Project description:Bile acids modulate several gastrointestinal functions including electrolyte secretion and absorption, gastric emptying, and small intestinal and colonic motility. High concentrations of bile acids lead to diarrhea and are implicated in the development of esophageal, gastric and colonic cancer. Alterations in bile acid homeostasis are also implicated in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these effects of bile acids on gut functions has been greatly enhanced by the discovery of bile acid receptors, including the nuclear receptors: farnesoid X receptor (FXR), vitamin D receptor (VDR), pregnane X receptor (PXR), and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR); and the G protein-coupled receptors: Takeda G protein-coupled receptor (TGR5), sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2), and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 (M3R).. For example, various studies provided evidence demonstrating the anti-inflammatory effects FXR and TGR5 activation in models of intestinal inflammation. In addition, TGR5 activation in enteric neurons was recently shown to increase colonic motility, which may lead to bile acid-induced diarrhea. Interestingly, TGR5 induces the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from L-cells to enhance insulin secretion and modulate glucose metabolism. Because of the importance of these receptors, agonists of TGR5 and intestine-specific FXR agonists are currently being tested as an option for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and primary bile acid diarrhea, respectively. This review summarizes current knowledge of the functional roles of bile acid receptors in the gastrointestinal tract.

Project description:Pathogen infections remain a significant public health problem worldwide. Accumulating evidence regarding the crosstalk between bile acid (BA) metabolism and immune response reveals that BA metabolism regulates host immunity and microbial pathogenesis, making it an attractive target for disease prevention and infection control. However, the effect of infection on circulating BA profiles, the biosynthesis-related enzymes, and their receptors remains to be depicted. Here, we investigated the effect of viral (vesicular stomatitis virus, VSV) and bacterial (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) infections on BA metabolism and signaling. Infection models were successfully established by intraperitoneally injecting VSV and LPS, respectively. VSV and LPS injection significantly changed the circulating BA profiles, with highly increased levels of taurine-conjugated BAs and significant decreases in unconjugated BAs. Consistent with the decreased levels of circulating cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), the expression of BA biosynthesis-related rate-limiting enzymes (Cyp7a1, Cyp27a1, Cyp8b1, and Hsd3b7) were significantly reduced. Furthermore, hepatic and pulmonary BA receptors (BARs) expression varied in different infection models. LPS treatment had an extensive impact on tested hepatic and pulmonary BARs, resulting in the upregulation of TGR5, S1PR2, and VDR, while VSV infection only promoted VDR expression. Our study provides insights into the involvement of BA metabolism in the pathophysiology of infection, which may provide potential clues for targeting BA metabolism and BAR signaling to boost innate immunity and control infection.ImportanceThis study focuses on the crosstalk between bile acid (BA) metabolism and immune response in VSV infection and LPS treatment models and depicts the effect of infection on circulating BA profiles, the biosynthesis-related enzymes, and their receptors. These findings provide insights into the effect of infection on BA metabolism and signaling, adding a more comprehensive understanding to the relationship between infection, BA metabolism and immune responses.

Project description:Bile acids, which are synthesized from cholesterol by the liver, are chemically transformed along the intestinal tract by the gut microbiota, and the products of these transformations signal through host receptors, affecting overall host health. These transformations include bile acid deconjugation, oxidation, and 7α-dehydroxylation. An understanding of the biogeography of bile acid transformations in the gut is critical because deconjugation is a prerequisite for 7α-dehydroxylation and because most gut microorganisms harbor bile acid transformation capacity. Here, we used a coupled metabolomic and metaproteomic approach to probe in vivo activity of the gut microbial community in a gnotobiotic mouse model. Results revealed the involvement of Clostridium scindens in 7α-dehydroxylation, of the genera Muribaculum and Bacteroides in deconjugation, and of six additional organisms in oxidation (the genera Clostridium, Muribaculum, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Acutalibacter, and Akkermansia). Furthermore, the bile acid profile in mice with a more complex microbiota, a dysbiosed microbiota, or no microbiota was considered. For instance, conventional mice harbor a large diversity of bile acids, but treatment with an antibiotic such as clindamycin results in the complete inhibition of 7α-dehydroxylation, underscoring the strong inhibition of organisms that are capable of carrying out this process by this compound. Finally, a comparison of the hepatic bile acid pool size as a function of microbiota revealed that a reduced microbiota affects host signaling but not necessarily bile acid synthesis. In this study, bile acid transformations were mapped to the associated active microorganisms, offering a systematic characterization of the relationship between microbiota and bile acid composition.

