Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA; 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol) is a well-known endocrine disruptor. Most human exposure to BPA occurs through the consumption of BPA-contaminated foods. Cardiovascular or cardiometabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, acute kidney disease, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure are the leading causes of death worldwide. Positive associations have been reported between blood or urinary BPA levels and cardiovascular or cardiometabolic diseases. BPA also induces disorders or dysfunctions in the tissues associated with these diseases through various cell signaling pathways. This review highlights the literature elucidating the relationship between BPA and various cardiovascular or cardiometabolic diseases and the potential mechanisms underlying BPA-mediated disorders or dysfunctions in tissues such as blood vessels, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, kidney, and heart that are associated with these diseases.

Abstract
Lipids and metabolites are small biological molecules that act major roles in cellular functions. Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) are a highly beneficial three-dimensional cellular model for cancer research due to their ability to imitate numerous characteristics of tumor tissues. Increasing studies have performed spatial lipidomics and metabolomics in MCTS using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). However, these approaches often lack the sensitivity and specificity to offer a comprehensive characterization of lipids and metabolites within MCTS. In this study, we addressed this challenge by utilizing MALDI combined with laser-induced postionization (MALDI-2) and trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) imaging in H295R adrenocortical MCTS. Our results showed that MALDI-2 could detect more lipids and metabolites in MCTS than the traditional MALDI. TIMS data revealed a successful separation of many isomeric and isobaric ions of lipids and metabolites with different locations (e.g., proliferative region and necrotic region) within MCTS, suggesting an enhanced peak capacity for spatial lipidomics and metabolomics. To further identify these isomeric and isobaric ions, we performed MS/MS imaging experiments to compare the differences in signal intensities and spatial distributions of product ions. Our data highlight the strong potential of MALDI-2 and TIMS imaging for analyzing lipids and metabolites in MCTS, which may serve as valuable tools for numerous fields of biological and medical research.

Abstract
The metabolic responses of organism to external stimuli are characterized by the multicellular- and multiorgan-based synergistic regulation. Network analysis is a powerful tool to investigate this multiscale interaction. The imaging mass spectrometry (iMS)-based spatial omics provides multidimensional and multiscale information, thus offering the possibility of network analysis to investigate metabolic response of organism to environmental stimuli. We present iMS dataset-sourced multiscale network (iMS2Net) strategy to uncover prenatal environmental pollutant (PM2.5)-induced metabolic responses in the scales of cell and organ from metabolite abundances and metabolite-metabolite interaction using mouse fetal model, including metabotypic similarity, metabolic vulnerability, metabolic co-variability and metabolic diversity within and between organs. Furthermore, network-based analysis results confirm close associations between lipid metabolites and inflammatory cytokine release. This networking methodology elicits particular advantages for modeling the dynamic and adaptive processes of organism under environmental stresses or pathophysiology and provides molecular mechanism to guide the occurrence and development of systemic diseases.

