Project description:Glycans binding on the cell surface through glycosylation play a key role in controlling various cellular processes, and glycan analysis at a single-cell level is necessary to study cellular heterogeneity and diagnose diseases in the early stage. Herein, we synthesized a series of laser cleavable probes, which could sensitively detect glycans on single cells and tissues by laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). This multiplexed and quantitative glycan detection was applied to evaluate the alterations of four types of glycans on breast cancer cells and drug-resistant cancer cells at a single-cell level, indicating that drug resistance may be related to the upregulation of glycan with a β-d-galactoside (Galβ) group and Neu5Aca2-6Gal(NAc)-R. Moreover, the glycan spatial distribution in cancerous and paracancerous human tissues was also demonstrated by MS imaging, showing that glycans are overexpressed in cancerous tissues. Therefore, this single-cell MS approach exhibits promise for application in studying glycan functions which are essential for clinical biomarker discovery and diagnosis of related diseases.

Project description:In situ analysis of glycans is of great significance since they mediate a range of biological activities. Aberrant changes of glycosylation are closely related to cancer onset and progression. In this work, bifunctional laser cleavable mass probes (LCMPs) were developed for in situ glycan detection from both cells and tissues using laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). Specific recognition of glycans was achieved by lectins, and inherent signal amplification was achieved by the conversion of the detection of glycans to that of mass tags which overcame the low ionization efficiency and complicated mass spectra of glycans. Multiplexed glycan profiling was easy to implement due to the simple and generic synthetic route to LCMPs and serial alternative mass tags, which offers high sensitivity, low interference and in situ detection of glycans. Moreover, as an excellent inherent matrix, LCMPs facilitated direct glycan detection from the cell surface and tissue imaging using LDI-MS. Intrinsic and fine glycan distribution in human cancer and paracancerous tissues was strictly demonstrated by MS imaging to explore the correlation between glycosylation and various cancers. This approach presented a versatile LDI-MS based platform for fast and in situ multiplexed glycan engineering, thus providing a new perspective in glycobiology and clinical diagnosis.

Project description:Protein lipoylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) of great significance as the lipoylation sites have essential effects on the enzymatic activities of several protein complexes, which affect the biological metabolic pathways and are further related to some diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. While proteomic identification of lipoylated proteins has been studied, in situ profiling of protein lipoylation with high sensitivity remains challenging. Herein, we developed a strategy for in situ analysis of protein lipoylation by laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). In this study, a chemoselective butyraldehyde probe (BAP) was used to label the lipoylated proteins, and then linked with laser cleavable probe modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through click chemistry. Triphenylmethyl mercaptan was used as mass tags (MTs) for the tertiary carbocations released under laser (355 nm) irradiation, which reflected the presence of protein lipoylation. Based on this strategy, a relative quantitative analysis of protein lipoylation on different cell lines was performed, and the distribution of lipoylated proteins in tissues was revealed by MS imaging (MSI). This novel approach used chemical modification to achieve signal amplification and overcome the low ionization efficiency and complicated mass spectra of standard protein analysis. This approach exhibits promise for uncovering biological processes and application in the diagnosis of related diseases.

Project description:A novel functional imaging mass spectrometry technology is described that utilizes activity-based probes for imaging enzyme active sites in tissue sections. We demonstrate this technology using an activity-based probe (fluorophosphate) that is specific for serine hydrolases. A dendrimer containing multiple mass tags that is attached to the activity-based probe is used to analyze the binding sites of the probe through release and measurement of the mass tags on laser irradiation. A generation 8 poly(amido amine) dendrimer with 1024 amino groups was labeled with an azide group, and then, more than 900 mass tags were attached in order to achieve signal amplification of nearly 3 orders of magnitude. The experimental protocol first involves binding of the activity-based probe containing an alkyne group to serine hydrolases in the tissue section followed by attachment of the dendrimer labeled with mass tags to the bound probe by Click chemistry. On irradiation of the labeled tissue by the laser beam in a raster pattern, the mass tags are liberated and recorded by the mass analyzer; consequently, the ion image of the mass tag reveals the distribution of serine hydrolases in the tissue. This process was shown using rat brain and mouse embryo sections. Targeted imaging has the advantage of providing high spatial resolution and high sensitivity through the use of signal amplification chemistry with high target specificity through the use of an enzyme activity probe.

