Project description:Long-term dietary intake influences the structure and activity of the trillions of microorganisms residing in the human gut, but it remains unclear how rapidly and reproducibly the human gut microbiome responds to short-term macronutrient change. Here we show that the short-term consumption of diets composed entirely of animal or plant products alters microbial community structure and overwhelms inter-individual differences in microbial gene expression. The animal-based diet increased the abundance of bile-tolerant microorganisms (Alistipes, Bilophila and Bacteroides) and decreased the levels of Firmicutes that metabolize dietary plant polysaccharides (Roseburia, Eubacterium rectale and Ruminococcus bromii). Microbial activity mirrored differences between herbivorous and carnivorous mammals, reflecting trade-offs between carbohydrate and protein fermentation. Foodborne microbes from both diets transiently colonized the gut, including bacteria, fungi and even viruses. Finally, increases in the abundance and activity of Bilophila wadsworthia on the animal-based diet support a link between dietary fat, bile acids and the outgrowth of microorganisms capable of triggering inflammatory bowel disease. In concert, these results demonstrate that the gut microbiome can rapidly respond to altered diet, potentially facilitating the diversity of human dietary lifestyles.

Project description:It is well recognized that men and women differ in circulating lipid profiles and consequently coronary artery disease (CAD). While sex hormones like estrogens are thought to protect women from CAD risk by promoting protective lipid profiles, hormone replacement therapy in women paradoxically increases CAD risk. Biological sex is determined by both sex chromosomes and sex hormones. We used mouse models to separate effects of sex chromosomes and hormones on atherosclerosis, circulating lipids and intestinal fat metabolism. We found that an XX sex chromosome complement increases food intake, body weight, fat absorption, serum lipid concentrations and atherosclerosis in gonadal male and female mice, indicating a primary effect of sex chromosome complement. Small intestine expression of enzymes involved in lipid absorption and chylomicron assembly were increased in XX male and female mice with elevated intestinal lipids. These results reveal that an XX sex chromosome complement promotes the absorption and bioavailability of dietary fat to accelerate the development of atherosclerosis.

Project description:The gut microbiome is a malleable microbial community that can remodel in response to various factors, including diet, and contribute to the development of several chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis. We devised an in vitro screening protocol of the mouse gut microbiome to discover molecules that can selectively modify bacterial growth. This approach was used to identify cyclic D,L-α-peptides that remodeled the Western diet (WD) gut microbiome toward the low-fat-diet microbiome state. Daily oral administration of the peptides in WD-fed LDLr-/- mice reduced plasma total cholesterol levels and atherosclerotic plaques. Depletion of the microbiome with antibiotics abrogated these effects. Peptide treatment reprogrammed the microbiome transcriptome, suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (including interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β), rebalanced levels of short-chain fatty acids and bile acids, improved gut barrier integrity and increased intestinal T regulatory cells. Directed chemical manipulation provides an additional tool for deciphering the chemical biology of the gut microbiome and might advance microbiome-targeted therapeutics.

Project description:Aims/hypothesis: Dietary restriction (DR) reduces adiposity and improves metabolism in patients with one or more symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. Nonetheless, it remains elusive whether the benefits of DR in humans are mediated by calorie or nutrient restriction. This study was conducted to identify whether isocaloric dietary protein restriction is sufficient to confer the beneficial effects of dietary restriction in patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods: We performed a prospective, randomized controlled dietary intervention under constant nutritional and medical supervision. A total of 21 individuals diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome was randomly assigned for caloric restriction (CR; n = 11, mean age 49 ± 8.5 years, female 63%; diet of 5,941 ± 686 KJ per day) or isocaloric dietary protein restriction (PR; n = 10, mean age 51.6 ± 8.9 years, female 50%; diet of 8,409 ± 2,360 KJ per day) and followed for 27 days. Results: Like CR, PR promoted weight loss (-6.6%, P= 0.0041) due to reduction in adiposity (-9.9%, P= 0.0007), associated with reductions in blood glucose (-52.7%, P= 0.0002), lipid levels (cholesterol, -35.4%, P= 0.0010; triglycerides, -39.5% P= 0.0022) and blood pressure (systolic, -37.7 P< 0.0001; diastolic, -73.2% P< 0.0001). PR resulted in enrichment of metabolic pathways related to the immune system such as B cell proliferation, lymphocyte proliferation and leukocyte proliferation in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Hence, a reduction in calorie intake or changes in the gut microbiome are not necessary to confer the metabolic benefits of DR. Instead, a reduction in protein intake with a mild increase in carbohydrate intake to maintain the isocaloric balance of the diet is sufficient to improve metabolic control. Conclusions/interpretation: Protein restriction is sufficient to confer almost the same clinical outcomes as calorie restriction without the need for a reduction in calorie intake. The isocaloric characteristic of the PR intervention makes this approach a more attractive and less drastic dietary strategy in clinical settings and has greater potential to be used as adjuvant therapy for people with the metabolic syndrome.

