Epithelial ovarian carcinoma diagnosis by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is highly prevalent among European women, and is the leading cause of gynaecological cancer death. Current histopathological diagnoses of tumour severity are based on interpretation of, for example, immunohistochemical staining. Desorption electrospray mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) generates spatially resolved metabolic profiles of tissues and supports an objective investigation of tumour biology. In this study, various ovarian tissue types were analysed by DESI-MSI and co-registered with their corresponding haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained images. The mass spectral data reveal tissue type-dependent lipid profiles which are consistent across the n = 110 samples (n = 107 patients) used in this study. Multivariate statistical methods were used to classify samples and identify molecular features discriminating between tissue types. Three main groups of samples (epithelial ovarian carcinoma, borderline ovarian tumours, normal ovarian stroma) were compared as were the carcinoma histotypes (serous, endometrioid, clear cell). Classification rates >84% were achieved for all analyses, and variables differing statistically between groups were determined and putatively identified. The changes noted in various lipid types help to provide a context in terms of tumour biochemistry. The classification of unseen samples demonstrates the capability of DESI-MSI to characterise ovarian samples and to overcome existing limitations in classical histopathology.

Multicenter Study Using Desorption-Electrospray-Ionization-Mass-Spectrometry Imaging for Breast-Cancer Diagnosis.

Project description:The histological and molecular subtypes of breast cancer demand distinct therapeutic approaches. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is subtyped according to estrogen-receptor (ER), progesterone-receptor (PR), and HER2 status, among other markers. Desorption-electrospray-ionization-mass-spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) is an ambient-ionization MS technique that has been previously used to diagnose IDC. Aiming to investigate the robustness of ambient-ionization MS for IDC diagnosis and subtyping over diverse patient populations and interlaboratory use, we report a multicenter study using DESI-MSI to analyze samples from 103 patients independently analyzed in the United States and Brazil. The lipid profiles of IDC and normal breast tissues were consistent across different patient races and were unrelated to country of sample collection. Similar experimental parameters used in both laboratories yielded consistent mass-spectral data in mass-to-charge ratios ( m/ z) above 700, where complex lipids are observed. Statistical classifiers built using data acquired in the United States yielded 97.6% sensitivity, 96.7% specificity, and 97.6% accuracy for cancer diagnosis. Equivalent performance was observed for the intralaboratory validation set (99.2% accuracy) and, most remarkably, for the interlaboratory validation set independently acquired in Brazil (95.3% accuracy). Separate classification models built for ER and PR statuses as well as the status of their combined hormone receptor (HR) provided predictive accuracies (>89.0%), although low classification accuracies were achieved for HER2 status. Altogether, our multicenter study demonstrates that DESI-MSI is a robust and reproducible technology for rapid breast-cancer-tissue diagnosis and therefore is of value for clinical use.

Tissue imaging using nanospray desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Project description:Ambient ionization imaging mass spectrometry is uniquely suited for detailed spatially resolved chemical characterization of biological samples in their native environment. However, the spatial resolution attainable using existing approaches is limited by the ion transfer efficiency from the ionization region into the mass spectrometer. Here, we present a first study of ambient imaging of biological samples using nanospray desorption ionization (nano-DESI). Nano-DESI is a new ambient pressure ionization technique that uses minute amounts of solvent confined between two capillaries comprising the nano-DESI probe and the solid analyte for controlled desorption of molecules present on the substrate followed by ionization through self-aspirating nanospray. We demonstrate highly sensitive spatially resolved analysis of tissue samples without sample preparation. Our first proof-of-principle experiments indicate the potential of nano-DESI for ambient imaging with a spatial resolution of better than 12 μm. The significant improvement of the spatial resolution offered by nano-DESI imaging combined with high detection efficiency will enable new imaging mass spectrometry applications in clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, molecular biology, and biochemistry.

Desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry of proteins.

