The Study of Derivatization Prior MALDI MSI Analysis-Charge Tagging Based on the Cholesterol and Betaine Aldehyde.

ABSTRACT: Mass spectrometry imaging is a powerful tool for analyzing the different kinds of molecules in tissue sections, but some substances cannot be measured easily, due to their physicochemical properties. In such cases, chemical derivatization could be applied to introduce the charge into the molecule and facilitate its detection. Here, we study cholesterol derivatization with betaine aldehyde from tissue slices and evaluate how different sample preparation methods influence the signal from the derivatization product. In this study, we have tested different solutions for betaine aldehyde, different approaches to betaine aldehyde deposition (number of layers, deposition nozzle height), and different MALDI matrices for its analysis. As a result, we proved that the proposed approach could be used for the analysis of cholesterol in different tissues.

On-Tissue Derivatization of Lipopolysaccharide for Detection of Lipid A Using MALDI-MSI.

Project description:We developed a method to directly detect and map the Gram-negative bacterial virulence factor lipid A derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by coupling acid hydrolysis with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). As the structure of lipid A (endotoxin) determines the innate immune outcome during infection, the ability to map its location within an infected organ or animal is needed to understand localized inflammatory responses that results during host-pathogen interactions. We previously demonstrated detection of free lipid A from infected tissue; however detection of lipid A derived from intact (smooth) LPS from host-pathogen MSI studies, proved elusive. Here, we detected LPS-derived lipid A from the Gram-negative pathogens, Escherichia coli (Ec, m/z 1797) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa, m/z 1446) using on-tissue acid hydrolysis to cleave the glycosidic linkage between the polysaccharide (core and O-antigen) and lipid A moieties of LPS. Using accurate mass methods, the ion corresponding to the major Ec and Pa lipid A species (m/z 1797 and 1446, respectively) were unambiguously discriminated from complex tissue substrates. Further, we evaluated potential delocalization and signal loss of other tissue lipids and found no evidence for either, making this LPS-to-Lipid A-MSI (LLA-MSI) method, compatible with simultaneous host-pathogen lipid imaging following acid hydrolysis. This spatially sensitive technique is the first step in mapping host-influenced de novo lipid A modifications, such as those associated with antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, during Gram-negative bacterial infection and will advance our understanding of the host-pathogen interface.

MALDI mass spectrometry analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms by photocleavage and charge-tagging.

Project description:High-throughput procedures are an important requirement for future large-scale genetic studies such as genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has revolutionised the analysis of biomolecules and, in particular, provides a very attractive solution for the rapid typing of DNA. The analysis of DNA by MALDI can be significantly facilitated by a procedure termed 'charge-tagging'. We show here a novel approach for the generation of charge-tagged DNA using a photocleavable linker and its implementation in a molecular biological procedure for SNP genotyping consisting of PCR, primer extension, photocleavage and a chemical reaction prior to MALDI target preparation and analysis. The reaction sequence is amenable to liquid handling automation and requires no stringent purification procedures. We demonstrate this new method on SNPs in two genes involved in complex traits.

On-Tissue Chemical Derivatization for Comprehensive Mapping of Brain Carboxyl and Aldehyde Metabolites by MALDI-MS Imaging.

Project description:The visualization of small metabolites by MALDI mass spectrometry imaging in brain tissue sections is challenging due to low detection sensitivity and high background interference. We present an on-tissue chemical derivatization MALDI mass spectrometry imaging approach for the comprehensive mapping of carboxyls and aldehydes in brain tissue sections. In this approach, the AMPP (1-(4-(aminomethyl)phenyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride) derivatization reagent is used for the covalent charge-tagging of molecules containing carboxylic acid (in the presence of peptide coupling reagents) and aldehydes. This includes free fatty acids and the associated metabolites, fatty aldehydes, dipeptides, neurotoxic reactive aldehydes, amino acids, neurotransmitters and associated metabolites, as well as tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites. We performed sensitive ultrahigh mass resolution MALDI-MS detection and imaging of various carboxyl- and aldehyde-containing endogenous metabolites simultaneously in rodent brain tissue sections. We verified the AMPP-derivatized metabolites by tandem MS for structural elucidation. This approach allowed us to image numerous aldehydes and carboxyls, including certain metabolites which had been undetectable in brain tissue sections. We also demonstrated the application of on-tissue derivatization to carboxyls and aldehydes in coronal brain tissue sections of a nonhuman primate Parkinson's disease model. Our methodology provides a powerful tool for the sensitive, simultaneous spatial molecular imaging of numerous aldehydes and carboxylic acids during pathological states, including neurodegeneration, in brain tissue.

Spray-Based Application of Matrix to Agar-Based Microbial Samples for Reproducible Sample Adherence in MALDI MSI.

