Cheng ZQ, Liu TM, Ren PF, Chen C, Wang YL, Dai Y, Zhang X. Duodenal-jejunal bypass reduces serum ceramides via inhibiting intestinal bile acid-farnesoid X receptor pathway. World J Gastroenterol 2022; 28:4328-4337. [PMID: 36159007 PMCID: PMC9453759 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i31.4328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile acids play an important role in the amelioration of type 2 diabetes following duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB). Serum bile acids are elevated postoperatively. However, the clinical relevance is not known. Bile acids in the peripheral circulation reflect the amount of bile acids in the gut. Therefore, a further investigation of luminal bile acids following DJB is of great significance.
AIM To investigate changes of luminal bile acids following DJB.
METHODS Salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), DJB, and DJB with oral chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) supplementation were performed in a high-fat-diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model. Body weight, energy intake, oral glucose tolerance test, luminal bile acids, serum ceramides and intestinal ceramide synthesis were analyzed at week 12 postoperatively.
RESULTS Compared to SHAM, DJB achieved rapid and durable improvement in glucose tolerance and led to increased total luminal bile acid concentrations with preferentially increased proportion of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) - inhibitory bile acids within the common limb. Intestinal ceramide synthesis was repressed with decreased serum ceramides, and this phenomenon could be partially antagonized by luminal supplementation of FXR activating bile acid CDCA.
CONCLUSION DJB significantly changes luminal bile acid composition with increased proportion FXR-inhibitory bile acids and reduces serum ceramide levels. There observations suggest a novel mechanism of bile acids in metabolic regulation after DJB.

Abstract
Cholecystectomy has been reported to be associated with increased risk of diabetes in cross-sectional studies. In the current study, we performed both cross-sectional and prospective analyses to examine the association between cholecystectomy and dysglycaemia in Chinese community-dwelling adults. A total of 1612 participants (n = 1564 without cholecystectomy and n = 48 with cholecystectomy) were evaluated for glycaemic status (according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 1999 criteria) and then followed up over ~3.2 years. Percent changes (Δ) in fasting blood glucose and HbA1c from baseline at the follow-up visit were calculated to define glycaemic control as stable (-10% ≤ Δ < 10%), improved (Δ < -10%), or worsened (Δ ≥ 10%). The baseline cross-sectional analyses indicated that cholecystectomy was associated with an increased risk of both prediabetes and diabetes, while the prospective analysis indicated that cholecystectomy was also associated with a greater risk of deterioration in glycaemic control (ΔFPG ≥10% and ΔHbA1c ≥10%) (P < 0.05 for each, both before and after adjusting for potential confounding covariates). These observations suggest that individuals in the Chinese community-dwelling population who have undergone cholecystectomy are at increased risk of dysglycaemia. Further studies are warranted to both delineate the underlying mechanisms and to clarify whether more intense surveillance for future development of diabetes is needed in this group.

Serum bile acid response to oral glucose is attenuated in patients with early type 2 diabetes and correlates with 2-hour plasma glucose in individuals without diabetes. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:1132-1142.

