Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze gene response to a 10-week dietary intervention for weight loss in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of overweight/obese male children. PBMCs were obtained from 12 overweight/obese boys for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We performed the microarray analysis at baseline and after a weight loss intervention program in a total of 24 samples. They were distributed by dietary response as high and low responders.

Project description:Background: Despite the established relation between energy restriction and metabolic health, the most beneficial nutrient composition of a weight-loss diet is still subject of debate. Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the additional effects of nutrient quality on top of energy restriction(ER). Methods: A parallel-designed 12-week 25%ER dietary intervention study was conducted. Participants aged 40-70 years with abdominal obesity were randomized over three groups: a 25%ER high nutrient quality diet (n = 40); a 25%ER low nutrient quality diet (n = 40); or a habitual diet (n = 30). Both ER diets were nutritionally adequate, the high nutrient quality ER diet was enriched in monounsaturated and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, and plant protein and reduced in fructose. Before and after the intervention intra-hepatic lipids, body fat distribution, fasting and postprandial responses to a mixed meal shake challenge test of cardio-metabolic risk factors, lipoproteins, vascular measurements, and adipose tissue transcriptome were assessed. Results: The high quality ER diet (-8.4 ± 3.2) induced 2.1 kg more weight loss (P = 0.007) than the low quality ER diet (-6.3 ± 3.9), reduced fasting serum total cholesterol (P = 0.014) and plasma triglycerides (P < 0.001), promoted an anti-atherogenic lipoprotein profile and induced a more pronounced decrease in adipose tissue gene expression of energy metabolism pathways than the low quality ER diet. Explorative analyses showed that the difference in weight loss between both ER diets were specifically present in insulin sensitive subjects (HOMA-IR ≤ 2.5), in whom the high nutrient quality diet induced 3.9 kg more weight loss than the low nutrient quality diet. Conclusion: A high nutrient quality 25%ER diet is more beneficial for cardiometabolic health than a low nutrient quality 25%ER diet. Overweight insulin sensitive subjects may benefit more from a high than a low nutrient quality ER diet with respect to weight loss, due to potential attenuation of glucose-induced lipid synthesis in adipose tissue.

Project description:Despite accepted health benefits of dietary fiber, little is known about the mechanisms by which fiber deprivation impacts the gut microbiota and alters disease risk. Using a gnotobiotic model, in which mice were colonized with a synthetic human gut microbiota, we elucidated the functional interactions between dietary fiber, the gut microbiota and the colonic mucus barrier, which serves as a primary defence against pathogens. We show that during chronic or intermittent dietary fiber deficiency, the gut microbiota resorts to host-secreted mucus glycoproteins as a nutrient source, leading to erosion of the colonic mucus barrier. Dietary fiber deprivation promoted greater epithelial access and lethal colitis by the mucosal pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium, but only in the presence of a fiber-deprived microbiota that is pushed to degrade the mucus layer. Our work reveals intricate pathways linking diet, gut microbiome and intestinal barrier dysfunction, which could be exploited to improve health using dietary therapeutics. Germ-free mice (Swiss Webster) were colonized with synthetic human gut microbiota comprising of 14 species belonging to five different phyla (names of bacterial species: Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides uniformis, Barnesiella intestinihominis, Eubacterium rectale, Marvinbryantia formatexigens, Collinsella aerofaciens, Escherichia coli HS, Clostridium symbiosum, Desulfovibrio piger, Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Roseburia intestinalis). These mice were fed either a fiber-rich diet or a fiber-free diet for about 6 weeks. The mice were then sacrificed and their cecal tissues were immediately flash frozen for RNA extraction. The extracted RNA was subjected to microarray analysis based on Mouse Gene ST 2.1 strips using the Affy Plus kit. Expression values for each gene were calculated using robust multi-array average (RMA) method.

