    Host–microbe interplay in the cardiometabolic benefits of dietary polyphenols
    (Elsevier Science, 2019-05-07) Anhê, Fernando Forato; Choi, Béatrice; Marette, André; Dyck, Jason; Schertzer, Jonathan
    Polyphenols are nonessential phytonutrients abundantly found in fruits and vegetables. A wealth of data from preclinical models and clinical trials consistently supports cardiometabolic benefits associated with dietary polyphenols in murine models and humans. Furthermore, a growing number of studies have shown that specific classes of polyphenols, such as proanthocyanidins (PACs) and ellagitannins, as well as the stilbenoid resveratrol, can alleviate several features of the metabolic syndrome. Moreover, mounting evidence points to the gut microbiota as a key mediator of the health benefits of polyphenols. In this review we summarize recent findings supporting the beneficial potential of polyphenols against cardiometabolic diseases, with a focus on the role of host-microbe interactions.

    Effects of a supplementation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids with or without fish gelatin on gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in obese, insulin-resistant subjects
    (S. Karger, 2011) Marette, André; Ponton, André; Rudkowska, Iwona; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Jacques, Hélène; Holub, Bruce J.; Lavigne, Charles
    Aim: To investigate gene expression changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) following an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and n-3 PUFA plus fish gelatin (+FG) supplementation. Methods: A transcriptome comparison of 8-week supplementation with n-3 PUFA and n-3 PUFA+FG was carried out in PBMCs of 16 obese insulin-resistant subjects. Results: Erythrocyte n-3 PUFA concentration increased and plasma triglycerides decreased significantly without altering inflammatory parameters after both supplementations. n-3 PUFA supplementation changed the expression of 805 genes, whereas n-3 PUFA+FG supplementation altered the expression of 184 genes. Three genes were commonly changed: fatty acid desaturase 1, free fatty acid receptor 3, and ectodysplasin. Pathway analyses indicate changes in gene expression via the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α pathway after both supplementations. Further, the extent of modifications in the expression of genes implicated in the inflammatory pathways – the oxidative stress response mediated by nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2, nuclear transcription factor ĸB, oxidative stress, and hypoxia-inducible factor signaling – was different after each supplementation. Conclusion: Although n-3 PUFA and n-3 PUFA+FG supplementations have a distinct impact on gene expression levels, the consequences on biochemical parameters and metabolic pathways were comparable after both supplementations.

    Raspberry consumption : identification of distinct immune-metabolic response profiles by whole blood transcriptome profiling
    (Elsevier, 2022-01-10) Franck, Maximilien; Toro Martin, Juan de; Varin, Thibaut; Garneau, Véronique; Pilon, Geneviève; Roy, Denis; Couture, Patrick; Couillard, Charles; Marette, André; Vohl, Marie-Claude
    Background. Numerous studies reported that diets rich in phenolic compounds are beneficial to human health, especially for immune-metabolic conditions, yet these effects and underlying mechanisms are not well defined. Objectives. The main goal of this study was to investigate the architecture of the inter-individual variability of the immune-metabolic response to raspberry consumption, by identifying distinct subgroups of participants sharing similar transcriptomic signatures. Methods. The 24 participants assigned to the treated arm of a randomized controlled trial, and at risk of developing metabolic syndrome, received 280g/day of frozen raspberries for 8 weeks. RNAseq data from whole blood assessed at weeks 0 and 8 were used to identify sub-groups of responses to raspberry consumption, by using partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and hierarchical clustering. Changes in clinical features, metabolic parameters, plasma metabolites and gut metagenomics were compared between the resulting sub-groups. Results. Transcriptomic-based clustering regrouped the initial 24 study participants into two significantly different sub-groups of response to raspberry consumption, with 13 participants being defined as responders and 11 as non-responders. Following raspberry consumption, a significant decrease in plasma triglycerides, total-cholesterol and C-reactive protein was found in the responder sub-group, as compared to the non-responder sub-group. Two major components composed respectively of 100 and 220 genes were further identified by sparse PLS-DA as those better discriminating responders and non-responders. Functional pathways related to cytokine production, leukocyte activation and immune response were significantly enriched with discriminant genes. Factor analysis revealed that the first metabolomic factor mostly composed of decreasing triglycerides and increasing phosphatidylcholines was significantly higher in responders, as compared to non-responders. Analysis of gut metagenomic data revealed differences between responders and non-responders prior to the intervention and distinct modulations, notably regarding Firmicutes and Actinobacteria phyla. Conclusions. The discrimination analysis carried out in the present study based on transcriptional changes following raspberry consumption was able to identify two divergent sub-groups of participants, which were further identified as responders and non-responders, according to their immune-metabolic and gut metagenomic responses. In the context of precision nutrition, this holistic approach represents a promising framework to tackle the issue of inter-individual variability in the understanding of the impact of foods or nutrients on immune-metabolic health.

