Impact of High-Fat Feeding on Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors International Journal of Obesity (2014),1–9 © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0307-0565/14 www.nature.com/ijo ORIGINAL ARTICLE Impact of high-fat feeding on basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors controlling enteroendocrine cell differentiation This article has been corrected since online publication and a corrigendum appears in this issue Y Sakar1,2, FA Duca1,2, B Langelier1,2, F Devime1,2, H Blottiere1,2, C Delorme1,2, P Renault1,2 and M Covasa1,2,3,4 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gut hormones secreted by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) play a major role in energy regulation. Differentiation of EEC is controlled by the expression of basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factors. High-fat (HF) feeding alters gut hormone levels; however, the impact of HF feeding on bHLH transcription factors in mediating EEC differentiation and subsequent gut hormone secretion and expression is not known. METHODS: Outbred Sprague–Dawley rats were maintained on chow or HF diet for 12 weeks. Gene and protein expression of intestinal bHLH transcription factors, combined with immunofluorescence studies, were analyzed for both groups in the small intestine and colon. Gut permeability, intestinal lipid and carbohydrate transporters as well as circulating levels and intestinal protein expression of gut peptides were determined. RESULTS: We showed that HF feeding resulted in hyperphagia and increased adiposity. HF-fed animals exhibited decreased expression of bHLH transcription factors controlling EEC differentiation (MATH1, NGN3, NEUROD1) and increased expression of bHLH factors modulating enterocyte expression. Furthermore, HF-fed animals had decreased number of total EECs and L-cells. This was accompanied by increased gut permeability and expression of lipid and carbohydrate transporters, and a decrease in circulating and intestinal gut hormone levels. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our results demonstrate that HF feeding caused decreased secretory lineage (that is, EECs) differentiation through downregulation of bHLH transcription factors, resulting in reduced EEC number and gut hormone levels. Thus, impaired EEC differentiation pathways by HF feeding may promote hyperphagia and subsequent obesity.

Denning1* 1234567890():,; Gut microbiota and their metabolites are instrumental in regulating intestinal homeostasis. However, early-life microbiota associated influences on intestinal development remain incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that co-housing of germ-free (GF) mice with specific-pathogen free (SPF) mice at weaning (exGF) results in altered intestinal gene expression. Our results reveal that one highly differentially expressed gene, erythroid dif- ferentiation regulator-1 (Erdr1), is induced during development in SPF but not GF or exGF mice and localizes to Lgr5+ stem cells and transit amplifying (TA) cells. Erdr1 functions to induce Wnt signaling in epithelial cells, increase Lgr5+ stem cell expansion, and promote intestinal organoid growth. Additionally, Erdr1 accelerates scratch-wound closure in vitro, increases Lgr5+ intestinal stem cell regeneration following radiation-induced injury in vivo, and enhances recovery from dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colonic damage. Col- lectively, our findings indicate that early-life microbiota controls Erdr1-mediated intestinal epithelial proliferation and regeneration in response to mucosal damage. 1 Center for Inflammation, Immunity & Infection, Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, 100 Piedmont Ave, Atlanta, GA 30303, USA. 2 Neuroscience Institute and Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 3 INSERM, U1016, Paris, France. 4 Université de Paris, Paris, France.

