    Abstract Biological tissue consists of various molecules. Instead of focusing on a particular molecule, we consider the Shannon entropy which is calculated from the abundance of different molecules at each spot in the tissue. The spatial distribution of the Shannon entropy is of interest. In this paper, we first obtain the heat map of perplexity, whose logarithm is the entropy. To characterize the spatial variety of molecules, we propose a scalar k that is concerned with the coarse-graining of the perplexity heat map. To verify the usefulness of the number, experiments with mass spectrometry imaging were performed for mouse kidneys. We found that k has large values in the renal pelvis area, cortex area, veins, and arteries in the mouse kidney, whereas fractal dimensions fail to distinguish those regions.

    Abstract The introduction of small insertion/deletion (indel) mutations in the coding region of genes by the site-specific nucleases such as Cas9 allows researchers to obtain frameshift null mutants. Technically simple and costly reasonable genotyping methods are awaited to efficiently screen the frameshift null mutant candidates. Here, we developed a simple genotyping method called DST-PCR (Double-strand break Site-Targeted PCR) using "face-to-face" primers where the 3' ends of forward and reverse primers face each other at the position between 3-bp and 4-bp upstream of the PAM sequence, which is generally the Cas9-mediated double-strand break site. Generated amplicons are directly subjected to TBE-High-Resolution PAGE, which contains a high concentration of bis-acrylamide, for mutant clones detection with 1-bp resolution. We present actual cases of screening of CRISPR/Cas9-engineered knockout (KO) cells for six genes, where we screen indels to obtain potential KO cell clones utilizing our approach. This method allowed us to detect 1-bp to 2-bp insertion and 1-bp to 4-bp deletion in one or both alleles of mutant cell clones. In addition, this technique also allowed the identification of heterozygous and homozygous biallelic functional KO candidates. Thus, DST-PCR is a simple and fast method to screen KO candidates generated by the CRISPR/Cas9 system before the final selection of clones with sequencing.

    Abstract Background: Though various mechanisms have been proposed for the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, the full extent of these mechanisms remains unclear, and little is known about the relationships among them. We carried out trans-omics analyses by comparing the results of the previously reported lipidomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics analyses; all of these studies used common post-mortem brain samples.
    Methods: We collected the data from three aforementioned omics studies on 6 common post-mortem samples (3 schizophrenia patients and 3 controls), and analyzed them as a whole group sample. Three correlation analyses were performed for each of the two of three omics studies in these samples. In order to discuss the strength of the correlations in a limited sample size, the
    Results: The following three factors were strongly correlated with each other: the lipid level of phosphatidylinositol (PI) (16:0/20:4), the amount of
    Conclusion: The current results suggest that these three factors may provide new clues to elucidate the relationships among the candidate mechanisms of schizophrenia, and support the potential of trans-omics analyses as a new analytical method.

    Abstract Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) is a histological method used for various molecules including gangliosides. The method is based on mass spectrometry, and thus target molecules with small structural differences are directly and independently detected. Here we describe a general procedure and related key notes for analyzing major brain gangliosides by MALDI-IMS.

    Abstract The brain consists of various areas with anatomical features. Neurons communicate with one another via excitatory or inhibitory synaptic transmission. Altered abundance of neurotransmitters, including glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), in specific brain regions is closely involved in severe neurological diseases, such as schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. SCRAPPER, a ubiquitin E3 ligase, regulates synaptic transmission. Scrapper gene deficiency results in defective neurotransmission due to excessive secretion of neurotransmitters. The present study employed matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry to analyze the abundance of amino acid neurotransmitters in Scrapper knockout (SCR-KO) mice. SCR-KO mice exhibited significantly increased glutamate levels in the isocortex (CTX), corpus callosum (CC), thalamus (TH), midbrain (MB), cerebellar cortex (CBX), and caudoputamen (CP) and increased GABA levels in the CTX, CC, TH, MB, CBX and hypothalamus (HY) compared with wild-type mice. These findings indicate that Scrapper deficiency leads to upregulated glutamate and GABA levels in multiple regions. Our results show a differential, region-specific effect of Scrapper on the abundance of glutamate and GABA.

    Abstract Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) enables the visualization of the distribution of a range of biomolecules that have varied structures in the cells and tissue sections. This emerging imaging technique was initially developed as a tool for protein imaging, but recently it is increasingly being used for the imaging of small organic molecules. IMS is an effective technique for the imaging of small metabolites, including endogenous metabolites such as lipids and exogenous drugs because of the following advantages: First, IMS does not require any specific labels or probes. Second, IMS is a non-targeted imaging method. Finally, the simultaneous imaging of many types of metabolite molecules is possible, and all these features are necessary for the assessment of metabolite localization. In this review, we discuss the capability of current IMS techniques for imaging small molecules, and introduce representative studies on imaging of endogenous and exogenous metabolites. In addition, the limitations and problems of the technique are also discussed, and reports of progress toward solving the problems with this technique are also introduced.
