Description

Here, we for the first time applied TOF-SIMS (Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry) to study glioma tumors and cells with 800 nm resolution. We also developed a method that allows to simultaneously detect distribution of proteins and metabolites in tumor sections using TOF-SIMS. Our results demonstrate that according to TOF-SIMS data glioma samples can be subdivided into clinically relevant groups and distinguished from the normal brain tissue.

Steps to reproduce

Tissues were embedded into paraffin and sectioned according to the standard protocol. At the day of experiment samples were subsequently washed three times with xylene, three times with 96% ethanol, once with 70% ethanol, twice with PBS and three times with water (mQ). After that samples were dried under a weak flow of argon and subjected to TOF-SIMS. In some experiments paraffin sections were stained with nanogold conjugated anti-Caveolin-1 antibodies. For that reason, at the day of experiment samples were subsequently washed three times with xylene, three times with 96% ethanol, once with 70% ethanol and twice with PBS. After microwave antigen retrieval in DakoCytomation target retrieval solution pH 6 (Dako), slides were blocked with 1% BSA in PBS and incubated with nanogold conjugated anti-Caveolin-1 antibodies overnight at 4°C. Next day, specimens were subsequently washed twice with 0.1% Triton-X100 in PBS, three times with PBS and three times with water (mQ). After that samples were dried under a weak flow of argon and subjected to TOF-SIMS.
