Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excess body fat elevates colorectal cancer risk. While bariatric surgery (BRS) induces significant weight loss, its effects on the fecal stream and colon biology are poorly understood. Specifically, limited data exist on the impact of bariatric surgery (BRS) on fecal secondary bile acids (BA), including lithocholic acid (LCA), a putative promotor of colorectal carcinogenesis. METHODS This cross-sectional case-control study included 44 patients with obesity; 15 pre-BRS (controls) vs. 29 at a median of 24.1 months post-BRS. We examined the fecal concentrations of 11 BA by liquid chromatography and gene abundance of BA-metabolizing bacterial enzymes through fecal metagenomic sequencing. Differences were quantified using non-parametric tests for BA levels and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) for genes encoding BA-metabolizing enzymes. RESULTS Total fecal secondary BA concentrations trended towards lower levels post- vs. pre-BRS controls (p = 0.07). Individually, fecal LCA concentrations were significantly lower post- vs. pre-BRS (8477.0 vs. 11,914.0 uM/mg, p < 0.008). Consistent with this finding, fecal bacterial genes encoding BA-metabolizing enzymes, specifically 3-betahydroxycholanate-3-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.391) and 3-alpha-hydroxycholanate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.52), were also lower post- vs. pre-BRS controls (LDA of - 3.32 and - 2.64, respectively, adjusted p < 0.0001). Post-BRS fecal BA concentrations showed significant inverse correlations with weight loss, a healthy diet quality, and increased physical activity. CONCLUSIONS Concentrations of LCA, a secondary BA, and bacterial genes needed for BA metabolism are lower post-BRS. These changes can impact health and modulate the colorectal cancer cascade. Further research is warranted to examine how surgical alterations and the associated dietary changes impact bile acid metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation of lithocholic acid (LCA) using CYP107D1 (OleP), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from the oleandomycin synthesis pathway of Streptomyces antibioticus. RESULTS Co-expression of CYP107D1 from S. antibioticus and the reductase/ferredoxin system PdR/PdX from Pseudomonas putida was performed in Escherichia coli whole cells. In vivo hydroxylation of LCA exclusively yielded the 6β-OH product murideoxycholic acid (MDCA). In resting cells, 19.5% of LCA was converted to MDCA within 24 h, resulting in a space time yield of 0.04 mmol L-1 h-1. NMR spectroscopy confirmed the identity of MDCA as the sole product. CONCLUSIONS The multifunctional P450 monooxygenase CYP107D1 (OleP) can hydroxylate LCA, forming MDCA as the only product.

Abstract
During the last 80 years there have been extraordinary advances in our knowledge of the chemistry and biology of bile acids. We present here a brief history of the major achievements as we perceive them. Bernal, a physicist, determined the X-ray structure of cholesterol crystals, and his data together with the vast chemical studies of Wieland and Windaus enabled the correct structure of the steroid nucleus to be deduced. Today, C24 and C27 bile acids together with C27 bile alcohols constitute most of the bile acid "family". Patterns of bile acid hydroxylation and conjugation are summarized. Bile acid measurement encompasses the techniques of GC, HPLC, and MS, as well as enzymatic, bioluminescent, and competitive binding methods. The enterohepatic circulation of bile acids results from vectorial transport of bile acids by the ileal enterocyte and hepatocyte; the key transporters have been cloned. Bile acids are amphipathic, self-associate in solution, and form mixed micelles with polar lipids, phosphatidylcholine in bile, and fatty acids in intestinal content during triglyceride digestion. The rise and decline of dissolution of cholesterol gallstones by the ingestion of 3,7-dihydroxy bile acids is chronicled. Scientists from throughout the world have contributed to these achievements.

