Project description:Recent findings reveal the importance of tryptophan-initiated de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthesis in the liver, a process previously considered secondary to biosynthesis from nicotinamide. Here we show that inhibiting α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde decarboxylase (ACMSD) promotes de novo NAD+ synthesis and reduces DNA damage ex vivo, in vivo and in human liver organoid (HLO) models. In mouse models of MASLD/MASH, de novo NAD+ biosynthesis is suppressed, and transcriptomic DNA damage signatures correlate with disease severity; In humans, Mendelian randomization-based genetic analysis suggests a notable impact of genomic stress on liver disease susceptibility. Therapeutic inhibiting ACMSD in mice elevates liver NAD+ and reverses MASLD/MASH, mitigating fibrosis, inflammation and DNA damage. Similar outcomes are recapitulated in HLO models of steatohepatitis and DNA damage. Our findings highlight the benefits of ACMSD inhibition for boosting hepatic NAD+ and genomic protection, indicating its therapeutic promise in liver diseases marked by NAD+ and genomic stress.

Project description:Lcn2 is involved in host defense against pathogens, but the function in intestinal mucosal immunity and inflammation remains largely unknown. Genetic ablation of Lcn2 results in early-onset colitis and spontaneous emergence of right-sided colonic tumors in the setting of IL-10 deficiency (Lcn2-/-;IL10-/- mice). To address whether inflammation or other mechanisms drives the site-specific tumor locations gene expression analyses in proximal versus distal colons of Lcn2-/- IL10-/- mice were performed. Differential expression between distal colon versus cecum and proximal colon samples were analyses using Affymetrix MoGene 2.0 ST arrays on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections of Lcn2-/-; IL10-/-mice.

Project description:Mycobacteria can synthesize NAD+ using either the de novo biosynthesis pathway or the salvage pathway. The deletion of the three genes involved specifically in the NAD+ de novo biosynthesis pathway in the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis had no effect on the growth of the strain in vivo. In contrast, the same deletion in the bovine pathogen Mycobacterium bovis resulted in a strain that could not grow in vivo and could only grow in vitro with substantial nicotinamide supplmentation. This striking difference was attributed to the known defect in the nicotinamidase PncA of M. bovis, since introducing the M. tuberculosis pncA gene into the M. bovis strain defective for de novo NAD+ biosynthesis restored growth in vitro and in vivo. This study demonstrates that NAD+ starvation is a cidal event in mycobacteria and confirms that enzymes common to the de novo and salvage pathways may be good drug targets. We also propose that simultaneously targeting both the salvage and the de novo NAD+ biosynthesis pathways represents a potentially effective way to treat infection with tubercle bacilli. To characterize the lethality induced by nicotinamide starvation transcriptional profiling of the auxotrophs was performed. Triplicate 50 mL cultures of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis Delta nadABC mutants were grown in 7H9 OADC glycerol 0.05% tween broth in 500 mL roller bottles to an OD600nm= 0.1 in a roller incubator at 37°C. The cells were washed 1x in PBS and resuspended in 50 mL 7H9 OADC glycerol 0.05% tween broth with or without 20mg/L nicotinamide and returned to the incubator. After 7 days, cultures were harvested.

Project description:<p>The incidence of intestinal diseases increases with age, but the regulators of gut aging and the molecules linking gut aging and diseases remain largely unknown. By profiling the transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome and metabolome of 104 <em>Macaca fascicularis</em> large intestinal tissues, we unveiled asynchronous aging within the proximal and distal colon. The levels of many gene products, phosphosites and metabolites changed with age in a location- and sex-dependent manner, and many of these changes occurred at distinct rates or even in opposite directions at different locations. Assessment of 60 age-related molecules (genes, phosphosites, metabolites) across<em> C. elegans</em>, mice, and cell lines identified 32 crucial regulators of gut atrophy and barrier integrity. Notably, we found that tryptophan metabolism via the kynurenine and serotonin (5-HT) pathways was more active in the proximal and distal colon, respectively. In a mouse colitis model, reducing 5-HT production with a Tph1 inhibitor alleviated distal but not proximal colitis, while adding 5-HT aggravated distal symptoms, indicating that distal colitis is more sensitive to 5-HT fluctuations. Moreover, we identified 24 proteins, particularly HPX, that potentially link gut aging to colorectal cancer (CRC). High levels of HPX in CRC predicted poor prognosis in patients older than 50 yr but not in younger patients, suggesting that an age-linked HPX increase in the gut may contribute to CRC progression. Collectively, this work reveals the heterogeneity of large intestinal aging in non-human primates and offers promising targets for preventing gut aging and diseases.</p>