Project description:The prevalence of obesity has been increasing rapidly worldwide during the past two decades. This is alarming, since obesity has considerable effects on morbidity and mortality. The majority of gene expression studies about the effect of obesity and weight loss have been performed using the adipose tissue for mRNA extraction. However, also the liver plays a central role in maintaining energy balance. To our knowledge, no overall analysis of hepatic gene expression in response to changes in nutritional status has been made in humans Therefore, it is important to investigate how a short-time hypocaloric diet affects overall hepatic gene expression and the metabolic profile in a group of overweight and obese women. The subjects (n=31) were middle-aged, overweight (BMI>25 kg/m2) women with gallstone disease scheduled for an elective gallbladder operation. The intervention subjects were placed on a hypocaloric AHA step I diet with a recommended daily energy intake of 5.0 MJ. The objective was to reduce 0.5 kg of body weight per week. The control subjects were instructed to continue their habitual diet and not to lose weight. Basic clinical measurements and laboratory analyses were performed twice at baseline and at two week intervals during the weight reduction period. Surgical liver biopsies were obtained at the end of the weight reduction period. RNA samples of 4 individuals from the intervention group and 4 individuals from the control group were selected for the microarray analysis. The results from the microarray analysis were fairly surprising. Only one gene was up-regulated and the rest 142 down-regulated in the diet intervention group compared to the control group when a minimum of 2-fold change was set as the limit. The global decrease in hepatic gene expression was unexpected but the results are interesting, with several genes not previously linked to weight reduction. The decrease in triglyceride and fasting plasma insulin concentrations observed in our study is in accordance with results from many previous weight-loss trials. Keywords: Overall hepatic gene expression associated with obesity and moderate weight loss in a group of overweight and obese middle-aged women.

Project description:A diet rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols supports the normal intestinal barrier function crucial for intestinal and overall health. Birch wood-derived fiber containing glucuronoxylans (GX)- and polyphenols have the potential in multiple food technological applications and have favorable effects on gut microbiota and colonic metabolism. However, their impact on intestinal barrier function is unknown. To elucidate their potential as new intestinal health-supporting food ingredients, we investigated the effect of GX- and polyphenol-rich extract (GXpoly ) and highly purified GX-rich extract (pureGX) on the gene expression of the colon mucosa.

Project description:The mechanisms responsible for weight loss-induced improvement in insulin sensitivity are partially understood. Greater insight can now be achieved through deep phenotyping and data integration. Here, we used an integrative approach to investigate associations between changes in insulin sensitivity and variations in lifestyle factors (diet and physical activity), subcutaneous adipose tissue (sAT) gene expression, metabolomics in serum, urine and feces, and gut microbiota composition after a 6-week calorie restriction period in overweight and obese adults

Project description:We investigated the effect of a saturated (SFA) and a monounsaturated (MUFA) rich diet on insulin sensitivity and adipose tissue gene expression profiles of subjects at risk for metabolic syndrome. A controlled-feeding trial was performed with 20 moderately overweight subjects. Subjects received a SFA-rich or a MUFA-rich diet for 8 weeks. Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were obtained and insulin sensitivity was measured. Whole genome micro-array analysis was performed on the adipose tissue samples. Consumption of a SFA-rich diet resulted in a pro-inflammatory 'obese-like' gene expression profile while consumption of a MUFA-rich diet caused a more anti-inflammatory profile. This suggests that replacement of dietary SFA by MUFA could prevent adipose tissue inflammation and may reduce the risk for inflammation related diseases such as the metabolic syndrome. In a parallel controlled feeding trial, subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were collected from moderately overweight human subjects at baseline and after 8 weeks consumption of either SFA-rich or MUFA-rich diets. RNA was isolated from the samples using Trizol and the Qiagen RNeasy Micro kit (Qiagen, Venlo, the Netherlands). RNA was was labeled using a one-cycle cDNA labeling kit (MessageAmpTM II-Biotin Enhanced Kit, Ambion, Inc.) and hybridized to Affymetrix NuGO_Hs1a52018 arrays.