Abstract
Biliary bile salt composition of 677 vertebrate species (103 fish, 130 reptiles, 271 birds, 173 mammals) was determined. Bile salts were of three types: C(27) bile alcohols, C(27) bile acids, or C(24) bile acids, with default hydroxylation at C-3 and C-7. C(27) bile alcohols dominated in early evolving fish and amphibians; C(27) bile acids, in reptiles and early evolving birds. C(24) bile acids were present in all vertebrate classes, often with C(27) alcohols or with C(27) acids, indicating two evolutionary pathways from C(27) bile alcohols to C(24) bile acids: a) a 'direct' pathway and b) an 'indirect' pathway with C(27) bile acids as intermediates. Hydroxylation at C-12 occurred in all orders and at C-16 in snakes and birds. Minor hydroxylation sites were C-1, C-2, C-5, C-6, and C-15. Side chain hydroxylation in C(27) bile salts occurred at C-22, C-24, C-25, and C-26, and in C(24) bile acids, at C-23 (snakes, birds, and pinnipeds). Unexpected was the presence of C(27) bile alcohols in four early evolving mammals. Bile salt composition showed significant variation between orders but not between families, genera, or species. Bile salt composition is a biochemical trait providing clues to evolutionary relationships, complementing anatomical and genetic analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prairie dog has become the established animal gallstone model. This species has a unique propensity to form cholesterol gallstones in response to dietary manipulations. The development of a reliable gallbladder cell culture technique is critical for understanding pathogenic mechanisms of gallstone formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prairie dogs underwent laparotomy and cholecystectomy, followed by initiation of cell cultures. [3H]Thymidine incorporation was used to assess cell growth, and cell lines were assessed using routine histochemical and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS Cell yields from prairie dog gallbladders were 4-8 x 10(6) viable cells per animal with viability ranging from 80 to 95%. When plated at 5 x 10(5) cells/cm2, cell clusters, visible within 24 h, coalesced into confluent monolayers within 3-5 days. Cultures remained viable for 6-8 weeks and could be passed for three to four subcultures. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated a high degree of epithelial purity with immunopositivity for AE1/AE3, and cytokeratin, with no vimentin positivity (mesenchymal antigen). Intracytoplasmic vacuoles demonstrated positive staining for Alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff, and mucicarmine and an anti-gallbladder mucin antibody confirmed the presence of the glycoprotein mucin. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates a reliable method for initiation and maintenance of prairie dog gallbladder epithelial cell cultures with a high degree of purity. This technique should allow further studies into the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones in this model.

Abstract
We examined the effect of diet on gallstone incidence and the composition of biliary phosphatidylcholines in methyltestosterone-treated female hamsters. These hamsters were fed a nutritionally adequate purified lithogenic diet containing 2% corn oil, 4% butterfat, 0.3% cholesterol, and 0.05% methyltestosterone, resulting in a cholesterol gallstone incidence of 86%. This incidence was lowered when mono- and polyunsaturated fats or fatty acids were added to the diet: 2.5% oleic acid resulted in total prevention of cholesterol cholelithiasis, 2.5% linoleic acid, and 4% safflower oil (78% linoleic acid content) reduced gallstone incidence to 26 and 8%, respectively. An additional 4% butterfat (29% oleic acid content) produced gallstones in 50% of the animals. At the end of the 6-wk feeding period, the bile of all hamsters was supersaturated with cholesterol. The major biliary phosphatidylcholine species in all groups were (sn-1-sn-2): 16:0-18:2, 16:0-18:1, 18:0-18:2, 16:0-20:4, and 18:2-18:2. The safflower oil- and linoleic acid-fed hamsters exhibited an enrichment of 16:0-18:2 (16-18%); added butterfat or oleic acid increased the proportion of 16:0-18:1 (9 and 25%, respectively). We conclude that the phosphatidylcholine molecular species in female hamster bile can be altered by dietary fats/fatty acids and that mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids play a role in suppressing the induced cholelithiasis.

Abstract
The effects of beta-muricholic acid and hyocholic acid on cholesterol cholelithiasis were examined in two animal models. The following experiments were carried out: A) In a gallstone prevention study, prairie dogs were fed the lithogenic diet with or without 0.1% beta-muricholic or 0.1% hyocholic acid for eight weeks. B) In a second prevention study, hamsters were fed the lithogenic diet with or without 0.1% beta-muricholic acid or 0.1% hyocholic acid for six weeks. C) In a gallstone dissolution study, hamsters were fed the lithogenic diet for six weeks to induce stones; stone dissolution was examined during administration of a cholesterol-free purified diet with or without 0.1% beta-muricholic acid or 0.1% hyocholic acid. In the prevention study in prairie dogs (A), both bile acids failed to prevent stone formation, the cholesterol saturation index of bile was 0.89 in the lithogenic controls, remained unchanged with hyocholic acid and increased to 1.52 in the beta-muricholic acid group. In the prevention study in hamsters (B), beta-muricholic acid completely inhibited the cholesterol cholelithiasis (0% stone incidence); the cholesterol saturation index of bile was 1.78 (compared to lithogenic controls, 1.37). Hyocholic acid reduced stone incidence to 16% with a cholesterol saturation index of 0.98. In the dissolution study in hamsters (C), preexisting cholesterol gallstones were not dissolved by either hydrophilic bile acid after feeding these bile acids for an additional six weeks; at the end of the experiment, the cholesterol saturation indices were below unity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The effectiveness of ursodeoxycholic acid in treating biliary liver diseases is limited by low bioavailability and moderate activity. A new analogue of ursodeoxycholic acid was synthesized with a fluorine atom in position 6 because this should have resulted in an analogue more hydrophilic than ursodeoxycholic acid but with similar detergency. METHODS After synthesis, detergency, solubility, and lipophilicity of the 6-fluoro analogue in aqueous solution were determined and compared with those of natural analogues. Stability toward 7-dehydroxylation was assessed in human stools, pharmacokinetics and metabolism were evaluated in bile fistula rats and hamsters, accumulation in bile with long-term feeding was assessed in the hamsters, and the ability to prevent the hepatotoxic effects of taurochenodeoxycholic acid was evaluated in bile fistula rats after intraduodenal coinfusion. RESULTS 6-Fluoro-ursodeoxycholic acid was more stable than its parent molecule toward 7-dehydroxylation, it was efficiently secreted in bile, and its total recovery was very high. With long-term administration of 6-fluoro-ursodeoxycholic acid, taurine and glycine amidates accounted for more than 60% of the total biliary bile acids (15% ursodeoxycholic acid). The 6-fluoro analogue prevented the hepatotoxic effects of taurochenodeoxycholic acid. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that 6-fluoro-ursodeoxycholic acid has considerable potential as a pharmaceutical agent in the treatment of cholestatic liver disease.