Project description:Microbial mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool used to generate biological hypotheses about the roles of metabolites in microbial competition based upon their two-dimensional spatial distribution. The most commonly used ionization method for microbial MSI is matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). However, medium components and microbial metabolites influence the adhesion of agar samples to the MALDI target, limiting the applicability of MALDI MSI to microbes grown on specific media. Here, we describe a three-step process using a robotic sprayer for a matrix application that improves the adherence of agar samples to the MALDI target, enabling the use of different media for microbial growth and an MSI analysis of larger sample surface areas.

Thiyl Radical-Based Charge Tagging Enables Sterol Quantitation via Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Inspired by the high reactivity and specificity of thiyl radicals toward alkenes, we have developed a new charge derivatization method to enable fast and quantitative analysis of sterols via electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Thioglycolic acid (TGA), a commercially available compound, has been established as a highly efficient tagging reagent. Initiated from photochemical reactions, the thiyl radical derived from TGA abstracts an allylic hydrogen in the B ring of sterols, forming a radical intermediate which rapidly recombines with a second thiyl radical to produce the final tagged product. Because of the incorporation of a carboxylic acid group, TGA tagging not only improves the limit of detection (sub-nM) for sterols but also facilitates their quantitation via characteristic 44 Da neutral loss scan. This radical based derivatization is fast (1 min) and efficient (>90% yield) when conducted in a flow microreactor. The analytical utility of thiyl radical charge tagging method has been demonstrated by quantifying sterols from human plasma and vegetable oil.

Crystal structure of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase from Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei infection causes melioidosis, which is often fatal if untreated. There is a need to develop new and more effective treatments for melioidosis. This study reports apo and cofactor-bound crystal structures of the potential drug target betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) from B. pseudomallei. A structural comparison identified similarities to BADH from Pseudomonas aeruginosa which is inhibited by the drug disulfiram. This preliminary analysis could facilitate drug-repurposing studies for B. pseudomallei.

Structure-based mutational studies of substrate inhibition of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase BetB from Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:Inhibition of enzyme activity by high concentrations of substrate and/or cofactor is a general phenomenon demonstrated in many enzymes, including aldehyde dehydrogenases. Here we show that the uncharacterized protein BetB (SA2613) from Staphylococcus aureus is a highly specific betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, which exhibits substrate inhibition at concentrations of betaine aldehyde as low as 0.15 mM. In contrast, the aldehyde dehydrogenase YdcW from Escherichia coli, which is also active against betaine aldehyde, shows no inhibition by this substrate. Using the crystal structures of BetB and YdcW, we performed a structure-based mutational analysis of BetB and introduced the YdcW residues into the BetB active site. From a total of 32 mutations, those in five residues located in the substrate binding pocket (Val288, Ser290, His448, Tyr450, and Trp456) greatly reduced the substrate inhibition of BetB, whereas the double mutant protein H448F/Y450L demonstrated a complete loss of substrate inhibition. Substrate inhibition was also reduced by mutations of the semiconserved Gly234 (to Ser, Thr, or Ala) located in the BetB NAD(+) binding site, suggesting some cooperativity between the cofactor and substrate binding sites. Substrate docking analysis of the BetB and YdcW active sites revealed that the wild-type BetB can bind betaine aldehyde in both productive and nonproductive conformations, whereas only the productive binding mode can be modeled in the active sites of YdcW and the BetB mutant proteins with reduced substrate inhibition. Thus, our results suggest that the molecular mechanism of substrate inhibition of BetB is associated with the nonproductive binding of betaine aldehyde.

High-throughput MALDI-MSI metabolite analysis of plant tissue microarrays.

Project description:A novel metabolomics analysis technique, termed matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging-based plant tissue microarray (MALDI-MSI-PTMA), was successfully developed for high-throughput metabolite detection and imaging from plant tissues. This technique completely overcomes the disadvantage that metabolites cannot be accessible on an intact plant tissue due to the limitations of the special structures of plant cells (e.g. epicuticular wax, cuticle and cell wall) through homogenization of plant tissues, preparation of PTMA moulds and matrix spraying of PTMA sections. Our study shows several properties of MALDI-MSI-PTMA, including no need of sample separation and enrichment, high-throughput metabolite detection and imaging (>1000 samples per day), high-stability mass spectrometry data acquisition and imaging reconstruction and high reproducibility of data. This novel technique was successfully used to quickly evaluate the effects of two plant growth regulator treatments (i.e. 6-benzylaminopurine and N-phenyl-N'-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea) on endogenous metabolite expression in plant tissue culture specimens of Dracocephalum rupestre Hance (D. rupestre). Intra-day and inter-day evaluations indicated that the metabolite data detected on PTMA sections had good reproducibility and stability. A total of 312 metabolite ion signals in leaves tissues of D. rupestre were detected, of which 228 metabolite ion signals were identified, they were composed of 122 primary metabolites, 90 secondary metabolites and 16 identified metabolites of unknown classification. The results demonstrated the advantages of MALDI-MSI-PTMA technique for enhancing the overall detection ability of metabolites in plant tissues, indicating that MALDI-MSI-PTMA has the potential to become a powerful routine practice for high-throughput metabolite study in plant science.
