Human intestinal bitter taste receptors regulate innate immune responses and metabolic regulators in obesity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: An expression profiling was conducted to analyse the effect of the bitter tasting compounds denatonium benzoate (DB) or aloin on the transcriptome of human jejunal crypts compared to DMEM-treated crypts. These two bitter compounds are agonists for the human bitter taste receptor TAS2R43. We took advantage of a deletion polymorphism for TAS2R43, that exists in about 33% of the population to compare the effects of the TAS2R43 agonists in obese subjects that express (TAS2R43(+)) or do not express (TAS2R43(-)) TAS2R43. Primary jejunal crypts from lean (multi-organ donors) or obese (RYGB surgery) subjects were cultured for 24 hours and treated for 4 hours with either DMEM (control) or 1 mM DB or 30 µM aloin. In total 48 mRNA samples were subjected to RNAseq analysis.