Project description:Desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) was evaluated for the detection of proteins ranging in molecular mass from 12 to 66 kDa. Proteins were uniformly deposited on a solid surface without pretreatment and analyzed with a DESI source coupled to a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. DESI-MS parameters optimized for protein detection included solvent flow rate, temperature of heated capillary tube, incident and reflection angle, sheath gas pressure, and ESI voltage. Detection limits were obtained for all protein standards, and they were found to decrease with decreasing protein molecular mass: for cytochrome c (12.3 kDa) and lysozyme (14.3 kDa) a detection limit of 4 ng/mm2 was obtained; for apomyoglobin (16.9 kDa) 20 ng/mm2; for beta-lactoglobulin B (18.2 kDa) 50 ng/mm2; and for chymotrypsinogen A (25.6 kDa) 100 ng/mm2. The DESI-MS analysis of higher molecular mass proteins such as ovalbumin (44.4 kDa) and bovine serum albumin (66.4 kDa) yielded mass spectra of low signal-to-noise ratio, making their detection and molecular weight determination difficult. In this study, DESI-MS proved to be a rapid and robust method for accurate MW determination for proteins up to 17 kDa under ambient conditions. Finally, we demonstrated the DESI-MS detection of the bacteriophage MS2 capsid protein from crude samples with minimal sample preparation.

Feasibility of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for diagnosis of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:RationaleDesorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) has demonstrated utility in differentiating tumor from adjacent normal tissue in both urologic and neurosurgical specimens. We sought to evaluate if this technique had similar accuracy in differentiating oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from adjacent normal epithelium due to current issues with late diagnosis of SCC in advanced stages.MethodsFresh frozen samples of SCC and adjacent normal tissue were obtained by surgical resection. Resections were analyzed using DESI-MS sometimes by a blinded technologist. Normative spectra were obtained for separate regions containing SCC or adjacent normal epithelium. Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA-LDA) of spectra were used to predict SCC versus normal tongue epithelium. Predictions were compared with pathology to assess accuracy in differentiating oral SCC from adjacent normal tissue.ResultsInitial PCA score and loading plots showed clear separation of SCC and normal epithelial tissue using DESI-MS. PCA-LDA resulted in accuracy rates of 95% for SCC versus normal and 93% for SCC, adjacent normal and normal. Additional samples were blindly analyzed with PCA-LDA pixel-by-pixel predicted classifications as SCC or normal tongue epithelial tissue and compared against histopathology. The m/z 700-900 prediction model showed a 91% accuracy rate.ConclusionsDESI-MS accurately differentiated oral SCC from adjacent normal epithelium. Classification of all typical tissue types and pixel predictions with additional classifications should increase confidence in the validation model.

Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry: Imaging drugs and metabolites in tissues.

Project description:Ambient ionization methods for MS enable direct, high-throughput measurements of samples in the open air. Here, we report on one such method, desorption electrospray ionization (DESI), which is coupled to a linear ion trap mass spectrometer and used to record the spatial intensity distribution of a drug directly from histological sections of brain, lung, kidney, and testis without prior chemical treatment. DESI imaging provided identification and distribution of clozapine after an oral dose of 50 mg/kg by: i) measuring the abundance of the intact ion at m/z 327.1, and ii) monitoring the dissociation of the protonated drug compound at m/z 327.1 to its dominant product ion at m/z 270.1. In lung tissues, DESI imaging was performed in the full-scan mode over an m/z range of 200-1100, providing an opportunity for relative quantitation by using an endogenous lipid to normalize the signal response of clozapine. The presence of clozapine was detected in all tissue types, whereas the presence of the N-desmethyl metabolite was detected only in the lung sections. Quantitation of clozapine from the brain, lung, kidney, and testis, by using LC-MS/MS, revealed concentrations ranging from 0.05 microg/g (brain) to a high of 10.6 microg/g (lung). Comparisons of the results recorded by DESI with those by LC-MS/MS show good agreement and are favorable for the use of DESI imaging in drug and metabolite detection directly from biological tissues.

Molecular Imaging of Endometriosis Tissues using Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Endometriosis is a pathologic condition affecting approximately 10% of women in their reproductive years. Characterized by abnormal growth of uterine endometrial tissue in other body areas, endometriosis can cause severe abdominal pain and/or infertility. Despite devastating consequences to patients' quality of life, the causes of endometriosis are not fully understood and validated diagnostic markers for endometriosis have not been identified. Molecular analyses of ectopic and eutopic endometrial tissues could lead to enhanced understanding of the disease. Here, we apply desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry (MS) imaging to chemically and spatially characterize the molecular profiles of 231 eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues from 89 endometriosis patients. DESI-MS imaging allowed clear visualization of endometrial glandular and stromal regions within tissue samples. Statistical models built from DESI-MS imaging data allowed classification of endometriosis lesions with overall accuracies of 89.4%, 98.4%, and 98.8% on training, validation, and test sample sets, respectively. Further, molecular markers that are significantly altered in ectopic endometrial tissues when compared to eutopic tissues were identified, including fatty acids and glycerophosphoserines. Our study showcases the value of MS imaging to investigate the molecular composition of endometriosis lesions and pinpoints metabolic markers that may provide new knowledge on disease pathogenesis.

