Study TitleSpatial, temporal, and inter-subject variation of the metabolome along the human upper intestinal tract (MS HILIC negative data)
Study SummaryMost utilization of human diets occurs in the small intestine, which remains largely unstudied. Here, we used a novel non-invasive, ingestible sampling device to probe the spatiotemporal variation of upper intestinal luminal contents during routine daily digestion in 15 healthy subjects. We analyzed 274 intestinal samples and 60 corresponding stool homogenates by combining five metabolomics assays and 16S rRNA sequencing. We identified 1,909 metabolites, including sulfonolipids and novel bile acids. Stool and intestinal metabolomes differed dramatically. Food metabolites displayed known differences and trends in dietary biomarkers, unexpected increases in dicarboxylic acids along the intestinal tract, and a positive association between luminal keto acids and fruit intake. Diet-derived and microbially linked metabolites accounted for the largest inter-subject differences. Interestingly, subjects exhibited large variation in levels of bioactive fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) and sulfonolipids. Two subjects who had taken antibiotics within 6 months prior to sampling showed markedly different patterns in these and other microbially related metabolites; from this variation, we identified Blautia species as most likely to be involved in FAHFA metabolism. Thus, in vivo sampling of the human small intestine under physiologic conditions can reveal links between diet, host and microbial metabolism.

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR002508
Treatment Summary:We aimed to comprehensively study metabolomic differences among luminal samples from the upper intestinal tract of 15 healthy subjects to better understand the extent of spatial and temporal variation and to gauge the prospects of integrating metabolome and microbiome data. Volunteers swallowed sets of 4 sampling devices per sampling timepoint. These ingestible sampling devices were comprised of a collapsed collection bladder capped by a one-way valve in a capsule treated with pH-sensitive coatings. The four types of capsules differed only in their enteric coating which dissolved at pH 5.5 (capsule 1), pH 6 (capsule 2), and pH 7.5 (capsules 3 and 4) (Figure 1A). The thickness and pH-responsiveness of the coating enabled sampling at specific locations of the intestinal tract after entry into the duodenum. The devices did not contain any electronics beyond a passive radio frequency identification chip for tracking purposes. Once the coatings dissolved, an elastic collection bladder expanded and collected up to 400 µL of luminal contents through vacuum suction. The one-way valve prevented loss of sample and contamination from downstream fluids. Stool samples were frozen at -20 °C and all capsules were recovered from the stool prior to analysis. Liquid contents were retrieved from capsules using hypodermic needles. Aliquots of the raw sample were used for 16S ribosomal RNA microbiome analyses and the supernatants from centrifugated samples were used for metabolomic studies.
