Bioimaging TOF‐SIMS: localization of cholesterol in rat kidney sections

Abstract: Here, we show the localization of a whole organic molecule in biological tissue using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Rat kidneys were sectioned by cryoultramicrotomy and dried at room temperature. The samples were covered with a thin silver layer and analyzed in an imaging TOF-SIMS instrument equipped with a Ga þ -source. The cholesterol signal showed a high concentration in the nuclear areas of the epithelial cells and a lower concentration over areas representing the basal lamina … Show more

“…Very high spatial resolution is obtained using SIMS (pixel size Ͻ1 m) [19], however its sensitivity rapidly decreases with increasing mass, making the technique less suited for protein analysis. Surface modification techniques such as metal assisted SIMS or matrix enhanced SIMS can be used to extend the useable mass range to small peptides and proteins [14,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…Nygren et al have exploited sample metallization to record the distribution of cholesterol in a rat kidney tissue section of a Male Sprague-Dawley, which revealed a high concentration in the nuclear region of epithelial cells. [29] In this case the cholesterol image was obtained using the silver cationized molecular ions.…”

“…It is currently undergoing a revival with the advent of novel primary ion beam types using molecular clusters (Gold or Bismuth cluster sources) [40] or larger molecules (C60) [41]. This approach extends the useful mass range into the realm of lipids [42] and cholesterol [43]. Yet, the real promise of high-resolution imaging of larger biomolecules (peptides and proteins) has yet to be shown with SIMS imaging without surface modifications.…”