    Acting as a molecular tailor : dye structural modifications for improved sensitivity towards lysophosphatidic acids sensing
    (American Chemiscal Society, 2022-12-28) Fontaine, Nicolas; Harter, Lara; Marette, André; Boudreau, Denis
    Lysophosphatidic acids (LPA) are key biomarkers for several physiological processes, the monitoring of which can provide insights into the host’s health. Common lab-based techniques for their detection are cumbersome, expensive and necessitate specialized personnel to operate. LPA-sensitive fluorescent probes have been described, albeit for non-aqueous conditions, which impedes their use in biological matrices. In this paper, we explore in detail the influence of structure on the extent of aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching using specially synthesized styrylpyridinium dyes bearing structural adaptations to bestow them enhanced affinity towards LPA in aqueous media. Spectroscopic investigations supported by time-resolved fluorimetry revealed the contribution of excimer formation to the fluorescence quenching mechanism displayed by the fluorescent probes. Experimental observations of the influence of structure on detection sensitivity were supported by DFT calculations.

    Transcriptomic profiles of skeletal muscle tissue following an euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp in insulin-resistant obese subjects
    (Springer Link, 2012-05-08) Rudkowska, Iwona; Weisnagel, John; Vohl, Marie-Claude; Jacques, Hélène; Marette, André
    Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is an early phenomenon in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Muscle is mainly responsible for insulin-stimulated glucose clearance from the bloodstream. Thus, regulation of gene expression in muscle tissue may be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. The objective was to investigate gene expression and metabolic pathways alterations in skeletal muscle tissue following an euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp in obese insulin-resistant subjects. We carried out a transcriptome comparison of skeletal muscle tissue before and after a 3-h euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp following 8-week supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) (1.8 g/day) with or without a supplement of fish gelatin (FG) (25 % of daily protein intake) in 16 obese insulin-resistant subjects. Results indicate that approximately 5 % (1932) of expressed transcripts were significantly changed after the clamp in both n-3 PUFA and n-3 PUFA + FG supplementation periods. Of these differentially expressed transcripts, 1394 genes associated with enzymes, transcription and translation regulators, transporters, G protein-coupled receptors, cytokines, and ligand-dependent nuclear receptors were modified. Metabolic pathways that were significantly modified included liver X receptor/retinoid X receptors (RXR) activation, vitamin D receptor/RXR activation, interleukin (IL)-8, acute phase response, IL10, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, G-beta/gamma and hepatocyte growth factor and IL6 signaling. Taken together, results suggest that mainly inflammatory and transcription factors are modified following clamp in obese insulin-resistant subjects. Overall, understanding the changes in metabolic pathways due to insulin may be a potential target for the management of insulin resistance.

