Region of Interest analysis using mass spectrometry imaging of mitochondrial and sarcomeric proteins in acute cardiac infarction tissue.

ABSTRACT: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization image mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) has been developed for the identification of peptides in various tissues. The MALDI-IMS signal distribution patterns and quantification of the signal intensities of the regions of interest (ROI) with healthy regions were compared for identification of the disease specific biomarkers. We performed a new ROI analysis using the conventional t-test and data number independent Cohen's d-value analysis. Using these techniques, we analysed heart tissues after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). As a result, IMS signals of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate synthase alpha subunit (ATP5A), myosin-6/7(MYH6/7), aortic actin, and the myosin light chain 3 (MYL3) were identified in the infarcted region. In particular, the s
