Project description:It has been proposed that endogenously formed N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) are partly responsible for the link between red meat consumption and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. As nitrite has been indicated as one of the critical factors in the formation of endogenous NOCs, it is of high importance to replace or reduce the nitrite levels in meat. Therefore, the PHYTOME project was initiated (Phytochemicals to reduce nitrite in meat products; www.phytome.eu), an EU funded research project aiming to develop innovative meat products in which the food additive sodium nitrite (E251) has been replaced by natural compounds originating from fruits and vegetables. A human dietary intervention study was conducted in which healthy subjects consumed 300 grams of meat for two weeks, in subsequent order: normal processed red meat, white meat, and red processed meat with standard or reduced levels of nitrite and added phytochemicals. Consumption of standard-nitrite PHYTOME meat products leads to a significant reduction in Apparent Total N-nitroso Compounds (ATNC) levels in faecal water, a surrogate marker of endogenously formed NOCs, as compared to the consumption of conventional processed red meat products. A reduction of nitrite in the PHYTOME meat lowered these levels even further. In addition, DNA strand breaks induced in ex-vivo faecal water exposed Caco-2 cells and O6-methyl-guanine adducts levels in colonic DNA were significantly higher after consumption of normal processed red meat as compared to white meat intake. PHYTOME meat intake resulted in reduced levels of these genotoxic markers, however, these were not statistically significant. Whole genome gene expression analyses in colonic tissue identified differentially expressed genes and genes associated with ATNC, which are related to molecular pathways which may explain cancer risk initiation after intake of processed red meat and cancer risk prevention after intake of the PHYTOME meat. Together these results indicate that addition of natural extracts to conventional processed red meat products results in reduced endogenous formation of NOCs, and may therefore contribute to a reduced risk of CRC, which is mechanistically supported by gene expression analyses.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is strongly affected by diet, with red and processed meat increasing risk. To understand the role of microbiome in this phenomenon and to identify specific microbiome/metabolomics profiles associated with CRC risk, will be studied: 1) healthy volunteers fed for 3 months with: a high-CRC risk diet (meat-based MBD), a normalized CRC risk diet (MBD plus alpha-tocopherol, MBD-T), a low-CRC risk diet (pesco-vegetarian, PVD). At the beginning and at the end of the intervention, gut microbiome profiles (metagenomics and metabolomics), and CRC biomarkers (genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, peroxidation in faecal water; lipid/glycemic indexes, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress), 2) Colon carcinogenesis: the same diets will be fed (3 months) to carcinogen-induced rats or to Pirc rats, mutated in Apc, the key gene in CRC; faecal microbiome profiles, will be correlated to carcinogenesis measuring preneoplastic lesions, colon tumours, and faecal and blood CRC biomarkers as in humans; 3) To further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the effect of different microbiomes in determining CRC risk, faeces from rats fed the experimental diets will be transplanted into carcinogen-induced germ-free rats, measuring how microbiome changes correlate with metabolome and disease outcomes. The results will provide fundamental insight in the role of microbiome in determining the effect of the diet, in particular red/processed meat intake, on CRC risk

Project description:Snacking has been traditionally associated with consumption of carbohydrates- and fats-rich foods. Nevertheless, new dietary trends have modified the social perception and outcomes of this dietary habit promoting consumption of protein-rich foods. This study investigates the impact of food processing on the proteome of one of the most widely consumed meat snacks, beef jerky. We have performed discovery-driven proteome-wide analyses, which encountered a significantly elevated presence of reactive prooxidant post-translational modifications in jerky compared to unprocessed meat.

Project description:Red meat consumption is associated with an increased colon cancer risk. Heme, present in red meat, injures the colon surface epithelium by luminal cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species. This surface injury is overcompensated by hyperproliferation and hyperplasia of crypt cells. Transcriptome analysis of mucosa of heme-fed mice showed, besides stress- and proliferation-related genes, many upregulated lipid metabolism-related PPARM-NM-1 target genes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PPARM-NM-1 in heme-induced hyperproliferation and hyperplasia. Male PPARM-NM-1 KO and WT mice received a purified diet with or without heme. As PPARM-NM-1 is proposed to protect against oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, we hypothesized that the absence of PPARM-NM-1 leads to more surface injury and crypt hyperproliferation in the colon upon heme-feeding. Heme induced luminal cytotoxicity and lipid peroxidation and colonic hyperproliferation and hyperplasia to the same extent in WT and KO mice. Transcriptome analysis of colonic mucosa confirmed similar heme-induced hyperproliferation in WT and KO mice. Stainings for alkaline phosphatase activity and expression levels of Vanin-1 and Nrf2-targets indicated a compromised antioxidant defense in heme-fed KO mice. Our results suggest that the protective role of PPARM-NM-1 in antioxidant defense involves the Nrf2-inhibitor Fosl1, which is upregulated by heme in PPARM-NM-1 KO mice. We conclude that PPARM-NM-1 plays a protective role in colon against oxidative stress, but PPARM-NM-1 does not mediate heme-induced hyperproliferation. This implies that oxidative stress of surface cells is not the main determinant of heme-induced hyperproliferation and hyperplasia. Wild type and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARM-NM-1) knockout mice were fed a Westernized high fat diet, or the same diet supplemented with 0.5 M-BM-5mol heme/g diet. After 14 days of intervention, mice were killed and gene expression was profiled in colon.

