Imaging with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) has expanded very rapidly with the development of gold cluster ion sources (Au3+). It is now possible to acquire ion density maps (ion images) on a tissue section, without any treatment and with a lateral resolution of few micrometers. In this article, we have taken advantage of this technique to study the degeneration/regeneration process in muscles of a Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy model mouse. Specific distribution of different lipid classes (fatty acids, triglycerids, phospholipids, tocopherol, coenzyme Q9 and cholesterol) allows us to distinguish three different regions on a mouse leg section: one is destructured, while another one is in degeneration (oxidative stress and deregulation of the phosphoinositol cycle) and the last one is stable. TOF SIMS imaging shows here great capabilities to localize directly on a tissue section, a great number of lipid compounds, which reflect the state of the cellular metabolism.
