Dietary fiber inulin enables intestinal microbiome to clear fructose and protect the host

ABSTRACT: Excessive consumption of fructose leads to various cardiometabolic diseases. However, inulin, dietary fiber composed of numerous fructose molecules, exerts health-beneficial effects. Here we report that inulin shifts fructose catabolism from the host organs to gut microbiome, reversing fructose-induced hyperlipidemia, hepatic steatosis and systemic glucose intolerance. Both simultaneous and delayed inulin intake enhances fructose clearance by the small intestinal microbiome, effectively reducing fructose dose reaching the liver and colon and thus suppressing hepatic lipogenesis. Inulin also activates the hepatic de novo serine synthesis pathway and cystine uptake to augment glutathione production and reduce oxidative stress. This dual effect of inulin is blocked by antibiotics and transmittable by fecal transplantation. Moreover, inulin-enriched Bacteroides acidifaciens is protective against HFCS-induced lipogenesis. Our data provide mechanistic insights into how fructose-polymer fiber inulin rewires gut microbial fructose catabolism and protects the host from excessive fructose exposure, paving the way to mitigate fructose-induced metabolic disease.

A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of all cell types in the entire 5xFAD mouse brain in response to dietary inulin supplementation

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that becomes a major threat to the aging population. Due to lack of effective therapy, preventive treatments are important strategies to limit AD onset and progression, of which dietary patterns have been implicated as a key influencer. Diet with high fiber content is known to have beneficial effects on cognitive decline in AD. However, a global survey on brain cell dynamics in response to high fiber intake at single-cell resolution is still missing. Here, we show that dietary inulin supplementation synergized with AD progression to specifically increase the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila in gut microbiome of the 5x Familial AD (FAD) mice. By performing single-nucleus RNA sequencing on different regions of the whole brain with three independent biological replicates, we reveal region-specific changes in the proportion of neuron, astrocyte and granule cell subpopulations upon inulin supplementation in 5xFAD mice. Intriguingly, such dietary change only marginally alleviated astrogliosis and microgliosis, without affecting the amyloid-beta plaque burden. These results provide a comprehensive overview on the transcriptomic changes in individual cells of the entire mouse brain in response to high fiber intake, which provides a resourceful foundation for future mechanistic studies on related topics

An integrative multi-omics approach to characterize prebiotic inulin effects on Faecalibacterium prausnitzii

Project description:Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a major commensal bacterium in the human gut, is well known for its anti-inflammatory effects, which improve host intestinal health. Although several studies have reported that inulin, a well-known prebiotic, increases the abundance of F. prausnitzii in the intestine, the mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. In this study, we applied liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based multi-omics approaches to identify biological and enzymatic mechanisms of F. prausnitzii involved in the selective digestion of inulin. An LC-MS/MS-based intracellular proteomic and metabolic profiling was performed to determine the quantitative changes in specific proteins and metabolites of F. prausnitzii when grown on inulin. Interestingly, proteomic analysis revealed that the putative proteins involved in inulin-type fructan utilization by F. prausnitzii, particularly b-fructosidase and amylosucrase were upregulated in the presence of inulin. To investigate the function of these proteins, we overexpressed bfrA and ams, genes encoding beta-fructosidase and amylosucrase, respectively, in Escherichia coli, and observed their ability to degrade fructan. In addition, the enzyme activity assay demonstrated that intracellular fructan hydrolases degrade the inulin-type fructans taken up by fructan ATP-binding cassette transporters. Furthermore, we showed that the fructose uptake activity of F. prausnitzii was enhanced by the fructose phosphotransferase system transporter when inulin was used as a carbon source.

Knockdown of Ketohexokinase Versus Inhibition of Its Kinase Activity Exert Divergent Effects on Fructose Metabolism

Project description:Excessive fructose intake is a risk factor for the development of obesity and its complications. Targeting ketohexokinase (KHK), the first enzyme of fructose metabolism, has been investigated for the management of MASLD. We compared the effects of systemic, small molecule inhibitor of KHK enzymatic activity to hepatocyte-specific, GalNAc-siRNA mediated knockdown of KHK in mice on a HFD. We measured KHK enzymatic activity, extensively quantified glycogen accumulation, performed RNAseq analysis, and enumerated hepatic metabolites using mass spectrometry. Both KHK siRNA and KHK inhibitor led to an improvement in liver steatosis, however, via substantially different mechanisms. KHK knockdown decreased the de novo lipogenesis pathway, whereas the inhibitor increased the fatty acid oxidation pathway. Moreover, KHK knockdown completely prevented hepatic fructolysis and improved glucose tolerance. Conversely, the KHK inhibitor only partially reduced fructolysis, but it also targeted triokinase, mediating the third step of fructolysis. This leads to the accumulation of fructose-1 phosphate, resulting in glycogen accumulation, hepatomegaly, and impaired glucose tolerance. Overexpression of wild-type, but not kinase-dead KHK in cultured hepatocytes increased hepatocyte injury and glycogen accumulation when treated with fructose. The differences between KHK inhibition and knockdown are, in part, explained by the kinase-dependent and independent effects of KHK on hepatic metabolism.

