An internal nutrient sensor detects specific dietary amino acids and promotes food consumption in Drosophila

Project description:Adequate protein intake is crucial for animals. Despite the recent progress in understanding protein hunger and satiety in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, how fruit flies assess prospective dietary protein sources and ensure protein consumption remains elusive. We show here that three specific amino acids, L-glutamate (L-Glu), L-alanine (L-Ala), and L-aspartate (L-Asp), but not the D-enantiomers, rapidly promote food consumption in fruit flies when present in food. The effect of dietary amino acids to promote food consumption is independent of mating experience and internal nutritional status. Calcium imaging experiments show that six brain neurons expressing diuretic hormone 44 (DH44) can be rapidly and directly activated by these three amino acids during feeding. Genetic analysis shows that DH44+ neurons are both necessary and sufficient for dietary amino acids to promote food consumption. By conducting single cell RNAseq analysis, we also identify a amino acid transporter, CG13248, which is highly expressed in DH44+ neurons and is required for dietary amino acids to promote food consumption. Therefore, these data suggest that dietary amino acids may enter DH44+ neurons via CG13248 and modulate their activity and hence food consumption. Taken together, these data identify an internal amino acid sensor in the fly brain that evaluate food sources post-ingestively and facilitates adequate protein intake. These results shed critical light on the regulation of protein homeostasis at organismal levels by the nervous system.

Transcriptomic analysis of Campylobacter jejuni grown in medium containing serine as a main energy source

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most important causes of food-borne diseases in industrialized countries. It is known that amino acids are important nutrient source for this pathogen, because C. jejuni lacks enzymes related to glycolysis. However, the characteristics on metabolism of C. jejuni grown in the nutrient restricted medium with a specific amino acid is not fully elucidated. This study shows that C. jejuni NCTC11168 grew well in the nutrient restricted medium containing serine, aspartate, glutamate, and proline. The single subtraction of serine significantly reduced the growth, while three other amino acids did not, suggesting the priority of serine among the four amino acids. In the transcriptomic analysis of C. jejuni NCTC11168 grown in medium with serine as a main energy source. Serine seemed to be sensed by some chemoreceptors and the C. jejuni might reached an adaptation stage with active growth. That is, the expression of flagellar assembly components was downregulated and the biosynthesis of multiple amino acids and nucleotide sugars were upregulated. These data suggest the higher requirement of serine as a nutrient of C. jejuni NCTC11168.

Short-Term Time-Restricted Feeding Alters Rhythmicity of Lipid and Amino Acid Metabolites in Overweight Men

Project description:Time-restricted feeding improves metabolic health independently of dietary macronutrient composition or energy restriction. To understand the mechanisms underpinning the effects of time-restricted feeding, we investigated the metabolic and transcriptomic profile of skeletal muscle and serum samples from 11 overweight/obese men. In muscle, 4-10% of transcripts and 14% of metabolites were periodic, with the amplitude of the metabolites lower after time-restricted feeding. Core clock genes were unaltered by either intervention, while time-restricted feeding induced rhythmicity of genes related to lipid and amino acid transport. In serum, 49-65% of the metabolites had diurnal rhythms across both conditions, with the majority being lipids. Time-restricted feeding shifted the skeletal muscle metabolite profile from predominantly lipids to amino acids. Our results show time-restricted feeding differentially affects the amplitudes and rhythmicity of serum and skeletal muscle metabolites, and regulates the rhythmicity of genes controlling lipid and amino acid transport, without perturbing the core clock.

The effect of Methionine Restriction using oxidized casein as protein source on the transcriptome of mouse IWAT

Project description:Ingestion of a diet with a restricted Methionine (MR) content results in robust activation of a set of browning genes in IWAT (inguinal white adipose tissue). So far, data were obtained using a mix of elemental amino acids as the dietary protein source, which was replaced in this experiment with casein. To reduce methionine content, casein was oxidized and methionine was added back to a concentration similar to the diets using elemental amino acids as protein source. Results show that mice reduce body weight and adiposity on MR containing oxidized casein similar to MR containing elemental amino acids. Similarly, energy expenditure, as well as food and water intake were increased. The RNAseq experiment was conducted to compare the effect of MR using these two protein sources on the IWAT transcriptome.

Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Cellular Reprogramming in Advanced Colon Cancer Following FOLFOX-Bevacizumab Treatment

Project description:The combination of FOLFOX and bevacizumab (FOLFOX-Bev) is a promising treatment for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). To gain insights into the cellular changes associated with FOLFOX-Bev treatment, we conducted single-cell transcriptomic analysis of CRC samples derived from a patient before and after treatment. Our results show that cancer cells with high proliferative, metastatic, and pro-angiogenic properties respond better to FOLFOX-Bev treatment. Moreover, FOLFOX-Bev enhances CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, thereby boosting the anti-tumor immune response. Conversely, FOLFOX-Bev impairs the functionality of tumor-associated macrophages, plasma cells, and cancer-associated fibroblasts, leading to a decrease in VEGFB-mediated angiogenesis. Furthermore, FOLFOX-Bev treatment reset intercellular communication, which could potentially affect the function of non-cancer cells. Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of advanced CRC to FOLFOX-Bev treatment and highlight potential targets for improving the efficacy of this treatment strategy.

The effect of Methionine Restriction using oxidized casein as protein source on the transcriptome of mouse livers

Project description:Ingestion of a diet with a restricted Methionine (MR) content results in robust activation of hepatic stress pathways regulated by PERK, ATF4, and Nfe2l2. In addition, genes regulating hepatic lipogenesis are downregulated. So far, data were obtained using a mix of elemental amino acids as the dietary protein source, which was replaced in this experiment with casein. To reduce methionine content, casein was oxidized and methionine was added back to a concentration similar to the diets using elemental amino acids as protein source. Results show that mice reduce body weight and adiposity on MR containing oxidized casein similar to MR containing elemental amino acids. Similarly, energy expenditure, as well as food and water intake were increased. The RNAseq experiment was conducted to compare the effect of MR using these two protein sources on the hepatic transcriptome.

Hyperglycemia and a Common Variant of GCKR Are Associated with the Levels of Eight Amino Acids in 9,371 Finnish Men

Project description:Objective: Insulin regulates amino acid metabolism. We investigated whether glycemia and 43 genetic risk variants for hyperglycemia/type 2 diabetes affect amino acid levels in a large population-based cohort. Subjects and Methods: A total of 9,371 non-diabetic or newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic Finnish men from the population-based METSIM Study were studied. Proton NMR spectroscopy was used to measure plasma levels of 8 amino acids. Genotyping of 42 SNPs and mRNA microarray analysis from 200 subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were performed. Results: Increasing fasting and/or 2-hour plasma glucose levels were associated with increasing levels of alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine and tyrosine, and decreasing levels of histidine and glutamine. We also found significant correlations between insulin sensitivity (Matsuda ISI) and expression of genes regulating amino acid metabolism. Only one SNP (rs780094 in GCKR) of the 42 risk SNPs for type 2 diabetes or hyperglycemia was significantly associated with the levels of alanine, isoleucine, and glutamine. Conclusions : We observed that the levels of branched-chain, aromatic amino acids and alanine increased and the levels of glutamine and histidine decreased with increasing glycemia. These associations seemed to be mediated by insulin resistance, at least in part. GCKR rs780094 was significantly associated with several amino acids.
