A Persistence Detector for Metabolic Network Rewiring in an Animal

ABSTRACT: Biological systems must possess mechanisms that prevent inappropriate responses to spurious environmental inputs. Caenorhabditis elegans has two breakdown pathways for the short-chain fatty acid propionate: a canonical, vitamin B12-dependent pathway and a propionate-shunt that is used when vitamin B12 levels are low. The shunt pathway is kept off when there is sufficient flux through the canonical pathway, likely to avoid generating shunt-specific toxic intermediates. Here, we discover a transcriptional regulatory circuit that activates shunt gene expression upon propionate buildup. The nuclear hormone receptors NHR-10 and NHR-68 function together as a ‘persistence detector’ in a type 1, coherent feed-forward loop with an AND-logic gate to delay shunt activation upon propionate accumulation, and to avoid spurious shunt activation in response to a non-sustained pulse of propionate. Together, our findings identify the first persistence detector in an animal, which transcriptionally rewires propionate metabolism to maintain homeostasis.

C. elegans methionine/S-adenosylmethionine cycle activity is sensed and adjusted by a nuclear hormone receptor: RNA-seq dataset 2

Project description:Vitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient that functions in two metabolic pathways: the canonical propionate breakdown pathway and the methionine/S-adenosylmethionine (Met/SAM) cycle. In Caenorhabditis elegans, low vitamin B12, or genetic perturbation of the canonical propionate breakdown pathway results in propionate accumulation and the transcriptional activation of a propionate shunt pathway. This propionate-dependent mechanism requires nhr-10 and is referred to as “B12-mechanism-I”. Here, we report that vitamin B12 represses the expression of Met/SAM cycle genes by a propionate-independent mechanism we refer to as “B12-mechanism-II”. This mechanism is activated by perturbations in the Met/SAM cycle, genetically or due to low dietary vitamin B12. B12-mechanism-II requires nhr-114 to activate Met/SAM cycle gene expression, the vitamin B12 transporter, pmp-5, and adjust influx and efflux of the cycle by activating msra-1 and repressing cbs-1, respectively. Taken together, Met/SAM cycle activity is sensed and transcriptionally adjusted to be in a tight metabolic regime.

Effect of depletion of NHR-114/HNF4, and maternal B12 treatment on gene expression of C. elegans in Larva 4 stage.

Project description:Vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency is a critical problem worldwide. Such deficiency in infants has long been known to increase the propensity to develop obesity and diabetes later in life through unclear mechanisms. Here, we establish a ∆nhr-114 animal as a Caenorhabditis elegans model to study how early-life B12 impacts adult health. We find that early-life B12 deficiency causes increased lipogenesis and lipid peroxidation in adult worms, which in turn induces germline defects through ferroptosis. In order to further identify genes that respond to early-life B12, we carried out an RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) assay to analyze the gene expression profiles of WT and ∆nhr-114 animals maternally supplied with 8 μM B12 or not.

Transcriptomic changes associated with growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv wild-type strain and ∆prpR mutant in mineral medium supplemented with cholesterol as the sole carbon source or standard medium supplemented with vitamin B12.

Project description:RNA-Seq results accompanying submission of a manuscript: "Cholesterol-dependent transcriptome remodeling reveals new insight into the contribution of cholesterol to Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis" describing the role of cholesterol and vitamin B12 in shaping the transcriptome of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and M. tuberculosis ∆prpR - propionate regulator (PrpR) mutant. Next generation sequencing results are provided in three independent biological replicates for each strain growing in three different media - minimal medium with glycerol or cholesterol as the sole carbon source and standard 7H9/10% OADC medium. The influence of vitamin B12 on M. tuberculosis transcriptome was analysed on 7H9/10% OADC medium supplemented with B12. The study allowed us to re-establish the list of genes potentially involved in cholesterol metabolism. We further proposed a novel regulatory function of vitamin B12 and PrpR, a propionate regulator, in coordinated cholesterol breakdown metabolite dissipation and virulent phenotype induction. Finally, we demonstrated that a key role of cholesterol in Mtb metabolism is not only providing carbon and energy but also inducing a transcriptome remodeling program that helps in developing tolerance to the unfavorable host cell environment.

