Rudolph Leibel, MD

Columbia University

I am interested in the molecular physiology and genetics of body weight regulation and diabetes in humans and rodents. My associates and I have cloned and characterized a number of genes in the pathways regulating body weight and modifying diabetes susceptibility. We participated in the molecular cloning and characterization of the leptin and leptin receptor genes, and have continued to pursue the molecular physiology of the “leptin axis” in body weight regulation recently focusing on the molecular physiology of the FTO locus in mice and humans.  We identified the macrophage as the major source of cytokines in adipose tissue.  During the past 5 years I have worked with associates at Columbia to develop techniques for creating iPS cells from skin biopsies of patients segregating for monogenic forms of diabetes and obesity.  We have succeeded in making such cells from MODY, Wolfram, T1D, Bardet-Biedl and Prader-Willi patients, and in showing that beta cells and neurons derived from these iPSCs cells recapitulate the anticipated seminal phenotypes of the patients from whom they were derived.   I am Co-Director of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center, the NY Obesity Research Center and the Columbia Diabetes Research Center have served on the NIDDK Council, and continue to serve on the NIH CORP committee.  I am a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.

Abstracts

Molecular Physiology of the Control of Body Weight
Rudolph Leibel, MD, Columbia University

In evolutionary terms, body fat is critical to reproductive integrity and survival in circumstances of restricted and intermittent access to food.  Powerful regulatory systems, integrated in the hypothalamus, control energy intake and expenditure in response to perturbations of body fat, with homeostatic responses being more powerful in response to weight (fat) loss than gain.  The physical and molecular substrates for these processes include specific cell bodies and neuropeptides, as well as peripheral signals “reporting” acute and chronic changes in the status of energy stores.  These are the basis for what is often referred to as body weight “set point”, a misonomer in that regulatory forces are, as noted, asymmetrical in favor of defense of body fat.  Understanding the details of these processes is critical to the devising of more effect preventive and therapeutic interventions for obesity.
 

Systems Genetic Approaches to Gene/Diet Interactions
Brian J. Bennett, PhD
Department of Genetics, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
Nutrition Research Institute, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill

Science has been revolutionized by the advent of high-throughput technologies of the –omic scale.  Nutrigenomics aims to identify genetic and dietary interactions that affect gene expression.  A goal of nutrigenomics is to identify novel gene x diet interactions that increase susceptibility to disease.  Nutrigenomics approaches can incorporate multiple scales of data, such as mRNA, measures of microbial diversity and metabolite levels, to identify these novel interactions. Our current research is aimed at developing a nutrigenomic platform.  To accomplish this, we employ a systems-genetic approach to elucidate the genetic and dietary factors affecting cardiovascular susceptibility.  We have initiated a set of studies across genetically diverse mouse strains to understand basal and diet-induced changes in choline metabolism, focused on trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and betaine metabolism. Initial results thus far demonstrate that choline metabolites vary by genetic background, are affected by diet and that dietary challenges elicit a genetic x diet interaction that may involve the microbiome. We have extended these studies using the Diversity Outbred (DO) mouse panel recently developed by the Jackson Laboratory to identify a novel locus regulating TMAO levels in mice.  Overall, these studies offer a proof a principle for an approach to nutrigenomic studies.
 

Investigation of gut microbiota niches and their relevance to metabolic health
Anne L. McCartney, University of Westminster, London, UK

The gut microbiota is an important component of human systems biology and intrinsically associated with host health. Recent research has demonstrated that focusing solely on the faecal/colonic bacterial population is short-sighted, particularly in relation to metabolic health. An extensive study investigating the caecal microbiota (including bacterial and bacteriophage populations) highlighted differences between the caecal bacteria of patients presenting ‘normal’ colonoscopies compared to IBD patients. Furthermore, the caecal microbiota was found to be different within the ‘normal’ patient group: that is, ‘normal’ with no complications compared to ‘normal’ with complications. Diverse and distinctive bacteriophage populations were observed in caecum samples, with numerous Myoviridae, Podoviridae and Siphoviridae present, and a bacterium–bacteriophage combination (Klebseilla pneuomoniae subsp. pnuemoniaeSiphoviridae) was recovered. This work also generated a unique collection of facultatively anaerobic caecal isolates which, together with our in-house collection of faecal isolates, has been utilized for in vitro studies examining microbial utilization of dietary methylamines, including trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). TMAO was rapidly reduced to trimethylamine by members of the human gut microbiota in pure-culture and mixed-batch-culture experiments, supporting the hypothesis of ‘metabolic retroversion’ of dietary TMAO. Statistically significant different metabolic profiles were seen for caecal and faecal Enterobacteriaceae isolates in the presence of TMAO, with caecal isolates producing higher TMA and acetate levels, and lower lactate levels than faecal isolates. Taken together these initial data indicate the importance of microbial activity in the upper gastrointestinal tract and, thus, the need to study microbial activity in the small intestine/caecum/proximal colon.