Mass recalibration for desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging using endogenous reference ions.

Project description:BackgroundMass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data often consist of tens of thousands of mass spectra collected from a sample surface. During the time necessary to perform a single acquisition, it is likely that uncontrollable factors alter the validity of the initial mass calibration of the instrument, resulting in mass errors of magnitude significantly larger than their theoretical values. This phenomenon has a two-fold detrimental effect: (a) it reduces the ability to interpret the results based on the observed signals, (b) it can affect the quality of the observed signal spatial distributions.ResultsWe present a post-acquisition computational method capable of reducing the observed mass drift by up to 60 ppm in biological samples, exploiting the presence of typical molecules with a known mass-to-charge ratio. The procedure, tested on time-of-flight and Orbitrap mass spectrometry analyzers interfaced to a desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) source, improves the molecular annotation quality and the spatial distributions of the detected ions.ConclusionThe presented method represents a robust and accurate tool for performing post-acquisition mass recalibration of DESI-MSI datasets and can help to increase the reliability of the molecular assignment and the data quality.

Imaging regiospecific lipid turnover in mouse brain with desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Project description:Compartmentalization of metabolism into specific regions of the cell, tissue, and organ is critical to life for all organisms. Mass spectrometric imaging techniques have been valuable in identifying and quantifying concentrations of metabolites in specific locations of cells and tissues, but a true understanding of metabolism requires measurement of metabolite flux on a spatially resolved basis. Here, we utilize desorption ESI-MS (DESI-MS) to measure lipid turnover in the brains of mice. We show that anatomically distinct regions of the brain have distinct lipid turnover rates. These turnover measurements, in conjunction with relative concentration, will enable calculation of regiospecific synthesis rates for individual lipid species in vivo. Monitoring spatially dependent changes in metabolism has the potential to significantly facilitate research in many areas, such as brain development, cancer, and neurodegeneration.

Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Proteins Directly from Biological Tissue Sections.

Project description:Analysis of large biomolecules including proteins has proven challenging using ambient ionization mass spectrometry imaging techniques. Here, we have successfully optimized desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) to detect intact proteins directly from tissue sections and further integrated DESI-MS to a high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility (FAIMS) device for protein imaging. Optimized DESI-FAIMS-MS parameters were used to image mouse kidney, mouse brain, and human ovarian and breast tissue samples, allowing detection of 11, 16, 14, and 16 proteoforms, respectively. Identification of protein species detected by DESI-MS was performed on-tissue by top-down ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) and collision induced dissociation (CID) as well as using tissue extracts by bottom-up CID and top-down UVPD. Our results demonstrate that DESI-MS imaging is suitable for the analysis of the distribution of proteins within biological tissue sections.

Three-Dimensional Imaging with Infrared Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Mass spectrometry imaging as a field has pushed its frontiers to three dimensions. Most three-dimensional mass spectrometry imaging (3D MSI) approaches require serial sectioning that results in a loss of biological information between analyzed slices and difficulty in reconstruction of 3D images. In this contribution, infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (IR-MALDESI) was demonstrated to be applicable for 3D MSI that does not require sectioning because IR laser ablates material on a micrometer scale. A commercially available over-the-counter pharmaceutical was used as a model to demonstrate the feasibility of IR-MALDESI for 3D MSI. Depth resolution (i.e., z-resolution) as a function of laser energy levels and density of ablated material was investigated. The best achievable depth resolution from a pill was 2.3 μm at 0.3 mJ/pulse. 2D and 3D MSI were performed on the tablet to show the distribution of pill-specific molecules. A 3D MSI analysis on a region of interest of 15 × 15 voxels across 50 layers was performed. Our results demonstrate that IR-MALDESI is feasible with 3D MSI on a pill, and future work will be focused on analyses of biological tissues.