Propionate stimulates MUC2 expression through metabolism of β-oxidation-like pathway that boosts mitochondrial respiration and resultant induction of HIF-2α activation

Project description:Microbiota-derived short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are one of the hottest issues for its various bioactivities in the gut, immune system extending to brain or other organs through several axises. Though many intensive studies have been implementing til recent, some parts among a plenty of actions occurred in the gut solely are unrevealed so as their mechanism. Propionate, one of the representative SCFAs with butyrate is basically known for its inhibiting activity of histone deacetylation (HDAC) and stimulation of mucin expression in mucosae. However, the mechanism of the stimulating action needs to be elucidated in more detail and understandable way. Here, we firstly investigated the effect of propionate on expression of MUC2, one of the main subtype mucin, in goblet cell line LS 174T and suggest a mechanism of the action along the order of events, linked to metabolic shift. Propionate at the concentration of 1 mM to 4 mM induced the expression of MUC2 gradually in the transcriptional- and protein level at 24 h. At the initial parts of treatment of propionate, the odd SCFA was metabolized along vitamin B12-independent β-oxidation-like pathway and the metabolism led cells to boost mitochondrial respiration until 18 h after treatment. However, another possible metabolism pathway, vitamin B12-dependent carboxylation pathway was not involved to the resulted action. At the latter parts, the master regulator of hypoxia, Hypoxia-induced factors (HIFs) were fluctuated respectively and among them, activated HIF-2α was identified to regulate the expression level of MUC2. In summary, propionate might induce β-oxidation-like pathway at the initial part so that mitochondrial respiration is upregulated. In an effort of LS 174T to adapt to naturally formed hypoxia by response to propionate, each activity of HIF subtypes was regulated in a way of entangled to each other and activated HIF-2α stimulated MUC2 expression.

Aerobic Adaptation and Metabolic Dynamics of Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 20271: Insights from Comparative Transcriptomics and Surfaceome Analysis

Project description:Propionibacterium freudenreichii (PFR) DSM 20271 is a bacterium known for its ability to thrive in diverse environments and produce vitamin B12. Despite its anaerobic preference, recent studies have elucidated its ability to prosper in the presence of oxygen, prompting a deeper exploration of its physiology under aerobic conditions. Here, we investigated the response of DSM 20271 to aerobic growth by employing comparative transcriptomic and surfaceome analyses alongside metabolite profiling. Cultivation under controlled partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) conditions revealed significant increases in biomass formation and altered metabolite production, notably B12 vitamin, pseudovitamin-B12, propionate and acetate, under aerobic conditions. Transcriptomic analysis identified differential expression of genes involved in lactate metabolism, TCA cycle, and electron transport chain, suggesting metabolic adjustments to aerobic environments. Moreover, surfaceome analysis unveiled growth environment-dependent changes in surface protein abundance, with implications for sensing and adaptation to atmospheric conditions. Supplementation experiments with key compounds highlighted the potential for enhancing aerobic growth, emphasizing the importance of iron and α-ketoglutarate availability. Furthermore, in liquid culture, FeSO4 supplementation led to increased heme production and reduced vitamin B12 production, highlighting the impact of oxygen and iron availability on the metabolic pathways. These findings deepen our understanding of PFR's physiological responses to oxygen availability and offer insights for optimizing its growth in industrial applications.

Transthyretin orchestrates vitamin B12-induced stress resilience

Project description:Background: Chronic stress significantly contributes to mood- and anxiety disorders. Previous data suggest a correlative connection between vitamin B12 supplementation, depression, and stress resilience. However, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Methods: Using the chronic variable stress mouse model coupled with RNA-sequencing, we determined vitamin B12-induced transcriptional changes related to stress resilience. By viral-mediated gene transfer and in vivo epigenome editing, we reveal a functional pathway linking vitamin B12, DNA methylation, and depressive-like symptoms. Results: We identified Transthyretin (Ttr) as a sex-specific key target of vitamin B12 action in chronic stress. Accordingly, TTR expression was increased postmortem in the prefrontal cortex of male, but not female, depressed patients. Virally altered Ttr in the prefrontal cortex functionally contributed to stress- and depression-related behaviors, changes in dendritic spine morphology, and gene expression. In stressed mice, vitamin B12 reduced DNAme in the Ttr promoter region. Importantly, using in vivo epigenome editing to alter DNAme in the brains of living mice for the first time, we establish a direct causal link between DNAme on Ttr and stress-associated behaviors. Discussion: In summary, using state-of-the-art techniques, this study uncovers a mechanistic link between cobalamin supplementation, Ttr, and markers of chronic stress and depression, encouraging further studies into dietary interventions for mood disorders.
