Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging Readout of Single-Cell Immunoblotting.

ABSTRACT: Improvements in single-cell protein analysis are required to study the cell-to-cell variation inherent to diseases, including cancer. Single-cell immunoblotting (scIB) offers proteoform detection specificity, but often relies on fluorescence-based readout and is therefore limited in multiplexing capability. Among rising multiplexed imaging methods is multiplexed ion beam imaging by time-of-flight (MIBI-TOF), a mass spectrometry imaging technology. MIBI-TOF employs metal-tagged antibodies that do not suffer from spectral overlap to the same degree as fluorophore-tagged antibodies. We report for the first-time MIBI-TOF of single-cell immunoblotting (scIB-MIBI-TOF). The scIB assay subjects single-cell lysate to protein immunoblotting on a microscale device consisting of a 50- to 75-μm thick hydrated polyacrylamide (PA) gel matrix for protein immobilization prior to in-gel immunoprobing. We confirm antibody-protein binding in the PA gel with indirect fluorescence readout of metal-tagged antibodies. Since MIBI-TOF is a layer-by-layer imaging technique, and our protein target is immobilized within a 3D PA gel layer, we characterize the protein distribution throughout the PA gel depth by fluorescence confocal microscopy and confirm that the highest signal-to-noise ratio is achieved by imaging the entirety of the PA gel depth. Accordingly, we report the required MIBI-TOF ion dose strength needed to image varying PA gel depths. Lastly, by imaging ∼42% of PA gel depth with MIBI-TOF, we detect two isoelectrically separated TurboGFP (tGFP) proteoforms from individual glioblastoma cells, demonstrating that highly multiplexed mass spectrometry-based readout is compatible with scIB.

Multiplexed protein and drug imaging by super-resolution ion beam imaging

Project description: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.

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.

On clustering for cell-phenotyping in multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) and multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) data

Project description:Objective Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) and multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) images are usually phenotyped using a manual thresholding process. The thresholding is prone to biases, especially when examining multiple images with high cellularity. Results Unsupervised cell-phenotyping methods including PhenoGraph, flowMeans, and SamSPECTRAL, primarily used in flow cytometry data, often perform poorly or need elaborate tuning to perform well in the context of mIHC and MIBI data. We show that, instead, semi-supervised cell clustering using Random Forests, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis are superior. We test the performance of the methods on two mIHC datasets from the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a publicly available MIBI dataset. Each dataset contains a bunch of highly complex images. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13104-022-06097-x.

A Structured Tumor-Immune Microenvironment in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Revealed by Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging.

Project description:The immune system is critical in modulating cancer progression, but knowledge of immune composition, phenotype, and interactions with tumor is limited. We used multiplexed ion beam imaging by time-of-flight (MIBI-TOF) to simultaneously quantify in situ expression of 36 proteins covering identity, function, and immune regulation at sub-cellular resolution in 41 triple-negative breast cancer patients. Multi-step processing, including deep-learning-based segmentation, revealed variability in the composition of tumor-immune populations across individuals, reconciled by overall immune infiltration and enriched co-occurrence of immune subpopulations and checkpoint expression. Spatial enrichment analysis showed immune mixed and compartmentalized tumors, coinciding with expression of PD1, PD-L1, and IDO in a cell-type- and location-specific manner. Ordered immune structures along the tumor-immune border were associated with compartmentalization and linked to survival. These data demonstrate organization in the tumor-immune microenvironment that is structured in cellular composition, spatial arrangement, and regulatory-protein expression and provide a framework to apply multiplexed imaging to immune oncology.

Reproducible, high-dimensional imaging in archival human tissue by multiplexed ion beam imaging by time-of-flight (MIBI-TOF).

Project description:Multiplexed ion beam imaging by time-of-flight (MIBI-TOF) is a form of mass spectrometry imaging that uses metal labeled antibodies and secondary ion mass spectrometry to image dozens of proteins simultaneously in the same tissue section. Working with the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Immune Monitoring and Analysis Centers (CIMAC), we undertook a validation study, assessing concordance across a dozen serial sections of a tissue microarray of 21 samples that were independently processed and imaged by MIBI-TOF or single-plex immunohistochemistry (IHC) over 12 days. Pixel-level features were highly concordant across all 16 targets assessed in both staining intensity (R2 = 0.94 ± 0.04) and frequency (R2 = 0.95 ± 0.04). Comparison to digitized, single-plex IHC on adjacent serial sections revealed similar concordance (R2 = 0.85 ± 0.08) as well. Lastly, automated segmentation and clustering of eight cell populations found that cell frequencies between serial sections yielded an average correlation of R2 = 0.94 ± 0.05. Taken together, we demonstrate that MIBI-TOF, with well-vetted reagents and automated analysis, can generate consistent and quantitative annotations of clinically relevant cell states in archival human tissue, and more broadly, present a scalable framework for benchmarking multiplexed IHC approaches.

3D projection electrophoresis for single-cell immunoblotting.

Project description:Immunoassays and mass spectrometry are powerful single-cell protein analysis tools; however, interfacing and throughput bottlenecks remain. Here, we introduce three-dimensional single-cell immunoblots to detect both cytosolic and nuclear proteins. The 3D microfluidic device is a photoactive polyacrylamide gel with a microwell array-patterned face (xy) for cell isolation and lysis. Single-cell lysate in each microwell is "electrophoretically projected" into the 3rd dimension (z-axis), separated by size, and photo-captured in the gel for immunoprobing and confocal/light-sheet imaging. Design and analysis are informed by the physics of 3D diffusion. Electrophoresis throughput is > 2.5 cells/s (70× faster than published serial sampling), with 25 immunoblots/mm2 device area (>10× increase over previous immunoblots). The 3D microdevice design synchronizes analyses of hundreds of cells, compared to status quo serial analyses that impart hours-long delay between the first and last cells. Here, we introduce projection electrophoresis to augment the heavily genomic and transcriptomic single-cell atlases with protein-level profiling.

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.
