| Study Title | Spatial isotope deep tracing deciphers inter-tissue metabolic crosstalk |
| Study Summary | Organs collaborate to maintain metabolic homeostasis in mammals. Spatial metabolomics makes strides in profiling the metabolic landscape, yet can not directly inspect the metabolic crosstalk between tissues. Here, we introduce an approach to comprehensively trace the metabolic fate of 13C-nutrients within the body and present a robust computational tool, MSITracer, to deep-probe metabolic activity in a spatial manner. By discerning spatial distribution differences between isotopically labeled metabolites from ambient mass spectrometry imaging-based isotope tracing data, this approach empowers us to characterize fatty acid metabolic crosstalk between the liver and heart, as well as glutamine metabolic exchange across the kidney, liver, and brain. Moreover, we disclose that tumor burden significantly influences the host’s hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, and that the glucose-derived glutamine released from the lung as a potential source for tumor glutamate synthesis. The developed approach facilitates the systematic characterization of metabolic activity in situ and the interpretation of tissue metabolic communications in living organisms. Each dataset was processed according to the following procedure. ProteoWizard (version 3.0.22143) was used to convert the raw MS data (.raw) files to the .mzXML format (for full scan mode) and .mgf (for ddMS2 mode) format. The R package “AutoTuner” (version 1.4.0) was utilized to select dataset-specific parameters to ensure reliable data processing. Then, these optimized key values were used to group mzXML data files from noninfusion samples for peak detection, retention time correction, and peak alignment using the R package “XCMS” (version 3.12.0). For datasets acquired under HILIC mode, the resulting MS1 peak table and MS2 files were input into the “metID” package (version 1.2.19) and MetDNA2 (version 1.4.1; http://metdna.zhulab.cn/) for metabolite annotation, with the liquid chromatography set to “HILIC”. The generated metabolite annotation tables were further filtered and modified to meet the data formatting requirements of the R package “MetTracer” (version 1.0.4). |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004170 |
| Collection Summary: | The BALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into noninfusion or infusion groups. Catheters were inserted into the jugular vein of mice under anaesthesia. U-13C glucose and U-13C glutamine were infused into conscious, free-moving animals for 3 h at constant rates of 80 and 30 nmol/min/g, respectively. After the infusion, blood was collected from the orbital sinus, and the mouse was euthanized. Nine organs (liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, heart, lung, brain, brown adipose tissue, and muscle) were sequentially harvested and quickly snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen to halt metabolic processes and ensure comparability between different groups. |

Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004183 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | For metabolomics analysis, 500 μL of extraction solvent (ACN:MeOH:H2O = 2:2:1, v/v/v) was added to 100 μL of serum or 25 mg of tissue sample. The mixture was vortexed for 30 s, followed by homogenization and sonication for 5 min in an ice-water bath; this process was repeated 3 times. Then, the mixture was incubated for 1 h before centrifugation at 15000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C. An aliquot of the supernatant was used for the LC‒MS assay. For lipidomic analysis, 480 μL of extraction solution (MTBE: MeOH = 5: 1, v/v) was sequentially added to 200 μL of water. Apart from the supernatant collection, all other procedures were the same as those described above. After solution layering, the supernatant was transferred and vacuum-dried. Finally, the samples were resolubilized in ACN/IPA/H2O (65:30:5, v/v/v) containing 5 mM AmAc prior to analysis. |
