe (LMJ-SSP) with a chip-based high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) device to image metabolites, lipids, and proteins in biological tissue samples. Optimized FAIMS parameters for specific molecular classes enabled semitargeted detection of multiply charged molecular species at enhanced signal-to-noise ratios (S/N), improved visualization of spatial distributions, and, most importantly, allowed detection of species which were unseen by ambient ionization MSI alone. Under static DESI-FAIMS conditions selected for transmission of doubly charged cardiolipins (CL), for example, detection of 71 different CL species was achieved in rat brain, 23 of which were not observed by DESI alone. Diagnostic CL were imaged in a human thyroid tumor sample with reduced interference of isobaric species. LMJ-SSP-FAIMS enabled detection of 84 multiply charged protein ions in rat brain tissue, 66 of which were exclusive to this approach. Spatial visualization of proteins in substructures of rat brain, and in human ovarian cancerous, necrotic, and normal tissues was achieved. Our results indicate that integration of FAIMS with ambient ionization MS allows improved detection and imaging of selected molecular species. We show that this methodology is valuable in biomedical applications of MSI for detection of multiply charged lipids and proteins from biological tissues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cellular metabolism is altered during cancer initiation and progression, which allows cancer cells to increase anabolic synthesis, avoid apoptosis and adapt to low nutrient and oxygen availability. The metabolic nature of cancer enables patient cancer status to be monitored by metabolomics and lipidomics. Additionally, monitoring metabolic status of patients or biological models can be used to greater understand the action of anticancer therapeutics. OBJECTIVES Discuss how metabolomics and lipidomics can be used to (i) identify metabolic biomarkers of cancer and (ii) understand the mechanism-of-action of anticancer therapies. Discuss considerations that can maximize the clinical value of metabolic cancer biomarkers including case-control, prognostic and longitudinal study designs. METHODS A literature search of the current relevant primary research was performed. RESULTS Metabolomics and lipidomics can identify metabolic signatures that associate with cancer diagnosis, prognosis and disease progression. Discriminatory metabolites were most commonly linked to lipid or energy metabolism. Case-control studies outnumbered prognostic and longitudinal approaches. Prognostic studies were able to correlate metabolic features with future cancer risk, whereas longitudinal studies were most effective for studying cancer progression. Metabolomics and lipidomics can help to understand the mechanism-of-action of anticancer therapeutics and mechanisms of drug resistance. CONCLUSION Metabolomics and lipidomics can be used to identify biomarkers associated with cancer and to better understand anticancer therapies.

Abstract
MYC-mediated pathogenesis in lung cancer continues to attract interest for new therapeutic strategies. In this study, we describe a transgenic mouse model of KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma that affords reversible activation of MYC, used here as a tool for lipidomic profiling of MYC-dependent lung tumors formed in this model. Advanced mass spectrometric imaging and surface analysis techniques were used to characterize the spatial and temporal changes in lipid composition in lung tissue. We found that normal lung tissue was characterized predominantly by saturated phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylglycerols, which are major lipid components of pulmonary surfactant. In contrast, tumor tissues displayed an increase in phosphatidylinositols and arachidonate-containing phospholipids that can serve as signaling precursors. Deactivating MYC resulted in a rapid and dramatic decrease in arachidonic acid and its eicosanoid metabolites. In tumors with high levels of MYC, we found an increase in cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity with a preferential release of membrane-bound arachidonic acid, stimulating the lipoxygenase (LOX) and COX pathways also amplified by MYC at the level of gene expression. Deactivating MYC lowered cPLA2 activity along with COX2 and 5-LOX mRNA levels. Notably, inhibiting the COX/5-LOX pathways in vivo reduced tumor burden in a manner associated with reduced cell proliferation. Taken together, our results show how MYC drives the production of specific eicosanoids critical for lung cancer cell survival and proliferation, with possible implications for the use of COX and LOX pathway inhibitors for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
High field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), also known as differential ion mobility spectrometry, is emerging as a tool for biomolecular analysis. In this article, the benefits and limitations of FAIMS for protein analysis are discussed. The principles and mechanisms of FAIMS separation of ions are described, and the differences between FAIMS and conventional ion mobility spectrometry are detailed. Protein analysis is considered from both the top-down (intact proteins) and the bottom-up (proteolytic peptides) perspective. The roles of FAIMS in the analysis of complex mixtures of multiple intact proteins and in the analysis of multiple conformers of a single protein are assessed. Similarly, the application of FAIMS in proteomics and targeted analysis of peptides are considered.
