Mus musculus Urinary bladder MALDI (CHCA)
HR2MSI_mouse_urinary_bladder - S096 - PXD001283
Resolution: 10μm, 260x134

Description

Mass spectrometry imaging of phospholipids in mouse urinary bladder (imzML dataset)
The spatial distribution of phospholipids in a tissue section of mouse urinary bladder was analyzed by MALDI MS imaging at 10 micrometer pixel size with high mass resolution (using an LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometer).

R, ö, mpp A, Guenther S, Schober Y, Schulz O, Takats Z, Kummer W, Spengler B, Histology by mass spectrometry: label-free tissue characterization obtained from high-accuracy bioanalytical imaging. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 49(22):3834-8(2010)

Fig. S2: Single ion images of compounds shown in Fig. 1A-B : (upper left to lower right) m/z = 743.5482 (unknown), m/z = 741.5307 (SM (16:0), [M+K]+), m/z = 798.5410 (PC (34:1), [M+K]+), m/z = 616.1767 (heme b, M+), m/z = 772.5253 (PC (32:0), [M+K]+).

Stability of determined mass values was in the range of +/- 1 ppm over 22 hours of measurement (Fig. S4), with a standard deviation of 0.56 ppm. Accuracy data were obtained during tissue scanning experiments by monitoring the mass signal at nominal mass 798. The internal lock mass function of the Orbitrap instrument was used for automatic calibration during imaging measurements, using the known matrix-related ion signals at m/z = 137.0233, m/z = 444.0925 and m/z = 716.1246.

4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol 2-phosphate, also known as 4-dpcmep, is a member of the class of compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates. Pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates are pyrimidine ribonucleotides with diphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety. 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol 2-phosphate is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol 2-phosphate can be found in a number of food items such as maitake, sunflower, allspice, and chives, which makes 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol 2-phosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-c-methyl-d-erythritol 2-phosphate may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
