As a matrix metalloproteinase, the abnormal expression of MMP2 is associated with multiple biological processes, including tissue remodeling and cancer progression. Therefore, spatial analysis of MMP2 protein in tissues can be used as an important approach to evaluate the expression distribution of MMP2 in complex tissue environments, which will help the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, including tissue or organ injuries. Moreover, this analysis will also help the evaluation of prognoses. However, MMP2 is difficult to be spatially determined by MALDI TOF mass spectrometry due to its large molecular weight (over 72 KD) and low content. Therefore, a new method should be developed to help this detection. Here, we have designed a specific MMP2 probe that closely binds to MMP2 protein in tissue. This probe has a Cl on Tyr at the terminal, which can provide two isotope peaks to help the accuracy quantitative of MMP2 protein. Based on this, we used the probe to determine the spatial expression of MMP2 in the tissues based on MALDI TOF mass spectrometry. This approach may help to study the influence of multifunctional proteases on the degree of malignancy in vivo.
