Bone and bone marrow are vital to mammalian structure, movement, and immunity. These tissues are also commonly subjected to molecular alterations giving rise to debilitating diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteomyelitis. Technologies such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) facilitate the discovery of spatially resolved chemical information in biological tissue samples to help elucidate the complex molecular processes underlying pathology. Traditionally, preparation of osseous tissue for MALDI IMS has been difficult due to its mineralized composition and heterogeneous morphology, and compensation for these challenges with decalcification and fixation protocols can remove or delocalize molecular species. Here, sample preparation methods were advanced to enable multimodal MALDI IMS of undecalcified, fresh-frozen murine femurs, allowing the distribution of endogenous lipids to be linked to tissue structures and cell types. Adhesive-bound bone sections were mounted onto conductive glass slides with microscopy-compatible glue and freeze-dried to minimize artificial bone marrow damage. High spatial resolution (10 μm) MALDI IMS was employed to characterize lipid distributions, and use of complementary microscopy modalities aided tissue and cell assignments. For example, various phosphatidylcholines localize to the bone marrow, adipose tissue, marrow adipose tissue, and muscle. Further, sphingomyelin(42:1) was abundant in megakaryocytes, whereas sphingomyelin(42:2) was diminished in this cell type. These data reflect the vast molecular and cellular heterogeneity indicative of the bone marrow and the soft tissue surrounding the femur. Multimodal MALDI IMS has the potential to advance bone-related biomedical research by offering deep molecular coverage with spatial relevance in a preserved native bone microenvironment.
骨骼和骨髓对哺乳动物的结构、运动和免疫至关重要。这些组织也经常受到分子改变的影响,导致类风湿关节炎和骨髓炎等衰弱性疾病。基质辅助激光解吸/电离(MALDI)成像质谱(IMS)等技术有助于发现生物组织样本中空间分辨的化学信息,以帮助阐明潜在病理学的复杂分子过程。传统上,由于其矿化组成和异质形态,骨骼组织的 MALDI IMS 制备较为困难,而脱钙和固定方案等挑战的补偿可能会去除或定位分子种类。在这里,先进的样品制备方法可实现未脱钙、新鲜冷冻的鼠股骨的多模式 MALDI IMS,从而使内源性脂质的分布与组织结构和细胞类型相关联。将粘附结合的骨切片用显微镜兼容的胶水固定在导电玻璃幻灯片上,并进行冷冻干燥,以最大程度地减少人工骨髓损伤。采用高空间分辨率(10 μm)MALDI IMS 对脂质分布进行了表征,并使用互补的显微镜模式辅助组织和细胞分配。例如,各种磷脂酰胆碱定位于骨髓、脂肪组织、骨髓脂肪组织和肌肉中。此外,鞘磷脂(42:1)在巨核细胞中丰富,而鞘磷脂(42:2)在该细胞类型中减少。这些数据反映了骨髓和股骨周围软组织所代表的巨大分子和细胞异质性。多模式 MALDI IMS 具有通过在保存的天然骨微环境中提供具有空间相关性的深度分子覆盖来推进与骨骼相关的生物医学研究的潜力。
