Human gut microbiota and their production of endocannabinoid-like mediators are directly affected by a dietary oil. Gut Microbes 2024; 16:2335879.

Abstract
Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) and the gut microbiome affect each other. We investigated the impact of supplementation with Buglossoides arvensis oil (BO), rich in stearidonic acid (SDA), on the human gut microbiome. Employing the Mucosal Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (M-SHIME), we simulated the ileal and ascending colon microbiomes of four donors. Our results reveal two distinct microbiota clusters influenced by BO, exhibiting shared and contrasting shifts. Notably, Bacteroides and Clostridia abundance underwent similar changes in both clusters, accompanied by increased propionate production in the colon. However, in the ileum, cluster 2 displayed a higher metabolic activity in terms of BO-induced propionate levels. Accordingly, a triad of bacterial members involved in propionate production through the succinate pathway, namely Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and Phascolarctobacterium, was identified particularly in this cluster, which also showed a surge of second-generation probiotics, such as Akkermansia, in the colon. Finally, we describe for the first time the capability of gut bacteria to produce N-acyl-ethanolamines, and particularly the SDA-derived N-stearidonoyl-ethanolamine, following BO supplementation, which also stimulated the production of another bioactive endocannabinoid-like molecule, commendamide, in both cases with variations across individuals. Spearman correlations enabled the identification of bacterial genera potentially involved in endocannabinoid-like molecule production, such as, in agreement with previous reports, Bacteroides in the case of commendamide. This study suggests that the potential health benefits on the human microbiome of certain dietary oils may be amenable to stratified nutrition strategies and extend beyond n-3 PUFAs to include microbiota-derived endocannabinoid-like mediators.

Abstract
(1) Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known for their ability to protect against numerous metabolic disorders. The consumption of oily fish is the main source of PUFAs in human nutrition and is commonly used for supplement production. However, seafood is an overexploited source that cannot be guaranteed to cover the global demands. Furthermore, it is not consumed by everyone for ecological, economic, ethical, geographical and taste reasons. The growing demand for natural dietary sources of PUFAs suggests that current nutritional sources are insufficient to meet global needs, and less and less will be. Therefore, it is crucial to find sustainable sources that are acceptable to all, meeting the world population's needs. (2) Scope: This review aims to evaluate the recent evidence about alternative plant sources of essential fatty acids, focusing on long-chain omega-3 (n-3) PUFAs. (3) Method: A structured search was performed on the PubMed search engine to select available human data from interventional studies using omega-3 fatty acids of non-animal origin. (4) Results: Several promising sources have emerged from the literature, such as algae, microorganisms, plants rich in stearidonic acid and GM plants. However, the costs, acceptance and adequate formulation deserve further investigation.

Lipidome analysis and characterization of Buglossoides arvensis acyltransferases that incorporate polyunsaturated fatty acids into triacylglycerols. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2022; 324:111445. [PMID: 36037983 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2022.111445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Buglossoides arvensis is a burgeoning oilseed crop that contains an unique combination of ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), constituting ~80-85% of seed triacylglycerols (TAGs). To uncover the critical TAG biosynthetic pathways contributing for high PUFA accumulation, we performed lipidome of developing seeds and characterized acyltransferases involved in the final step of TAG biosynthesis. During seed development, distribution of lipid molecular species in individual lipid classes showed distinct patterns from an early-stage (6 days after flowering (DAF)) to the middle-stage (12 and 18 DAF) of oil biosynthesis. PUFA-containing TAG species drastically increased from 6 to 12 DAF. The expression profiles of key triacylglycerol biosynthesis genes and patterns of phosphatidylcholine, diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol molecular species during seed development were used to predict the contribution of diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT1 and DGAT2) and phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyltransferases (PDAT1 and PDAT2) to PUFA-rich TAG biosynthesis. Our analysis suggests that DGATs play a crucial role in enriching TAGs with PUFA compared to PDATs. This was further confirmed by fatty acid feeding studies in yeast expressing acyltransferases. BaDGAT2 preferentially incorporated high amounts of PUFAs into TAG, compared to BaDGAT1. Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of TAG accumulation in this plant and identify target genes for transgenic production of SDA in traditional oilseed crops.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs): Emerging Plant and Microbial Sources, Oxidative Stability, Bioavailability, and Health Benefits-A Review. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10101627.

Abstract
The omega−3 (n−3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid are well known to protect against numerous metabolic disorders. In view of the alarming increase in the incidence of chronic diseases, consumer interest and demand are rapidly increasing for natural dietary sources of n−3 PUFAs. Among the plant sources, seed oils from chia (Salvia hispanica), flax (Linum usitatissimum), and garden cress (Lepidium sativum) are now widely considered to increase α-linolenic acid (ALA) in the diet. Moreover, seed oil of Echium plantagineum, Buglossoides arvensis, and Ribes sp. are widely explored as a source of stearidonic acid (SDA), a more effective source than is ALA for increasing the EPA and DHA status in the body. Further, the oil from microalgae and thraustochytrids can also directly supply EPA and DHA. Thus, these microbial sources are currently used for the commercial production of vegan EPA and DHA. Considering the nutritional and commercial importance of n−3 PUFAs, this review critically discusses the nutritional aspects of commercially exploited sources of n−3 PUFAs from plants, microalgae, macroalgae, and thraustochytrids. Moreover, we discuss issues related to oxidative stability and bioavailability of n−3 PUFAs and future prospects in these areas.