Project description:The mechanisms by which early microbial colonizers of the neonate influence gut development are poorly understood. Bacterial bile salt hydrolase (BSH) acts as a putative colonization factor that influences bile acid signatures and microbe-host signaling pathways and we considered whether this activity can influence infant gut development. In silico analysis of the human neonatal gut metagenome confirmed that BSH enzyme sequences are present as early as one day postpartum. Gastrointestinal delivery of cloned BSH to immature gnotobiotic mice accelerated shortening of the colon and regularized gene expression profiles, with monocolonised mice more closely resembling conventionally raised animals. In situ expression of BSH decreased markers of cell proliferation (Ki67, Hes2 and Ascl2) and strongly increased expression of ALPI, a marker of cell differentiation and barrier function. These data suggest an evolutionary paradigm whereby microbial BSH activity potentially influences bacterial colonization and in-turn benefits host gastrointestinal maturation.

Project description:Emerging evidence points to a strong association between the gut microbiota and the risk, development and progression of gastrointestinal cancers such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Bile acids, produced in the liver, are metabolized by enzymes derived from intestinal bacteria and are critically important for maintaining a healthy gut microbiota, balanced lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, insulin sensitivity and innate immunity. Given the complexity of bile acid signalling and the direct biochemical interactions between the gut microbiota and the host, a systems biology perspective is required to understand the liver-bile acid-microbiota axis and its role in gastrointestinal carcinogenesis to reverse the microbiota-mediated alterations in bile acid metabolism that occur in disease states. An examination of recent research progress in this area is urgently needed. In this Review, we discuss the mechanistic links between bile acids and gastrointestinal carcinogenesis in CRC and HCC, which involve two major bile acid-sensing receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (TGR5). We also highlight the strategies and cutting-edge technologies to target gut-microbiota-dependent alterations in bile acid metabolism in the context of cancer therapy.

Project description:Bile acids (BAs) mediate the crosstalk between human and microbial cells and influence diseases including Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). While bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) shape the BA pool by deconjugating conjugated BAs, the basis for their substrate selectivity and impact on C. difficile remain elusive. Here we survey the diversity of BSHs in the gut commensals Lactobacillaceae, which are commonly used as probiotics, and other members of the human gut microbiome. We structurally pinpoint a loop that predicts BSH preferences for either glycine or taurine substrates. BSHs with varying specificities were shown to restrict C. difficile spore germination and growth in vitro and colonization in pre-clinical in vivo models of CDI. Furthermore, BSHs reshape the pool of microbial conjugated bile acids (MCBAs) in the murine gut, and these MCBAs can further restrict C. difficile virulence in vitro. The recognition of conjugated BAs by BSHs defines the resulting BA pool, including the expansive MCBAs. This work provides insights into the structural basis of BSH mechanisms that shape the BA landscape and promote colonization resistance against C. difficile.

Project description:Disorders of bile acids (BAs) are closely related to the development of liver and intestinal diseases, including acute pancreatitis (AP). However, the mechanism underlying the involvement of BAs in AP development remains unclear. We used intraperitoneal injection of cerulein to construct AP mouse models. These mice had significantly reduced tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and an imbalance of intestinal microbiota, based on 16S rDNA gene sequencing. To explore the role of AP-induced intestinal microbiota changes in the development of AP, we transplanted the stool obtained from AP mice to antibiotic-treated, microbiota-depleted healthy mice. Microbiota-depleted mice presented injury to the intestinal barrier function and pancreas. Additionally, microbiota depletion reduced AP-associated pancreatic injury. This indicated that the gut microbiota may worsen AP. As TUDCA was deficient in AP mice, we gavaged AP mice with it, and evaluated subsequent expression changes in the bile acid signaling receptors farnesoid-x-receptor (FXR) and its target gene fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 15. These were downregulated, and pancreatic and intestinal barrier function injury were mitigated. The gut microbiota is known to regulate bile acid production and signaling, and our analysis of changes to the gut microbiota in AP indicated that Lactobacilli may be the key contributors of TUDCA. Taken together, our study shows that supplementation with BAs could reduce pancreatic and intestinal injury, and that this effect may be associated with the gut microbiota.