Metabolomic Profiling Analysis of Physiological Responses to Acute Hypoxia and Reoxygenation in Juvenile Qingtian Paddy Field Carp Cyprinus Carpio Var Qingtianensis. Front Physiol 2022; 13:853850. [PMID: 35669576 PMCID: PMC9163826 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.853850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The Qingtian paddy field carp (Cyprinus carpio var qingtianensis) is a local carp cultivated in the rice field of Qingtian county, Zhejiang province, China. The paddy field environment is distinct from the pond environment. Due to the inability to artificially increase oxygen, the dissolved oxygen greatly changes during the day. Therefore, investigating the physiological regulation to the changes of acute dissolved oxygen in Qingtian paddy field carp (PF-carp) will dramatically clarify how it adapts to the paddy breeding environment. The high tolerance of Qingtian paddy field carp to hypoxia makes it an ideal organism for studying molecular regulatory mechanisms during hypoxia process and reoxygenation following hypoxia in fish. In this study, we compared the changes of metabolites in the hepatopancreas during hypoxia stress and the following reoxygenation through comparative metabolomics. The results showed 131 differentially expressed metabolites between the hypoxic groups and control groups. Among them, 95 were up-regulated, and 36 were down-regulated. KEGG Pathway enrichment analysis showed that these differential metabolites were mainly involved in regulating lipid, protein, and purine metabolism PF-carps could require energy during hypoxia by enhancing the gluconeogenesis pathway with core glutamic acid and glutamine metabolism. A total of 63 differentially expressed metabolites were screened by a comparison between the reoxygenated groups and the hypoxic groups. Specifically, 15 were up-regulated, and 48 were down-regulated. The KEGG Pathway enrichment analysis supported that PF-carp could continue to gain energy by consuming glutamic acid and the glutamine accumulated during hypoxia and simultaneously weaken the ammonia-transferring effect of amino acids and the toxicity of ammonia. By consuming glycerophospholipids and maintaining the Prostaglandin E content, cell damage was improved, sphingosinol synthesis was reduced, and apoptosis was inhibited. Additionally, it could enhance the salvage synthesis and de novo synthesis of purine, reduce purine accumulation, promote the synthesis of nucleotide and energy carriers, and assist in recovering physiological metabolism. Overall, results explained the physiological regulation mechanism of PF-carp adapting to the acute changes of dissolved oxygen at the metabolic level and also provided novel evidence for physiological regulation of other fish in an environment with acute changes in dissolved oxygen levels.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been applied for label-free three-dimensional (3D) imaging from position array across the whole organism, which provides high-dimensional quantitative data of inorganic or organic compounds that may play an important role in the regulation of cellular signaling, including metals, metabolites, lipids, drugs, peptides, and proteins. While MSI is suitable for investigation of the spatial distribution of molecules, it has a limitation with visualization and quantification of multiple molecules. 3D-MSI, however, can be applied toward exploring metabolic pathway as well as the interactions of lipid-protein, protein-protein, and metal-protein in complex systems from subcellular to the whole organism through an untargeted methodology. In this review, we highlight the methods and applications of MS-based 3D imaging to address the complexity of molecular interaction from nano- to micrometer lateral resolution, with particular focus on: (a) common and hybrid 3D-MSI techniques; (b) quantitative MSI methodology, including the methods using a stable isotope labeling internal standard (SILIS) and SILIS-free approaches with tissue extinction coefficient or virtual calibration; (c) reconstruction of the 3D organ; (d) application of 3D-MSI for biomarker screening and environmental toxicological research. 3D-MSI quantitative analysis provides accurate spatial information and quantitative variation of biomolecules, which may be valuable for the exploration of the molecular mechanism of the disease progresses and toxicological assessment of environmental pollutants in the whole organism. Additionally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives on the future of 3D quantitative MSI.

Abstract
Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is considered to be associated with the increased incidence of breast cancer. As a widespread replacement of BPA, the effect of bisphenol S (BPS) on breast tumor programming has not been studied. We reported that BPS exposure significantly promoted proliferation and deterioration of breast tumor by nonmonotonic dose response. The mechanisms were investigated by molecular biology and mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, proteomics and imaging. BPS exposure induced the spatially intratumor heterogeneity of morphology-driven lipids and proteins. The more significant proliferation resulted from BPS-10 (10 μg/kg body weight /day) exposure was evidenced by the variations of spatial distribution of lipids related to ceramide-sphingomyelin signaling pathway, proteins related to chromosomal stability and cell proliferation in central necrotic regions of breast tumor. In contrast, the BPS-100 exposure obviously accelerated deterioration of breast tumor by the variations of spatial distribution of proteins that were associated with the stability of nucleic acid structure in peripheral neoplastic regions. Accordingly, dysregulation of metabolism and protein function as well as DNA methylation and hypoxic tumor microenvironment could be applied to predict the possibility of tumorigenesis, proliferation and metastasis that might be caused by other bisphenol analogs.

