Article Abstract
The distribution of phosphocholine ions (m/z 184, m/z 86), sodium ions, and potassium ions in thyroid tumor cells was analyzed by imaging TOF-SIMS. Repeated sputtering with a C(60) (+) source and subsequent analysis with a Bi(3) (+) gun produced a series of 138 images that were stacked to make a 3D display of the chemistry of cells. Phosphocholine was seen in the plasma membrane (m/z 184) and intracellular membranes (m/z 86). The different fragmentation of the phospholipid probably reflects the chemical composition of membranes at these sites. High intensity of secondary ion signals of potassium was seen in membrane-encompassed cellular compartments. The data indicate that potassium ions are compartmentalized in thyroid tumor cells.

Amiodarone is one of the cationic amphiphilic drugs which cause the drug-induced phospholipidosis (DIPL). With the accumulation of phospholipids, the multiple-membrane structures called lamellar bodies emerge in the cell. Since the pathogenesis mechanism has not been clarified yet, DIPL is still concerned in the clinical use of amiodarone and the new drug development processes.

Recently, a conceptually new mass analyzer was introduced by pairing a quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometer with an asymmetric track lossless (Astral™) analyzer. This system provides >200 Hz MS/MS scanning speed, high resolving power, sensitivity, and mass accuracy. Due to its speed, the instrument allows for a narrow-window data-independent acquisition (nDIA) strategy, representing a new technical milestone in peptide-centric proteomics.

Capillary electrophoresis coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (CE-MS/MS) offers advantages in peak capacity and sensitivity for metabolic profiling owing to the electroosmotic flow-based separation. However, the utilization of data-independent MS/MS acquisition (DIA) is restricted due to the absence of an optimal procedure for analytical chemistry and its related informatics framework. We assessed the mass spectral quality using two DIA techniques, namely, all-ion fragmentation (AIF) and variable DIA (vDIA), to isolate 60-800 Da precursor ions with respect to annotation rates.
