Subcellular localization of biomolecules and drug distribution by high-definition ion beam imaging.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneous visualization of the relationship between multiple biomolecules and their ligands or small molecules at the nanometer scale in cells will enable greater understanding of how biological processes operate. We present here high-definition multiplex ion beam imaging (HD-MIBI), a secondary ion mass spectrometry approach capable of high-parameter imaging in 3D of targeted biological entities and exogenously added structurally-unmodified small molecules. With this technology, the atomic constituents of the biomolecules themselves can be used in our system as the "tag" and we demonstrate measurements down to ~30 nm lateral resolution. We correlated the subcellular localization of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin simultaneously with five subnuclear structures. Cisplatin was preferentially enriched in nuclear speckles and excluded from closed-chromatin regions, indicative of a role for cisplatin in active regions of chromatin. Unexpectedly, cells surviving multi-drug treatment with cisplatin and the BET inhibitor JQ1 demonstrated near total cisplatin exclusion from the nucleus, suggesting that selective subcellular drug relocalization may modulate resistance to this important chemotherapeutic treatment. Multiplexed high-resolution imaging techniques, such as HD-MIBI, will enable studies of biomolecules and drug distributions in biologically relevant subcellular microenvironments by visualizing the processes themselves in concert, rather than inferring mechanism through surrogate analyses.

Nanoscopic subcellular imaging enabled by ion beam tomography.

Project description:Multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) has been previously used to profile multiple parameters in two dimensions in single cells within tissue slices. Here, a mathematical and technical framework for three-dimensional (3D) subcellular MIBI is presented. Ion-beam tomography (IBT) compiles ion beam images that are acquired iteratively across successive, multiple scans, and later assembled into a 3D format without loss of depth resolution. Algorithmic deconvolution, tailored for ion beams, is then applied to the transformed ion image series, yielding 4-fold enhanced ion beam data cubes. To further generate 3D sub-ion-beam-width precision visuals, isolated ion molecules are localized in the raw ion beam images, creating an approach coined as SILM, secondary ion beam localization microscopy, providing sub-25 nm accuracy in original ion images. Using deep learning, a parameter-free reconstruction method for ion beam tomograms with high accuracy is developed for low-density targets. In cultured cancer cells and tissues, IBT enables accessible visualization of 3D volumetric distributions of genomic regions, RNA transcripts, and protein factors with 5 nm axial resolution using isotope-enrichments and label-free elemental analyses. Multiparameter imaging of subcellular features at near macromolecular resolution is implemented by the IBT tools as a general biocomputation pipeline for imaging mass spectrometry.

Electrospray ion beam deposition plus low-energy electron holography as a tool for imaging individual biomolecules.

Project description:Inline low-energy electron holography (LEEH) in conjunction with sample preparation by electrospray ion beam deposition (ES-IBD) has recently emerged as a promising method for the sub-nanometre-scale single-molecule imaging of biomolecules. The single-molecule nature of the LEEH measurement allows for the mapping of the molecules' conformational space and thus for the imaging of structurally variable biomolecules, thereby providing valuable complementary information to well-established biomolecular structure determination methods. Here, after briefly tracing the development of inline LEEH in bioimaging, we present the state-of-the-art of native ES-IBD + LEEH as a method of single-protein imaging, discuss its applications, specifically regarding the imaging of structurally flexible protein systems and the amplitude and phase information encoded in a low-energy electron hologram, and provide an outlook regarding the considerable possibilities for the future advancement of the approach.

High-resolution imaging and identification of biomolecules using Nano-DESI coupled to ion mobility spectrometry.

Project description:Simultaneous spatial localization and structural characterization of molecules in complex biological samples currently represents an analytical challenge for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) techniques. In this study, we describe a novel experimental platform, which substantially expands the capabilities and enhances the depth of chemical information obtained in high spatial resolution MSI experiments performed using nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI). Specifically, we designed and constructed a portable nano-DESI MSI platform and coupled it with a drift tube ion mobility (IM) spectrometer-mass spectrometer. We demonstrate imaging of drift time-separated ions with a high spatial resolution of better than ∼25 μm using uterine tissues on day 4 of pregnancy in mice. Collision cross-section measurements provide unique molecular descriptors of molecules observed in nano-DESI-IM-MSI necessary for their unambiguous identification by comparison with databases. Meanwhile, isomer-specific imaging reveals variations in the isomeric composition across the tissue. Furthermore, IM separation efficiently eliminates isobaric and isomeric interferences originating from solvent peaks, overlapping isotopic peaks of endogenous molecules extracted from the tissue, and products of in-source fragmentation, which is critical to obtaining accurate concentration gradients in the sample using MSI. The structural information provided by the IM separation substantially expands the molecular specificity of high-resolution MSI necessary for unraveling the complexity of biological systems.