Abstract
Rotaxane dendrimers with hyperbranched macromolecular interlocked structures and size modulation capacity demonstrate drug binding and release ability upon external stimuli. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) can offer the high-throughput screening of endogenous/exogenous compounds. Herein, we reported a novel method to display the in situ spatial distribution of label-free monodispersed type III rotaxane dendrimers (RDs) G1 (first generation, size ∼1.5 nm) and G2 (second generation, size ∼5 nm) that were explored as potential drug vehicles in spleen tissue by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-MSI). Experimental results indicated that the trans-2-[3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenylidene]malononitrile (DCTB) matrix exhibited the best performance for monodispersed type III RDs G1 and G2. The optimized method was successfully applied to map the in vivo spatial distribution of type III RDs G1 and G2 in the spleen from intraperitoneally injected mice. The MALDI-MSI images revealed that RDs G1 and G2 were relatively stable in the spleen within 24 h after administration. It was found that the identified type III RDs G1 and G2 penetrated through the tunica serosa and were predominantly localized in red pulp regions of spleens. They were also mapped in a marginal zone of spleens simultaneously. There was almost no toxicity of type III RDs G1 and G2 to mice spleens from the H&E results. Furthermore, the type III RDs did not induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or THP-1 monocytes. The MSI analysis not only demonstrated its ability to image select rotaxane dendrimers in a rapid and efficient manner but also provided tremendous assistance on the applications of the further treatment of cancerous tissue as safe drug carriers. Furthermore, the new strategy demonstrated in this study could be applied on other label-free mechanically interlocked molecules, molecular machines, and macromolecules, which opened a new path to evaluate the toxicological and pharmacokinetic characteristics of these novel materials at the suborgan level.

Abstract
Increasing studies have utilized mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) that is a label-free tool to investigate drug penetration and drug biotransformation in multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS). Currently, the gelatin-assisted sectioning method is widely used to prepare frozen sections of MCTS for MSI. However, owing to the limited transparency of frozen gelatin, MCTS with diameters less than 500 μm that closely mimic solid tumors are difficult to be detected when cryosectioning. In order to identify the presence of MCTS, hematoxylin and eosin staining for frozen sections and dye pretreatment for MCTS were employed in previous works, which either increased the analytical time and cost in sample preparation or caused signal suppression in sample analysis. Herein, a new sectioning method was developed to prepare MCTS frozen sections. MCTS was coated with ice to ensure good visibility for small-size MCTS. The optimal cutting temperature compound was added around the ice block to assist the formation of frozen sections. A precast frozen mold was prepared to allow the acquisition of complete MCTS frozen sections. The developed method was applied to investigate lipid distribution in MCTS by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MSI. Compared to the gelatin-assisted sectioning method, our method did not cause signal suppression and analyte delocalization. Thus, this method provides an easy, universal, and innovative strategy to prepare MCTS frozen sections for further MSI analysis. Besides, we applied our method to investigate the penetration of bisphenol A in MCTS.

features that are unresolved on lower performance instrumentation.
Higher magnetic field strength improves all performance characteristics
of FT-ICR; mass resolving power improves linearly, while mass accuracy
and dynamic range improve quadratically with magnetic field strength.
Here, MALDI MSI at 21T is demonstrated for the first time: mass resolving
power in excess of 1 600 000 (at m/z 400), root-mean-square mass measurement accuracy below
100 ppb, and dynamic range per pixel over 500:1 were obtained from
the direct analysis of biological tissue sections. Molecular features
with m/z differences as small as
1.79 mDa were resolved and identified with high mass accuracy. These
features allow for the separation and identification of lipids to
the underlying structures of tissues. The unique molecular detail,
accuracy, sensitivity, and dynamic range combined in a 21T MALDI FT-ICR
MSI experiment enable researchers to visualize molecular structures
in complex tissues that have remained hidden until now. The instrument
described allows for future innovative, such as high-end studies to
unravel the complexity of biological, geological, and engineered organic
material surfaces with an unsurpassed detail.
