Project description:Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) is the rate limiting enzyme of bile acid biosynthetic pathway to convert cholesterol to bile acids, which is a major output pathway for cholesterol catabolism. In this study, we aimed to assess the potential regulatory mechanisms of microRNA-185 (miR-185) involved in cholesterol and bile acid homeostasis. This study provides convincing evidences about the critical role of miR-185 in FoxO1 modulation at both posttranscriptional and posttranslational levels, which account for the effects on CYP7A1 gene and its mediated cholesterol-bile acid metabolism. These results suggest an important role of miR-185 as a novel atherosclerosis-protective target for drug discovery.

Project description:Bile acids are multifunctional signaling molecules that play significant roles in maintaining microbial homeostasis. N6-methyladenine (m6A), the most abundant epitranscriptomic modification, mediates various biological processes by modulating RNA metabolism. However, the precise regulatory mechanisms of m6A methylation in bile acid metabolism, and its downstream effects on microbiota remain unclear. In this study, liver-specific Mettl14 knockout (Mettl14-LKO) reshaped bile acid profile and expression levels of protein related to bile acid metabolism, namely CYP7A1, FXR, and BSEP. M6A-seq data revealed m6A methylated peaks on CYP7A1. Mettl14-LKO significantly elevated expression of m6A “reader” IGF2BP3. Knockdown of IGF2BP3 inhibited CYP7A1 expression by decreasing mRNA stability. Mechanistically, Mettl14-LKO promoted bile acid synthesis by upregulating CYP7A1 expression in an m6A-IGF2BP3-dependent manner. Interestingly, Mettl14-LKO reduced bile acid content in ileum due to decreased BSEP level in liver. Noteworthy, we discovered for the first time that Mettl14 knockout in the liver altered fecal microbiota composition. Specifically, it changed the abundance of Cyanobacteria and Patescibacteria at phylum level, and Lachnochostridium, Candidatus-Saccharimonas, and Roseburia at genera level. Remarkably, Roseburia was negatively correlated with the bile acid levels and CYP7A1 expression. Our findings provide new insights into the role of METTL14 in regulating bile acid homeostasis and its impact on fecal microbiota. Roseburia emerges as a potential target for addressing metabolic diseases linked to disrupted METTL14 signaling.

Project description:Background: Iron deficiency anemia is a major challenge in in both human health and animal husbandry. Disrupted bile acid metabolism is a key characteristic among people with anemia. However, effects and mechanisms of iron deficiency on bile acid metabolism remain unclear. N6-methyladenine (m6A) is the most abundant epigenetic modification, which can regulate various nutrient metabolism. This study aimed to investigate effect of iron deficiency on bile acid metabolism and elucidate its mechanism from the perspective of m6A methylation. Results: Iron deficiency (ID) destroyed liver morphology and ultrastructure in suckling piglet. Notably, ID induced moderate dilation of the endoplasmic reticulum and a reduction in mitochondrial number. At the metabolite level, ID significantly promoted bile acid deposition and reshaped bile acid profile. Specifically, ID decreased contents of GCA, CDCA, and 6-KetoLCA, while increasing levels of THDCA, TωMCA, DCA, GDCA, and TDCA (P < 0.05). At the molecular level, ID upregulated CYP7A1 expression to promoted bile acid deposition. Moreover, ID significantly decreased m6A content, and reduced expression of FTO and YTHDF2 (P < 0.05). M6A-seq data revealed an increase in m6A methylated peaks on CYP7A1 under ID condition. Importantly, RNA immunoprecipitation and stability experiments demonstrated YTHDF2 could bind and decrease stability of CYP7A1 (P < 0.05). Mechanistically, ID reduced YTHDF2 expression, thereby stabilizing CYP7A1 and driving bile acid accumulation. Conclusion: Iron deficiency induced bile acid deposition in an m6A-YTHDF2-CYP7A1 dependent manner, which further causes liver injury.

Project description:Intestinal lipid absorption, the entry point for fats into the body, requires the coordinated actions of bile acids and lipases. Here, we uncover distinct yet cooperative roles of bile acids in driving the differential uptake of dietary fatty acids. We first decreased the bile acid pool size by disrupting the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, Cyp7a1, using liver-directed gene editing in mice. Compared with lipase inhibition, reduced bile acids prevented diet-induced obesity, increased anorectic hormones, suppressed excessive eating, and improved systemic lipid metabolism. Remarkably, decreasing bile acids selectively reduced the absorption of saturated fatty acids but preserved polyunsaturated fatty acids. By targeting additional bile acid enzymes, we identified specific functions of individual bile acid species. Mechanistically, we show that cholic acid preferentially solubilizes polyunsaturated fatty acids into mixed micelles for intestinal uptake. Our studies demonstrate that bile acids can selectively control fatty acid uptake, revealing insights for future interventions in metabolic diseases.