Abstract
AIM To determine the serum bile acid (BA) response to 75-g oral glucose in individuals without diabetes, and whether this is attenuated in patients with 'early' type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related to the glycaemic response at 2 hours in either group. METHODS Forty newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve Han Chinese T2D subjects and 40 age-, gender-, and body mass index-matched controls without T2D ingested a 75-g glucose drink after an overnight fast. Plasma glucose and serum concentrations of total and individual BAs, fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19), total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and insulin, were measured before and 2 hours after oral glucose. RESULTS Fasting total BA levels were higher in T2D than control subjects (P < .05). At 2 hours, the BA profile exhibited a shift from baseline in both groups, with increases in conjugated BAs and/or decreases in unconjugated BAs. There were increases in total BA and FGF-19 levels in control (both P < .05), but not T2D, subjects. Plasma glucose concentrations at 2 hours related inversely to serum total BA levels in control subjects (r = -0.42, P = .006). Total GLP-1 and the insulin/glucose ratio were increased at 2 hours in both groups, and the magnitude of the increase was greater in control subjects. CONCLUSIONS The serum BA response to a 75-g oral glucose load is attenuated in patients with 'early' T2D, as is the secretion of FGF-19 and GLP-1, while in individuals without T2D it correlates with 2-hour plasma glucose levels. These observations support a role for BAs in the regulation of postprandial glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Bile acids are cholesterol-derived metabolites with a well-established role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fat. More recently, the discovery of bile acids as natural ligands for the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and membrane Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5), and the recognition of the effects of FXR and TGR5 signaling have led to a paradigm shift in knowledge regarding bile acid physiology and metabolic health. Bile acids are now recognized as signaling molecules that orchestrate blood glucose, lipid and energy metabolism. Changes in FXR and/or TGR5 signaling modulates the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY), hepatic gluconeogenesis, glycogen synthesis, energy expenditure, and the composition of the gut microbiome. These effects may contribute to the metabolic benefits of bile acid sequestrants, metformin, and bariatric surgery. This review focuses on the role of bile acids in energy intake and body weight, particularly their effects on gastrointestinal hormone secretion, the changes in obesity and T2D, and their potential relevance to the management of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Obesity has reached global epidemic proportions in recent decades. Bariatric surgery is currently accepted as most effective in alleviating morbid obesity and related disorders. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and adjustable gastric banding (AGB) have gained popularity since the beginning of this century because of their efficacy, safety, and simplicity. SG, in particular, has emerged as the most popular bariatric procedure because of its simpler concept and shorter operative time compared with gastric bypass. Caloric restriction, however, cannot account for the sustained weight loss and improved glucose metabolism seen following SG and AGB. Other mechanisms, including changes in gastrointestinal hormone secretion, rearrangement of hypothalamic and vagal control, alteration in energy expenditure, and re-regulation of bile acid metabolism and the intestinal flora environment, are thought to contribute to the postoperative benefits. This review focuses on clinical and experimental literature addressing the potential mechanisms for SG and AGB procedures in human and animal models. Understanding such mechanisms can provide important insight into how current gastric restrictive procedures work and how future treatments of obesity, both surgical and nonsurgical, can be developed.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been proved to be effective and sustainable in the long-term weight-loss and remission of metabolic disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms are still far from fully elucidated. After bariatric surgery, the gastrointestinal tract is manipulated, either anatomically or functionally, leading to changed bile acid metabolism. Accumulating evidence has shown that bile acids play a role in metabolic regulation as signaling molecules other than digestive juice. And most of the metabolism-beneficial effects are mediated through nuclear receptor FXR and membrane receptor TGR5, as well as reciprocal influence on gut microbiota. Bile diversion procedure is also performed on animals to recapitulate the benefits of bariatric surgery. It appears that bile acid alteration is an important component of bariatric surgery, and represents a promising target for the management of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile acids (BAs) are signaling molecules that participate in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Acute enteral infusion of BAs potently reduces the glycemic response to glucose, associated with an increase of incretin hormones. However, the effect of long-term supplementation of BAs on glucose metabolism has not been fully investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty diabetic rats were assigned to a control group (n=10), a low TCA group (L-TCA group, n=10), and a high TCA group (H-TCA group, n=10). Rats in the control group were