Abstract
The bacterial communities inhabiting the rhizosphere play an important role in plant development and health. Here we studied the effect of inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens LBUM677, a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium that promotes seed oil accumulation, on the rhizosphere microbiome of three oilseed crops (Brassica napus, Buglossoides arvensis, and Glycine max) over time. Next-Generation high-throughput sequencing targeting the V4 region of 16S rDNA was used to characterize the microbial communities associated with the three different crops, inoculated or not with LBUM677, over a time period of up to 90 days post-inoculation. A total of 1,627,231 amplicon sequence variants were obtained and were taxonomically grouped into 39 different phyla. LBUM677 inoculation and sampling date were found to significantly influence the rhizosphere microbiome of the three oil-producing crops under study. Specifically, inoculation with LBUM677 and sampling date, but not the plant species, were found to significantly alter the alpha- and the beta-diversity of the rhizosphere microbial communities. Differential abundance analyses found that 29 taxonomical bacterial groups were significantly more abundant in the LBUM677 treatments while 30 were significantly more abundant in the control treatments. Predicted functions of the microorganisms were also enriched, including 47 enzymatic pathways in LBUM677 treatments. These non-targeted effects on rhizosphere bacterial communities are discussed in the context of oilseed crops.

Abstract
Dietary omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) are known to be potent biological regulators with therapeutic and preventive effects on human health. Many global health organizations have recommended consuming marine based omega-3 sources for neonatal brain development and reducing the risk of various chronic diseases. However, due to concerns regarding the origin, sustainable supply and safety of the marine sources, alternative n-3 PUFA sources are being explored. Recently, plant-based omega-3 sources are gaining much importance because of their sustainable supply and dietary acceptance. α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) rich seed oils are the major omega-3 fatty acid source available for human consumption. But, efficiency of conversion of ALA to n-3 LC-PUFAs in humans is limited due to a rate-limiting step in the n-3 pathway catalyzed by Δ6-desaturase. Botanical stearidonic acid (SDA, 18:4n-3) rich oils are emerging as a sustainable omega-3 source with efficient conversion rate to n-3 LC-PUFA especially to EPA, as it bypasses the Δ6-desaturase rate limiting step. Several recent studies have identified the major plant sources of SDA and explored its potential health benefits and preventive roles in inflammation, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. This systematic review summarizes the current state of knowledge on the sources, nutraceutical roles, food-based applications and the future perspectives of botanical SDA.

Identification and functional characterization of Buglossoides arvensis microsomal fatty acid desaturation pathway genes involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis in seeds. J Biotechnol 2019; 308:130-140.

Abstract
Buglossoides arvensis seed oil is the richest natural source of stearidonic acid (SDA), an ω-3 fatty acid with nutraceutical potential superior to α-linolenic acid (ALA). The molecular basis of polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis in B. arvensis is unknown. Here, we describe the identification of B. arvensis fatty acid desaturase2 (BaFAD2), fatty acid desaturase3 (BaFAD3), and Delta-6-desaturase (BaD6D-1 and BaD6D-2) genes by mining the transcriptome of developing seeds and their functional characterization by heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In silico analysis of their encoded protein sequences showed conserved histidine-boxes and signature motifs essential for desaturase activity. Expression profiling of these genes showed higher transcript abundance in reproductive tissues than in vegetative tissues, and their expression varied with temperature stress treatments. Yeast expressing BaFAD2 was found to desaturate both oleic acid and palmitoleic acid into linoleic acid (LA) and hexadecadienoic acid, respectively. Fatty acid supplementation studies in yeast expressing BaFAD3 and BaD6D-1 genes revealed that the encoded enzyme activities of BaFAD3 efficiently converted LA to ALA, and BaD6D-1 converted LA to γ-linolenic acid and ALA to SDA, but with an apparent preference to LA. BaD6D-2 did not show the encoded enzyme activity and is not a functional D6D. Our results provide an insight into SDA biosynthesis in B. arvensis and expand the repository of fatty acid desaturase targets available for biotechnological production of SDA in traditional oilseed crops.

