A Metabonomics Study of the Modulation of Lipid and Bile Acid Metabolism by the Gut Microbiota and Consequences on Obesity and Fatty Liver Disease A metabonomics study of the modulation of lipid and bile acid metabolism by the gut microbiota and consequences on obesity and fatty liver disease Thesis submitted by Magali H. SARAFIAN Supervisors: Dr. Marc Emmanuel Dumas & Prof. Elaine Holmes For thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and Diploma of Imperial College London Section of Biomolecular Medicine Division of Computational Systems Medicine Department of Surgery and Cancer Imperial College London 2016 ABSTRACT Obesity and fatty liver disease are characterised by an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Genetic and environmental factors strongly contribute to impaired energy homoeostasis and can trigger metabolic disorders such as hyper- tension, hyperglycaemia and hypercholesterolemia which are associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. The mechanisms under- pinning obesity and its co-morbidity are poorly understood but dysregulation of lipid metabolism is likely to contribute and can be studied by metabolic profiling using UPLC-MS. Moreover, the host-gut axis has a strong influence on obesity and fatty liver disease development by modulation of metabolic pathways. The analytical qual- ity of the metabolic profiling methods is critical to understand the aetiopathogenesis of obesity. Hence the aim of this PhD project is to investigate lipid metabolism in obesity and fatty liver disease. I developed and optimised a strategy for characterising the global lipid profile of plasma based on isopropanol precipitation and supplemented this with the development of a targeted assay for obtaining in depth profile of bile acids (BAs) (n=145) since BAs are known to play a specific role in obesity and fatty liver disease. Furthermore, BAs can provide insight into the role of the gut microbiota in obesity as they are metabolised by the gut microbiota. The analytical pipeline for lipid and BA analysis are subsequently applied for two human clinical studies. i) The metabolic signatures associated with subcutaneous and visceral obesity were investigated. A significant increase of LPC (16:0), unconjugated BAs and sulphated BAs with a decrease of PC (16:0/20:3), taurine conjugates was observed in visceral obesity compared to subcutaneous obesity. ii) Subtle disease 1 progression in fatty liver disease, NAFLD and NASH was evaluated. A significant increase of triacylglycerols, hyocholic acid and tauro-conjugated BAs with a decrease of phosphocholines were observed in NASH compared to NAFLD. This phD project illustrated that metabonomic instrumentations (UPLC-MS and UPLC-MS/MS) are non-invasive and powerful analytical techniques to diagnose obe- sity and fatty liver disease. In addition, metabonomic analysis of urine and blood samples may offer the possibility to optimise individual diagnosis and management of patients with obesity and fatty liver disease. 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I certify that this thesis, and the research to which it refers, are the product of my own work, and that any ideas or quotations from the work of other people, published or otherwise, are fully acknowledged in accordance with the standard referencing prac- tices of the discipline.

  • Review: Microbial Transformations of Human Bile Acids Douglas V
    Guzior and Quinn Microbiome (2021) 9:140 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-021-01101-1 REVIEW Open Access Review: microbial transformations of human bile acids Douglas V. Guzior1,2 and Robert A. Quinn2* Abstract Bile acids play key roles in gut metabolism, cell signaling, and microbiome composition. While the liver is responsible for the production of primary bile acids, microbes in the gut modify these compounds into myriad forms that greatly increase their diversity and biological function. Since the early 1960s, microbes have been known to transform human bile acids in four distinct ways: deconjugation of the amino acids glycine or taurine, and dehydroxylation, dehydrogenation, and epimerization of the cholesterol core. Alterations in the chemistry of these secondary bile acids have been linked to several diseases, such as cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. In addition to the previously known transformations, a recent study has shown that members of our gut microbiota are also able to conjugate amino acids to bile acids, representing a new set of “microbially conjugated bile acids.” This new finding greatly influences the diversity of bile acids in the mammalian gut, but the effects on host physiology and microbial dynamics are mostly unknown. This review focuses on recent discoveries investigating microbial mechanisms of human bile acids and explores the chemical diversity that may exist in bile acid structures in light of the new discovery of microbial conjugations.

  • Resistant Starch Can Improve Insulin Sensitivity Independently of the Gut Microbiota Laure B
    Bindels et al. Microbiome (2017) 5:12 DOI 10.1186/s40168-017-0230-5 RESEARCH Open Access Resistant starch can improve insulin sensitivity independently of the gut microbiota Laure B. Bindels1, Rafael R. Segura Munoz1, João Carlos Gomes-Neto1, Valentin Mutemberezi2, Inés Martínez3, Nuria Salazar4, Elizabeth A. Cody1, Maria I. Quintero-Villegas1, Hatem Kittana1, Clara G de los Reyes-Gavilán4, Robert J. Schmaltz1, Giulio G. Muccioli2, Jens Walter3,5 and Amanda E. Ramer-Tait1* Abstract Background: Obesity-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, have reached epidemic proportions in industrialized nations, and dietary interventions for their prevention are therefore important. Resistant starches (RS) improve insulin sensitivity in clinical trials, but the mechanisms underlying this health benefit remain poorly understood. Because RS fermentation by the gut microbiota results in the formation of physiologically active metabolites, we chose to specifically determine the role of the gut microbiota in mediating the metabolic benefits of RS. To achieve this goal, we determined the effects of RS when added to a Western diet on host metabolism in mice with and without a microbiota. Results: RS feeding of conventionalized mice improved insulin sensitivity and redressed some of the Western diet-induced changes in microbiome composition. However, parallel experiments in germ-free littermates revealed that RS-mediated improvements in insulin levels also occurred in the absence of a microbiota. RS reduced gene expression of adipose tissue macrophage markers and altered cecal concentrations of several bile acids in both germ-free and conventionalized mice; these effects were strongly correlated with the metabolic benefits, providing a potential microbiota-independent mechanism to explain the physiological effects of RS.

  • Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Liver Injury: the Role of Hepatic Transport Proteins
    MECHANISMS OF DRUG-INDUCED LIVER INJURY: THE ROLE OF HEPATIC TRANSPORT PROTEINS Kyunghee Yang A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Kim L.R. Brouwer Paul B. Watkins Dhiren Thakker Harvey J. Clewell III Brett A. Howell ©2014 Kyunghee Yang ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kyunghee Yang: Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Liver Injury: The Role of Hepatic Transport Proteins (Under the direction of Kim L.R. Brouwer) The objectives of this research were to investigate mechanisms of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) that involve drug-bile acid (BA) interactions at hepatic transporters, and develop a novel strategy to reliably predict human DILI. Troglitazone (TGZ), an antidiabetic withdrawn from the market due to severe DILI, was employed as a model hepatotoxic drug. Pharmacokinetic modeling of taurocholic acid (TCA, a model BA) disposition data from human and rat sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCH) revealed that species differences exist in TCA hepatocellular efflux pathways; in human SCH, TCA biliary excretion predominated, whereas biliary and basolateral excretion contributed equally to TCA efflux in rat SCH. This finding explains, in part, why rats are less susceptible to DILI compared to humans after administration of drugs that inhibit BA biliary excretion. The present study also revealed for the first time that TGZ sulfate (TS), a major TGZ metabolite, inhibits BA basolateral efflux in addition to biliary excretion. These findings support the hypothesis that TS is an important mediator of altered hepatic BA disposition; increased hepatic TS exposure due to impaired canalicular transport function might predispose a subset of patients to hepatotoxicity.

PARMENTIER From the Department of Internal Medicine, Municipal Hospital, Arnhem, The Netherlands; Rega Institute, Louvain, Belgium SUMMARY Samples of serum, bile, and urine were collected simultaneously from patients with cholestasis of varying aetiology and from patients with cirrhosis; their bile acid composition was determined by gas/liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry In cholestasis, the patterns in all three body fluids differed consistently and strikingly. In serum, cholic acid was the major bile acid and most bile acids (> 93 %) were unsulphated, whereas, in urine, chenodeoxycholic was the major bile acid, and the majority of bile acids (> 60 %) were sulphated. Secondary bile acids were virtually absent in bile, serum, and urine. The total amount ofbile acids excreted for 24 hours correlated highly with the concentration of serum bile acids; in patients with complete obstruction, urinary excretion averaged 71 6 mg/24 h. In cirrhotic patients, serum bile acids were less raised, and chenodeoxy- cholic acid was the predominant acid. In healthy controls, serum bile acids were consistently richer in chenodeoxycholic acid than biliary bile acids, and no bile acids were present in urine. No unusual monohydroxy bile acids were present in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, but, in several patients, there was a considerable amount of hyocholic acid present in the urinary bile acids. The analyses of individual bile acids in serum and urine did not appear to provide helpful information in http://gut.bmj.com/ the differential diagnosis of cholestasis.

  • Alteration of Bile Acid Metabolism by a High-Fat Diet Is Associated with Plasma Transaminase Activities and Glucose Intolerance in Rats
    J Nutr Sci Vitaminol, 65, 45–51, 2019 Alteration of Bile Acid Metabolism by a High-Fat Diet Is Associated with Plasma Transaminase Activities and Glucose Intolerance in Rats Reika YOSHITSUGU, Keidai KIKUCHI, Hitoshi IWAYA, Nobuyuki FUJII, Shota HORI, Dong Geun LEE and Satoshi ISHIZUKA* Laboratory of Nutritional Biochemistry, Research Group of Bioscience and Chemistry, Division of Fundamental Agriscience Research, Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060–8589, Japan (Received July 3, 2018) Summary Ingestion of a high-fat (HF) diet is known to enhance bile acid (BA) secretion, but precise information about the BA molecular species is lacking, especially information on the conjugated BAs in enterohepatic circulation. As cholesterol is the precursor of BAs, we analyzed alterations of the entire BA metabolic pathway in response to a HF diet without the addition of cholesterol and BA in the diet. Additionally, we evaluated the relationships between BA metabolism and some disorders, such as plasma transaminase activities and glucose intolerance induced by the HF diet. Acclimated WKAH/HkmSlc male rats (3 wk old) were divided into two groups fed a control or the HF diet for 22 wk. Fasting blood glu- cose was measured during the experimental period, and an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed at week 21. As a result, ingestion of the HF diet selectively increased the concentration of taurocholic acid in the bile and small intestinal contents as well as deoxycholic acid in the large intestinal contents and feces. These results indicated a selec- tive increase of 12a-hydroxylated BA concentrations in response to the HF diet.
