Transcript of Molecular analysis of whole body animal tissue secitions by imaging maldi ms
MALDI-IMS Tissue Analysis
• Goal
– Gain knowledge of location of proteins and drugs in different cellular regions of tissue (e.g. olanzapine in rat brains)
• Tissue distribution is required for FDA
• Advantages over autoradiography
– Analysis of parent and metabolites (MW specific data)
– Can determine protein changes (100 kDa)
– No radioactivity required
• Amenable to HTS
– 1,000 spectra/s
– 100’s of proteins monitored in a single experiments
• Relatively simple and robust sample preparation
– No tissue homogenization required

Sample Preparation and MS Analysis• 10 week old male Fischer 344 rats
– Control and olanzapine, PO, 8 mg/kg
– Sacrificed at 2 and 6 hr post-dose
– Frozen in a block of hexane/dry ice and stored at -20C
• Frozen tissue is cut into sections 5-20 µm thick
• Thaw mounted on a MALDI plate
• Matrix is applied using an automated spotter (~ 100 pL droplets)
– 30-50 µm in diameter
– Average diameter of a mammalian cell is ~ 10 µM
• MS and MS/MS was acquired by MALDI-TOF
– x,y coordinates
• Density map of compounds and proteins is generated using an imager

Other Experimental Notes• Cyt c, insulin β-chain, and apomyoglobin were used to
calibrate the MS• A standard curve of olanzapine was generated using 0.02-20
pmol/µL in the matrix– MS and MS/MS data was collected – Detection limit was 60 ng
• First tested liver, kidney, and brain tissues to develop the protocol– And identify protein signals unique for each tissue
• Whole body imaging was done using 4 MALDI plates

Summary• MALDI-IMS can be used to identify proteins, drugs, and
drug metabolites in various tissues and whole body– First time this has been demonstrated– Metabolites comprised ~20-30% of the MS/MS signal from
2-6 hr
• There was a high degree of consistency– Low inter-animal variability, high reproducibility
• Detailed analysis of specific tissues is also possible– Can monitor dynamic changes in protein levels
Confidential 16
Other Applications Since 2006• Improvements in methodology
– No need for flash freezing– Preservation of tissue using ethanol and paraffin
freezing
• Protein analyses by MALDI-IMS– Normal vs. diseased tissue– Protein degradation/modification
• MALDI-FTICR-MS of drugs and metabolites in tissues– No need for MS/MS fragmentation and can scan
for hundreds of proteins in a single scan