Project description:Interventions: In the virtual supermarket, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following conditions:
(i)Meat tax condition. In this condition, the taxation of meat results in an 30% price increase at the consumer/food purchase level. A price increase of 30% for meat through a tax could lead to a net societal benefit for the Netherlands (Broeks, M.J., Biesbroek, S., Over, E.A.B. et al. A social cost-benefit analysis of meat taxation and a fruit and vegetables subsidy for a healthy and sustainable food consumption in the Netherlands. BMC Public Health 20, 643 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-08590-z). In this condition participants will be informed about the meat tax to reflect a realistic situation.
(ii)Information condition. In this condition, participants will receive an informative message about the impact of meat consumption on the planet before entering the Virtual Supermarket. Participants are informed to illustrate a informative policy.
(iii)Meat tax and information condition. In this condition, the taxation of meat results in an 30% price increase at the consumer/food purchase level and participants will receive an informative message about the impact of meat consumption on the planet before entering the Virtual Supermarket. In this condition, participants will be informed about the meat tax to reflect a realistic situation.
(iv)Control condition. In this condition, regular prices will be used. The control condition will also be used for the purpose of another randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax on consumer purchases (NL8616).

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most prevelant malignancy in Europe and diet is an important modifiable risk factor. Processed meat consumption, including meats with preservative salts such as sodium nitrite, have been implicated in CRC pathogenesis. This study investigated how the CRC pathology and metabolic status of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) multiple intestinal neoplasia (min) mice was perturbed following 8 weeks of pork meat consumption.Dietary inclusions (15%) of either nitrite-free pork, nitrite-free sausage or nitrite-containing sausage (frankfurter) were compared against a parallel control group (100% chow). Comprehensive studies investigated: gastrointestinal tract histology (tumours, aberant crypt foci (ACF) and mucin deplin foci (MDF), lipid peroxidation (urine and serum), faecal microbiota and serum metabolomics (599 metabolites).

Project description:Improvement of feed efficiency would increase profitability of the poultry industries by decreasing the amount of feed required for production. Korat (KR) chicken is a new alternative meat-type chicken breed which its meat is recognized for its high protein, low fat and low purine content, whereas its low feed efficiency leads to high cost of production. Deeper understanding on how feed efficiency influences meat quality is poorly elucidated. To fulfill deeper understand molecular key that point the variation in feed efficiency and meat quality, the aim of this study was to investigate molecular pathways and genes involved in feed efficiency and meat quality in thigh of slow-growing KR chicken. A total of 75 males KR chicken were reared in individual cage until 10 weeks of age. Individual feed intake and body weight were collected weekly to calculate Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Residual Feed Intake (RFI). Meat quality parameters were measured in thigh muscles such as ultimate pH (pHu), water-holding capacity (WHC), drip loss (DL), nucleotides content and several biomolecules (amide, …). Base on extreme values of FCR at 10 weeks of ages, 12 birds from the high FCR group (HFCR) and 9 birds from the low FCR group (LFCR) were selected for investigating their transcriptome using an 8×60K Agilent chicken microarray. In addition, a weighted gene coexpression network analysis was performed to detect the relationship between modules of co-expressed genes and feed efficiency, meat quality in thigh muscle. The result in this study indicated that selection on feed efficiency (FCR, RFI) would affect flavor precursor, lipid and protein content in thigh muscle. Based on WGCNA and functional enrichment analysis, results suggested that the key molecular pathways relate to FCR, RFI and meat quality (WHC, DL, IMP, AMP and inosine) in thigh muscle were the pathways of regulation of biological process, biological regulation and regulation of metabolic. Moreover, we revealed four genes there are assembly competence domain (ACD) gene, baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) gene, cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 3 (COA3) gene and myosin light chain 9 (MYL9) gene that might be biomarker gene in feed efficiency and meat quality in thigh muscle. The hypothesis of the current study was alteration feed efficiency in slow-growing chicken will impact meat quality especially in term of texture and flavor.
