Project description:Obesity is an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) although the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Dietary nutrients play a key role in both the prevention and promotion of CRC. While iron is an essential nutrient, excess iron is associated with carcinogenesis. Unlike the systemic compartment, the intestinal lumen lacks an efficient system to regulate iron. In conditions when dietary iron malabsorption and intestinal inflammation co-exist, greater luminal iron is associated with increased intestinal inflammation and a shift in the gut microbiota to more pro-inflammatory strains. However, treatments designed to reduce luminal, including diet restriction and chelation, are associated with lower intestinal inflammation and the colonization of protective gut microbes. Obesity is associated with inflammation-induced, hepcidin-mediated, iron metabolism dysfunction characterized by iron deficiency and dietary iron malabsorption. Obesity is also linked to intestinal inflammation. Currently, there is a fundamental gap in understanding how altered iron metabolism impacts CRC risk in obesity.
The investigator’s objective is to conduct a crossover controlled feeding trial of: 1) a "Typical American" diet with "high" heme/non-heme iron", 2) a "Typical American" diet with "low" iron, and 3) a Mediterranean diet with "high" non heme iron and examine effects on colonic and systemic inflammation and the gut microbiome.

Project description:Background. Animal models of elastase intratracheal instillation have shown that elastase, unopposed by α-1 antitrypsin (AAT), can induce alveolar hemorrhage with ensuing macrophage inflammation and lung damage. Aim. To identify markers of alveolar hemorrhage and damage using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples and lung tissue explants from AAT deficient (AATD) subjects. Methods. BAL samples (17 patients, 15 controls) were evaluated for free heme and iron concentrations. Alveolar macrophage (AlvMac) activation patterns were assessed by RNA sequencing and validated in vitro using heme-stimulated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Lung explants (7 patients, 4 controls) were evaluated for iron sequestration patterns, by Prussian blue stain and ferritin immunohistochemistry, and for ferritin iron imaging and elemental analysis by electron microscopy (EM). Tissue oxidative damage was assessed by 8-OHdG immunohistochemistry. Results. BAL showed significantly elevated free heme and iron concentrations at lobar level. BAL macrophage RNA sequencing showed innate proinflammatory activation, consistent with free heme activation. AATD tissue alveolar and interstitial macrophages showed elevated iron and ferritin accumulation in large lysosomes packed with iron oxide cores with degraded ferritin protein cages. AATD explants showed massive oxidative DNA damage in lung epithelial cells and macrophages. Conclusions. Identification of BAL and tissue markers of alveolar hemorrhage, together with the molecular and cellular evidence of macrophage innate pro-inflammatory activation and oxidative damage, consistent with free heme stimulation, provides ex vivo evidence for the pathogenetic role of elastase-induced alveolar hemorrhage AATD emphysema as shown in animal studies.

Project description:Because iron is essential for a healthy pregnancy, iron supplementation during pregnancy is nearly universally recommended, regardless of maternal iron status. A signal of potential harm is the U-shaped association between maternal ferritin, a marker of iron stores, and risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, ferritin is also induced by inflammation and so may overestimate iron stores during inflammation or infection. We used mouse models to determine whether maternal iron loading, inflammation, or their interaction caused poor pregnancy outcomes. Only maternal exposure to both iron excess and inflammation, but not either condition alone, caused embryo malformations and demise. Maternal iron excess potentiated embryo injury during both LPS-induced acute inflammation and obesity-induced chronic mild inflammation. The adverse interaction was dependent on TNFα signaling, caused apoptosis of the placental and embryo endothelium, and was prevented by anti-TNFα or antioxidant treatment in vivo. Our findings raise important questions about the safety of indiscriminate iron supplementation during pregnancy.

Project description:RNAseq of coding RNA in Staphylococcus aureus wildtype and ppGpp0 mutant shows transcription of the Fe-storage ferritin (ftnA) and miniferritin (dps) was elevated in the ppGpp0 mutant, while Fur-regulated iron transporters for uptake of heme or siderophores were repressed, including the isdABCDEFG, sirABC and sstADBCD-operons. Together these results indicate that (p)ppGpp confers tolerance to ROS and antibiotics during the stationary phase by down-regulation of internal iron levels to prevent ROS formation.

