Project description:The relationship between retinal disease, diet, and the gut microbiome has shown increasing importance over recent years. In particular, high-fat diets (HFDs) are associated with development and progression of several retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. However, the complex, overlapping interactions between diet, gut microbiome, and retinal homeostasis are poorly understood. Using high-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of whole retinas, we compare the retinal transcriptome from germ-free (GF) mice on a regular diet (ND) and HFD to investigate transcriptomic changes without influence of gut microbiome. After correction of raw data, 53 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which 19 were upregulated and 34 were downregulated in GF-HFD mice. Key genes involved in retinal inflammation, angiogenesis, and RPE function were identified. Enrichment analysis revealed that the top 3 biological processes affected were regulation of blood vessel diameter, inflammatory response, and negative regulation of endopeptidase. Molecular functions altered include endopeptidase inhibitor activity, protease binding, and cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Human and mouse pathway analysis revealed that the complement and coagulation cascades are significantly affected by HFD. This study demonstrates novel data that diet can directly modulate the retinal transcriptome independently of the gut microbiome.

Project description:To reveal whether a long-term HFD alters gene expression levels in the retina, we used 4D-label free mass spectrometry to quantify proteins in the whole retinas of HFM and age-mated NM. As the liver plays a crucial role in metabolism of the whole body, HFD has a huge impact on gene expression in the liver. To compare the similarities and differences in the effects of a HFD on retinal and hepatic gene regulatory networks, we also performed proteomic analyses on the livers from HFM and NM.

Project description:Relationships between retinal disease, diet, and the gut microbiome have started to emerge. In particular, high-fat diets (HFDs) are associated with the prevalence and progression of several retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). These effects are thought to be partly mediated by the gut microbiome, which modulates interactions between diet and host homeostasis. Nevertheless, the effects of HFDs on the retina and adjacent retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid at the transcriptional level, independent of gut microbiota, are not well-understood. In this study, we performed the high-throughput RNA-sequencing of germ-free (GF) mice to explore the transcriptional changes induced by HFD in the RPE/choroid. After filtering and cleaning the data, 649 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, with 616 genes transcriptionally upregulated and 33 genes downregulated by HFD compared to a normal diet (ND). Enrichment analysis for gene ontology (GO) using the DEGs was performed to analyze over-represented biological processes in the RPE/choroid of GF-HFD mice relative to GF-ND mice. GO analysis revealed the upregulation of processes related to angiogenesis, immune response, and the inflammatory response. Additionally, molecular functions that were altered involved extracellular matrix (ECM) binding, ECM structural constituents, and heparin binding. This study demonstrates novel data showing that HFDs can alter RPE/choroid tissue transcription in the absence of the gut microbiome.

Project description:The intestinal microbiota is known to regulate host energy homeostasis and can be influenced by high-calorie diets. However, changes affecting the ecosystem at the functional level are still not well characterized. We measured shifts in cecal bacterial communities in mice fed a carbohydrate or high-fat (HF) diet for 12 weeks at the level of the following: (i) diversity and taxa distribution by high-throughput 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing; (ii) bulk and single-cell chemical composition by Fourier-transform infrared- (FT-IR) and Raman micro-spectroscopy and (iii) metaproteome and metabolome via high-resolution mass spectrometry. High-fat diet caused shifts in the diversity of dominant gut bacteria and altered the proportion of Ruminococcaceae (decrease) and Rikenellaceae (increase). FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that the impact of the diet on cecal chemical fingerprints is greater than the impact of microbiota composition. Diet-driven changes in biochemical fingerprints of members of the Bacteroidales and Lachnospiraceae were also observed at the level of single cells, indicating that there were distinct differences in cellular composition of dominant phylotypes under different diets. Metaproteome and metabolome analyses based on the occurrence of 1760 bacterial proteins and 86 annotated metabolites revealed distinct HF diet-specific profiles. Alteration of hormonal and anti-microbial networks, bile acid and bilirubin metabolism and shifts towards amino acid and simple sugars metabolism were observed. We conclude that a HF diet markedly affects the gut bacterial ecosystem at the functional level.

Project description:Maternal high-fat diet alters Tet-mediated epigenetic regulation during heart development
| PRJNA1061550 | ENA
Project description:Maternal exposure to balanced nutrition is critical for supporting embryonic development. Exposure to imbalanced nutrition during pregnancy, such as a high-fat diet (HFD), has been reported to negatively impact offspring, leading to conditions such as congenital heart disease. One possible mechanism is that metabolic stress from imbalanced food intake alters the function of epigenetic regulators, leading to abnormal transcriptional output in embryos. In this study, we observed that maternal exposure to a high-fat diet led to noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) in embryos at E15.5. At the molecular level, maternal HFD exposure resulted in significantly reduced 5hmC production and chromatin remodeling in embryonic heart tissue collected from E15.5 embryos. Interestingly, maternal vitamin C treatment countered the negative impact of HFD exposure and restored the metabolic changes observed in pregnant mice, as well as the NCC phenotype observed in E15.5 embryos. This restoration is possibly due to the replenishment of iron, a co-factor of the Tet enzyme, in its reduced form. We further used a cardiac-specific Tet-triple knockout mouse model to confirm that the cardioprotective outcomes of maternal vitamin C treatment in HFD conditions are attributable to the enhanced activity of TET enzymes. Collectively, our results suggest a crosstalk between maternal nutrition exposure, such as HFD or vitamin C, and epigenetic rewriting during embryonic heart development。

Project description:Publication Title: DNA methylation alters transcriptional rates of differentially expressed genes and contributes to pathophysiology in mice fed a high fat diet. It is now well established that an intrauterine environment altered by overnutrition or malnutrition can change gene expression patterns through epigenetic mechanisms that may persist through generations. However, it is less clear if overnutrition alters epigenetic control of gene expression in adults, or if whether such mechanisms contribute to the pathology of obesity. Here we test the hypothesis that exposure to a high fat diet alters hepatic DNA methylation and gene expression patterns, and explore the contribution of such changes to the pathophysiology of overnutrition. RNA-seq and targeted high-throughput bisulfite DNA sequencing were used to undertake a systematic analysis of the hepatic response to a high fat diet. A subset of genes was found whose expression levels were altered in concert with DNA methylation changes. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation of RNA polymerase, we determined that hypermethylation correlated with decreased transcription of two of the genes, Phlda1 and Onecut1. A subnetwork of these genes and their nearest neighbors was generated from an existing Bayesian gene network that contained numerous hepatic regulatory genes involved in lipid and body weight homeostasis. Hepatic-specific depletion of Phlda1 in mice decreased the genes in the subnetwork, and led to increased oil droplet size in standard chow-fed mice, an early indicator of steatosis, validating the contribution of this gene to the phenotype.
