Chaihu Shugan prevents cholesterol gallstone formation by ameliorating the microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic disturbance in mice

ABSTRACT:

INTRODUCTION: Cholesterol gallstone (CGS) is a biliary tract disorder requiring treatment in approximately 20% of patients. The efficacy of Chaihu Shugan in preventing CGS recurrence after successful treatment remains uncertain.

METHODS: We examined the in vivo preventive efficacy of Chaihu Shugan using a CGS mouse model and used multi-omics to study the interplay between gut microbiota, metabolism and gene expression.

RESULTS: The intestinal microbiota was severely dysregulated during the formation of CGS, showing a marked decrease in the abundance of beneficial microbiota, especially Lactobacillus and Akkermansia. Chaihu Shugan prevented CGS formation by restoring the composition of the gut microbiota and reversing the metabolic disturbances caused by dysbiosis. This preventive effect of Chaihu Shugan was paralleled by changes in the expression of metabolism-related genes in the liver. A network pharmacology analysis of Chaihu Shugan revealed that obacunone may be the key active metabolite in regulating bile acid metabolism. Multi-omics and correlation analyses elucidated the interplay between gut microbiota, metabolism and gene alterations in the dosedependent effect of Chaihu Shugan.

CONCLUSION: Our data show that Chaihu Shugan can prevent CGS and indicate its mechanisms of action.

Longitudinal Assessment of Methylmercury and Gut Microbes During Pregnancy

Project description:<p>Methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin, and the fetal period is the most vulnerable exposure period. There is significant variability in methylmercury metabolism, which has been attributed to differences in the structure and function of the gut microbiome. Our main objective was to better understand the interplay between gut microorganisms and methylmercury metabolism during pregnancy. To address this aim, associations were investigated between maternal biomarkers (blood, hair, stool) for prenatal methylmercury exposure and maternal gut microbiota during early and late gestation.</p>

Impact of gut microbiota on the m6A epitranscriptome in mouse cecum and liver tissues

Project description:The intestinal microbiota modulates host physiology and gene expression via mechanisms that are not fully understood. A recently discovered layer of gene expression regulation is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modifications of mRNA. To unveil if these epitranscriptomic marks are affected by the gut microbiota, we performed methylated RNA-immunoprecipitation and sequencing (MeRIP-seq) to examine m6A-modifications in transcripts of mice displaying either a conventional, or a modified, or no gut microbiota and discovered that the microbiota has a strong influence on m6A- modifications in the cecum, and also, albeit to a lesser extent, in the liver, affecting pathways related to metabolism, inflammatory and antimicrobial responses . We furthermore analysed expression levels of several known writer and eraser enzymes and found the methyltransferase Mettl16 to be downregulated in absence of a microbiota. As a consequence, one of its targets, the S-adenosyl methionine synthase Mat2a was less expressed in mice without gut flora. We furthermore show that distinct commensal bacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila, Lactobacillus plantarum can affect specific m6A modifications. Together, we report here epitranscriptomic modifications as an additional level of interaction in the complex interplay between commensal bacteria and their host.

The TMAO Generating Enzyme Flavin Monooxygenase 3 is a Central Regulator of Cholesterol Balance

Project description:Circulating levels of the gut microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide(TMAO) have recently been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Here we performed transcriptional profiling in mouse models of altered reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), and serendipitously identified the TMAO-generating enzyme flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) as a powerful modifier of cholesterol metabolism and RCT. Knockdown of FMO3 in cholesterol-fed mice alters biliary lipid secretion, blunts intestinal cholesterol absorption, and limits the production of hepatic oxysterols and cholesteryl esters. Furthermore, FMO3 knockdown stimulates basal and liver X receptor (LXR)-stimulated macrophage RCT, thereby improving cholesterol balance. Conversely, FMO3 knockdown exacerbates hepatic ER stress and inflammation in part by decreasing hepatic oxysterol levels and subsequent LXR activation. FMO3 is thus identified as a central integrator of hepatic cholesterol and triacylglycerol metabolism, inflammation, and ER stress. These studies suggest that the gut microbiota-driven TMA/FMO3/TMAO pathway is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and inflammation. To identify potential regulators of macrophage reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), liver was isolated from two independent mouse models where the non-biliary RCT pathway known as transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE) was either chronically (NPC1L1-liver-transgenic mice) or acutely (ACAT2 antisense oligonucleotide treatment) stimulated. Total RNA was isolated and gene expression levels were profiled on the Affymetrix GeneAtlas MG-430 PM Array Strip (Affymetrix; Santa Clara, CA, USA)

Project description:The gut microbiota exerts profound influence on poultry immunity and metabolism through mechanisms that yet need to be elucidated. Here we used conventional and germ-free chickens to explore the influence of the gut microbiota on transcriptomic along the gut-lung axis in poultry. Our results demonstrated a differential regulation of genes associated with innate immunity and metabolism in the spleen of germ-free birds.

Counteracting Osteoclastic Resorption and Development of Osteoporosis via Rebalancing Gut Microbiota and thus Metabolite TMAO by Traditional Decoction Medicine

Project description:Osteoporosis represents a significant health challenge, particularly in postmenopausal women. While traditional medicine offers potential solutions, the mechanisms underlying their efficacy remain elusive. This study demonstrates the bone-protective properties of Guilu Erxian gel decoction (GEX), a traditional medicine prepared from tortoise plastron, antler, and herbs, by elucidating its impact on gut microbiota and associated metabolites. Using an ovariectomized mouse model of postmenopausal osteoporosis, we demonstrate that GEX consumption significantly reduces key osteoporotic markers, including low bone mineral density, compromised trabecular microstructure, and reduced biomechanical strength. GEX intake profoundly reshapes the gut microbiome, enriching beneficial bacteria crucial for fatty acid metabolism and mineral absorption. Gut microbiota transplantation from GEX-fed mice to ovariectomized recipients reversed probiotic bacterial abundance, particularly Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia. This intervention effectively alleviated ovariectomy-induced colon inflammation, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) overproduction, and osteoporosis progression. Excessive TMAO promotes osteoclastogenic differentiation in macrophages in vitro. Using μCT imaging, biomechanical testing, histological staining, and 16S rRNA sequencing, we provide compelling evidence for the complex therapeutic effects of GEX, including mitigation of osteoclast overburden, reduction of marrow adiposis, suppression of RANKL overproduction, and preservation of colon goblet cell mucin. This study demonstrates the interplay between gut microbiota, its metabolite TMAO, and bone health, offering new insights into the mechanism of action of GEX. Our findings not only validate the bone-protective potential of this traditional medicine but also open new avenues for developing microbiome-based strategies to combat osteoporosis.