Mechanisms preserving insulin action during high dietary fat intake in healthy men

Project description:Prolonged intervention studies investigating molecular metabolism are necessary for a deeper understanding of dietary effects on health. Here we provide mechanistic information about metabolic adaptation to fat-rich diets. Healthy men ingested saturated (SFA) or poly unsaturated (PUFA) fat-rich diets for six weeks during weight maintenance. Hyperinsulinemic clamps combined with leg balance technique revealed unchanged peripheral insulin sensitivity, independent of fatty acid type. Both diets increased fat oxidation potential in muscle. Hepatic insulin clearance increased, while glucose production, de novo lipogenesis and plasma triacylglycerol decreased. High fat intake changed the plasma proteome in immune-supporting direction and the gut microbiome displayed changes at taxonomical and functional level with PUFA. In mice, eucaloric feeding of human PUFA and SFA diets lowered hepatic triacylglycerol content compared to low-fat fed control mice, and induced adaptations in the liver supportive of decreased gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis. Intake of fat-rich diets thus induces extensive metabolic adaptations enabling disposition of dietary fat without metabolic complications.

Intrahepatic microbes govern liver immunity by programming NKT cells

Project description:The gut microbiome shapes local and systemic immunity. The liver is presumed to be a protected sterile site. As such, a hepatic microbiome has not been examined. Here, we show that the liver hosts a robust microbiome in mice and humans that is distinct from the gut and is enriched in Proteobacteria. It undergoes dynamic alterations with age and is influenced by the environment and host physiology. Fecal microbial transfer experiments revealed that the liver microbiome is populated from the gut in a highly selective manner. Hepatic immunity is dependent on the microbiome, specifically Bacteroidetes species. Targeting Bacteroidetes with oral antibiotics reduced the hepatic immune cell infiltrate by ~90%, prevented APC maturation, and mitigated adaptive immunity. Mechanistically, presentation of Bacteroidetes-derived glycosphingolipids to NKT cells promotes CCL5 signaling, which drives hepatic leukocyte expansion and maturation. Collectively, we reveal a microbial – glycosphingolipid – NKT – CCL5 axis that underlies hepatic immunity.

Lower brown adipose tissue activity is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease but not changes in the gut microbiota

Project description:In rodents, brown adipose tissue (BAT) contributes to whole body energy expenditure and low BAT activity is related to hepatic fat accumulation, partially attributable to the gut microbiome. Little is known of these relationships in humans. In adults (n=60), we assessed hepatic fat and cold-stimulated BAT activity utilizing magnetic resonance imaging and the gut microbiome with 16S sequencing. We transplanted gnotobiotic mice with feces from humans to assess the transferability of BAT activity and NAFLD through the microbiome. Individuals with NAFLD (n=29) had lower BAT activity than those without and BAT activity was inversely related to hepatic fat. Although the fecal microbiome was different in those with NAFLD, no differences were observed in relation to BAT activity and neither of these phenotypic traits were transmissible through fecal transplant to gnotobiotic mice. Thus, low BAT activity is associated with hepatic steatosis but this is not mediated through the gut microbiota.

Manipulation of the gut microbiome as a strategy to treat the osteoarthritis of obesity

Project description:Obesity is a risk factor for Osteoarthritis (OA), the greatest cause of disability in the US. The impact of obesity on OA is driven by systemic inflammation, now understood to be caused by an altered gut microbiome. Oligofructose, a non-digestible prebiotic fiber, can correct the obese gut microbiome, suggesting a novel approach to treat the OA of obesity. Here we report that in the obese murine gut, beneficial Bifidobacteria are lost while key proinflammatory species gain in abundance. A downstream systemic inflammatory signature culminates with accelerated knee OA. Oligofructose supplementation corrects the obese gut microbiome in part by supporting key commensal microflora, particularly Bifidobacterium pseudolongum. This leads to reduced inflammation in the colon, circulation and knee, and protection from OA. This novel recognition of a gut microbiome-OA connection sets the stage for discovery of new OA therapeutics targeting specific microbes inhabiting the intestinal space to inhibit disease pathology.
