Microbial Influences in Cardio–Metabolic Diseases
Thursday, November 3, 2016
The New York Academy of Sciences
The microbiota in the human colon form one of the densest natural bacterial ecosystems known. These microbial communities are integrally involved in maintaining human health. Accumulating evidence implicates the microbiome in metabolic disease: microbiota play a key role in regulating host physiological and metabolic processes, via the production of metabolites from ingested macronutrients. In parallel, the composition of the microbial population have been shown to be significantly influenced by diet, and these changes are likely to be causally related to metabolic disease including Type II diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
This symposium focuses on the microbiota and their relationship with metabolic dysfunction. It will highlight emerging science that is furthering our understanding of causal relationships between our microbiota and disease, as well as applications for human health. This is the third in a series of symposia addressing the impact of microbiota on the whole human.

Rachel Carmody, PhD
Harvard University
Rachel Carmody is an Assistant Professor in Human Evolutionary Biology and Co-Director of the Nutritional & Microbial Ecology Laboratory at Harvard University. She received her PhD in Human Evolutionary Biology from Harvard in 2012, and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Microbiology & Immunology at UCSF with Dr. Peter Turnbaugh. Dr. Carmody's research investigates the biological, behavioral, and environmental determinants of dietary energy gain, with special interests in the energetic consequences of food processing and the contributions of the gut microbiome to energy metabolism. Her past studies have shown that the adoption of cooking by human ancestors would have transformed the energy landscape, helping to support the emergence of costly traits like larger body and brain size despite reductions in tooth and gut size. Her recent research extends this story, showing that consumption of a cooked diet reshapes the gut microbiota in ways relevant to energy gain and the evolution of host-microbial interactions.

Abstracts
When Gut Microbes Talk to Organs: Impact on Metabolism
Patrice D. Cani, PhD, Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels
Obesity and cardiometabolic diseases are characterized by altered inter-organ communication. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully understood. Changes in gut microbiota composition and activity have been associated with several metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and hepatic steatosis. We and others have discovered that both gut microbiota and host dialog operate via several mechanisms (e.g., microbial metabolites, bioactive lipids, innate immunity) to maintain symbiotic interactions. However, during nutritional disturbances such as high-fat diet feeding, low fiber intake, or other metabolic stressors, these fine-tuned interactions are altered, leading to changes in energy, lipid, and glucose homeostasis.
Among the key actors, we discovered that the innate immune system, the gut microbiota, and the endocannabinoid system are tightly interconnected, involving gut to brain or gut to adipose tissue axes. These findings highlight novel interactions and putatively explain pathological observations.
More recently, we discovered novel mechanisms of interaction between Akkermansia muciniphila and host organs. We have demonstrated that this "novel" bacterium plays a role in cardiometabolic disorders and gut barrier function in rodents. We have also found that the abundance of Akkermansia is strongly correlated with the metabolic response of obese patients upon dietary intervention. Finally, unpublished data and mechanisms of action will be discussed, using both mice and humans as model systems.
The Role of the Early Life Microbiota in Cardio–Metabolic Diseases
Martin J. Blaser, MD, New York University Langone Medical Center (NYULMC)
A major portion of the cells in the human body are microbial. We call these residential microbes—and their genes, products, and interactions with us—the human microbiome. Substantial evidence indicates that much of the human microbiome is inherited, suggesting selection for its functions. There is a growing literature of observations and experiments that indicate the importance of the microbiome in early life, with roles in the development of metabolism, immunity, and cognition. We have been studying early life exposures to antibiotics as microbiome disruptors. Antibiotics are clinically important because of their very extensive use in medical practice, especially in early life, and because they also are representative of other disruptive practices, including Cesarean sections and formula feeding affecting infants. Antibiotic exposures also are useful to model the effects of microbiome perturbation. We have studied two types of exposures: STAT (sub-therapeutic antibiotic treatment, modeled after farm practices for growth promotion), and PAT (pulsed antibiotic treatment, mimicking dosing of human children at therapeutic levels). In mouse models, we have shown that in comparison to controls, antibiotic exposures can lead to increased adiposity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and can accelerate and increase rates of type 1 diabetes. These models show the feasibility that antibiotic exposures may indeed affect human children, and identify important relationships and pathways that can lead to improved preventions and therapies.
Therapeutic Targeting of the Gut Microbiome for the Treatment of Cardio–Metabolic Diseases
Stanley L. Hazen, MD, PhD, Cleveland Clinic
Recent studies reveal a novel mechanistic link between intestinal microbiota and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Dietary nutrients with trimethyl amine groups (e.g. choline, phosphatidylcholine, and carnitine) are acted upon by gut microbes to form trimethylamine (TMA), which is then converted by host hepatic flavin monooxygenases to form the metabolite TMAO (trimethylamine-N-oxide). TMAO in animal model studies has been shown to promote atherosclerosis. Human clinical studies show TMAO strongly associates with incident risks for myocardial infarction, stroke, or death, and is generated in a gut microbiota-dependent fashion. More recent studies show that the metaorganismal TMAO pathway is linked to development and adverse prognosis in additional vulnerable populations for cardiovascular disease risks, including heart failure and chronic kidney disease patients. Moreover, the TMAO pathway is seen to be mechanistically linked to altered platelet responsiveness and enhanced thrombosis potential. A new therapeutic paradigm will be discussed and proof of concept studies presented whereby microbial pathways such as those involved in TMAO production may be targeted with non-lethal inhibitors for atherothrombotic diseases. Gut microbiota represent a novel and exciting potential therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention of CVD.
Cooking Alters Gut Microbial Structure and Function
Rachel Carmody, PhD, Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University
Variations in the composition of the gut microbial community (microbiota) and its cumulative genetic and metabolic potential (microbiome) have been linked to risks or treatment outcomes for multiple diseases, including metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Diet has repeatedly emerged as a critical determinant of variation in gut microbial structure and function, potentially outweighing even the genetic background of the host. To date, most studies of dietary impacts on the gut microbiota have compared diets with divergent ingredient profiles, e.g. high-fat versus low-fat, animal-based versus plant-based, or with versus without additives. However the everyday practice of cooking a given food could also shape the gut microbiome through heat-induced effects on the bioavailability of nutrients and xenobiotic compounds. Using conventional and gnotobiotic mice, we show that a plant-based diet served cooked versus raw alters the membership, abundance, transcription, and physiology of the gut microbial community, with effects driven by heat-associated improvements in starch digestibility and inactivation of native foodborne antimicrobial compounds. These changes are relevant to host energy gain, with gut microbial communities conditioned on raw diets enhancing energy harvest when transplanted into germ-free recipients. Our results show that diet-driven interactions between host and microbiome depend on both the food and its form, indicating a need for careful reporting and/or controls in dietary studies of the gut microbiome.

