J Nutr Biochem 2024; 127:109601. [PMID: 38367948 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2024.109601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Phenolic acids, such as hippuric acid (HA) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (3-3-PPA), can be produced from microbiome digestion of polyphenols. Previously it was found that HA and 3-3-PPA facilitate bone formation and suppress bone resorption. However, the mechanism of action by which HA and 3-3-PPA protect bone from degeneration is currently unknown. In this report, we present that HA and 3-3-PPA suppression of bone resorption is able to ameliorate bone loss in an ovariectomy (OVX) osteopenic mouse model though not to the extent of Zoledronic acid (ZA). HA and 3-3-PPA treatments were shown to significantly decrease bone marrow adipocyte-like cell formation and inhibited gene expression of key adipogenesis regulator peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and lipoprotein lipase (Lpl) in bone from OVX mice. In addition, ChIP experiments showed that the association between PPARγ and Lpl promoter region in preadipocyte-like cells was significantly suppressed following HA or 3-3-PPA treatment. Contrasting HA and 3-3-PPA, ZA significantly increased TRAP activity in the area close to growth plate and significantly suppressed bone cell proliferation. These data suggest that phenolics acids such as HA or 3-3-PPA may prevent bone degeneration after OVX through suppression of inflammatory milieu in the bone.

Moderate consumption of freeze-dried blueberry powder increased net bone calcium retention compared with no treatment in healthy postmenopausal women: a randomized crossover trial. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 118:382-390. [PMID: 37269909 PMCID: PMC10447493 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.05.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preclinical studies suggest that blueberry consumption is associated with improved bone health. OBJECTIVES We conducted a blueberry dose-response study in ovariectomized (OVX)-rats that informed a study in postmenopausal women using the urinary appearance of calcium (Ca) tracers from prelabeled bone to reflect changes in bone balance. We hypothesized that blueberry consumption would reduce bone loss in a dose-dependent manner compared with no treatment. METHODS OVX rats were fed 4 doses of blueberry powder (2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) in randomized order to determine bone 45Ca retention. Fourteen healthy, nonosteoporotic women ≥4 y past menopause were dosed with 50 nCi of 41Ca, a long-lived radioisotope, and equilibrated for 5 mo to allow 41Ca deposition in bone. Following a 6-wk baseline period, participants were assigned to a random sequence of 3 6-wk interventions, a low (17.5 g/d), medium (35 g/d), or high (70 g/d) dose of freeze-dried blueberry powder equivalent to 0.75, 1.5, or 3 cups of fresh blueberries incorporated into food and beverage products. Urinary 41Ca:Ca ratio was measured by accelerator mass spectrometry. Serum bone resorption biomarkers and urinary polyphenols were measured at the end of each control and intervention period. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed model and repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS In both OVX rats and postmenopausal women, blueberry interventions benefited net bone calcium balance at lower but not at higher doses. In women, net bone calcium retention increased by 6% with the low (95% CI: 2.50, 8.60; P < 0.01) and 4% with the medium (95% CI: 0.96, 7.90; P < 0.05) dose compared with no treatment. Urinary excretion of hippuric acid increased dose-dependently with blueberry consumption. No significant relationships were found between bone resorption biomarkers, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and interventions. CONCLUSIONS Moderate consumption (<1 cup/d) of blueberries may be an effective strategy to attenuate bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02630797.

Abstract
Phytochemicals are natural compounds found in food ingredients with a variety of health-promoting properties. Phytochemicals improve host health through their direct systematic absorption into the circulation and modulation of the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota increases the bioactivity of phytochemicals and is a symbiotic partner whose composition and/or diversity is altered by phytochemicals and affects host health. In this review, the interactions of phytochemicals with the gut microbiota and their impact on human diseases are reviewed. We describe the role of intestinal microbial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, amino acid derivatives, and vitamins, from a therapeutic perspective. Next, phytochemical metabolites produced by the gut microbiota and the therapeutic effect of some selected metabolites are reviewed. Many phytochemicals are degraded by enzymes unique to the gut microbiota and act as signaling molecules in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and metabolic pathways. Phytochemicals can ameliorate diseases by altering the composition and/or diversity of the gut microbiota, and they increase the abundance of some gut microbiota that produce beneficial substances. We also discuss the importance of investigating the interactions between phytochemicals and gut microbiota in controlled human studies.

