| Study Title | The Ability of Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids to Protect Against Liver Inflammation and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is Dependent on Gut Microbes |
| Study Summary | To test the hypothesis that the ability of dietary PUFAs to suppress NASH and cardiometabolic diseases is dependent on microbe-host co-metabolism of lipids, we fed either conventionally raised or germ-free C57BL6/N mice six sterile diets with well-defined levels of either saturated monounsaturated, ω6 PUFAs, or ω3 PUFAs and comprehensively examined the diet-microbe-host interactions as they relate to NAFLD progression. Compared to a SFA control diet (palm oil with lard), which effectively promoted obesity and NASH, both ω6 (borage oil) and ω3 PUFAs (fish oil) reduced body weight and liver weight in conventional, but not germ-free mice. Furthermore, the ability of dietary SFA, MUFA, and PUFAs to uniquely alter the hepatic lipidome was clearly altered in germ-free versus conventional mice. Of particular interest, the ability of dietary ω3 PUFAs to increase certain species of pro-resolving lipid mediators in the liver was prevented in germ-free mice. Collectively, this study provides a comprehensive lipidomic analysis defining unique dietary fatty acid-microbe-host interactions and have uncovered new insights into how meta-organismal metabolism impacts liver diseases and metabolic disorders. |

| Project Title: | The Ability of Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids to Protect Against Liver Inflammation and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is Dependent on Gut Microbes |
| Project Summary: | Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a rapidly expanding form of liver disease associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic pathologies. Several clinical trials have shown that dietary ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation, in particular eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5,ω3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6,ω3), improves health outcomes in NASH patients and lowers cardiovascular diseases. It is shown that ω3 PUFAs can suppress hepatic lipogenesis, resolve hepatic inflammation, and lower plasma triglycerides by reducing the production of hepatic very low-density lipoprotein. In parallel, there is emerging evidence that the gut microbiome can powerfully impact NASH via similar mechanisms. Although dietary PUFA supplementation can strongly impact host lipid metabolic pathways in the liver, it is often overlooked that gut microbiota can also synthesize and degrade diverse lipids. Here, we hypothesized that the ability of dietary PUFAs to suppress NASH and cardiometabolic diseases is dependent on microbe-host co-metabolism of lipids. This study provides a comprehensive lipidomic analysis defining unique dietary fatty acid-microbe-host interactions and have uncovered new insights into how meta-organismal metabolism impacts liver diseases and metabolic disorders. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004325 |
| Collection Summary: | We fed age-matched male C57BL6/N mice either without (germ-free) or with gut microbes (specific-pathogen-free, SPF), 6 diets with varying saturated versus monounsaturated versus polyunsaturated diets for a period of 18 weeks. Following experimental feeding, liver samples were collected to examine the ability of gut microbes to influence the effects of dietary fatty acids on obesity-related metabolic disturbance. |
| Sample Type: | Liver |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004341 |
| Treatment Summary: | Conventionally raised or germ-free C57BL6/N mice were fed with six sterile diets (palm, borage, fish, echium, high linoleic safflower, high oleic safflower) with well-defined levels of either saturated monounsaturated, ω6 PUFAs, or ω3 PUFAs and these were used to comprehensively examined diet-microbe-host interactions as they relate to NAFLD progression. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004338 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Sixty one liver samples were prepared for untargeted metabolomics. . In brief, tissues were initially thawed on ice. About 50mg were cut and placed into 1.5mL MPbio lysing matrix D tubes. 600 µL of chilled 70% methanol/20%water/10% chloroform containing 50 µM heavy-labeled internal standards (Table 1) were pipetted into each tube and homogenized using 6x3mm Zirconium beads 3x at high speed (4000 rpm) in 30 second intervals with rest on ice. Bead containing blank tubes with no tissue were also set up as quality check and treated similarly as samples. Both blank and tissue tubes were homogenized. Homogenates were then vortexed for 10 seconds and kept on ice for 5 minutes (x2) followed by centrifugation at 10,000xg for 15 min at 4°C. The supernatants were dried overnight in a speed vacuum and dried extracts were re-suspended in 95:5 water/acetonitrile (%v/v) and normalized based on dilution to control for different tissue weights. Each sample was then randomized and subjected to LC-MS analysis. 2 µL from each sample was taken and pooled and this pooled QC sample was analyzed every 5th injection. |
