#PROJECT
PR:PROJECT_TITLE                 	Optimized Mass Spectrometry Detection of Thyroid Hormones and Polar Metabolites
PR:PROJECT_TITLE                 	in Rodent Cerebrospinal Fluid
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	Thyroid hormones (TH) are required for brain development and function.
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which bathes the brain and spinal cord, contains TH
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	as free hormone, or as bound to transthyretin (TTR). Tight TH level regulation
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	in the central nervous system is essential for de-velopmental gene expression
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	that governs neurogenesis, myelination, and synaptogenesis. This integrated
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	function of TH highlights the importance of developing precise and reliable
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	methods for assessing TH levels in CSF. We report an optimized liquid
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	chromatography-mass spectrome-try (LC-MS) based method to measure TH in rodent
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	CSF and serum, applicable to both fresh and frozen samples. Using this new
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	method, we find distinct differences in CSF TH in pregnant dams vs. non-pregnant
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	adults and in embryonic vs. adult CSF. Further, targeted LC-MS metabolic
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	pro-filing uncovers distinct central carbon metabolism in the CSF of these
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	populations. TH detection and metabolite profiling of related metabolic pathways
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	open new avenues of rigorous research into CSF TH and will inform future studies
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	on metabolic alterations in CSF during normal de-velopment.

ST:STUDY_TITLE                   	3,5,3’5’-L-tetraiodothyronine (T4) by targeted LC-MS analysis from mouse
ST:STUDY_TITLE                   	adult or embryonic CSF and from adult serum.
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	To maximize discovery from samples with limited amounts, we optimized a method
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	to detect the thyroid hormones ( 3,5,3’-L-triiodothyronine (T3) and
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	3,5,3’5’-L-tetraiodothyronine (T4)) as well as polar metabolites from
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	central carbon metabolism from mouse adult or embryonic CSF and from adult mouse
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	serum. Samples were ran on reverse phase and HILIC chromatography respectively.
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	For T3 and T4 analysis we utilized targeted analysis using information from
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	previously ran synthetic standards. We interrogated relative changes between
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	fresh and frozen adult (male or female) CSF compared to fresh and frozen

#COLLECTION
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	Animals The Boston Children’s Hospital IACUC approved all experiments
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	involving mice in this study. Adult CD-1 male and female mice and pregnant CD-1
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	dams were obtained from Charles River Laboratories. Sprague Dawley rats were
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	purchased from Charles River Laboratories. Animals were housed in a temperature-
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	and humidity-controlled room (70 ± 3 °F, 35–70% humidity) on a 12 h
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	light/12 h dark cycle (7 a.m. on 7 p.m. off) and had free access to food and
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	water. All animals younger than postnatal day 10 were al-located into groups
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	based solely on the gestational age without respect to sex (both males and
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	females were included). For studies involving rodents older than 10 days, sex
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	was treated as a variable. Serum and CSF collection CSF was collected from the
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	cisterna magna of adult (≥ 3 months old) or embryonic (E14.5) wild-type CD-1
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	mice. Independent samples (n) were defined as independent animals for adult
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	samples, and as a CSF pool from all embryos in a single litter for embryonic CSF
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	samples. Samples were maintained on ice, then spun 1000 × g for 10 min at
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	4 °C. The supernatant was collected and used for analysis. Blood was
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	collected from cardiac puncture, allowed to clot for 10 minutes at room
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	temperature, spun at 500 × g for 10 min at room temperature. The
CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY            	supernatant serum was collected and used for analysis.

SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	and serum in parallel to analysis for polar metabolites. Per condition,
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	5–10 μL of CSF or serum was extracted in 4:6:3 chloroform:methanol:water
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	mixture supplemented with isotopically labeled T3 and T4 (at 100 nM, Cambridge
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Isotope Laboratories, CLM-7185-C and CLM-8931-PK) and isotopically labeled 17
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	amino acids (at 1/5000, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, MSK-A2-1.2) and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	isotopically labeled reduced glutathione (at 1 µM, Cambridge Isotope
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Laboratories and CNLM-6245-10). After centrifugation for 10 min at maximum
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	speed on a benchtop centrifuge (Eppendorf) the top, hydrophilic layer was
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	transferred to a new tube, dried using a nitrogen dryer (ThermoFisher
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Scientific, TS-18826) and reconstituted in 20 µL 70% ac-etonitrile
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	(supplemented with QReSS, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, MSK-QRESS-KIT) by
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	brief vortexing. Extracted metabolites were spun again and cleared supernatant
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	was transferred to LC-MS micro vials. The protocol was used for both fresh and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	frozen CSF and serum samples. A small amount of each sample was also pooled and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	serially diluted 3- and 10-fold to be used as quality controls throughout the
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	run of each batch. Serum and CSF sample pools were kept separate and serum and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	CSF sample sets were run consecutively on our chromatography to avoid
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	interspersing the run of two different matrixes.

MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	quantification of polar metabolites was performed with TraceFinder 5.1 (Thermo
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) using a 5 ppm mass tolerance and
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	referencing an in-house library of chemical standards (see associated
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	Supplemental Dataset S1). We routinely queried 266 compounds (40 internal
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	standards and 226 metabolites). Pooled samples and fractional dilutions were
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	prepared as quality controls and injected at the beginning and end of each run.
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	In addition, pooled samples were interspersed throughout the run to control for
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	technical drift in signal quality as well as to serve to assess the coefficient
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	of variability (CV) for each metabolite. Data from TraceFinder were further
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	consolidated and normalized with an in-house R script, freely accessible at
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	github

MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	Briefly, this script performs the following normalization and quality control
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	steps: (1) extracts and combines the peak areas from TraceFinder output.csvs;
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	(2) calculates and normalizes to an averaged factor from all mean-centered
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	chromatographic peak areas of isotopically labeled amino acid and QReSS internal
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	standards within each sample; (3) filters out low-quality metabolites based on
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	user-inputted cut-offs calculated from pool reinjections and pool dilutions; (4)
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	calculates and normalizes for biological material amounts based on the total
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	integrated peak area values of high-confidence metabolites. In this study, the
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	linear correlation between the dilution factor and the peak area cut-offs is set
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	to RSQ > 0.95 and the coefficient of variation (CV) < 30%. Finally, data were
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	log transformed and Pareto scaled within the MetaboAnalyst-based statistical
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	analysis platform [42] to generate PCA, PLSDA, volcano plots, and heatmaps.
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	Individual metabolite bar plots and statistics were calculated in Excel (v16.81)
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	and GraphPad Prism (v.10). Data Analysis for TH Levels Data analysis for T3 and
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	T4 levels was performed with TraceFinder 5.1 as described above, referencing
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	empirically determined retention times using standards. Isotopically labeled T3
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	and T4 internal standards (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Tewksbury, MA, USA;
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	CLM-7185-C and CLM-8931-PK) were used to normalize for technical signal
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	variability and matrix effects. Equal volumes of samples were compared per
MS:MS_COMMENTS                   	condition.