  • Pancreatic Amylase
    1. Functional Anatomy • The pancreas which lies parallel to and beneath the stomach is composed of: 1. The endocrine islets of Langerhans which secrete: Hormone Type of cell % of secretion Insulin Beta cells 60% crucial for normal regulation of glucose, Glucagon Alpha cells ~25% lipid & protein metabolism Somatostatin delta cells ~10% 1. Acinar gland tissues which produce pancreatic juice (the main source of digestive enzymes). • The pancreatic digestive enzymes are secreted by pancreatic acini. • Large volumes of sodium Bicarbonate solution are secreted by the small ductules and larger ducts leading from the acini. • Pancreatic juice is secreted in Response to the presence of Chyme in the upper portions of the small intestine. 2. Major Components of Pancreatic Secretion and Their Physiologic Roles & 5. Activation of Pancreatic Enzymes • The major functions of pancreatic secretion: 1. To neutralize the acids in the duodenal chyme to optimum range (pH= 7.0-8.0) for activity of pancreatic enzymes. 2. To prevent damage to duodenal mucosa by acid & pepsin. 3. To produce enzymes involved in the digestion of dietary carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Pancreatic Enzymes: The pancreas secrests enzymes that act on all major types of food stuffs. 1. Pancreatic Proteolytic Enzymes (Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Carboxypolypeptidase, Elastase) • Trypsin & Chymotrypsin split whole and partially digested proteins into peptides of various sizes but do not cause release of individual amino acids. • Carboxypolypeptidase splits some peptides into individual amino acids, thus completing digestion of some proteins to amino acids. • When first synthesized in the pancreatic cells, digestive enzymes are in the inactive forms; these enzymes become activated only after they are secreted into the intestinal tract.

Mass 3055.47 Formula C130H220N44O41 Sequence H-His-Ser-Asp-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Glu-Leu-Ser-Arg-Leu-Arg-Asp-Ser- Ala-Arg-Leu-Gln-Arg-Leu-Leu-Gln-Gly-Leu-Val-NH2 Purity >95% Secretin is a peptide hormone produced in the S cells of the duodenum in the crypts of Lieberkühn. Its primary effect is to regulate the pH of the duodenal contents via the control of gastric acid secretion and buffering with bicarbonate. Secretin stimulates the secretion of bile from the liver. It also increases watery bicarbonate solution from pancreatic duct epithelium. Pancreatic acinar cells have secretin receptors in their plasma membrane. As secretin binds to these receptors, it stimulates adenylate cyclase activity and converts ATP to cyclic AMP.[12] Cyclic AMP acts as second messenger in intracellular signal transduction and leads to increase in release of watery carbonate.It is known to promote the normal growth and maintenance of the pancreas. Secretin increases water and bicarbonate secretion from duodenal Brunner's glands in order to buffer the incoming protons of the acidic chyme.[13] It also enhances the effects of cholecystokinin to induce the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile from pancreas and gallbladder, respectively. It counteracts blood glucose concentration spikes by triggering increased insulin release from pancreas, following oral glucose intake.<[14] It also reduces acid secretion from the stomach by inhibiting gastrin release from G cells.[citation needed] This helps neutralize the pH of the digestive products entering the duodenum from the stomach, as digestive enzymes from the pancreas (eg, pancreatic amylase and pancreatic lipase) function optimally at neutral pH.[citation needed] In addition, secretin simulates pepsin secretion which can help break down proteins in food digestion.

PEARSE From the Department ofHistochemistry, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, London, and the Department ofPhysiology, University ofBritish Columbia, Vancouver, Canada SUMMARY Indirect immunofluorescence studies using an antiserum to purified porcine gastric inhibitory polypeptide indicate, in the gastrointestinal tract of dog and man, that this polypeptide is present in cells situated predominantly in the mid-zone of the glands in the duodenum and, to a lesser extent, in the jejunum. Absolute correlation of the gastric inhibitory polypeptide cell with one or other of the known endocrine-like cells identified by electron microscopy awaits confirmation by electron immunocytochemistry. It is here identified as an endocrine polypeptide cell of the APUD series and, provisionally, as the D, cell. While the hormonal status of a given polypeptide depends ultimately on physiological experiments the present results strengthen the view that gastric inhibitory polypeptide is indeed a hormone. In 1969 Brown, Pederson, Jorpes, and Mutt described We report here the results of immunofluorescence an enterogastrone, extractable from porcine intestine, studies on the localization of GIP in human and http://gut.bmj.com/ which strongly inhibited gastric acid secretion.