Project description:We used transcriptomics to identify vascular gene expression profiles of high-fat-fed Tibetan minipig induced-hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerotic models, to verify the hypothesis that hypercholesterolemia induces innate and adaptive immune responses to accelerate atherosclerosis. Results showed that hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis models occurred in the high-fat fed minipigs at 8 and 24 weeks. GSEA analysis showed that the changes of hypercholesterolemia accelerated atherosclerosis were focused on immunity inflammation and lipid metabolism, immune cells such as NK cells and T cells participated in the biological processes. 4 significant modules of 344 overlapping DEGs were identified by STEM analysis. 6 hub genes (ITGB2, TYROBP, LCP2, PTPRC, C5AR1, and PTPN6) and two immune-related pathways (Natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity and T cell receptor signaling pathway) were identified by CytoHubba plugin and KEGG analysis. Correlation analysis showed that hub genes were significantly correlated with lipid deposition, IMT, WBC, CD4, and CD8, which was consistent with RT-PCR validation results. From above, this study reveals that hypercholesterolemia accelerate atherosclerosis progression by inducing innate and adaptive immune responses.

Project description:<p>Findings from recent studies suggest that the community of microbes residing in the human body is important in disease etiology; however, it remains unclear whether personal factors modulate human microbial composition. Studies based on animal models indicate that differences in composition might be attributed to sex-mediated effects. We analyzed the relationship of sex, adiposity, and dietary fiber intake with gut microbial composition using fecal samples from human subjects. We explored the associations of these factors with metrics of community composition and specific taxon abundances. We found that men and women had significantly different microbial community composition and that women had reduced abundance of a major phylum. Adiposity was associated with gut microbiome composition and specifically in women but not in men. Fiber from fruits and vegetables and fiber from beans were each associated with increased abundance of specific bacterial taxa. These findings provide initial indications that sex, adiposity, and dietary fiber might play important roles in influencing the human gut microbiome. Better understanding of these factors may have significant implications for gastrointestinal health and disease prevention.</p>

Project description:- Background: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is considered a promising target for treatment of obesity-associated metabolic diseases including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and atherosclerosis. Here, we evaluated the effects of a humanized bispecific anti-FGFR1/KLB agonist antibody (bFKB1) that specifically targets FGFR1c and β-klotho, in a translational preclinical model that develops MASH and atherosclerosis. - Methods: Ldlr-/-.Leiden mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks, after which mice were treated with an isotype control antibody or bFKB1 for 12 weeks. Effects on pre-existent MASH and atherosclerosis were assessed histopathologically and biochemically. Underlying mechanisms of bFKB1 treatment were investigated by hepatic transcriptomics analysis (NGS). Results: bFKB1 lowered body weight and adipose tissue mass without reducing food intake. bFKB1 intervention reduced plasma insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT and liver weight. liver steatosis, inflammation and NAS score were significantly lowered. Histological measurement of fibrosis was not significantly affected by the treatment, but new collagen formation was significantly inhibited by bFKB1. Correspondingly, hepatic inflammatory and profibrotic transcriptional programs were broadly inactivated by the treatment. In epididymal white adipose tissue, bFKB1 intervention reduced adipocyte size and inflammation and induced browning, signified by increased UCP1 expression. In the vasculature, bFKB1 had anti-atherogenic effects, lowering total atherosclerotic lesion area, that could be attributed to a reduction In severe type V lesions. - Conclusion: The bispecific anti-FGFR1/KLB agonist antibody bFKB1 has strong beneficial metabolic effects in HFD-fed Ldlr-/-.Leiden mice that are associated with a reduction in liver steatosis, inflammation and atherosclerosis. Liver fibrosis was not affected, yet analysis of new collagen formation and profibrotic transcriptional programs indicate that bFKB1 treatment may have antifibrotic potential in a longer treatment duration, consistent with a recent clinical study using a FGF21 mimetic.
