| Study Title | Untargeted metabolomics of the colon tissues from TIGARf/f mice and TIGARf/fVil1-Cre mice |
| Study Summary | In a previous untargeted metabolomics study, we observed significant accumulation of 6-phosphogluconate (6-PG) and elevated lactate levels in TIGAR-knockout HT-29 cells. To investigate whether this metabolic phenotype is conserved in vivo, we employed an intestinal epithelial cell–specific TIGAR knockout mouse model. TIGARf/f mice, harboring loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the TIGAR locus, were crossed with Villin1-Cre (Vil1-Cre) transgenic mice to generate TIGARf/fVil1-Cre mice with conditional deletion of TIGAR in the intestinal epithelium. Colon tissues (∼25 mg,n = 3 biological replicates per group) were collected from TIGARf/f mice and TIGARf/fVil1-Cre mice. Strikingly, levels of both 6-PG and lactate were significantly elevated in the colonic tissues of TIGARf/fVil1-Cre mice compared to controls. These results demonstrate that TIGAR plays a critical and conserved role in regulating glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway metabolism in the intestinal epithelium in vivo. |

| Project Title: | TIGAR Regulates Intestinal Mucus Barrier Integrity by Inhibiting Lactylation of G6PD/6PGD in Ulcerative Colitis |
| Project Summary: | Oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation in goblet cells represent significant contributors to the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). TIGAR (TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator) plays a critical role as a metabolic regulatory enzyme by promoting NADPH synthesis, thereby counteracting oxidative stress. However, the precise mechanisms through which TIGAR regulates NADPH synthesis and its impact on UC remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that TIGAR inhibits the lactylation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), both pivotal enzymes in the NADPH biosynthesis pathway, hence preserving their enzymatic activities. We further identify specific lactylation sites at lysine 432 (K432) in G6PD and lysine 38 (K38) in 6PGD. Lactylation modifications impact the formation of G6PD homodimers and the binding of 6PGD with NADP+. In male UC mice, persistently low TIGAR expression results in elevated lactic acid levels, which enhance the lactylation of G6PD and 6PGD, inhibit NADPH synthesis, and exacerbate oxidative stress in goblet cells. Consequently, these alterations lead to a reduction in thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) reductase activity, inducing S-nitrosylation of anterior gradient homolog 2 (AGR2), a key enzyme involved in MUC2 modification, thus impeding mature MUC2 production and compromising the integrity of the intestinal mucus barrier. Overall, our study elucidates the critical mechanisms by which TIGAR regulates NADPH synthesis, provides novel insights into how TIGAR maintains cellular redox homeostasis, and offers experimental evidence for considering TIGAR as a potential target for UC therapy. |

| Collection ID: | CO004666 |
| Collection Summary: | TIGARf/f mice have two lox sites on both sides of exon 2 in the TIGAR locus. Floxed mice were crossed with Vil1-Cre mice to obtain tissue-specific knockout of TIGAR. the mice were subjected to a 12-hour fasting period before treatment. Following euthanasia by cervical dislocation, a 2-cm segment of the distal colon was collected and immediately flushed on ice with ice-cold, sterile PBS to remove luminal contents. The tissue was then rapidly snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and subsequently stored at −80 °C. |

Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004679 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | 25 mg of colon tissue was weighed and mixed with 750 μL of pre-chilled 80% methanol for mouse colon samples. A low-temperature tissue grinder was utilized to homogenize the tissue for 60 seconds at -20°C, with a 30-second pause, repeated three times. The resulting homogenates from cells and colons were transferred and incubated at -20°C for 60 minutes. Subsequently, samples were centrifuged at 18,410 x g for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation, dried under a nitrogen gas, reconstituted, and centrifuged again to obtain the supernatant for subsequent analysis. A 20 μL aliquot from each sample was combined to prepare a quality control (QC) mixture for mass spectrometry analyses. |

| MS Comments: | The MS parameters for detection were: ESI source voltage 3.0 kV in negative ion scanning mode with scan range of m/z 70-1050 for mass spectrometry scanning, full scanning resolution of 120000, and MS2 scanning resolution of 60000, the top four precursor ions were broken up with the higher energy collisional dissociation cell in MS2 set to 30% normalized collision energy. the sheath gas was set at 60 arbitrary units, the auxiliary gas was set at 20 arbitrary units, and the blow air flow rate of 2Arb; the ion transport tube was set to 380°C; the vaporizer temperature of the ion source was set to 350°C. Software tools Xcalibur 4.3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Compound Discover 3.3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used for data processing and analyzing.Retention time alignment across all samples was achieved using the ChromeAlign node, with a pooled quality control (QC) sample serving as the reference. The pooled QC sample was prepared by combining equal aliquots from all biological samples. It was injected repeatedly—once every 10 analytical runs—to monitor instrument stability, enable batch effect correction, and support data normalization. Putative metabolite features were detected and grouped across all samples using the following key parameters (all other settings remained at default values): minimum peak intensity threshold of 1 × 10⁵ (area under the curve); mass tolerance of 5 ppm; retention time tolerance of 0.25 min; ionization modes limited to [M – H]⁻; and peak rating filter set to 4. Missing values were imputed using the built-in “Fill Gap” function, configured with a mass tolerance of 5 ppm and a signal-to-noise ratio threshold of 1.5. Metabolite identification was carried out through a tiered annotation strategy. Matching of both accurate mass (±5 ppm) and retention time (±0.5 min) to an in-house spectral library generated from authentic commercial standards, or spectral matching against the mzCloud database (https://www.mzcloud.org/) and mzVault database using MS/MS fragmentation data, with precursor and fragment mass tolerances of 10 ppm and a minimum match factor of 50. |
