Multimodal Imaging Mass Spectrometry of Murine Gastrointestinal Tract with Retained Luminal Content.


ABSTRACT: The gastrointestinal tract, including luminal content, harbors a complex mixture of microorganisms, host dietary content, and immune factors. Existing imaging approaches remove luminal content and only visualize small regions of the GI tract. Here, we demonstrate a workflow for multimodal imaging using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry, autofluorescence, and bright field microscopy for mapping intestinal tissue and luminal content. Results comparing tissue and luminal content in control murine tissue show both unique molecular and elemental distributions and abundances using multimodal protein, lipid, and elemental imaging. For instance, lipid PC(42:1) is 2× higher intensity in luminal content than tissue, while PC(32:0) is 80× higher intensity in tissue. Additionally, some ions such as the protein at m/z 3443 and the element manganese are only detected in luminal content, while the protein at m/z 8564 was only detected in tissue and phosphorus had 2× higher abundance in tissue. These data highlight the robust molecular information that can be gained from the gastrointestinal tract with the inclusion of luminal content.
