#STUDY
ST:STUDY_TITLE                   	Metabolite expression in liver after early life exposure to an endocrine
ST:STUDY_TITLE                   	disruptor at 240 days postnatal (part-I)
ST:STUDY_TYPE                    	Metabolite expression after chemical exposure versus control.
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	Our early-life environment has a profound influence on developing organs that
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	impact metabolic function and determines disease susceptibility across the
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	life-course. Using a rat model for exposure to an endocrine disrupting chemical
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	(EDC), we show that early-life exposure causes metabolic dysfunction in
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	adulthood and reprograms histone marks in the developing liver to accelerate
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	acquisition of an adult epigenomic signature. This epigenomic reprogramming
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	persists long after the initial exposure, but many reprogrammed genes remain
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	transcriptionally silent with their impact on metabolism not revealed until a
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	later life exposure to a Western-style diet. Diet-dependent metabolic disruption
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	was largely driven by reprogramming of the Early Growth Response 1 (EGR1)
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	transcriptome and production of metabolites in pathways linked to cholesterol,
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	lipid and one-carbon metabolism. These findings demonstrate the importance of
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	epigenome: environment interactions, which early in life accelerate epigenomic
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	aging, and later in adulthood unlock metabolically restricted epigenetic
ST:STUDY_SUMMARY                 	reprogramming to drive metabolic dysfunction.

#SAMPLEPREP
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Metabolites were extracted from crushed liver samples and a mouse liver pool was
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	used for quality control. Twenty-five mg of crushed liver was used for the
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	metabolic extraction. The extraction step started with the addition of 750 µL
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	ice-cold methanol:water (4:1) containing 20 µL spiked internal standards to
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	each tissue sample. Ice-cold chloroform and water were added in a 3:1 ratio for
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	a final proportion of 1:4:3:1 water:methanol:chloroform:water. The organic
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	(methanol and chloroform) and aqueous layers were mixed, dried and resuspended
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	with 50:50 methanol: water. The extract was deproteinized using a 3kDa molecular
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	filter (Amicon ultracel-3K Membrane; Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA) and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	the filtrate was dried under vacuum (Genevac EZ-2plus; Gardiner, Stone Ridge,
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	NY). Prior to mass spectrometry, the dried extracts were re-suspended in
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	identical volumes of injection solvent composed of 1:1 water: methanol and were
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	subjected to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Fifty µl of sample was
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	used for preparation. Internal standards were spiked into the samples. Then it
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	was processed through a 3 kDa filter. After that, 50 µl of sample was diluted
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	with 450 µl solvent (methanol: water = 50:50 v/v) and subjected to LC/MS
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	analysis. The injection volume was 10 µl. For internal standards,
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-grade acetonitrile, methanol, and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	water were procured from Burdick & Jackson (Morristown, NJ). Mass
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	spectrometry-grade formic acid was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO).
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Calibration solution containing multiple calibrants in a solution of
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	acetonitrile, trifluroacetic acid, and water was purchased from Agilent
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Technologies (Santa Clara, CA). Metabolites and internal standards, including
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	N-acetyl Aspartic acid-d3, Tryptophan-15N2, Sarcosine-d3, Glutamic acid-d5,
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Thymine-d4, Gibberellic acid, Trans-Zeatine, Jasmonic acid, 15N Anthranilic
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	acid, and Testosterone-d3, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO).
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Three LC- MS methods were used to separate metabolites. Method A: In ESI
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	positive mode the HPLC column was waters X-bridge amide 3.5 µm, 4.6 x 100 mm
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	(Waters, Milford, MA). Mobile phase A and B were 0.1% formic acid in water and
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	acetonitrile, respectively. Gradient flow: 0-3 min 85% B; 3-12 min 30% B, 12-15
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	min 2% B, 16 min 95%B, followed by re-equilibration till the end of the gradient
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	23 min to the initial starting condition of 85% B. Flow rate of the solvents
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	used for the analysis is 0.3 ml/min. Injection volume was 10 µL. Method B: In
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	ESI negative mode the HPLC column was waters X-bridge amide 3.5 µm, 4.6 x 100
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	mm (Waters, Milford, MA). Mobile phase A and B were 20 mM ammonium acetate in
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	water with pH 9.0 and 100% acetonitrile, respectively. Gradient flow: 0-3 min
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	85% B, 3-12 min 30% B, 12-15 min 2% B, 15-16 min 85% B followed by
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	re-equilibration till the end of the gradient 23 min to the initial starting
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	condition of 85% B. Flow rate of the solvents used for analysis is 0.3 ml/min.
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Injection volume was 10 µL. Method C: In ESI positive mode the HPLC column was
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Luna 3 µM NH2 100 A0 Chromatography column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA). Mobile
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	phase A and B were 20 mM ammonium acetate in water with pH 9.0 and 100%
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	acetonitrile, respectively. Gradient flow: 0-3 min 85% B, 3-12 min 30% B, 12-15
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	min 2% B, 15-16 min 85% B followed by re-equilibration till the end of the
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	gradient 23 min to the initial starting condition of 85% B. Flow rate of the
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	solvents used for analysis is 0.3 ml/min. Injection volume was 10 µL. For data
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	acquisition through LC/MS analysis, 10 µL of suspended samples were injected
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	and analyzed using a 6495 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Agilent
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) coupled to a HPLC system (Agilent Technologies,
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Santa Clara, CA) via Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Source parameters were