Gut Microbiota and Brain Interactions in Diet-induced Obesity
Marion Soto, PhD, Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School
Modifications in the gut microbiota composition have been associated with a variety of pathogeneses such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In addition to these metabolic effects, there is accumulating evidence suggesting that the microbiota may regulate brain function and behavior. To further explore the role of the gut-brain axis in obesity, we challenged C57Bl/6J mice with high fat diet (HFD) and treated them with either vancomycin, which kills gram positive bacteria, or metronidazole, which kills anaerobic bacteria. As expected, HFD-fed mice became obese and insulin resistant, and treatment with either antibiotic improved glucose metabolism. This was associated with decreased serum TNF-alpha levels and decreased inflammatory markers in different tissues, including in the brain. Neurobehavioral tasks revealed increased anxiety and depressive-like behaviors in HFD-fed mice, and both antibiotic treatments reversed this phenotype. These changes were associated with an improvement of insulin signaling at a molecular level in peripheral tissues and the brains of HFD-fed mice. These findings could be reproduced by transferring gut bacteria isolated from antibiotic-treated donors to HFD-fed mice. HFD and antibiotic treatment also changed multiple serum metabolites, including several neurotransmitters and their precursors/metabolites. Thus, antibiotic treatment modifies the gut microbiome and impacts various metabolites and inflammatory markers induced by HFD in both the periphery and the brain. This leads to improved brain insulin signaling and reversal of the HFD-induced neurobehavioral changes.

The Intestinal Adaptive Immune System in Obesity and Insulin Resistance: A Potential New Therapeutic Target
Dan Winer, MD, Toronto General Research Institute (TGRI), University Health Network, Toronto; and University of Toronto
Obesity and its associated metabolic abnormalities, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D), represent a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance precedes type 2 diabetes (T2D) in mice and humans, and is thought to be a key driving factor in the development of T2D. Multiple factors contribute to insulin sensitivity but chronic inflammation of metabolic tissues, including visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and liver, resulting in release of pro-inflammatory cytokines is known to be a major contributor. More recently, in addition to VAT and liver, growing evidence has implicated the bowel immune system as an important contributor to metabolic disease. Diet induced obesity alters the intestinal immune system at levels of innate and adaptive immunity. These alterations impact the gut microbiota, intestinal barrier function, gut hormone release, and oral tolerance to luminal antigens, with downstream implications to metabolic homeostasis. Accordingly, the gut immune system may represent a novel therapeutic target for systemic insulin resistance. This talk will outline emerging concepts in the field of intestinal immunity in obesity-related insulin resistance, with a focus on adaptive immunity, and discuss the potential for targeting the intestinal immune system as a new therapeutic approach to metabolic disease.
Human Gut Microbes Impact Host Serum Metabolome and Insulin Sensitivity
Henrik Bjørn Nielsen, PhD, Clinical-Microbiomics A/S, Copenhagen
Insulin resistance is a forerunner state of type 2 diabetes. Here we show how the human gut microbiome impacts the serum metabolome and associates with insulin resistance in 277 non-diabetic Danish individuals. The serum metabolome of insulin-resistant individuals is characterized by increased levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which correlate with a gut microbiome that has an enriched biosynthetic potential for BCAAs and is deprived of genes encoding bacterial inward transporters for these amino acids. Prevotella copri and Bacteroides vulgatus are identified as the main species driving the association between biosynthesis of BCAAs and insulin resistance, and in mice we demonstrate that P. copri can induce insulin resistance, aggravate glucose intolerance, and augment circulating levels of BCAAs. Our findings suggest that microbial targets may have the potential to diminish insulin resistance and reduce the incidence of common metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.
Acetate Mediates a Microbiome–Brain–β Cell Axis Promoting the Metabolic Syndrome
Gerald I. Shulman, MD, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Yale University School of Medicine
Obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome are associated with changes to the gut microbiota; however, the mechanism by which modifications to the gut microbiota might lead to these conditions is unknown. In this lecture I will review recent studies demonstrating that increased production of acetate by an altered gut microbiota leads to activation of the parasympathetic nervous system which in turn promotes increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, increased ghrelin secretion, hyperphagia, obesity, and its related sequelae in rodents.
