Nearly all disease processes are associated with variations of components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that are typically observed during the development of inflammation. This concerns for example proteoglycans and their associated glycosaminoglycans (GAG), which have been shown to bind to cationic metal imaging probes due to their strong complexing activity. The complexing activity largely depends on the degree of GAG sulfation and/or carboxylation as well as on the GAG isomericity. In this central project, we investigate GAG structures from inflammatory disorders (namely cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory intestinal diseases and neuroinflammation) provided by researchers of the Collaborative Research Center at the molecular disaccharidic level using chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods. In parallel, the spatial localization and quantification of metal-based imaging probes are evaluated by LA-ICP-MS imaging.
Molekülmassenspektrometrie entwickelt sich weg von klassischer Target- hin zu Nontarget-Analytik. Elementmassenspektrometrie liefert hohe Ortsauflösung beim Element-Imaging und analysiert einzelne Zellen. Aufgrund der Fortschritte bei den Geräten für Timeof-Flight-Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICPToF-MS) lässt sich das gesamte Periodensystem der Elemente in kurzen transienten Signalen quasi-simultan massenspektrometrisch erfassen.
High spatially resolved quantitative bioimaging of CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots uptake in two kinds of cells is investigated combining laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and the spatially resolved analysis of dried pL-droplets from a solution with a known concentration of Quantum Dots. Single cells and dried pL-droplets are morphologically characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy. A number concentration of CdSe/ZnS QDs between 3.5 104 and 48 104 is estimated to be uptaken by several selected single cells, after being incubated in the presence of a QDs suspension added to a standard cell culture medium. Mono-elemental bioimaging at subcellular resolution seems to show a higher number concentration of the CdSe/ZnS QDs in the cytosol around the cell nucleus.
