PG - 413-421 LID - S0039-9140(19)30056-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.talanta.2019.01.056 [doi] AB - Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is proposed for a better understanding of metals and proteins distribution in micrometre structures of human brain tissues. Simultaneous absolute quantitative imaging of Fe and ferroportin (FPN), in 5 microm thick tissue sections of the stratum pyramidale of hippocampus CA1 region, was carried out for Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and healthy controls (HC). For the imaging of FPN by LA-ICP-MS, antibodies were labelled via carbodiimide crosslinking with fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) of 2.2 nm diameter, enabling a high amplification (314 gold atoms per NC). Laboratory made gelatin standards containing Fe and Au were used for LA-ICP-MS calibration. Results showed that iron presents an increased concentration in AD donors compared with HC donors, whereas similar concentrations of FPN in AD donors with respect to HC donors were obtained. The average absolute FPN concentrations in selected areas obtained with the proposed AuNCs method were compared with the levels obtained by densitometric analysis with a traditional IHC approach, observing a similar trend in all cases.
