Figure 1. Schematic flowchart showing the type of information obtained in the different modes of the multimodal approach developed.<br />

The cell-line cytosol was separated by ultracentrifugation using<br />

a HimaCs 120GX model (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) and fractionated<br />

by size-exclusion chromatography using an Agilent 1100 HPLC<br />

system (Agilent, Wilmington, DE). The metal elution was monitored<br />

by splitting part of the effluent to an Agilent 7500ce ICP<br />

MS (Agilent, Tokyo, Japan).<br />

Procedures. The purpose of the different detection modes<br />

used in this study was schematically illustrated in Figure 1.<br />

µRP HPLC. The column was a C8 Vydac (250 mm ×1 mm i.d.,<br />

5 µm) presented in passivated 316 copper-free stainless steel<br />

housing (Alltech/Grace, Templemars, France). The injection<br />

volume was 5 µL. The elution solvents were eluent A: 5 mM<br />

ammonium acetate pH 6 and eluent B: 5 mM ammonium acetate<br />

(pH 6) in 50% (v/v) acetonitrile. Elution was carried out at 40<br />

µL · min -1 using the following program: 0-50 min: 2-20% B;<br />

50-52 min: 2% B; 52-60 min: 2% B.<br />

µRP HPLC-ICP MS. ICP MS was optimized daily for the<br />

maximum sensitivity by introducing directly a solution containing<br />

1 µg · L -1 89 Y, 7 Li, 205 Tl and 140 Ce. Isotopes monitored in µRP<br />

HPLC-ICP MS were 114 Cd, 112 Cd 63 Cu, 65 Cu, 64 Zn, 66 Zn. The<br />

data were processed using Excel Microsoft software.<br />

µRP HPLC-ESI MS. Chromatographic separation conditions<br />

were identical as given above. For the postcolumn acidification<br />

experiments, the solution added was formic acid:methanol (30/<br />

70%, v/v) delivered at 4 µL · min -1 .<br />

Initial calibration of the mass spectrometer was performed<br />

using a mixture consisting of cafein (195.08765), MRFA peptide<br />

(524.26499) and Ultramark polymer (m/z 1221.99063). The ion<br />

source was operated in the positive ion mode at 3.2 kV. The<br />

vaporizer temperature of the source was set to 120 °C and the<br />

capillary temperature to 280 °C. Nitrogen sheath gas was set to<br />

20, the auxiliary gas to 5 and sweep gas to 0 (arbitrary unit). The<br />

ion lenses were automatically optimized using a MT solution (1<br />

µg · mL -1 in 0.01% formic acid in 50% (v/v) methanol) introduced<br />

by infusion at 4 µL · min -1 and monitored at m/z 1225.843 (z )<br />

5). In all experiments, the most abundant mass of [M + 5H] 5+<br />

ion was systematically monitored for better detection limit.<br />

Throughout this manuscript, the most abundant mass is always<br />

given for multicharged ions or uncharged molecules.<br />

In full scan mode, an m/z 1200-1500 range was scanned for<br />

the detection of apo- and metalated MTs (the resolution was set<br />

at 100 000 (m/∆m, fwhm at m/z 400)). Injection time was 400<br />

ms. In single ion monitoring (SIM) mode, the scan mode was<br />

centered on m/z 1230 ± 50 and m/z 1377.5 ± 65 for the detection<br />

of apo- and metalated rabbit liver MTs, respectively. Pig kidney<br />

apo-MTs were measured at m/z 1250 ± 60 and then at m/z 1170<br />

± 70 whereas the metalated forms at m/z 1367.5 ± 87. The<br />

resolution was set at 100 000 (m/∆m, fwhm at m/z 400) and<br />

injection time was 3 s. The mass accuracy was expressed in ppm<br />

and calculated as the ratio (M theoretical - Mdetermined)/Mtheoretical<br />

multiplied by 10 6 .<br />

µRP HPLC-ESI MS/MS. The [M+5H] 5+ of apo-MT was<br />

selected for top-down sequencing experiments. High energy<br />

collision fragmentation (HCD) was carried out at 50% energy,<br />

using an isolation width of 2 in full scan mode over m/z<br />

100-2000 mass range at a resolution of 100 000. The acquisition<br />

time (60 min) was split into 6 time segments. Segment 1:<br />

0-30.75 min, SIM scan mode (m/z 1100-1300) at 100 000<br />

resolution (m/∆m, fwhm at m/z 400); segment 2: 30.75-36<br />

min, HCD at m/z 1189.4: segment 3: 36-39 min, HCD at m/z<br />

1197.63, and m/z 1194.63; segment 4: 39-44 min, HCD at m/z<br />

1203.24; segment 5: 44-47 min, HCD at m/z 1271.96; segment<br />

6: 47-60 min, SIM scan mode centered at m/z 1200 ± 100 at<br />

100 000 resolution. Data were processed using Xcalibur 2.1<br />

software (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and masses were manually<br />

corrected using the traces of peaks of the Ultramark polymer<br />

calibrant as internal standard. Analyst Q.S. 1.1 software (Applied<br />

Biosystems MDS Sciex, Foster City, CA) was used to obtain<br />

the theoretical y ions lists of the amino acids sequence of MT<br />

subisoforms.<br />

Cell Growth and CdS Nanoparticles Exposure. Kidney pig cell<br />

line (LLC-PK1) were grown in 100 mm cell culture Petri dish<br />

with EMEM (Eagle’s minimal essential medium) media containing<br />

1% antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin), 2 mM Lglutamin,<br />

1 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulfonic<br />

acid (HEPES), non-essential amino acids, and 5% of fetal calf<br />

serum. Petri dishes were incubated at 37 °C ina5%CO2<br />

incubator. At subconfluence, cells were exposed during 24 h<br />

with5mLof120µM solution of 10 nm-CdS nanoparticles. Cells<br />

from 11 Petri dishes were pooled. Cells not submitted to CdS<br />

were considered as control.<br />

Recovery of the MT Fraction. After cell growth, the supernatant<br />

was discarded and cells were rinsed twice with 1 mL phosphate<br />

buffered saline (PBS). A 1-mL aliquot of 25 mM Tris/HCl buffer<br />
