Localization and imaging of sialylated glycosphingolipids in brain tissue sections by MALDI mass spectrometry.
In this study, we describe a simple and efficient method for mapping the distribution and localization of all sialylated sphingoglycolipids present in coronal mouse brain sections using a conventional axial matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight. A single scan of a histological tissue section gives a complete profile of ganglioside species without derivatization or labeling....
متن کاملOn-Tissue Localization of Ceramides and Other Sphingolipids by MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging
A novel MALDI-FTICR imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) workflow is described for on-tissue detection, spatial localization, and structural confirmation of low abundance bioactive ceramides and other sphingolipids. Increasingly, altered or elevated levels of sphingolipids, sphingolipid metabolites, and sphingolipid metabolizing enzymes have been associated with a variety of disorders such as ...
متن کاملMass Microscope for MALDI Molecular Imaging in Biological Tissue Sections
Mass microscope combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) is applied for imaging of biomolecules due to the high resolution of microscopic lens present in the instrument for scanning the tissue sections at the level of micro meter (μm) to reveal the distribution of molecules in samples. Therefore, the MALD-IMS is a powerful tool in investiga...
متن کاملImaging of N-Linked Glycans from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Sections Using MALDI Mass Spectrometry
Aberrant glycosylation is associated with most of the diseases. Direct imaging and profiling of N-glycans on tissue sections can reveal tissue-specific and/or disease-associated N-glycans, which not only could serve as molecular signatures for diagnosis but also shed light on the functional roles of these biomolecules. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool that has been used to cor...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of brain localization of liposomes in mice using MALDI mass spectrometry
Phospholipids have excellent biocompatibility and are therefore often used as main components of liposomal drug carriers. In traditional bioanalytics, the in-vivo distribution of liposomal drug carriers is assessed using radiolabeled liposomal constituents. This study presents matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) as an alternative, label-free method ...