Abstract
There are several inherited and acquired disorders that can result in chronic iron overload in humans, and the major clinical consequences are hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular cancer, cardiac disease, and diabetes. It is clear that lipid peroxidation occurs in experimental iron overload if sufficiently high levels of iron within hepatocytes are achieved. Lipid peroxidation is associated with hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal dysfunction in experimental iron overload, and lipid peroxidation may underlie the increased lysosomal fragility that has been detected in liver samples from both iron-loaded human subjects and experimental animals. Reduced cellular ATP levels, impaired cellular calcium homeostasis, and damage to DNA may all contribute to hepatocellular injury in iron overload. Long-term dietary iron overload in rats can lead to increased collagen gene expression and hepatic fibrosis, perhaps due to activation of hepatic lipocytes. The mechanisms whereby lipocytes are activated in iron overload remain to be elucidated; possible mediators include aldehydic products of iron-induced lipid peroxidation produced in hepatocytes, tissue ferritin, and/or cytokines released by activated Kupffer cells.

Abstract
In the present study, we examined the effect of the following factors on a hamster model of cholesterol cholelithiasis: (i) the source of the golden Syrian hamsters (Sasco, Omaha, NE or Charles River, Wilmington, MA), (ii) the sex of the experimental animals and (iii) their age (4 wk vs. 8 wk of age). All hamsters were fed a semipurified diet which contained cholesterol (0.3%) and palmitic acid (1.2%). No cholesterol gallstones formed in any of the female hamsters regardless of age or source. The 4-week-old male hamsters from Sasco had the greatest incidence of gallstones (93%). The 8-week-old male hamsters tended to have a lower incidence of cholesterol gallstones than the younger ones, regardless of the commercial supplier (67 vs. 93% for Sasco and 27 vs. 40% for Charles River). Female hamsters had higher liver and serum cholesterol levels than the male hamsters; Charles River hamsters had lower serum cholesterol concentrations than the Sasco animals. Total biliary lipid concentrations were highest in Sasco male hamsters, but biliary cholesterol (mol%) was lower in the males than in the females (4.2-4.5% vs. 6.1-7.1%) regardless of age. The cholesterol saturation indices were higher in the Sasco females than the corresponding males; these values were lower in the Sasco hamsters than the Charles River animals, regardless of age or sex. The male Sasco hamsters had a higher total biliary bile acid concentration (98.9 mg/mL) than the Sasco females (58.9 mg/mL) and the Charles River animals (24.6 mg/mL for males and 38.2 mg/mL for females). The percentage of chenodeoxycholic acid in bile was significantly lower, and the percentage of cholic acid was higher in all females as compared to males.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The metabolism and time-courses of urinary and fecal excretions of murideoxycholic acid (MDCA; 3 alpha,6 beta-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholanoic acid), a 6 beta-hydroxylated bile acid, was investigated in man. The study was carried out in two groups of subjects. Six cholecystectomized patients fitted with a cystic duct drain ingested 100 mg of a tracer dose of 3H-MDCA. Time-course of radioactivity in plasma was then followed for an 8-h period. Biliary, urinary and fecal excretions of radioactivity were measured for a 5-day period and excreted MDCA metabolites were identified. Five lithiasic patients with intact enterohepatic circulation ingested 500 mg of the same tracer dose of 3H-MDCA. Radioactivity in plasma was followed for a 49-h period and urinary and fecal excretions of radioactivity were measured daily for 7 days. In the first group, the excretion of the radioactivity by the three routes (bile+urine+feces) reached 97.8 +/- 1.5% of the ingested dose but dropped to 75 +/- 8.3% (urine+feces) in patients in the second group. In cholecystectomized patients, the estimation of intestinal MDCA absorption was dependent on cystic duct drain flow rate and gave values ranging from 20% to 87%. The biological half-life of MDCA in lithiasic patients averaged 3.4 +/- 0.7 days. Radioactivity appeared in the plasma in the first hour and reached a maximum 6 and 3 h after the beginning of the experiment in group I and II respectively. In the second group, another peak of radioactivity in plasma was observed just after breakfast.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
