Multi-omics reveal gut microbiota–metabolite–adipose axis as the driver of hesperidin-mediated metabolic improvement in obese mice

ABSTRACT: Hesperidin, a citrus flavonoid glycoside, was investigated for its protective effects against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome in mice. Twelve weeks of supplementation markedly attenuated body weight gain, hepatic steatosis, adipocyte hypertrophy, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation, while enhancing glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. 16S rRNA sequencing demonstrated that hesperidin partially restored microbial diversity and selectively enriched beneficial taxa, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Akkermansia. Serum metabolomics revealed increased levels of microbial-derived metabolites such as cinnamic acid, hippuric acid, and sulfated phenolic acids, compounds associated with anti-obesity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Transcriptomic profiling of inguinal white adipose tissue identified broad remodeling of metabolic pathways, with notable activation of calcium signaling, implicating both UCP1-dependent browning and UCP1-independent calcium futile cycling in thermogenesis. Importantly, antibiotic treatment abolished the metabolic benefits and suppressed the generation of bioactive metabolites, underscoring the indispensable role of gut microbiota in hesperidin bioactivity. Together, these findings delineate a microbiota–metabolite–adipose tissue axis through which hesperidin confers systemic metabolic protection, highlighting its potential as a microbiota-targeted dietary strategy for managing obesity-related disorders.

The protective effect of hydrocinnamic acid on Crohn’s disease.

Project description:Polyphenols are promising therapeutics for Crohn’s disease (CD), yet their bioavailability is largely dependent on the gut microbiome. The bioactive metabolites, metabolic pathways, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms underlying their effects remain poorly defined. Through integrated multi-omics and dietary analysis, we identified hippuric acid as a reduced metabolite in CD patients and a biomarker of polyphenol–microbiome interactions. We further demonstrate that hydrocinnamic acid, derived from microbiome metabolism of dietary trans-cinnamic acid and subsequently converted to hippuric acid by the host, ameliorates colitis in mice via the PPAR-γ pathway. Notably, we identified Bifidobacterium breve Bbr60 and Escherichia coli FAH as novel hydrocinnamic acid producers, complementing the established pathway in Clostridium sporogenes and suggesting additional microbial contributors. Collectively, our findings establish hydrocinnamic acid as a diet-dependent, colon-produced, mild PPAR-γ agonist with the potential to minimize adverse effects associated with traditional PPAR-γ agonists. This work establishes a foundation for developing microbiota-targeted, polyphenol-based therapeutic strategies for CD patients.

Effects of Gut Microbiota Manipulation by Antibiotics on Host Metabolism in Obese Humans: a Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Trial

Project description:The gut microbiota has been implicated in obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, although evidence in humans is scarce. We investigated how gut microbiota manipulation by antibiotics (7-day administration of amoxicillin, vancomycin, or placebo) affects host metabolism in 57 obese, prediabetic men. Vancomycin, but not amoxicillin, decreased bacterial diversity and reduced Firmicutes involved in short-chain fatty acid and bile acid metabolism, concomitant with altered plasma and/or fecal metabolite concentrations. Adipose tissue gene expression of oxidative pathways was upregulated by antibiotics, whereas immune-related pathways were downregulated by vancomycin. Antibiotics did not affect tissue-specific insulin sensitivity, energy/substrate metabolism, postprandial hormones and metabolites, systemic inflammation, gut permeability, and adipocyte size. Importantly, energy harvest, adipocyte size, and whole-body insulin sensitivity were not altered at 8-week follow-up, despite a still considerably altered microbial composition, indicating that interference with adult microbiota by 7-day antibiotic treatment has no clinically relevant impact on metabolic health in obese humans. This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study had a 3-armed parallel design. Overweight/obese participants were randomized to oral intake of amoxicillin, vancomycin or placebo for 7 consecutive days. After an overnight fast, subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were taken that were subjected to gene expression profiling by array.

RNA-Sequencing of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipose tissue

Project description:Since brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy through UCP1, BAT has garnered attention as a therapeutic intervention for obesity and metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. As we better understand the roles of classical brown and beige adipocytes, increased beige fat mass in response to a variety of external/internal cues is associated with significant improvements in glucose and lipid homeostasis that may not be entirely mediated by UCP1. We aim to analyze transcriptome of wild type and UCP1-null beige adipocyte to identify the UCP1-independent function.

Enterochromaffin cells act as intestinal signal integration hubs for microbial metabolites

Project description:The intestinal epithelium senses and responds to the myriad of signals from gut microbiota, but it remains unclear how these signals are integrated to drive physiological responses. In this work, we found that enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut serve as signal integration hubs for microbial metabolites. EC cells coordinate responses to combinations of microbial metabolites, resulting in complex alterations in serotonin signaling that drive changes in GI physiology. We found that microbial metabolites either directly trigger responses or alter the expression of receptors for other microbial metabolites in EC cells. The microbiota-derived purine derivative hypoxanthine triggers a signaling pathway by activating G-protein coupled receptor A1R, which in turn activates the calcium channel TRPC4, resulting in increased serotonin release and accelerated GI transit. On the other hand, bacteria-derived butyrate does not evoke EC cell calcium influx by itself, but drives epigenetic changes that upregulate TRPC4 expression, thereby enhancing response to metabolites like hypoxanthine and norepinephrine that act via TRPC4. Since the expression TRPC4 is limited to EC cells, these cells function as specialized epithelial sensors that integrate signals from regulatory (butyrate) and effector metabolites like hypoxanthine and norepinephrine. These findings offer new microbiota-driven therapeutic avenues for conditions associated with altered GI function.

