Dietary-Induced Bacterial Metabolites Reduce Inflammation and Inflammation-Associated Cancer via Vitamin D Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Environmental factors, including westernised diets and alterations to the gut microbiota, are considered risk factors for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The mechanisms underpinning diet-microbiota-host interactions are poorly understood in IBD. We present evidence that feeding a lard-based high-fat (HF) diet can protect mice from developing DSS-induced acute and chronic colitis and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) by significantly reducing tumour burden/incidence, immune cell infiltration, cytokine profile, and cell proliferation. We show that HF protection was associated with increased gut microbial diversity and a significant reduction in Proteobacteria and an increase in Firmicutes and Clostridium cluster XIVa abundance. Microbial functionality was modulated in terms of signalling fatty acids and bile acids (BA). Faecal secondary BAs were significantly induced to include moieties that can activate the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a nuclear receptor richly represented in the intestine and colon. Indeed, colonic VDR downstream target genes were upregulated in HF-fed mice and in combinatorial lipid-BAs-treated intestinal HT29 epithelial cells. Collectively, our data indicate that HF diet protects against colitis and CAC risk through gut microbiota and BA metabolites modulating vitamin D targeting pathways. Our data highlights the complex relationship between dietary fat-induced alterations of microbiota-host interactions in IBD/CAC pathophysiology.

Project description:BackgroundObesity is associated with inflammation but the role of vitamin D in this process is not clear.ObjectivesWe aimed to assess the associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], BMI, and 16 inflammatory biomarkers, and to assess the role of vitamin D as a potential mediator in the association between higher BMI and inflammation.MethodsNorthern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966) 31-y data on 3586 individuals were analyzed to examine the observational associations between BMI, 25(OH)D, and 16 inflammatory biomarkers. Multivariable regression analyses and 2-sample regression-based Mendelian randomization (MR) mediation analysis were performed to assess any role of vitamin D in mediating a causal effect of BMI on inflammatory biomarkers [soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP)] for which observational associations were detected. For MR, genome-wide association study summary results ranging from 5163 to 806,834 individuals were used for biomarkers, 25(OH)D, and BMI. Findings were triangulated with a literature review of vitamin D supplementation trials.ResultsIn NFBC1966, mean BMI (kg/m2) was 24.8 (95% CI: 24.7, 25.0) and mean 25(OH)D was 50.3 nmol/L (95% CI: 49.8, 50.7 nmol/L). Inflammatory biomarkers correlated as 4 independent clusters: interleukins, adhesion molecules, acute-phase proteins, and chemokines. BMI was positively associated with 9 inflammatory biomarkers and inversely with 25(OH)D (false discovery rate < 0.05). 25(OH)D was inversely associated with sICAM-1, hs-CRP, and AGP, which were positively associated with BMI. The MR analyses showed causal association of BMI on these 3 inflammatory biomarkers. There was no observational or MR evidence that circulating 25(OH)D concentrations mediated the association between BMI and these 3 inflammatory markers. Review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) supported our findings showing no impact of vitamin D supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers.ConclusionsThe findings from our observational study and causal MR analyses, together with data from RCTs, do not support a beneficial role of vitamin D supplementation on obesity-related inflammation.

Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the precise mechanisms of ketamine is crucial for replicating its rapid antidepressant effects without inducing psychomimetic changes. Here, we explore whether the antidepressant-like effects of ketamine enantiomers are underscored by protection against cytokine-induced reductions in hippocampal neurogenesis and activation of the neurotoxic kynurenine pathway in our well-established in vitro model of depression in a dish.MethodsWe used the fetal hippocampal progenitor cell line (HPC0A07/03C) to investigate ketamine's impact on cytokine-induced reductions in neurogenesis in vitro. Cells were treated with interleukin- 1beta (IL-1b) (10 ng/mL) or IL-6 (50 pg/mL), alone or in combination with ketamine enantiomers arketamine (R-ketamine, 400 nM) or esketamine (S-ketamine, 400 nM) or antidepressants sertraline (1 mM) or venlafaxine (1 mM).ResultsResembling the effect of antidepressants, both ketamine enantiomers prevented IL-1b- and IL-6-induced reduction in neurogenesis and increase in apoptosis. This was mediated by inhibition of IL-1b-induced production of IL-2 and IL-13 by R-ketamine and of IL-1b-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha by S-ketamine. Likewise, R-ketamine inhibited IL-6-induced production of IL-13, whereas S-ketamine inhibited IL-6-induced IL-1b and IL-8. Moreover, both R- and S-ketamine prevented IL-1b-induced increases in indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase expression as well as kynurenine production, which in turn was shown to mediate the detrimental effects of IL-1b on neurogenesis and apoptosis. In contrast, neither R- nor S-ketamine prevented IL-6-induced kynurenine pathway activation.ConclusionsResults suggest that R- and S-ketamine have pro-neurogenic and anti-inflammatory properties; however, this is mediated by inhibition of the kynurenine pathway only in the context of IL-1b. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying ketamine's antidepressant effects in the context of different inflammatory phenotypes, ultimately leading to the development of more effective, personalized therapeutic approaches for patients suffering from depression.