Exploring GPR109A Receptor Interaction with Hippuric Acid Using MD Simulations and CD Spectroscopy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314778. [PMID: 36499106 PMCID: PMC9741133 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous research has indicated that various metabolites belonging to phenolic acids (PAs), produced by gut microflora through the breakdown of polyphenols, help in promoting bone development and protecting bone from degeneration. Results have also suggested that G-protein-coupled receptor 109A (GPR109A) functions as a receptor for those specific PAs such as hippuric acid (HA) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (3-3-PPA). Indeed, HA has a molecular structural similarity with nicotinic acid (niacin) which has been shown previously to bind to GPR109A receptor and to mediate antilipolytic effects; however, the binding pocket and the structural nature of the interaction remain to be recognized. In the present study, we employed a computational strategy to elucidate the molecular structural determinants of HA binding to GPR109A and GPR109B homology models in understanding the regulation of osteoclastogenesis. Based on the docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies, HA binds to GPR109A similarly to niacin. Specifically, the transmembrane helices 3, 4 and 6 (TMH3, TMH4 and TMH6) and Extracellular loop 1 and 2 (ECL1 and ECL2) residues of GRP109A; R111 (TMH3), K166 (TMH4), ECL2 residues; S178 and S179, and R251 (TMH6), and residues of GPR109B; Y87, Y86, S91 (ECL1) and C177 (ECL2) contribute for HA binding. Simulations and Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann solvent accessible area (MM-PBSA) calculations reveal that HA has higher affinity for GPR109A than for GPR109B. Additionally, in silico mutation analysis of key residues have disrupted the binding and HA exited out from the GPR109A protein. Furthermore, measurements of time-resolved circular dichroism spectra revealed that there are no major conformational changes in the protein secondary structure on HA binding. Taken together, our findings suggest a mechanism of interaction of HA with both GPR109A and GPR109B receptors.

Abstract
The essential role of gut microbiota in health and disease is well recognized, but the biochemical details that underlie the beneficial impact remain largely undefined. To maintain its stability, microbiota participates in an interactive host-microbiota metabolic signaling, impacting metabolic phenotypes of the host. Dysbiosis of microbiota results in alteration of certain microbial and host metabolites. Identifying these markers could enhance early detection of certain diseases. We report LC-MS based non-targeted metabolic profiling that demonstrates a large effect of gut microbiota on mammalian tissue metabolites. It was hypothesized that gut microbiota influences the overall biochemistry of host metabolome and this effect is tissue-specific. Thirteen different tissues from germ-free (GF) and conventionally-raised (MPF) C57BL/6NTac mice were selected and their metabolic differences were analyzed. Our study demonstrated a large effect of microbiota on mammalian biochemistry at different tissues and resulted in statistically-significant modulation of metabolites from multiple metabolic pathways (p ≤ 0.05). Hundreds of molecular features were detected exclusively in one mouse group, with the majority of these being unique to specific tissue. A vast metabolic response of host to metabolites generated by the microbiota was observed, suggesting gut microbiota has a direct impact on host metabolism.

Abstract
Sex steroid deficiency plays critical roles in the pathophysiology of bone as the result of uncertain bone remodeling, i.e., increased bone resorption with equivocal bone formation. We have previously shown that GPR109A, a G protein coupled receptor, controls osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, where global GPR109A deletion decreased osteoclast bone resorption and increased bone mass. Here, we used global GPR109A gene deletion, ovariectomized (OVX) and orchidectomized (ORX) mouse models to probe the role of GPR109A in gonadectomy-induced bone loss in female and male mice. Six months old GPR109A-/- mice and their wild type littermates were allocated to Sham or gonadectomized groups for six weeks. Using densitometric micro-CT confirmed by peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT) scans on tibia and spine, and three-point bending test on femur ex vivo, we found the bone volume, trabecular number, as well as bone mineral density and content in both trabecular and cortical sites were significantly decreased in wild type OVX and ORX compared with respective Sham groups. While bone mass in both male and female GPR109A-/- Sham groups were significantly higher compared with their respective wild type Sham groups, global GPR109A gene deletion ameliorated gonadectomy-induced bone loss. In GPR109A-/- females, most of bone mass and strength parameters measured by micro-CT, pQCT and three-point bending test were not different between Sham and OVX groups. In wild type but not in GPR109-/- mice, bone remodeling marker measurements indicated that both bone resorption (Cathepsin K) and bone formation (osteocalcin) markers were increased in gonadectomized mice compared to sham, with the exception of bone specific ALP, which was decreased in gonadectomized mice. Expression of bone resorption markers (Cathepsin K) were significantly lower, but β-catenin expression was higher in GPR109A-/- mice compared with their wild type littermates. Collectively, these data indicate that global GPR109A deletion ameliorates gonadectomy-induced bone loss through suppression of bone resorption.