Systems Epidemiology Approach To Understanding Nutrition And Obesity and Diabetes
Frank Hu, MD, PhD, Dept. of Nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Traditional epidemiology has made important contributions to the identification of key nutritional and lifestyle risk factors for chronic disease. Technical advances that now allow high-throughput measurements of genomic, transcriptomic, pro- teomic, and metabolomic traits in combination with more sophisticated bioinformatics provide epidemiologists an unprecedented opportunity to unlock the full potential of their approach. “Systems Epidemiology” can enhance biological understanding of metabolic pathways and identify novel biomarkers and intervention targets (Cornelis and Hu, Curr Nutr Rep. 2013 Dec;2)  System-level tools applied to obesity and type 2 diabetes have revealed new pathways that are potentially modified by diet and thus offer additional opportunities for nutritional investigations. Moving forward, harnessing the resources of existing large, prospective studies within which biological samples have been archived and diet and lifestyle have been measured will enable systems-level data to be integrated, the outcome of which will be improved personalized optimal nutrition for prevention and treatment of disease.
 

Nutrition and the Science of Disease Prevention: Systems Science for Complex Problems
Patricia L. Mabry, PhD, National Institutes of Health, Office of Disease Prevention

Traditional methods have contributed greatly to our understanding of nutritional factors and their contribution to various diseases. However the field of nutrition science is complex; a large number of factors interact to produce an outcome of interest. For example, the following are among the important factors contributing to the potency of a nutrient: the genetic makeup of the host; the quality, quantity of the food or nutrient; the bioavailability of the nutrient which may be affected by conditions associated with growing, harvesting, storing and preparing food for consumption; whether a given food is consumed in combination with other foods; and the composition of the host microbiome at the time food is consumed. The ability of traditional methods to examine reciprocal relationships such as between dietary intake, sedentary behavior and manifestation of disease, is limited. The objective of this presentation is to introduce the audience to cutting-edge systems science methods that can help advance nutrition research by offering complementary approaches to traditional methods. This presentation will begin with an explanation of what systems science methods are and a rationale for how systems science methods can benefit nutrition research. Examples of agent-based modeling in obesity research and system dynamics modeling to inform food policy decisions will be shown. Finally, a summary of systems science related activities at the National Institutes of Health, and funding opportunities for this kind of research will be provided.
 

The Calculus of Calories: Mathematical Modeling of Human Energy Metabolism and Body Weight Dynamics
Kevin D. Hall, PhD, National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland

Setting realistic goals for people with obesity is an important part of any weight loss program and policymakers need to make decisions about whether a proposed intervention will cost-effectively contribute to reversing the obesity epidemic. Quantifying the likely impact of an intervention is facilitated by translating between changes in the calories eaten or expended per day and body weight. Unfortunately, the usual methods for making this translation were recently revealed to be highly inaccurate and have led to misleading conclusions about the energy gap underlying the obesity epidemic as well as incorrect predictions about the intervention magnitude required to prevent and reverse obesity. Mathematical models of human metabolism and body weight change have now been developed that correct the deficiencies of the previously standard calculations. These new models provide accurate predictions of body weight dynamics resulting from interventions in both individuals and populations. In this presentation, I will describe some insights obtained from these models such as how obesity prevalence would likely be affected by policy changes such as a soda tax. I will also describe how mathematical models can be used interpret the relationship between the changing food environment, food waste, and the genesis of the obesity epidemic.
 

Using Behavioral Science to Inform the Design of Food Policies
Christina A. Roberto, PhD, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

Poor diet and obesity are worldwide public health problems. There is growing consensus that public health policies have an important role to play in improving the world’s diet. However, we currently lack a strong scientific evidence base for many policy proposals. In this talk, I will discuss ways in which the behavioral sciences can inform the design of effective food policies.