Acarbose improves obesity-induced insulin resistance and immune homeostasis by directly regulating gut microbiota and macrophages inflammation

Project description:Acarbose was reported to alleviate obesity-induced insulin resistance IR and regulate the gut microbiota community; however, the critical microbial signaling metabolites and the host targets associated with the metabolic benefits of acarbose remains unknown. In this study, we reported that acarbose treatment was able to significantly improve high fat diet (HFD) induced IR and inflammation states in adipose tissue and intestine by influencing the survival and pro-inflammatory function of M1 macrophages. Furthermore, we revealed that acarbose exert anti-inflammatory effects partly in a gut-microbiota dependent manner by microbiota clearance experiments. 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomic researches identified that acarbose could enhance the proliferation of propionic acid (PA)-producing Parasutterella excrementihominis (PARA). As the vital metabolic mediator, PA regulated the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory balance of M1/M2 macrophages by GPR4/NLRP3 signaling pathway. In addition, in vivo studies of NBD fluorescence labeled acarbose verified that acarbose directly inhibited the macrophage inflammatory response in adipose tissue via being captured by intestinal macrophage due to the aggravated intestinal permeability in HFD mice. We also validated this result in bone-marrow derived macrophage (BMDM) and human macrophages in vitro. Mechanistically, acarbose may suppressed mTOR signaling pathway and the following autophagy/mitochondrial function of M1 macrophage by activating GPR120, thereby reducing its survival and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, these findings presented that acarbose improved obesity-induced IR by maintaining beneficial microbiota and direct inhibited action on M1 macrophages.

The microbiota regulates white adipose tissue inflammation and progression of obesity through a highly conserved family of microRNAs.

Project description:The gut microbiota is a key environmental determinant of mammalian metabolism. Regulation of white adipose tissue (WAT) by the gut microbiota is a critical process that maintains metabolic fitness, while dysbiosis contributes to the development of obesity and insulin resistance (IR). However, how the gut microbiota controls WAT functions remain largely unknown. Herein, we show that tryptophan-derived metabolites produced by the microbiota control the expression of the miR-181 family in white adipocytes to regulate energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity. Moreover, we show that dysregulation of the microbiota-miR-181 axis is required for the development of obesity, IR, and WAT inflammation. Thus, our results indicate that regulation of miRNA levels in WAT by microbiota-derived cues is a central mechanism by which host metabolism is tuned in response to dietary and environmental changes. As MIR-181 is dysregulated in WAT from obese human individuals, the MIR-181 family may represent a potential therapeutic target to modulate WAT function in the context of obesity.

Human brown and white preadipocyes clonal dynamics predict themorgenic potential and function

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) holds therapeutic potential for obesity and metabolic syndrome via increasing energy expenditure. Both inter- and intra-individual differences contribute to heterogeneity in human BAT and potentially to differential thermogenic capacity in human populations. Here, we demonstrated the generation of brown and white preadipocyte clones from human neck fat and characterized their adipogenic differentiation and thermogenic function. Combining a UCP1 reporter system and gene expression profiling, we defined novel sets of gene signatures in human preadipocytes that could predict the thermogenic potential of mature adipocytes. Knocking out the positive UCP1 regulators, PREX1 and EDNRB, in brown preadipocytes by CRISPRs markedly abolished the high level of UCP1 in mature brown adipocytes. Finally, we showed the ability to prospectively isolate adipose progenitors with great thermogenic potential. These data provide new insights into the cellular heterogeneity in human fat and offer clinically relevant gene targets that mark thermogenically competent preadipocytes.

Altering the intestinal microbiota during a critical developmental window has lasting metabolic consequences

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Acquisition of the intestinal microbiota begins at birth, and a stable microbial community develops from a succession of key organisms. Disruption of the microbiota during maturation by low-dose antibiotic exposure can alter host metabolism and adiposity. We now show that low-dose penicillin (LDP), delivered from birth, induces metabolic alterations and affects ileal expression of genes involved in immunity. LDP that is limited to early life transiently perturbs the microbiota, which is sufficient to induce sustained effects on body composition, indicating that microbiota interactions in infancy may be critical determinants of long-term host metabolic effects. In addition, LDP enhances the effect of high-fat diet induced obesity. The growth promotion phenotype is transferrable to germ-free hosts by LDP-selected microbiota, showing that the altered microbiota, not antibiotics per se, play a causal role. These studies characterize important variables in early-life microbe-host metabolic interaction and identify several taxa consistently linked with metabolic alterations. Refer to individual Series

A selective gut bacterial bile salt hydrolase alters host metabolism

Project description:The human gut microbiota impacts host metabolism and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity and metabolic syndromes. However, defining the roles of specific microbial activities and metabolites on host phenotypes has proven challenging due to the complexity of the microbiome-host ecosystem. Here, we identify strains from the abundant gut bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes that display selective bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. Using isogenic strains of wild-type and BSH-deleted Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, we selectively modulated the levels of the bile acid tauro-b-muricholic acid in monocolonized gnotobiotic mice. B. thetaiotaomicron BSH mutant-colonized mice displayed altered metabolism, including reduced weight gain and respiratory exchange ratios, as well as transcriptional changes in metabolic, circadian rhythm, and immune pathways in the gut and liver. Our results demonstrate that metabolites generated by a single microbial gene and enzymatic activity can profoundly alter host metabolism and gene expression at local and organism-level scales.
