Diet change affects intestinal microbiota restoration and improves vertical sleeve gastrectomy outcome in diet-induced obese rats.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Obesity, a worldwide health problem, is linked to an abnormal gut microbiota and is currently most effectively treated by bariatric surgery. Our aim was to characterize the microbiota of high-fat fed Sprague-Dawley rats when subjected to bariatric surgery (i.e., vertical sleeve gastrectomy) and posterior refeeding with either a high-fat or control diet. We hypothesized that bariatric surgery followed by the control diet was more effective in reverting the microbiota modifications caused by the high-fat diet when compared to either of the two factors alone. METHODS:Using next-generation sequencing of ribosomal RNA amplicons, we analyzed and compared the composition of the cecal microbiota after vertical sleeve gastrectomy with control groups representing non-operated rats, control fed, high-fat fed, and post-operative diet-switched animals. Rats were fed either a high-fat or control low-fat diet and were separated into three comparison groups after eight weeks comprising no surgery, sham surgery, and vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Half of the rats were then moved from the HFD to the control diet. Using next-generation sequencing of ribosomal RNA amplicons, we analyzed the composition of the cecal microbiota of rats allocated to the vertical sleeve gastrectomy group and compared it to that of the non-surgical, control fed, high-fat fed, and post-operative diet-switched groups. Additionally, we correlated different biological parameters with the genera exhibiting the highest variation in abundance between the groups. RESULTS:The high-fat diet was the strongest driver of altered taxonomic composition, relative microbial abundance, and diversity in the cecum. These effects were partially reversed in the diet-switched cohort, especially when combined with sleeve gastrectomy, resulting in increased diversity and shifting relative abundances. Several highly-affected genera were correlated with obesity-related parameters. CONCLUSIONS:The dysbiotic state caused by high-fat diet was improved by the change to the lower fat, higher fiber control diet. Bariatric surgery contributed significantly and additively to the diet in restoring microbiome diversity and complexity. These results highlight the importance of dietary intervention following bariatric surgery for improved restoration of cecal diversity, as neither surgery nor change of diet alone had the same effects as when combined.

Project description:Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity and its comorbidities. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind its beneficial effects is limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) comprise an important mode of intercellular communication. They carry nucleic acids, hormones, and signaling molecules and regulate multiple processes. Our aim was to test the role of EVs in the effects of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) using a mouse model. Small intestinal EVs were obtained from the mice that underwent VSG or control surgery and were on chow or high-fat diet or diet-restricted, and then they were subjected to the proteomic analysis. Enteroid and bacterial cultures were treated with EVs to evaluate their survival effect. A mouse cohort received intraduodenal administration of EVs from VSG or Sham mice for 10 days. Body weight, glucose metabolism, and intestinal morphology were evaluated. EVs were enriched in the intestinal lumen and mucus of VSG compared with Sham mice. Protein composition of VSG and Sham-derived EVs was highly distinct. When introduced into culture, VSG EVs decreased survival of intestinal enteroids and, conversely, promoted proliferation of bacteria. Mice administered with EVs obtained from VSG and Sham groups did not show differences in body weight, food intake, or glucose metabolism. Intestinal morphology was altered, as VSG EVs caused reduction of ileal villi length and decreased epithelial proliferation in the jejunum and ileum. VSG causes remodeling of intestinal EVs, which results in unique protein composition. VSG-derived EVs exhibit cytotoxic effects on epithelial cells and reduce proliferation of intestinal progenitor cells in mice.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study that investigates the impact of bariatric surgery on protein composition of intestinal extracellular vesicles. Extracellular vesicle composition is greatly altered after vertical sleeve gastrectomy and may potentially modulate various signaling pathways. In our study, extracellular vesicles from vertical sleeve gastrectomy-treated mice promote bacterial proliferation but exhibit cytotoxic effect on epithelial cells and reduce proliferation of intestinal progenitor cells in mice.

Project description:Nearly 80% of patients that receive bariatric surgery are women, yet mechanistic preclinical studies have focused on males. The goal of this study was to determine the metabolic impact of diet- and surgery-induced weight loss in males, females, and ovariectomized females. All mice were fed a 60% high-fat diet (HFD) before undergoing either vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) or sham surgery. Mice either remained on an HFD or were switched to a standard chow diet postsurgically. When maintained on an HFD, males and females decreased fat mass and improved oral glucose tolerance after VSG. After dietary intervention, additional adiposity was lost in both surgical groups. Ovariectomized females showed a blunted decrease in fat mass on an HFD, but lost significant adiposity after dietary intervention. Energy expenditure was impacted by dietary and not surgical intervention across all groups. Males decreased hepatic triglyceride levels after VSG, which was further decreased after dietary intervention. Intact and ovariectomized females had a blunted decrease in hepatic triglycerides after VSG, but a significant decrease after dietary intervention. The more pronounced effect of VSG on hepatic lipids in males is strongly associated with changes in hepatic expression of genes and microRNAs previously linked to hepatic lipid regulation and systemic energy homeostasis. These data highlight the importance of postsurgical diet on metabolic outcomes across sexes. Furthermore, these data suggest the impact of VSG on hepatic triglycerides is diet-dependent in females and support the hypothesis that males and females achieve similar metabolic outcome, at least within the liver, via distinct mechanisms.NEW & NOTEWORTHY These data highlight the interaction of postsurgical diet after bariatric surgery on metabolic outcomes across sexes.