    Impact of sex and sex hormones on pathophysiology and progression of aortic stenosis in a murine model
    (Physiological reports, 2022-08-27) Fleury, Marie-Ange; Annabi, Mohamed Salah; Voisine, Martine; Hervault, Maxime; Boilard, Anne-Julie; Shen, Mylène; Marette, André; Côté, Nancy; Clavel, Marie-Annick
    The lesions observed in AS have been shown to be sex specific, with women presenting extensive fibrotic remodeling while men developing more calcification deposit. We thus aimed to evaluate the influence of sex and sex hormones on the pathophysiology of aortic valve stenosis (AS) in our mouse model of AS. LDLr-/- ApoB100/100 IGF-II+/- mice (n = 210) were separated in six different groups: (1) intact male (IM), (2) intact female (IF), (3) castrated male (CM), (4) ovariectomized females (OF), (5) CM with testosterone supplementation (CMT), and (6) OF with 17β-estradiol supplementation (OFE). Mice were fed a high-fat/high-sucrose/high-cholesterol diet for 6 months. Hemodynamic progression of AS was followed by transthoracic echocardiography (at 12 and 36 weeks) and analyzed in all mice alive at 36 weeks. Aortic valves were collected for histological and digital droplet PCR* analysis. Increases in peak velocity were comparable in IF and IM (24.2 ± 5.7 vs. 25.8 ± 5.3 cm/s; p = 0.68), but IF presented with less severe AS. Between the three groups of male mice, AS progression was more important in IM (increase in peak velocity: 24.2 ± 5.7 cm/s; p < 0.001) compared to CM (6.2 ± 1.4; p = 0.42), and CMT (15.1 ± 3.5; p = 0.002). In the three groups of female mice, there were no statistical differences in AS progression. Digital PCR analysis revealed an important upregulation of the osteogenic gene RunX2 in IM (p < 0.0001) and downregulation of the pro-calcifying gene ALPL in IF (p < 0.05). Male sex and testosterone play an important role in upregulation of pro-calcifying genes and hemodynamic progression of AS. However, female mice appeared to be protected against calcification, characterized by downregulation of pro-osteogenic genes, but presented a similar AS hemodynamic progression

    Feeding diversified protein sources exacerbates hepatic insulin resistance via increased gut microbial branched-chain fatty acids and mTORC1 signaling in obese mice
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2021-06-07) Marcotte, Bruno; Houde, Vanessa; Daniel, Noémie; Marette, André; Tremblay, Angelo; Varin, Thibaut; Vors, Cécile; Choi, Béatrice; Ouellette, Adia; Ilkayeva, Olga; Feutry, Perrine; Ståhlman, Marcus; St-Pierre, Philippe; Bäckhed, Fredrik; Phillip J. White
    Animal models of human diseases are classically fed purified diets that contain casein as the unique protein source. We show that provision of a mixed protein source mirroring that found in the western diet exacerbates diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance by potentiating hepatic mTORC1/S6K1 signaling as compared to casein alone. These effects involve alterations in gut microbiota as shown by fecal microbiota transplantation studies. The detrimental impact of the mixed protein source is also linked with early changes in microbial production of branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA) and elevated plasma and hepatic acylcarnitines, indicative of aberrant mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. We further show that the BCFA, isobutyric and isovaleric acid, increase glucose production and activate mTORC1/ S6K1 in hepatocytes. Our findings demonstrate that alteration of dietary protein source exerts a rapid and robust impact on gut microbiota and BCFA with significant consequences for the development of obesity and insulin resistance.

    Sex-differences in echocardiographic assessment of aortic valve in young adult LDLr−/−/ApoB100/100/IGF-II+/− mice
    (Elsevier, 2020-08-27) Clisson, Marine; Côté, Nancy; Fleury, Marie-Ange; Shen, Mylène; Voisine, Martine; Marette, André; Hervault, Maxime; Annabi, Mohamed Salah; Clavel, Marie-Annick; Boilard, Anne-Julie; Ong, Géraldine
    Background LDLr−/−/ApoB100/100/IGF-II+/− mice are used as a calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) model. However, normal aortic valve hemodynamics i.e. remotely from CAVD onset and the sex-related differences are poorly known. Methods and results Four groups of mice, intact males (IM, n = 49) and females (IF, n = 50), castrated males (CxM, n = 79) and ovariectomized females (OxF: 73), underwent a Doppler-echocardiography at 12 weeks of age. Gonadectomy was performed at 8 weeks. Aortic valve assessment using effective orifice area (EOA, using the continuity equation) and peak aortic transvalvular velocity (VPeak) was feasible in 89% of the mice with good to excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.90 to 0.98, p < 0.001). Mean VPeak was 104 ± 17 cm/s and mean EOA was 1.18*10−2 ± 0.22*10−2 cm2. EOA indexed to body surface area was 1.5 ± 0.3 cm2/m2. The 95th percentile of Vpeak was 132 cm/s and the 5th percentile of indexed EOA was 1.0 cm2/m2. Interestingly, IM had the highest VPeak (114 ± 14 cm/s) vs each of the other groups (CxM: 106 ± 19 cm/s, OxF: 97 ± 13 cm/s and IF: 96 ± 12 cm/s, ANOVA and corrected p < 0.001). This was mostly explained by a higher stroke volume (ANOVA and corrected p < 0.001) in IM compared to other groups. There were no major sex-differences in ventricular systolic function parameters. Conclusion In LDLr−/−/ApoB100/100/IGF-II CAVD mice model, an aortic EOA <0.8*10−2 cm2 (or indexed EOA <1.0cm2/m2), and a peak aortic valve velocity > 132 cm/s may be proposed as thresholds to define CAVD. Intact male mice appear to have higher velocities.

