Butyrate modulates a wide range of processes, but its mechanism of action is mostly unknown. This study aimed to determine the effects of butyrate on the transcriptional regulation of human colonic mucosa in vivo. Methodology/Principal Findings: Five hundred genes were found to be differentially expressed after a two week daily butyrate administration with enemas. Pathway analysis showed that the butyrate intervention mainly resulted in an increased transcriptional regulation of the pathways representing fatty acid oxidation, electron transport chain and oxidative stress. In addition, several genes associated with epithelial integrity and apoptosis, were found to be differentially expressed after the butyrate intervention. Conclusions/Significance: Colonic administration of butyrate in concentrations that can be achieved by consumption of a high-fiber diet enhances the maintenance of colonic homeostasis in healthy subjects, by regulating fatty acid metabolism, electron transport and oxidative stress pathways on the transcriptional level and provide for the first time, detailed molecular insight in the transcriptional response of gut mucosa to butyrate.

In vitro and animal studies cancer [1–3]. The amount of SCFAs (mainly acetate, propionate showed that butyrate downregulates the expression of genes and butyrate) produced in the colon depends on the site of associated with proliferation and oxidative stress and upregulates fermentation, the diet and the composition of the microbiota, and the expression of Mucin associated genes (Muc 1–4), tight junction can account for up to 5–15% of the total energy requirements of proteins (zonulin and occludin) and the butyrate transporter humans [4].

It has previously been demonstrated that neonatal ketogenesis is activated independently of starvation. However, the role of ketogenesis during the perinatal period remains unclear. Here, we show that neonatal ketogen- esis plays a protective role in mitochondrial function. We generated a mouse model of insufficient ketogenesis by disrupting the rate-limiting hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 enzyme gene (Hmgcs2). Hmgcs2 knockout (KO) neonates develop microvesicular steatosis within a few days of birth. Electron microscopic analysis and metabolite profiling indicate a restricted energy production capacity and accumulation of acetyl-CoA in Hmgcs2 KO mice. Furthermore,

VLCAD deficiency is associated with the accumulation of fat in multiple organs and tissues, which results in specific clinical features including cardiomyopathy, cardiomegaly, muscle weakness, and hepatic dysfunction in infants. We speculated that the abnormal fatty acid metabolism in VLCAD-deficient individuals might cause cell necrosis by fatty acid toxicity. The accumulation of fatty acids may activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), a master regulator of fatty acid metabolism and a potent nuclear receptor for free fatty acids. We examined six skin fibroblast lines, derived from VLCAD-deficient patients and identified fatty acid accumulation and PPARα activation in these cell lines. We then found that the expression levels of three enzymes involved in fatty acid degradation, including long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LACS), were increased in a PPARα-dependent manner. This increased expression of LACS might enhance the fatty acyl-CoA supply to fatty acid degradation and sulfatide synthesis pathways.

The catabolites and metabolites in these metabolic pathways are crucial for many cellular functions; therefore, an imbalance and/or dysregulation of these pathways causes cellular dysfunction, resulting in various metabolic diseases. Bone, a highly mineralized organ that serves as a skeleton of the body, undergoes continuous active turnover, which is required for the maintenance of healthy bony components through the deposition and resorption of bone matrix and minerals. This highly coordinated event is regulated throughout life by bone cells such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, and requires synchronized activities from different metabolic pathways. Here, we aim to provide a comprehensive review of the cellular metabolism involved in bone development and homeostasis, as revealed by mouse genetic studies.

  • Tissue Specific Roles of Fatty Acid Oxidation
    TISSUE SPECIFIC ROLES OF FATTY ACID OXIDATION by Jieun Lee A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland September, 2016 © 2016 Jieun Lee All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The oxidation of long chain fatty acids facilitates mitochondrial respiration in diverse cell types. In this thesis, the role of fatty acid oxidation primarily in the adipose tissue and liver are discussed. To address this question, we generated mice with an adipose- or liver-specific knockout of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (Cpt2), an obligate step in long chain mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. In adipocyte-specific KO mice (Cpt2A-/-), the brown adipose tissue (BAT) of Cpt2A-/- mice was unable to utilize fatty acids and therefore caused hypothermia after an acute cold challenge. Surprisingly, Cpt2A-/- BAT was also unable to up-regulate thermogenic genes such as Ucp1 and Pgc1a in response to agonist-induced stimulation in vivo or ex vivo. The adipose specific loss of CPT2 did not result in changes in body weight on low or high fat diets, although paradoxically, low fat diets promoted and high fat diets suppressed adiposity. Additionally, a high fat diet increased oxidative stress and inflammation in gonadal white adipose tissue (WAT) of control mice but this effect was greatly suppressed in Cpt2A-/- mice. However, this suppression did not improve high fat diet induced glucose intolerance. In hepatocyte-specific KO (Cpt2L-/-) mice, fasting induced hepatic steatosis and serum dyslipidemia with an absence of circulating ketones while blood glucose remained normal. Systemic energy homeostasis was largely maintained in fasting Cpt2L-/- mice by adaptations in hepatic and systemic oxidative gene expression mediated in part by Pparα target genes including procatabolic hepatokines Fgf21, Gdf15 and Igfbp1.