fed a regular high-fat diet (HFD), while rats in the L-TCA group and H-TCA group were fed a TCA (taurocholic acid)-mixed HFD with the concentrations of 0.05% and 0.3%, respectively, to control the intake of HFD and TCA. Energy intake, body weight, serum insulin, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, GLP-1, and total serum BAs were measured at week 2 and week 12. RESULTS At week 2 there were no significant differences in body weight, daily energy intake, glucose tolerance, serum insulin, insulin sensitivity, GLP-1, or fasting total serum BAs between the 3 groups. At week 12, fasting blood glucose and intragastric glucose tolerance were better in the H-TCA group, with significantly greater insulin and GLP-1 secretion and better insulin sensitivity; no significant differences in body weight, energy intake, or total fasting serum BAs were observed. CONCLUSIONS Long-term supplementation with small doses of TCA was demonstrated to improve glucose metabolism in a diabetic rat model and may be a potential target for diabetes control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exclusion of the proximal gut from nutrient absorption entails significant metabolic benefits. The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is the first endoscopic device that excludes the first part of the gut by covering it. OBJECTIVES To assess weight and glycemic control at the end of treatment and after 1 year of follow-up. SETTING Bariatric endoscopy service in a tertiary medical center. METHODS Diabetic patients were treated with DJBL and followed prospectively between 2013 and 2016. Data were collected during scheduled visits. RESULTS Out of 51 patients treated, 39 completed at least 9 months with the device. Complications were recorded for the entire cohort. Percent of total weight loss was 15.05% ± 6.0% after 12 months of treatment (P < .001 versus baseline). Twelve months postretrieval, percent of total weight loss decreased to 8.75% ± 5.07% (P < .001 versus baseline). Patients with baseline body mass index ≥35 kg/m2 experienced greater percent total weight loss changes over time (P < .001). There was a significant effect on hemoglobin A1C levels over time (P = .003), and the nadir was reached at 9 months of treatment (median 6.05% versus 7.20% at baseline, P < .001). Insulin users had consistently higher median hemoglobin A1C values compared with insulin nonusers (P < .001). Adverse events were experienced by 12 of 51 patients (23.5%), of which 4 cases (7.8%) were severe. CONCLUSIONS Proximal bowel bypass by DJBL is an effective tool for weight reduction and glycemic control. Metabolic achievements are partially preserved at 1 year after device removal. Because DJBL entails a considerable rate of side effects, strategies to mitigate them are warranted.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery, specifically Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), are the most effective and durable treatments for morbid obesity and potentially a viable treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The resolution rate of T2D following these procedures is between 40 and 80% and far surpasses that achieved by medical management alone. The molecular basis for this improvement is not entirely understood, but has been attributed in part to the altered enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. In this review we highlight how bile acids potentially contribute to improved lipid and glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure after these procedures. The impact of altered bile acid levels in enterohepatic circulation is also associated with changes in gut microflora, which may further contribute to some of these beneficial effects. We highlight the beneficial effects of experimental surgical procedures in rodents that alter bile secretory flow without gastric restriction or altering nutrient flow. This information suggests a role for bile acids beyond dietary fat emulsification in altering whole body glucose and lipid metabolism strongly, and also suggests emerging roles for the activation of the bile acid receptors farnesoid x receptor (FXR) and G-protein coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) in these improvements. The limitations of rodent studies and the current state of our understanding is reviewed and the potential effects of bile acids mediating the short- and long-term metabolic improvements after bariatric surgery is critically examined.

Metformin is established as the first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but its mode of action remains elusive. Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the anti-diabetic action of metformin may have the potential to optimise its glucose-lowering efficacy and lead to the development of agents acting on novel targets for the management of type 2 diabetes. Areas covered: This review highlights key pharmacokinetic features of metformin, summarises recent insights into its hepatic and gastrointestinal actions relevant to blood glucose homeostasis, and discusses the common gastrointestinal side effects of metformin. Literature concerning these areas was reviewed on PubMed. Expert commentary: The mechanisms by which metformin improves glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes are complex. Although novel hepatic pathways continue to be reported in preclinical studies, there is a lack of human evidence for most of these. Considering the fundamental role of the gastrointestinal tract in the regulation of blood glucose homeostasis and pleiotropic actions of metformin on several gastrointestinal targets relevant to glycaemic control, the gut is likely to represent at least as important a site of metformin action as the liver in the management of type 2 diabetes.