Abstract
Oncologists need effective tools to predict and improve their treatment outcome. We assessed the performance of a metabolomics approach to predict the response and toxicity to pemetrexed plus platinum-based chemotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma. We established effective and convenient models that can predict the efficacy and toxicity of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma patients before treatment delivery.
Background Pemetrexed plus platinum doublet chemotherapy regimen remains to be the standard first-line treatment for lung adenocarcinoma patients. However, few biomarkers can be used to identify potential beneficiaries with maximal efficacy and minimal toxicity. This study aimed to explore potential biomarker models predictive of efficacy and toxicity after pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy based on metabolomics profiling. Methods A total of 144 patients who received at least two cycles of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy were enroled in the study. Serum samples were collected before initial treatment to perform metabolomics profiling analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to establish prediction models. Results 157 metabolites were found to be differentially expressed between the response group and the nonresponse group. A panel of Phosphatidylserine 20:4/20:1, Sphingomyelin d18:1/18:0, and Phosphatidic Acid 18:1/20:0 could predict pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy response with an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.7968. 76 metabolites were associated with hematological toxicity of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy. A panel incorporating triglyceride 14:0/22:3/22:5, 3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl) Propionate Acid, and Carnitine C18:0 was the best predictive ability of hematological toxicity with an AUROC of 0.7954. 54 differential expressed metabolites were found to be associated with hepatotoxicity of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy. A model incorporating stearidonic acid, Thromboxane B3, l-Homocitrulline, and phosphoinositide 20:3/18:0 showed the best predictive ability of hepatotoxicity with an AUROC of 0.8186. Conclusions This study established effective and convenient models that can predict the efficacy and toxicity of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma patients before treatment delivery.

Abstract
The use of non-pharmacological alternatives to pharmacological interventions, e.g., nutritional therapy, to improve or maintain bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women has gained traction over the past decade, but limited data exist regarding its efficacy. The purpose of this case report was to compare changes in BMD of an osteopenic postmenopausal woman over the course of 28 months, including an abrupt change in diet. For the first 12 months, a participant assigned to the control arm of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) only took calcium and vitamin D3 supplements, but in the following 16 months after completing the RCT, she introduced and maintained daily consumption of 50 g of dried plums in addition to calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. This case report provides a unique opportunity to follow the trajectory of distinct changes in bone in response to one dietary modification.

Abstract
The metabolism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) through the intestinal tract was studied. As cadmium is a well-known toxic heavy metal, this study was carried out to investigate the comparative protective effect of CGA and its representative intestinal metabolite (3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid, HPPA) against Cd-induced erythrocyte cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. We found that CGA and its intestinal metabolite appreciably prevented erythrocyte hemolysis, osmotic fragility, and oxidative stress induced by Cd. Also, we found that HPPA had a stronger protective ability than CGA against Cd-induced erythrocyte injury in vivo, such as increasing the ratio of protein kinase C from 7.7% (CGA) to 12.0% (HPPA). Therefore, we hypothesized that CGA and its microbial metabolite had protective effects against Cd-induced erythrocyte damage via multiple actions including antioxidation and chelation. For humans, CGA supplementation may be favorable for avoiding Cd-induced biotoxicity.

