| Study Title | A metabolic atlas of mouse aging |
| Study Summary | Humans are living longer, but this is accompanied by an increased incidence of age-related chronic diseases. Many of these diseases are influenced by age-associated metabolic dysregulation, but how metabolism changes in multiple organs during aging in males and females is not known. Answering this could reveal new mechanisms of aging and age-targeted therapeutics. In this study, we describe how metabolism changes in 12 organs in male and female mice at 5 different ages. Organs show distinct patterns of metabolic aging that are affected by sex differently. Hydroxyproline shows the most consistent change across the dataset, decreasing with age in 11 out of 12 organs investigated. We also developed a metabolic aging clock that predicts biological age and identified alpha-ketoglutarate, previously shown to extend lifespan in mice, as a key predictor of age. Our results reveal fundamental insights into the aging process and identify new therapeutic targets to maintain organ health. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO003300 |
| Collection Summary: | We purchased male and virgin female C57BL/6NCrl mice from Charles River (RRID:IMSR_CRL:027) and housed them at USC. Mice were housed under identical conditions at both Charles River and USC (12 hr/12 hr light dark cycle) and fed the same diet ad libitum (NIH-31 diet). The 1-month-old, 3-month-old, and 18-month-old mice were kept at USC for one week before harvesting. The 21-month-old and 24-month-old mice arrived aged 18 months and were aged at USC for the remaining 3 months and 6 months respectively. All tissues were collected beginning at 3 pm on each day of harvest. We used 4% isoflurane to anaesthetize the mice. We then weighed the mice and collected blood via cardiac puncture into EDTA collection tubes and placed them on ice. We then collected organs in the following order: heart, thymus, lungs, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidney, bladder, quadriceps muscle, tongue, and brain. The organs were immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until metabolite extraction. Organ collection finished by 5 pm. All animal care and procedures were approved by the USC Department of Animal Research. |

Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP003314 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | To obtain plasma, we centrifuged EDTA-tubes containing blood at 4°C at 2,000 g for 15 minutes. We collected supernatants and added 20 μL to 80 μL 100% LC-grade methanol. For tissue homogenization, we put tissue samples in 10 μL ice-cold 4:1 LC-grade Methanol:Ultrapure-water per mg tissue and homogenized them using a bead homogenizer (Bead Mill 4, Fisherbrand). We centrifuged plasma supernatants and tissue homogenates at 4°C at 21,300 g for 10 minutes and collected the metabolite-containing supernatants. We dried down 100 μL of supernatant from each sample (equivalent to 10 mg of tissue) using a vacuum centrifuge and stored them at -80°C until further processing. Dried supernatants reconstituted in 50ul of LC-grade Methanol: Ultrapure-water mix (1:1) and then analyzed using the Agilent 1290 Infinity II LC –6470 Triple Quadrupole (QqQ) tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS). |