Interleukin-18 induced chromatin accessibility coupled to proteomic analysis by mass cytometry and ion beam imaging

Project description:Regulated chromatin states control genome accessibility and thus influence gene expression. Here we report an analysis pipeline termed ATAC-mass that capitalizes on isotopic labeling to detect the accessible genome by multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) and mass cytometry. With MIBI the accessible genome can be visualized at approximately 100-nm resolution simultaneously with metabolic labeling to enable multi-parameter three-dimensional imaging of nuclear features. Extension of this approach to non-spatial mass cytometry enabled the simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters and total genome accessibility in millions of individual cells. We used ATAC-mass to analyze natural killer cells after stimulation with interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-18 -- demonstrating that IL-18 treatment leads to increased total genome accessibility. Analysis of the spatial organization of open chromatin suggest that IL-12 and IL-18 both induce an increase in chromatin accessibility in noncompacted DNA regions. Deep sequencing of the genomic distribution of open chromatin revealed that IL-18 increased the accessibility of quiescent enhancers whereas genomic loci that become more accessible by IL-12 stimulation are mainly localized in the active promoter regions. This integration of epigenomics, proteomics and high-resolution imaging at the single-cell level provides a tool that can enhance our appreciation of the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation.

Subwavelength imaging through ion-beam-induced upconversion.

Project description:The combination of an optical microscope and a luminescent probe plays a pivotal role in biological imaging because it allows for probing subcellular structures. However, the optical resolutions are largely constrained by Abbe's diffraction limit, and the common dye probes often suffer from photobleaching. Here we present a new method for subwavelength imaging by combining lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals with the ionoluminescence imaging technique. We experimentally observed that the ion beam can be used as a new form of excitation source to induce photon upconversion in lanthanide-doped nanocrystals. This approach enables luminescence imaging and simultaneous mapping of cellular structures with a spatial resolution of sub-30?nm.

Isotopically Encoded Nanotags for Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging.

Project description:High-dimensional profiling of markers and analytes using approaches, such as barcoded fluorescent imaging with repeated labeling and mass cytometry has allowed visualization of biological processes at the single-cell level. To address limitations of sensitivity and mass-channel capacity, a nanobarcoding platform is developed for multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) using secondary ion beam spectrometry that utilizes fabricated isotopically encoded nanotags. Use of combinatorial isotope distributions in 100 nm sized nanotags expands the labeling palette to overcome the spectral bounds of mass channels. As a proof-of-principle, a four-digit (i.e., 0001-1111) barcoding scheme is demonstrated to detect 16 variants of 2H, 19F, 79/81Br, and 127I elemental barcode sets that are encoded in silica nanoparticle matrices. A computational debarcoding method and an automated machine learning analysis approach are developed to extract barcodes for accurate quantification of spatial nanotag distributions in large ion beam imaging areas up to 0.6 mm2. Isotopically encoded nanotags should boost the performance of mass imaging platforms, such as MIBI and other elemental-based bioimaging approaches.

Multiplexed ion beam imaging of human breast tumors.

Project description:Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a tool for visualizing protein expression that is employed as part of the diagnostic workup for the majority of solid tissue malignancies. Existing IHC methods use antibodies tagged with fluorophores or enzyme reporters that generate colored pigments. Because these reporters exhibit spectral and spatial overlap when used simultaneously, multiplexed IHC is not routinely used in clinical settings. We have developed a method that uses secondary ion mass spectrometry to image antibodies tagged with isotopically pure elemental metal reporters. Multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) is capable of analyzing up to 100 targets simultaneously over a five-log dynamic range. Here, we used MIBI to analyze formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast tumor tissue sections stained with ten labels simultaneously. The resulting data suggest that MIBI can provide new insights into disease pathogenesis that will be valuable for basic research, drug discovery and clinical diagnostics.

Exploiting the Semidestructive Nature of Gas Cluster Ion Beam Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Imaging for Simultaneous Localization and Confident Lipid Annotations.

Project description:Lipids have been recognized as key players in cell signaling and disease. Information on their location and distribution within a biological system, under varying conditions, is necessary to understand the contributions of different lipid species to an altered phenotype. Imaging mass spectrometry techniques, such as time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), are capable of revealing global lipid distributions in tissues in an untargeted fashion. However, to confidently identify the species present in a sample, orthogonal analyses like tandem MS (MS/MS) are often required. This can be accomplished by bulk sample analysis with liquid chromatography (LC)-MS/MS, which can provide confident lipid identifications, at the expense of losing location-specific information. Here, using planarian flatworms as a model system, we demonstrate that imaging gas cluster ion beam (GCIB)-ToF-SIMS has the unique capability to simultaneously detect, identify, and image lipid species with subcellular resolution in tissue sections. The parallel detection of both, intact lipids and their respective fragments, allows for unique identification of some species without the need of performing an additional orthogonal MS/MS analysis. This was accomplished by correlating intact lipid and associated fragment SIMS images. The lipid assignments, respective fragment identities, and locations gathered from ToF-SIMS data were confirmed via LC-MS/MS on lipid extracts and ultrahigh mass resolution MALDI-MS imaging. Together, these data show that the semidestructive nature of ToF-SIMS can be utilized advantageously to enable both confident molecular annotations and to determine the locations of species within a biological sample.
