Project description:The worldwide increase in snack-food consumption associated with adoption of Westernized lifestyles provides an opportunity to introduce new nutritious foods into non-nutritious diets. We describe two 10-week-long pilot studies of obese or overweight individuals measured the effects of pea fiber- or orange fiber-containing snack food prototypes on the abundances of fecal microbiome glycoside hydrolases (GH) and polysaccharide lyases (PL), fecal glycan metabolism, and >1300 plasma proteins. Computational methods for feature selection plus contextual language processing software that extracts information from all PubMed abstracts referencing features of interest, identified treatment-discriminatory changes in GH and PL gene abundances that correlated with levels of fecal glycosidic linkages related to fiber metabolism, and plasma proteins representing diverse biological themes, including TGFβ/BMP-mediated fibrotic responses, VEGF-related angiogenic responses, P38/MAPK-associated immune cell biomarkers, and obesity-associated hormonal regulators. These results disclose fiber-snack prototype effects on microbiome function and host physiology in the context of varying background dietary practices.

Project description:The investigators hypothesize that an increase in dietary fiber intake during radiation therapy may provide better long-term intestinal health for the cancer survivor. If the hypothesis is not correct, the increased intake may only mean an increase in acute side effects. All participants are advised to consume at least 16 g of dietary fiber/day via food. In addition, participants are invited to take capsules that together contain either 5.5 g of dietary fiber from psyllium husk or placebo.

Project description:A diet rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols supports the normal intestinal barrier function crucial for intestinal and overall health. Birch wood-derived fiber containing glucuronoxylans (GX)- and polyphenols have the potential in multiple food technological applications and have favorable effects on gut microbiota and colonic metabolism. However, their impact on intestinal barrier function is unknown. To elucidate their potential as new intestinal health-supporting food ingredients, we investigated the effect of GX- and polyphenol-rich extract (GXpoly ) and highly purified GX-rich extract (pureGX) on the gene expression of the colon mucosa.

Project description:Despite accepted health benefits of dietary fiber, little is known about the mechanisms by which fiber deprivation impacts the gut microbiota and alters disease risk. Using a gnotobiotic model, in which mice were colonized with a synthetic human gut microbiota, we elucidated the functional interactions between dietary fiber, the gut microbiota and the colonic mucus barrier, which serves as a primary defence against pathogens. We show that during chronic or intermittent dietary fiber deficiency, the gut microbiota resorts to host-secreted mucus glycoproteins as a nutrient source, leading to erosion of the colonic mucus barrier. Dietary fiber deprivation promoted greater epithelial access and lethal colitis by the mucosal pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium, but only in the presence of a fiber-deprived microbiota that is pushed to degrade the mucus layer. Our work reveals intricate pathways linking diet, gut microbiome and intestinal barrier dysfunction, which could be exploited to improve health using dietary therapeutics. Germ-free mice (Swiss Webster) were colonized with synthetic human gut microbiota comprising of 14 species belonging to five different phyla (names of bacterial species: Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides uniformis, Barnesiella intestinihominis, Eubacterium rectale, Marvinbryantia formatexigens, Collinsella aerofaciens, Escherichia coli HS, Clostridium symbiosum, Desulfovibrio piger, Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Roseburia intestinalis). These mice were fed either a fiber-rich diet or a fiber-free diet for about 6 weeks. The mice were then sacrificed and their cecal tissues were immediately flash frozen for RNA extraction. The extracted RNA was subjected to microarray analysis based on Mouse Gene ST 2.1 strips using the Affy Plus kit. Expression values for each gene were calculated using robust multi-array average (RMA) method.

Project description:The diets of industrialized countries reflect the increasing use of processed foods, often with the inclusion of novel food additives. Xanthan gum is a complex polysaccharide with unique rheological properties that have established its use as a widespread stabilizer and thickening agent. Xanthan gum’s chemical structure is distinct from the host and dietary polysaccharides that are more commonly expected to transit the gastrointestinal tract, and little is known about its direct interaction with the gut microbiota, which plays a central role in digestion of other dietary fiber polysaccharides. Here, we show that the ability to digest xanthan gum is surprisingly common in industrialized human gut microbiomes and appears contingent on a single uncultured bacterium in the family Ruminococcaceae. Our data reveal that this primary degrader cleaves the xanthan gum backbone before processing the released oligosaccharides using additional enzymes. Surprisingly, some individuals harbor a Bacteroides intestinalis that is incapable of consuming polymeric xanthan gum but grows on oligosaccharide products generated by the Ruminococcaceae. Feeding xanthan gum to germfree mice colonized with a human microbiota containing the uncultured Ruminococcaceae supports the idea that this additive can drive expansion of this primary degrader along with exogenously introduced Bacteroides intestinalis. Our work demonstrates the existence of a potential xanthan gum food chain involving at least two members of different phyla of gut bacteria and provides an initial framework to understand how widespread consumption of a recently introduced food additive influences human microbiomes.

Project description:We sought to examine whether directly dietary fiber application to offspring could also reverse the behavioral and neurobiological deficits characteristic of MHFD offspring. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) on mice hippocampus were performed in order to identify the key biological processes and pathways regulated by dietary fiber.

Project description:The typical human diet differs substantially in a number of ways from that of other primates. For instance, although many humans consume meat on a regular basis, non-human primate diets are typically dominated by plant foods. In addition, most human populations cook the majority of their foods, whereas all other free-living primate species eat exclusively raw diets. Such differences in food substrates and food processing are hypothesized to exert a large influence on metabolism. If maintained over evolutionary timescales, dietary differences may have contributed to shaping important human-specific features. To index the effect of food substrate and food preparation on metabolism we measured liver gene expression in mice fed diets of meat or tubers served either raw or cooked.
