Linking mass spectrometric imaging and traditional peptidomics: a validation in the obese mouse model
2011
MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a promising technique in the field of molecular (immuno)histology but is confronted with the problematic large-scale identification of peptides from thin tissue sections. In this study we present a workflow that significantly increased the number of identified peptides in a given MALDI-MSI data set and we evaluated its power concerning relative peptide quantifications. Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) profiling on matrix-coated thin tissue sections allowed us to align spectra of different MS sources, matching identical peaks in the process, thus linking MSI data to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) on one hand and semiquantitative liquid chromatography (LC)/MS data on the other. Bonanza clustering was applied in order to group MS/MS spectra of structurally related peptides, making it possible to infer the identity of MSI-detected compounds based on identified members within the same cluster, effectively increasing the number of identifications in a single ...
