Super-Resolution Reconstruction for Two- and Three-Dimensional LA-ICP-MS Bioimaging.

ABSTRACT: The resolution of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) elemental bioimaging is usually constrained by the diameter of the laser spot size and is often not adequate to explore in situ subcellular distributions of elements and proteins in biological tissue sections. Super-resolution reconstruction is a method typically used for many imaging modalities and combines multiple lower resolution images to create a higher resolution image. Here, we present a super-resolution reconstruction method for LA-ICP-MS imaging by ablating consecutive layers of a biological specimen with offset orthogonal scans, resulting in a 10× improvement in resolution for quantitative measurement of dystrophin in murine muscle fibers. Layer-by-layer image reconstruction was also extended to the third dimension without the requirement of image registration across multiple thin section specimens. Quantitative super-resolution reconstruction, combined with Gaussian filtering and application of the Richardson-Lucy total variation algorithm, provided superior image clarity and fidelity in two- and three-dimensions.

Project description:The selection of drug candidates for entering clinical development relies on in vivo testing in (solid) tumor animal models. However, the heterogeneity of tumor tissue (e.g. in terms of drug uptake or tissue composition) is rarely considered when testing novel drug candidates. Therefore, we used the murine colon cancer CT-26 tumor model to study the spatially-resolved drug distribution in tumor tissue upon repetitive treatment of animals over two weeks with three investigational platinum(IV)-based anticancer agents, oxaliplatin or satraplatin. A quantitative laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) imaging method revealed a heterogeneous platinum distribution, which correlated well with the histologic features of the tumor and surrounding tissue at the microscopic level. In most of the cases, higher amounts of intratumoral platinum were found in the surrounding tissue than in the malignant parts of the sample. This indicates that determination of average platinum amounts (e.g. by microwave-assisted digestion of the sample followed by analysis with ICP-MS) might overestimate the drug uptake in tumor tissue causing misleading conclusions. In addition, we studied the platinum distribution in the kidneys of treated animals to probe if accumulation in the cortex and medulla predict potential nephrotoxicity. A 10-fold increase of platinum in the cortex of the kidney over the medulla was observed for oxaliplatin and satraplatin. Although these findings are similar to those in the platinum distribution of the nephrotoxic anticancer drug cisplatin, treatment with the compounds of our study did not show signs of nephrotoxicity in clinical use or clinical trials (oxaliplatin, satraplatin) and did not result in the alteration of renal structures. Thus, predicting the side effects based on bioimaging data by LA-ICP-MS should be considered with caution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first LA-ICP-MS study on spatially-resolved platinum accumulation in tissues after repetitive platinum-based anticancer drug treatment of mice bearing a preclinical tumor model.
