Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Recent advances in spatially resolved molecular profiling have positioned matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) as a powerful platform for multiomic tissue analyses. However, conventional workflows that sequentially target distinct molecular classes are time- and resource-intensive, requiring repeated sequential sample preparation, imaging, and data integration. Here, we evaluate streamlined strategies for simultaneous or combined acquisition of N-glycan and collagen-derived peptide information using PNGase F and collagenase. In-solution studies demonstrate that simultaneous enzymatic digestion yields comparable peptide identifications and glycan profiles relative to traditional sequential workflows, with minimal impact on enzymatic specificity. On the basis of these findings, we developed and optimized MALDI-MSI protocols enabling either simultaneous enzyme application or sequential enzyme treatment with unified matrix deposition and single-pass imaging. While direct coapplication reduced image uniformity, a hybrid approach that used sequential enzyme deposition with combined imaging preserved spatial fidelity and spectral quality while significantly reducing processing and computational demands. Application to human tissues, including vertebral bone and ocular samples, highlights the utility of this workflow for fragile specimens and exploratory multiomic surveys. Collectively, these results establish a framework for integrated glycomic and proteomic imaging targeting the extracellular microenvironment, expanding multiomic MALDI-MSI analyses.
