The impact of dietary cellulose on transcriptional profiles of colonic epithelial cells during inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Although dietary cellulose is considered health promoting, there is still a lack of understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to shed light on possible effects of the fiber on key players in intestinal homeostasis, including intestinal epithelial cells. Method: Mice were fed a diet containing cellulose as the only source of fiber (CD, control diet) or a fiber free diet (FFD, fiber-free diet) for four weeks and then treated with dextran sulphate sodium in the drinking water for five days. To ensure that gene signatures were derived from colonic epithelial cells and not from contaminating lymphocytes, RAG1 KO mice deficient in intraepithelial lymphocytes were used. Results: The analysis of differential expressed genes of colonic epithelial cells revealed multiple effects of dietary cellulose on the transcriptional profiles. In addition, cellulose caused a distinct clustering when comparing signature genes of different epithelial cell types. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that dietary cellulose impacts transcriptional programs in colonic epithelial cells during inflammation.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate whether long term intake of pea fiber would improve colonic barrier, bacterial profile and alter colonic gene expression using DNA microarray. Fifty weaned pigs were randomly allocated into 2 groups receiving control and fibrous diet with inclusion of pea fiber from weaning age until d 160. The two diets had similar nutrient levels. Pigs fed pea fiber diet (PF diet) had markedly decreased overall average daily feed intake (ADFI) and Feed:Gain in growing and finishing period (P<0.05). In addition, long term intake of PF diet induced deeper crypt (+50 %, P<0.05), increased protein expression of colonic mucin and sIgA (+13～16 %, P<0.05). Resulting from the increased lactobacillus content (P<0.05), moreover, pigs fed PF diet had significantly higher concentration of colonic total short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and acetic acid. DNA microarray results indicated that feeding PF diet induced alterations in the expression of colonic cancer, immune response and lipid metabolism-related genes, as well as genes involved in signal pathway such as intestinal immune network for IgA production, PPAR signaling pathway and nutrient metabolism-related pathways. Collectively, our results suggested that long term intake of PF diet would improve colonic health via altering colonic bacteria profile, colonic barriers, immune and metabolism related protein or gene expressions. A total of 50 weaned pigs (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire, initial body weight: 7.2±0.5 kg) were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 5 pens each group and 5 pig each pen. Pigs were fed control (Control) and fibrous diets (10～20 % inclusion of pea fiber, PF) from weaning at 28 day to 160 day-old-age, which is subjected to phase feeding by weaning diet (weaning to d 30 post-weaning), growing diet (d 30～90 postweaning) and finishing diet (d 90～160 postweaning) according to their physiological stage. At d 160 postweaning, four pigs each group were selected to be slaughtered for collection of colonic tissues and DNA microarray was applied to the colonic tissues for analysis of gene expression.