Project description:Specific bile acids are potent signaling molecules that modulate metabolic pathways affecting lipid, glucose and bile acid homeostasis, and the microbiota. Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver, and the key enzymes involved in bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1, Cyp8b1) are regulated transcriptionally by the nuclear receptor FXR. We have identified an FXR-regulated pathway upstream of a transcriptional repressor that controls multiple bile acid metabolism genes. We identify MafG as an FXR target gene and show that hepatic MAFG overexpression represses genes of the bile acid synthetic pathway and modifies the biliary bile acid composition. In contrast, loss-of-function studies using MafG(+/-) mice causes de-repression of the same genes with concordant changes in biliary bile acid levels. Finally, we identify functional MafG response elements in bile acid metabolism genes using ChIP-seq analysis. Our studies identify a molecular mechanism for the complex feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis controlled by FXR.

Project description:Bile acids are not only physiological detergents facilitating nutrient absorption, but also signaling molecules regulating metabolic homeostasis. We reported recently that transgenic expression of CYP7A1 in mice stimulated bile acid synthesis and prevented Western diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. The aim of this experiment is to determine the impact of induction of hepatic bile acid synthesis on liver metabolism by determining hepatic gene expression profile in CYP7A1 transgenic mice. CYP7A1 transgenic mice and wild type control mice were fed either standard chow diet or high fat high cholesterol Western diet for 4 month. Hepatic gene expressions were measured by microarray analysis. Our results indicate that hepatic bile acid synthesis is closely linked to cholesterogenesis and lipogenesis, and maintaining bile acid homeostasis is improtant in hepatic metabolic homeostasis. Male aged matched (~ 12-14 weeks) CYP7A1 transgenic mice and their wild type control littermates were fed a standard chow diet or a high fat (42%) high cholesterol (0.2%) diet (Harlan Teklad #88137) for 4 month Four groups (4 mice/group) are included in the experiments: Group 1: WT _ Chow Group 2: CYP7A1-tg + chow Group 3: WT + Western diet Group 4: CYP7A1-tg _ Western diet Total liver mRNA was isolated with a RNeasy kit (Qiagen) and used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Cancer-associated cachexia is a severe metabolic syndrome marked by dramatic loss of adipose and muscle mass. Although preclinical models have advanced our understanding of cachexia, there are still no approved therapies due to the limited insights into the mechanisms underlying tissue wasting. Here, we utilise a YAP-driven model of liver cancer in zebrafish, which rapidly develops cachexia, to uncover an evolutionarily conserved role for bile acid disruption in the onset of cachexia. Spatial transcriptomic analysis revealed that YAP induces a bi-lineage cholangiocarcinoma phenotype, which was associated with bile acid dysregulation. Mechanistically, we establish that both bile acid synthesis (via CYP7A1) and signalling through the bile acid receptor TGR5 are essential for cachexia induction. Notably, we find that the promotion of bile acid excretion with odevixibat ameliorates cachexia. Together, our findings reveal an evolutionarily conserved mechanism by which YAP promotes cachexia and suggest a potential therapeutic strategy to treat the syndrome

Project description:Tight regulation of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated inflammatory responses is important in innate immunity. Here, we show that T cell death-associated gene 51 (TDAG51/PHLDA1) is a novel coactivator of the transcription factor FoxO1, regulating inflammatory mediator production in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response. TDAG51 induction by LPS stimulation was mediated by the TLR2/4 signaling pathway in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). LPS-induced inflammatory mediator production was significantly decreased in TDAG51-deficient BMMs. In TDAG51-deficient mice, LPS- or pathogenic Escherichia coli infection-induced lethal shock was reduced by decreasing serum proinflammatory cytokine levels. The recruitment of 14-3-3 to FoxO1 was competitively inhibited by the TDAG51-FoxO1 interaction, leading to blockade of FoxO1 cytoplasmic translocation and thereby strengthening FoxO1 nuclear accumulation. TDAG51/FoxO1 double-deficient BMMs showed significantly reduced inflammatory mediator production compared with TDAG51- or FoxO1-deficient BMMs. TDAG51/FoxO1 double deficiency protected mice against LPS- or pathogenic E. coli infection-induced lethal shock by weakening the systemic inflammatory response. Thus, these results indicate that TDAG51 acts as a coactivator of the transcription factor FoxO1, leading to strengthened FoxO1 activity in the LPS-induced inflammatory response.