Project description:Imaging of nanomaterials in biological tissues provides vital information for the development of nanotherapeutics and diagnostics. Multiplexed imaging of different nanoparticles (NPs) greatly reduces costs, the need to use multiple animals, and increases the biodistribution information that can enhance diagnostic applications and accelerate the screening of potential therapeutics. Various approaches have been developed for imaging NPs; however, the readout of existing imaging techniques relies on specific properties of the core material or surface ligands, and these techniques are limited because of the relatively small number of NPs that can be simultaneously measured in a single experiment. Here, we demonstrate the use of laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) in an imaging format to investigate surface chemistry dictated intraorgan distribution of NPs. This new LDI-MS imaging method enables multiplexed imaging of NPs with potentially unlimited readouts and without additional labeling of the NPs. It provides the capability to detect and image attomole levels of NPs with almost no interferences from biomolecules. Using this new imaging approach, we find that the intraorgan distributions of same-sized NPs are directly linked to their surface chemistry.

Project description:Glycans are crucial for many key biological processes and their alterations are often a hallmark of disease. Thus, multiplexed and sensitive analysis of glycans is of intense interest. Here we report a novel approach using DNA-mediated cell surface engineering for glycan profiling by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS). Following lectin binding, DNA amplification and hybridization, glycans on the cell surface are specifically labeled by short DNA probes, which can be facilely released, ionized and detected in MALDI-TOF MS. This strategy converts the analysis of glycans to the detection of DNA probes, overcoming the complicated composition and low ionization efficiency of glycans, enabling in situ detection and facilitating multiplex analysis. The amplification procedure also improves the sensitivity. This approach has been applied to evaluate glycomic alterations in cancer cells and provided the intrinsic distribution of glycans in tissues using MALDI imaging mass spectrometry.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are highly promising candidates as drug delivery agents into cells of interest. We describe for the first time the multiplexed analysis of nanoparticle uptake by cells using mass spectrometry. We demonstrate that the cellular uptake of functionalized gold nanoparticles with cationic or neutral surface ligands can be readily determined using laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry of cell lysates. The surface ligands have "mass barcodes" that allow different nanoparticles to be simultaneously identified and quantified at levels as low as 30 pmol. Using this method, we find that subtle changes to AuNP surface functionalities can lead to measurable changes in cellular uptake propensities.

Project description:The ability to perform highly sensitive and multiplexed in-situ protein analysis is crucial to advance our understanding of normal physiology and disease pathogenesis. To achieve this goal, we here develop an approach using cleavable biotin-conjugated antibodies and cleavable fluorescent streptavidin (CFS). In this approach, protein targets are first recognized by the cleavable biotin-labeled antibodies. Subsequently, CFS is applied to stain the protein targets. Though layer-by-layer signal amplification using cleavable biotin-conjugated orthogonal antibodies and CSF, the protein detection sensitivity can be enhanced at least 10-fold, compared with the current in-situ proteomics methods. After imaging, the fluorophore and the biotin unbound to streptavidin are removed by chemical cleavage. The leftover streptavidin is blocked by biotin. Upon reiterative analysis cycles, a large number of different proteins with a wide range of expression levels can be profiled in individual cells at the optical resolution. Applying this approach, we have demonstrated that multiple proteins are unambiguously detected in the same set of cells, regardless of the protein analysis order. We have also shown that this method can be successfully applied to quantify proteins in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues.

Project description:Characterization of structural isomers has become increasingly important and extremely challenging in glycobiology. This communication demonstrates the capability of ion-trap mass spectrometry in conjunction with 157 nm photofragmentation to identify different structural isomers of permethylated N-glycans derived from ovalbumin without chromatographic separation. The results are compared with collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments. Photodissociation generates extensive cross-ring fragment ions as well as diagnostic glycosidic product ions that are not usually observed in CID MS/MS experiments. The detection of these product ions aids in characterizing indigenous glycan isomers. The ion trap facilitates MS(n) experiments on the diagnostic glycosidic fragments and cross-ring product ions generated through photofragmentation, thus allowing unambiguous assignment of all of the isomeric structures associated with the model glycoprotein used in this study. Photofragmentation is demonstrated to be a powerful technique for the structural characterization of glycans.

Project description:The detection of a single entity (molecule, cell, particle, etc.) was always a challenging subject. Here we demonstrate the detection of single Ag nanoparticles (NPs) using subatmospheric pressure laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS). The sample preparation, measurement conditions, generated ions, and limiting experimental factors are discussed here. We detected from 84 to 95% of the deposited 80 nm Ag NPs. The presented LDI MS platform is an alternative to laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for imaging distribution of individual NPs across the sample surface and has a great potential for multiplexed mapping of low-abundance biomarkers in tissues.