Project description:Aims: Atorvastatin is a commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug that possesses non-canonical anti-inflammatory properties. However, the precise mechanism underlying its anti-inflammatory effects remains unclear. Materials and methods: The acute phase of ulcerative colitis (UC) was induced using a 5 % dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution for 7 consecutive days and administrated with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg) from day 3 to day 7. mRNA-seq, histological pathology, and inflammatory response were determined. Intestinal microbiota alteration, tryptophan, and its metabolites were analyzed through 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. Key findings: Atorvastatin relieved the DSS-induced UC in mice, as evidenced by colon length, body weight, disease activity index score and pathological staining. Atorvastatin treatment reduced the level of pro_x0002_inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Atorvastatin also relieved the intestinal microbiota disorder caused by UC and decreased the proliferation of pernicious microbiota such as Akkermansia and Bacteroides. Atorvastatin dramatically altered tryptophan metabolism and increased the fecal contents of tryptophan, indolelactic acid (ILA), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Furthermore, atorvastatin enhanced the expression level of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and interleukin-22 (IL-22) and further promoted the expression level of intestinal tight junction proteins, such as ZO-1 and occludin, in colitis mice. Significance: These findings indicated that atorvastatin could alleviate UC by regulating intestinal flora disorders, promoting microbial tryptophan metabolism, and repairing the intestinal barrier.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one of the intractable diseases. Nutritional components associated with IBD have been identified, and it is known that excessive methionine intake exacerbates inflammation and that tryptophan metabolism is involved in inflammation. In this study, we examined how temporary methionine, tryptophan, and niacin deficiencies alter gene expression in the intestinal cells of a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-fed IBD mouse model. The results showed that feeding amino acid deficient diets increased the expression of serine proteases and fat metabolizing enzymes. Amino acid deficiency also activated one-carbon metabolism and the PPAR pathway. These results suggest that temporary amino acid deficiency may be useful to enhance the antioxidant activity of the host.

Project description:Background; MUC2 mucin produced by intestinal goblet cells is the major component of the intestinal mucus barrier. MUC2 homo-oligomerizes intracellularly into large secreted polymers which give mucus its viscous properties. The inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) ulcerative colitis is characterized by depleted goblet cells and a reduced mucus layer, whereas goblet cells and the mucus layer are increased in the other major inflammatory bowel disease, Crohnâs disease. Methods and Findings; By murine N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-mutagenesis we identified two distinct non-complementing missense mutations in Muc2 exons encoding N- and C-terminal homo-oligomerization domains causing an ulcerative colitis-like phenotype. Both strains developed mild spontaneous distal intestinal inflammation, chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding and prolapse, increased susceptibility to acute and chronic colitis induced by a luminal toxin, aberrant Muc2 biosynthesis, smaller goblet cell thecae (less stored mucin) and a diminished mucus barrier. Enhanced local production of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma was seen in the distal colon. The number of leukocytes within mesenteric lymph nodes was increased five-fold and leukocytes cultured in vitro produced both Th1 and Th2 cytokines (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-13). Intestinal permeability was increased and the luminal bacterial flora were more heavily coated with immunoglobulin as occurs in IBD. This pathology was accompanied by accumulation of the Muc2 precursor and ultrastructural and biochemical evidence of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in goblet cells, activation of the unfolded protein response, and altered intestinal expression of genes involved in ER stress, inflammation, apoptosis and wound repair. Expression of mutated Muc2 oligomerization domains in vitro demonstrated that aberrant Muc2 oligomerization underlies the ER stress. These models show that mutations in Muc2 oligomerization domains can lead to aberrant assembly of the Muc2 complex leading to ER stress, a depleted mucus barrier and intestinal inflammation. In ulcerative colitis we demonstrate similar accumulation of non-glycosylated MUC2 precursor in goblet cells together with ultrastructural and biochemical evidence of ER stress even in non-inflamed intestinal tissue. Conclusions; The observations that mucin misfolding and ER stress lead directly to intestinal inflammation and that ER stress and goblet cell pathology occur in ulcerative colitis suggest that ER stress-related mucin depletion could be a fundamental component of the pathogenesis of colitis. Experiment Overall Design: 3 individual mice from the Eeyore, Winnie or Wild-type strains were compared as groups. An Affymetrix ID was compared between groups if the ID was Present within two of the three mice within each grouping. IDs were compared by calculating the log2 of Group One average signal divided by Group 2 average signal.
