项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mitochondrial (MT) dysfunction is a factor in numerous chronic diseases and the toxicity related to environmental exposures, but early deficits in MT function are difficult to detect. Current clinical markers for mitochondrial dysfunction typically detect only advanced symptoms of tissue injury and disease, yet the sensitivity to detect mild MT dysfunction and heterogeneity within tissue has hampered robust identification of meaningful biomarkers at early stages. Mitochondrial biology is variable; and chronic, low level MT dysfunction may be below the detection sensitivity of many techniques. As a result there is the need of new tools to enhance the mechanistic understanding of environmentally-induced mitochondrial toxicity at early stages to enable prevention and intervention. To address this problem, this team of investigators has developed and applied a new technology for single cell mass spectrometry, called Nanostructure-Initiator Mass Spectrometry (NIMS). NIMS has both the single cell resolution (1-10 5m) and the high sensitivity (attomolar) needed to detect early biomarkers of MT dysfunction as metabolic "signatures" in individual cells. NIMS offers a number of advantages over standard mass spectrometry, including (1) ultra-high sensitivity, (2) high selectivity, and (3) single cell resolution to reduce sample complexity. NIMS will be applied to identify metabolic signatures for early MT dysfunction in the brain and blood of diseased animals or animals treated with environmental toxins at "subclinical" levels. In Specific Aim 1, NIMS will be employed to generate metabolic signatures for MT decline. In Specific Aim 2, an activity test will be used to see whether the biomarker reflects functional changes in MT or MT within the context of the cell. NIMS can be applied to any tissue and any cell type, to quantitatively sort out complex changes that occur in dynamic cellular environments, and minimizes the inherent system heterogeneity that has confounded efforts in detecting meaningful markers of MT decline. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a factor in numerous chronic diseases and environmental exposures, but early deficits in MT function are difficult to detect. To address this problem, we have developed and applied a new technology for single cell mass spectrometry, called NIMS. NIMS has both single cell resolution and the high sensitivity needed to detect early biomarkers of MT dysfunction, and will be used to define "signatures" of early MT dysfunction in single cells. Thus, NIMS technology reduces system heterogeneity, has the high sensitivity needed for detecting meaningful metabolic markers of early MT decline, and the ability to spatially assign signatures in distinct cell types. We apply NIMS identify the effects of oxidative damage in the brain, blood and urine in animal models.

描述（由申请人提供）：线粒体（MT）功能障碍是多种慢性疾病和与环境暴露有关的毒性的一个因素，但很难检测到MT功能的早期缺陷。线粒体功能障碍的当前临床标志物通常仅检测组织损伤和疾病的晚期症状，但是在组织内检测到轻度MT功能障碍和异质性的敏感性阻碍了早期阶段对有意义的生物标志物的强大识别。线粒体生物学是可变的。慢性，低水平的MT功能障碍可能低于许多技术的检测灵敏度。结果，需要新的工具来增强对环境引起的线粒体毒性的机械理解，以实现预防和干预。为了解决这个问题，该研究人员团队已开发并应用了一种新技术来用于单细胞质谱法，称为纳米结构 - 引导剂质谱法（NIMS）。 NIMS具有单细胞分辨率（1-10 5M），并且需要在单个细胞中检测MT功能障碍的早期生物标志物作为代谢“特征”所需的高灵敏度（Attomolor）。 NIMS比标准质谱法具有许多优势，包括（1）超高灵敏度，（2）高选择性和（3）单细胞分辨率，以降低样品复杂性。 NIMS将用于鉴定大脑早期功能障碍的代谢特征，以及在“亚临床”水平上用环境毒素治疗的患病动物或动物的血液。在特定的目标1中，NIMS将被用来产生代谢签名以减少MT的下降。在特定的目标2中，将使用活动测试来查看生物标志物是否反映了细胞背景下MT或MT的功能变化。 NIM可以应用于任何组织和任何细胞类型，以定量整理动态细胞环境中发生的复杂变化，并最大程度地减少固有的系统异质性，这使人们对检测有意义的MT下降标志物进行了混淆。公共卫生相关性：线粒体功能障碍是许多慢性疾病和环境暴露的因素，但是很难检测到MT功能的早期缺陷。为了解决这个问题，我们已经开发了一种新技术来用于单细胞质谱法，称为NIMS。 NIMS具有单细胞分辨率，也具有检测MT功能障碍的早期生物标志物所需的高灵敏度，并将用于定义单个细胞中早期MT功能障碍的“特征”。因此，NIMS技术降低了系统的异质性，具有检测早期MT下降的有意义的代谢标记所需的高灵敏度，以及在不同细胞类型中分配签名的能力。我们应用NIMS在动物模型中识别大脑，血液和尿液中氧化损伤的影响。
