Endotoxemia is associated with an adverse metabolic profile.

ABSTRACT: Our aim was to analyze whether endotoxemia, i.e. translocation of LPS to circulation, is reflected in the serum metabolic profile in a general population and in participants with cardiometabolic disorders. We investigated three Finnish cohorts separately and in a meta-analysis (n?=?7178), namely population-based FINRISK97, FinnTwin16 consisting of young adult twins, and Parogene, a random cohort of cardiac patients. Endotoxemia was determined as serum LPS activity and metabolome by an NMR platform. Potential effects of body mass index (BMI), smoking, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and coronary heart disease (CHD) status were considered. Endotoxemia was directly associated with concentrations of VLDL, IDL, LDL, and small HDL lipoproteins, VLDL particle diameter, total fatty acids (FA), glycoprotein acetyls (GlycA), aromatic and branched-chain amino acids, and Glc, and inversely associated with concentration of large HDL, diameters of LDL and HDL, as well as unsaturation degree of FAs. Some of these disadvantageous associations were significantly stronger in smokers and subjects with high BMI, but did not differ between participants with different CHD status. In participants with MetS, however, the associations of endotoxemia with FA parameters and GlycA were particularly strong. The metabolic profile in endotoxemia appears highly adverse, involving several inflammatory characters and risk factors for cardiometabolic disorders.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Intestinal metabolism and microbiota profiles are impaired in obesity and insulin resistance. Moreover, dysbiotic gut microbiota has been suggested to promote systemic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance through the release of endotoxins particularly lipopolysaccharides. We have previously shown that exercise training improves intestinal metabolism in healthy men. To understand whether changes in intestinal metabolism interact with gut microbiota and its release of inflammatory markers, we studied the effects of sprint interval (SIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on intestinal metabolism and microbiota in subjects with insulin resistance. METHODS:Twenty-six, sedentary subjects (prediabetic, n = 9; type 2 diabetes, n = 17; age, 49 [SD, 4] yr; body mass index, 30.5 [SD, 3]) were randomized into SIT or MICT. Intestinal insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (GU) and fatty acid uptake (FAU) from circulation were measured using positron emission tomography. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and serum inflammatory markers with multiplex assays and enzyme-linked immunoassay kit. RESULTS:V?O2peak improved only after SIT (P = 0.01). Both training modes reduced systematic and intestinal inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-?, lipopolysaccharide binding protein) (time P < 0.05). Training modified microbiota profile by increasing Bacteroidetes phylum (time P = 0.03) and decreasing Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (time P = 0.04). Moreover, there was a decrease in Clostridium genus (time P = 0.04) and Blautia (time P = 0.051). Only MICT decreased jejunal FAU (P = 0.02). Training had no significant effect on intestinal GU. Colonic GU associated positively with Bacteroidetes and inversely with Firmicutes phylum, ratio Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and Blautia genus. CONCLUSIONS:Intestinal substrate uptake associates with gut microbiota composition and whole-body insulin sensitivity. Exercise training improves gut microbiota profiles and reduces endotoxemia.

Project description:Endotoxemia induced by the administration of low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to healthy human volunteers is a well-established experimental protocol and has served as a reproducible platform for investigating the responses to systemic inflammation. Because metabolic composition of a tissue or body fluid is uniquely altered by stimuli and provides information about the dominant regulatory mechanisms at various cellular processes, understanding the global metabolic response to systemic inflammation constitutes a major part in this investigation complementing the studies undertaken so far in both clinical and systems biology fields. This article communicates the first proof-of-principle metabonomic analysis, which comprised global biochemical profiles in human plasma samples from healthy subjects given intravenous endotoxin at 2 ng/kg. Concentrations of a total of 366 plasma biochemicals were determined in archived blood samples collected from 15 endotoxin-treated subjects at five time points within 24 h after treatment and compared with control samples collected from four saline-treated subjects. Principal component analysis within this data set determined the sixth hour as a critical time point separating development and recovery phases of the LPS-induced metabolic changes. Consensus clustering of the differential metabolites identified two distinct subsets of metabolites that displayed common coherent profiles with opposing directionality. The first group of metabolites, which were mostly associated with pathways related to lipid metabolism, was upregulated within the first 6 h and downregulated by the 24th hour following LPS administration. The second group of metabolites, in contrast, was first downregulated until the sixth hour, then upregulated. Metabolites in this group were predominantly amino acids or their derivatives. In summary, nontargeted biochemical profiling and unsupervised multivariate analyses highlighted the prominent roles of lipid and protein metabolism in regulating the response to systemic inflammation while also revealing their dynamics in opposite directions.
