HRMAS NMR is considered a valuable technique to obtain detailed metabolic profile of unprocessed tissues. To properly interpret the HRMAS metabolomic results, detailed information of the actual state of the sample inside the rotor is needed. MRM (Magnetic Resonance Microscopy) was applied for obtaining structural and spatially localized metabolic information of the samples inside the HRMAS rotors. The tissue was observed stuck to the rotor wall under the effect of HRMAS spinning. MRM spectroscopy showed a transference of metabolites from the tissue to the medium. The sample shape and the metabolite transfer after HRMAS indicated that tissue had undergone alterations and it can not be strictly considered as intact. This must be considered when HRMAS is used for metabolic tissue characterization, and it is expected to be highly dependent on the manipulation of the sample. The localized spectroscopic information of MRM reveals the biochemical compartmentalization on tissue samples hidden in the HRMAS spectrum.
高分辨魔角旋转核磁共振(HRMAS NMR)被认为是一种获取未处理组织详细代谢谱的有价值技术。为了正确解读HRMAS代谢组学结果,需要转子内样品实际状态的详细信息。磁共振显微镜(MRM)被用于获取HRMAS转子内样品的结构和空间定位代谢信息。在HRMAS旋转的作用下,观察到组织附着在转子壁上。MRM光谱显示代谢物从组织转移到了介质中。HRMAS后的样品形状和代谢物转移表明组织发生了改变,不能严格视为完整无损。在使用HRMAS进行代谢组织表征时必须考虑这一点,并且预计这高度依赖于样品的操作。MRM的局部光谱信息揭示了隐藏在HRMAS光谱中的组织样品上的生化区室化。
