Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in Western countries. There is growing evidence that dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota and disruption of microbiota-host interactions contribute to the pathology of NAFLD. We previously demonstrated that gut microbiota derived tryptophan metabolite indole-3-acetate (I3A) was decreased in both cecum and liver of high-fat diet-fed mice and attenuated the expression of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages and TNF-a and fatty acid induced inflammatory responses in an aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) dependent manner in hepatocytes. In this study, we investigated the effect of orally administered I3A in a mouse model of diet induced NAFLD. Western diet (WD)-fed mice given sugar water (SW) with I3A showed dramatically decreased serum ALT, hepatic TG, liver steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning, lobular inflammation, and hepatic production of inflammatory cytokines, compared to WD-fed mice given only SW. Metagenomic analysis show that I3A administration did not significantly modify the intestinal microbiome, suggesting that I3A’s beneficial effects likely reflect the metabolite’s direct actions on the liver. Administration of I3A partially reversed WD induced alterations of liver metabolome and proteome, notably, decreasing expression of several enzymes in hepatic lipogenesis and β- oxidation. Mechanistically, we also show that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) mediates the anti-inflammatory effects of I3A in macrophages. The potency of I3A in alleviating liver steatosis and inflammation clearly demonstrates its potential as a therapeutic modality for preventing the progression of steatosis to NASH.

Project description:The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is gradually increasing. A high-fat diet (HFD) is known to disrupt intestinal homeostasis and aggravate IBD, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Here, a positive correlation between dietary fat intake and disease severity in both IBD patients and HFD-fed mice is observed. HFD induces a significant decrease in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and lead to intestinal barrier damage. Furthermore, IAA supplementation enhances the intestinal mucin sulfation and effectively alleviates colitis. Mechanistically, IAA upregulates key molecules involved in mucin sulfation, including Papss2 and Slc35b3, the synthesis enzyme and the transferase of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR). More importantly, AHR can directly bind to the transcription start site of Papss2. Oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri, which can produce IAA, contributes to protecting against colitis and promoting mucin sulfation, while the modified L. reuteri strain lacking the iaaM gene (LactobacillusΔiaaM) and the ability to produce IAA fails to exhibit such effects. Overall, IAA enhances intestinal mucin sulfation through AHR, contributing to the protection of intestinal homeostasis.

Project description:Intake and absorption of cholesterol (the latter determined by double labeled cholesterol methodology) were nearly unchanged in mice fed the saturated fat diet, but the fecal excretion of neutral sterols (i.e. cholesterol and its microbial conversion products) was increased compared with control diet(+80%; p<0.01). The saturated fat diet did neither significantly affect biliary cholesterol secretion nor intestinal cholesterol absorption (49% vs. 65% in controls, double labeled water methodology, p>0.1). Thus, the increased fecal neutral sterol excretion was primarily due to increased net transintestinal cholesterol excretion (+89% versus control; p<0.05). Since a major fraction of TICE cholesterol absorption is normally reabsorbed (J Lipid Res 2019 Sep;60(9):1562-1572), the increased fecal cholesterol excretion could be due to more transintestinal excretion of cholesterol into the intestinal lumen and/or to its decreased reabsorption. The saturated fat diet increased jejunal expression of genes involved in cholesterol synthesis (Srebf2 and target genes), but did not affect whole body de novo cholesterol synthesis. Conclusion This proof-of-principle study shows that increasing the saturation of the dietary fat can stimulate fecal cholesterol excretion. Individual components of saturated fat diets are to be explored to address the responsible molecular mechanisms

Project description:TCDD is an environmental contaminant that elicits a number of hepatic effects including fat accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis that can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma. RNA-Seq and targeted metabolomics were integrated with complementary dioxin response element (DRE) location and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ChIP-Seq data to further investigate the hepatotoxicity of TCDD. Our integrative analysis identified changes similar to the Warburg effect observed in cancer cells, including pyruvate kinase isoform switching (PKM1 to PKM2), and an increase in the glutaminase (GLS1) GAC:KGA isoform ratio. Consequently, metabolites are redirected towards the pentose phosphate pathway, serine biosynthesis, and glutaminolysis. We propose that the effects of TCDD on central carbon and amino acid metabolism represents AhR-mediated hepatic metabolic reprogramming in order to increase NADPH production as an oxidative stress counter-measure.

Project description:Habitual exercise modulates the composition of the intestinal microbiota. We examined whether transplanting fecal microbiota from trained mice improved skeletal muscle metabolism in high-fat diet-fed mice. The recipient mice that received fecal samples from trained donor mice for 1 week showed elevated levels of metabolic signalings in skeletal muscle. Glucose tolerance was improved by fecal microbiota transplantation after 8 weeks of HFD administration. Intestinal microbiota may mediate exercise-induced metabolic improvement in mice. We performed a microarray analysis to compare the metabolic gene expression profiles in the skeletal muscle from each mouse.