Abstract
The G protein-coupled receptor 109 A (GPR109A) is robustly expressed in osteoclastic precursor macrophages. Previous studies suggested that GPR109A mediates effects of diet-derived phenolic acids such as hippuric acid (HA) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (3-3-PPA) on promoting bone formation. However, the role of GPR109A in metabolic bone homeostasis and osteoclast differentiation has not been investigated. Using densitometric, bone histologic and molecular signaling analytic methods, we uncovered that bone mass and strength were significantly higher in tibia and spine of standard rodent diet weaned 4-week-old and 6-month-old GPR109A gene deletion (GPR109A-/-) mice, compared to their wild type controls. Osteoclast numbers in bone and in ex vivo bone marrow cell cultures were significantly decreased in GPR109A-/- mice compared to wild type controls. In accordance with these data, CTX-1 in bone marrow plasma and gene expression of bone resorption markers (TNFα, TRAP, Cathepsin K) were significantly decreased in GPR109A-/- mice, while on the other hand, P1NP was increased in serum from both male and female GPR109A-/- mice compared to their respective controls. GPR109A deletion led to suppressed Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteoclast precursors to inhibit osteoclast differentiation and activity. Indeed, HA and 3-3-PPA substantially inhibited RANKL-induced GPR109A expression and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteoclast precursors and osteoclast differentiation. Resultantly, HA significantly inhibited bone resorption and increased bone mass in wild type mice, but had no additional effects on bone in GPR109A-/- mice compared with their respective untreated control mice. These results suggest an important role for GPR109A during osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption mediating effects of HA and 3-3-PPA on inhibiting bone resorption during skeletal development.

[PMID: 32803108 PMCID: PMC7422714 DOI: 10.1002/jbm4.10376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Estrogen deficiency and aging play critical roles in the pathophysiology of bone as a result of increased oxidative stress. It has been suggested that prevention of NADPH oxidase- (Nox-) dependent accumulation of ROS may be an approach to potentially minimize bone loss caused by these conditions. Using ovariectomized (OVX) and Nox4 gene-deletion mouse models, we investigated the role of Nox4 in OVX-induced bone loss and osteoblast senescence signaling. Six-month-old WT C57Bl6 mice were allocated to a sham control group, OVX, and OVX plus E2 treatment group for 8 weeks. Decreased bone mass including BMD and BMC were found in the OVX group compared with the sham control (p < 0.05); E2 treatment completely reversed OVX-induced bone loss. Interestingly, the prevention of OVX-induced bone loss by E2 was associated with the elimination of increased senescence signaling in bone osteoblastic cells from the OVX group. E2 blunted OVX-induced p53 and p21 overexpression, but not p16 and Nox4 in bone. In addition, 8- and 11-month-old Nox4 KO female mice were OVX for 8 weeks. Significant bone loss and increased bone osteoblastic cell senescence signaling occurred not only in Nox4 KO OVX mice compared with sham-operated animals, but also in 11-month-old Nox4 KO sham mice compared with 8-month-old Nox4 KO sham mice (p < 0.05). These data suggest that Nox4-mediated ROS in bone osteoblastic cells may be dispensable for sex steroid deficiency-induced bone loss and senescence. © 2020 The Authors.

Foods 2020; 9:foods9040466. [PMID: 32283703 PMCID: PMC7231037 DOI: 10.3390/foods9040466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Revised: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Wild blueberry (WBB) powder can be added to the formulation of foods to encourage consumption of health-promoting polyphenolics, but the stability of polyphenolics throughout storage is important. We determined the stability of polyphenolics in five products (ice pop, oatmeal bar, graham cracker cookie, juice, and gummy product) prepared with WBB powder. Samples stored at 21 °C, 4.4 °C, or −20 °C (ice pops only) were analyzed at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks for polyphenolic content and percent polymeric color. Total anthocyanins decreased over storage and storage temperatures in all products. However, the ice pop and the refrigerated juice both retained over 90% of their initial total anthocyanin content. The refrigerated oatmeal bar also showed good retention of anthocyanins (86%), but the gummy product retained only 43% and 51% when stored at 4.4 °C or 21 °C, respectively. The lower amount of polyphenolic compounds recovered in the gummies stored at 4.4 °C compared to 21 °C may be attributed to reduced extraction efficiency as a result of gel hardening at refrigerated temperature. Chlorogenic acid and flavonols were generally more stable than anthocyanins throughout storage.
