Visualization of (57)Fe-Labeled Heme Isotopic Fine Structure and Localization of Regions of Erythroblast Maturation in Mouse Spleen by MALDI FTICR-MS Imaging.
Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry 2017 November
Epoetin beta pegol (continuous erythropoiesis receptor activator; C.E.R.A.), or methoxy-polyethylene glycol-modified epoetin beta, is a long-acting erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) that effectively maintains hemoglobin levels. It promotes proliferation of erythroid progenitor cells in hematopoietic organs and leads to increased reticulocyte and hemoglobin levels. However, the detailed erythropoietic effects of various ESAs on their target organs have yet to be clarified, and new approaches are needed to analyze tissue iron localization with structural information. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) techniques are widely used in basic pharmaceutical research. High-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry (MS) imaging enables the spatial mapping and identification of biomolecules. In this study, mice administered with C.E.R.A. were fed a diet containing the stable iron isotope (57)Fe. The (57)Fe-heme(+) isotopic fine structure peak (m/z 617.1772) was separated from the non-labeled heme(+) isotopic peak (Δ0.0029) by FTICR-MS with a resolving power of more than 500,000. We optimized the platform to analyze the distribution of (57)Fe-heme in the spleen using MALDI FTICR-MS imaging. The combination of the ultrahigh resolution power of FTICR-MS and a stable isotope labeling technique has the potential to be very effective in basic pharmaceutical research. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