Abstract
AIMS Pseudomonas spp. have been widely studied for their plant growth-promoting effects. However, their capacity to promote lipid accumulation in oilseed crops is not well characterized. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens LBUM677 on lipid accumulation in three oilseed crops: soybean (Glycine max), canola (Brassica napus) and corn gromwell (Buglossoides arvensis), a plant of high nutraceutical interest for its accumulation of the omega-3 stearidonic acid. METHODS AND RESULTS Pot experiments were conducted under controlled conditions where seeds were inoculated or not with LBUM677 and plants were harvested at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. A qPCR assay specifically targeting LBUM677 was used in parallel to correlate LBUM677 soil rhizosphere competency to growth promotion and seed lipid accumulation. Total oil seed content and fatty acid composition were analysed at seed maturity. Results showed that LBUM677 was able to establish itself in the rhizosphere of the three plant species at similar levels, but it differentially increased plant biomass, total oil content and lipid composition in a plant-specific manner. CONCLUSIONS Despite some species-specific differences observed in P. fluorescens LBUM677's effect on different crops, the strain appears to be a generalist plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria of oilseed crops. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY LBUM677 shows great potential to be used as an inoculum to promote oil yield and fatty acid accumulation in oilseed crops.

Abstract
Portulaca leaves serve as an alternative bioresource for edible PUFAs. Transcriptome data provide information to explore Portulaca as a model system for galactolipids, leaf lipid metabolism, and PUFA-rich designer lipids. Poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are gaining importance due to their innumerable health benefits, and hence, understanding their biosynthesis in plants has attained prominence in recent years. The most common source of PUFAs is of marine origin. Although reports have identified Portulaca oleracea (purslane) as a leaf source of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the mechanism of ALA accumulation and its distribution into various lipids has not been elucidated. Here, we present the lipid profiles of leaves and seeds of several accessions of P. oleracea. Among the nineteen distinct accessions, the RR04 accession has the highest amount of ALA and is primarily associated with galactolipids. In addition, we report the transcriptome of RR04, and we have mapped the potential genes involved in lipid metabolism. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major site of acyl editing, which is catalyzed by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT), an integral membrane protein that plays a major role in supplying oleate to the PC pool for further unsaturation. Our investigations using mass spectrometric analysis of leaf microsomal fractions identified LPCAT as part of a membrane protein complex. Both native and recombinant LPCAT showed strong acyltransferase activity with various acyl-CoA substrates. Altogether, the results suggest that ALA-rich glycerolipid biosynthetic machinery is highly active in nutritionally important Portulaca leaves. Furthermore, lipidome, transcriptome, and mass spectrometric analyses of RR04 provide novel information for exploring Portulaca as a potential resource and a model system for studying leaf lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Several marine oils and seed oils on the market contain relevant quantities of stearidonic acid (18:4n-3, SDA). The formation of 18:4n-3 trans fatty acids (tFA) during the refining of these oils necessitates the development of a method for their quantification. In this study, 18:4n-3 was isolated from Ahiflower and isomerized to obtain its 16 geometric isomers. The geometric isomers of 18:4n-3 were isolated by silver ion HPLC (Ag+ -HPLC) and characterized by partial reduction with hydrazine followed by gas chromatography analysis. The elution order of all 16 isomers was established using a 100 m × 0.25 mm 100% poly(biscyanopropyl siloxane) capillary column and at the elution temperature of 180 °C. The 4 mono-trans-18:4n-3 isomers produced during the refining of oils rich in 18:4n-3 were chromatographically resolved from each other, but c6,t9,c12,c15-18:4 coeluted with the tetra-cis isomer. These 2 fatty acids (FA) were resolved by reducing the separation temperature to 150 °C, but this change caused tetra-cis-18:4n-3 to coelute with t6,c9,c12,c15-18:4. Combining the results from 2 isothermal separations (180 and 150 °C) was necessary to quantify the 4 mono-trans 18:4n-3 FA in Ahiflower oil.

Abstract
Buglossoides arvensis is an emerging oilseed crop that is rich in stearidonic acid (SDA) and has several potential applications in human health and nutrition. The molecular basis of SDA biosynthesis in this plant remains unknown due to lack of genomic information. To unravel key genes involved in SDA-rich triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, we performed transcriptome sequencing of pooled mRNA from five different developmental stages of B. arvensis seeds using Illumina NextSeq platform. De novo transcriptome assembly generated 102,888 clustered transcripts from 39.83 million high-quality reads. Of these, 62.1% and 55.54% of transcripts were functionally annotated using Uniprot-Viridiplantae and KOG databases, respectively. A total of 10,021 SSR-containing sequences were identified using the MISA tool. Deep mining of transcriptome assembly using in silico tools led to the identification of genes involved in fatty acid and TAG biosynthesis. Expression profiling of 17 key transcripts involved in fatty acid desaturation and TAG biosynthesis showed expression patterns specific to the development stage that positively correlated with polyunsaturated fatty acid accumulation in the developing seeds. This first comprehensive transcriptome analysis provides the basis for future research on understanding molecular mechanisms of SDA-rich TAG accumulation in B. arvensis and aids in biotechnological production of SDA in other oilseed crops.