Project description:Plant pathogens are challenged by host-derived iron starvation or excess during infection, but the mechanism through which pathogens counteract iron stress is unclear. Here, we found that Fusarium graminearum encounters iron excess during the colonization of wheat heads. Deletion of heme activator protein X (FgHapX), siderophore transcription factor A (FgSreA) or both attenuated virulence. Further, we found that FgHapX activates iron storage under iron excess by promoting histone H2B deubiquitination (H2B deub1) at the promoter of the responsible gene. Meanwhile, FgSreA is shown to inhibit genes mediating iron acquisition during iron excess by facilitating the deposition of histone variant H2A.Z and histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27 me3) at the first nucleosome after the transcription start site. In addition, the monothiol glutaredoxin FgGrx4 is responsible for iron sensing and control of the transcriptional activity of FgHapX and FgSreA via modulation of their enrichment at target genes and recruitment of epigenetic regulators, respectively. Taken together, our findings elucidated the molecular mechanisms for adaptation to iron excess mediated by FgHapX and FgSreA during infection in F. graminearum and provide novel insights into regulation of iron homeostasis at the chromatin level in eukaryotes.

Project description:BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) represses the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of iron, heme and reactive oxygen species and promotes metastasis of various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Knockdown of Tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1) led to reductions of BACH1 mRNA and protein amounts in AsPC-1 human PDAC cells. Gene expression analysis of PDAC cells with knockdown of TBK1 or BACH1 suggested the involvement of TBK1 and BACH1 in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Ferritin was increased upon BACH1 knockdown in AsPC-1 cells. Cytometry analysis showed that AsPC-1 cells with BACH1 knockout or knockdown contained lower labile iron than control cells, suggesting that BACH1 increased labile iron by repressing the expression of ferritin genes.

Project description:Bile acids play multiple roles in vertebrate metabolism by facilitating lipid absorption in the intestine and acting as a signaling molecule in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Bile acids are also the main route to excrete excess cholesterol out of the body. Alpha-methyl-Coa racemase (Amacr) is one of the enzymes needed to produce bile acids from cholesterol. The mouse model lacking Amacr can produce only minor (less than 10%) amounts of bile acids, but still they are symptomless in normal laboratory conditions. Cholesterol absorption occurs in the jejunum part of the intestine. In this experiment, the intestines from Amacr-/- and wild-type mice were divided into four equal segments and the endothelial layer was collected by scraping. The RNA from these samples was isolated and the gene expression levels in each segment were compared. 3 biological replicates per genotype/segment combination.

Project description:Background: Haemophilus influenzae has an absolute aerobic growth requirement for heme and has developed multiple complex mechanisms to obtain this essential nutrient. Although an understanding of the heme acquisition mechanisms of H. influenzae is emerging, significant gaps remain to be elucidated. In a previous study we utilized H. influenzae strain Rd KW20 to demonstrate the utility of transcriptional profiling in defining the genes exhibiting altered transcription in response to environmental iron and heme levels. The current study expands upon those initial observations by determining the iron/heme regulons of two additional H. influenzae clinical isolates, i.e. the type b isolate 10810 and the nontypeable isolate R2866, to characterize the core iron/heme regulon of the species. Results: A microarray chip was designed to incorporate probes for all of the genes of H. influenzae isolates 10810 and R2866, and microarray studies were performed to compare gene expression under iron/heme-replete and iron/heme-restricted conditions for each isolate. Of 1820 ORFs on the array corresponding to R2866 genes, 363 were significantly differentially expressed. Of these 363 genes, 233 were maximally transcribed under iron/heme-replete conditions and 130 were preferentially transcribed in iron/heme-restricted conditions. Of the 1883 ORFs representing genes of strain10810, 351 were significantly differentially transcribed, 150 of these were preferentially transcribed in iron/heme-replete conditions and 201 were preferentially transcribed in iron/heme-restricted conditions. Comparison of the data sets indicated that 163 genes were similarly regulated in both isolates and that 74 of these also exhibited similar patterns of regulation in strain Rd KW20. Conclusion: This study provides evidence for a core of H. influenzae genes that are regulated by the availability of iron and/or heme in the growth environment. Elucidation of this core regulon provides targets for investigation of genes with an unrecognized role in iron and heme homeostasis, as well as other potential virulence determinants. In addition, the set of core genes potentially provides targets for therapeutic and vaccine designs since these products of these genes are likely to be preferentially expressed during growth in iron/heme restricted sites of the human body.

Keywords: Transcription analyses Three replicate cultures were grown in iron and heme depleted media for 90 minutes and samples taken for expression analyses. Fe and heme were supplemented to the remaining cultures and the cultures allowed to incubate an additional 20 minutes. Microarray analyses were used to determine changes in gene expression resulting from transfer from FeHm-deplete to FeHm-replete conditions.