    Nucleation points : the forgotten parameter in the synthesis of hydrogel-coated gold nanoparticles
    (Basel, 2021-01-26) Sepulveda, Adolfo; Picard-Lafond, Audrey; Boudreau, Denis; Marette, André
    The implementation of gold-hydrogel core-shell nanomaterials in novel light-driven technologies requires the development of well-controlled and scalable synthesis protocols with precisely tunable properties. Herein, new insights are presented concerning the importance of using the concentration of gold cores as a control parameter in the seeded precipitation polymerization process to modulate—regardless of core size—relevant fabrication parameters such as encapsulation yield, particle size and shrinkage capacity. Controlling the number of nucleation points results in the facile tuning of the encapsulation process, with yields reaching 99% of gold cores even when using different core sizes at a given particle concentration. This demonstration is extended to the encapsulation of bimodal gold core mixtures with equally precise control on the encapsulation yield, suggesting that this principle could be extended to encapsulating cores composed of other materials. These findings could have a significant impact on the development of stimuli-responsive smart materials.

    Irisin is more strongly predicted by muscle oxidative potential than adiposity in non-diabetic men
    (Springer Science & Business Media B.V., 2015-03-28) Joanisse, Denis R.; Dubois, Marie Julie; Marette, André; Fleury, Pascale; Tremblay, Angelo; Lacaille, Michel; Weisnagel, John; Huth, Claire; Mauriege, Pascale
    Numerous controversies surround the peptide hormone irisin. Although implicated as a myokine promoting the browning of adipose tissue in rodents, its roles in humans remain unclear. Contradictory results have also been found with respect to the relationships between adiposity or metabolic health and plasma irisin levels in humans. We investigated the relationship between irisin levels and body composition (hydrostatic weighing), insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemiceuglycemic clamp), fitness level (ergocycle VO2max) and skeletal muscle metabolic profile in 53 men (aged 34–53 years) from four groups: sedentary non-obese controls (body mass index [BMI] <25 kg/m2), sedentary obese (BMI >30 kg/m2), sedentary obese glucose-intolerant, and non-obese highly trained endurance active. Baseline plasma irisin levels were significantly different between groups, being lowest in trained men (140.6±38.2 ng/mL) and highest in metabolically deteriorated glucose-intolerant subjects (204.0±50.5 ng/mL; ANOVA p=0.01). Including all subjects, irisin levels were positively associated with adiposity (e.g. fat mass, r=0.430, p<0.01) and negatively associated with fitness (r=-0.369, p<0.01), insulin sensitivity (M/I, r=-0.355, p<0.01) and muscle citrate synthase (CS) activity (r=-0.482, p<0.01). Most correlations lost statistical significance when excluding active individuals, except for insulin resistance (r=-0.413, p<0.01) and CS (r=-0.462, p<0.01). Multiple regression analyses reveal CS as the strongest independent predictor of irisin levels (r2 range 0.214 to 0.237). We conclude that muscle oxidative potential is an important factor linked to circulating irisin levels. Keywords : Irisin . Myokine . Adipose tissue . Adipokine . Obesity. Insulin sensitivity
