Marginal Zinc Deficiency and Environmentally Relevant Concentrations of Arsenic Elicit Combined Effects on the Gut Microbiome. mSphere 2018; 3:e00521-18. [PMID: 30518676 PMCID: PMC6282007 DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00521-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2018] [Accepted: 10/30/2018] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Extensive research shows that dietary variation and toxicant exposure impact the gut microbiome, yielding effects on host physiology. However, prior work has mostly considered such exposure-microbiome interactions through the lens of single-factor exposures. In practice, humans exposed to toxicants vary in their dietary nutritional status, and this variation may impact subsequent exposure of the gut microbiome. For example, chronic arsenic exposure affects 200 million people globally and is often comorbid with zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency can enhance arsenic toxicity, but it remains unknown how zinc status impacts the gut microbiome's response to arsenic exposure and whether this response links to host toxicity. Using 16S amplicon sequencing, we examined the combinatorial effects of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of arsenic on the composition of the microbiome in C57BL/6 mice fed diets varying in zinc concentration. Arsenic exposure and marginal zinc deficiency independently altered microbiome diversity. When combined, their effects on microbiome community structure were amplified. Generalized linear models identified microbial taxa whose relative abundance in the gut was perturbed by zinc deficiency, arsenic, or their interaction. Further, we correlated taxonomic abundances with host DNA damage, adiponectin expression, and plasma zinc concentration to identify taxa that may mediate host physiological responses to arsenic exposure or zinc deficiency. Arsenic exposure and zinc restriction also result in increased DNA damage and decreased plasma zinc. These physiological changes are associated with the relative abundance of several gut taxa. These data indicate that marginal zinc deficiency sensitizes the microbiome to arsenic exposure and that the microbiome associates with some toxicological effects of arsenic.IMPORTANCE Xenobiotic compounds, such as arsenic, have the potential to alter the composition and functioning of the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome may also interact with these compounds to mediate their impact on the host. However, little is known about how dietary variation may reshape how the microbiome responds to xenobiotic exposures or how these modified responses may in turn impact host physiology. Here, we investigated the combinatorial effects of marginal zinc deficiency and physiologically relevant concentrations of arsenic on the microbiome. Both zinc deficiency and arsenic exposure were individually associated with altered microbial diversity and when combined elicited synergistic effects. Microbial abundance also covaried with host physiological changes, indicating that the microbiome may contribute to or be influenced by these pathologies. Collectively, this work demonstrates that dietary zinc intake influences the sensitivity of the microbiome to subsequent arsenic exposure.

Abstract
The burden of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases is increasing with every year. Although the management of these conditions has improved greatly over the years, it is still far from perfect. With all of this in mind, there is a need for new methods of prophylaxis and treatment. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential compound of the human body. There is growing evidence that CoQ10 is tightly linked to cardiometabolic disorders. Its supplementation can be useful in a variety of chronic and acute disorders. This review analyses the role of CoQ10 in hypertension, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, viral myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, cardiac toxicity, dyslipidemia, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiac procedures and resuscitation.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle wasting is a common complication of chronic heart failure (CHF) and linked to poor patient prognosis. In recent years, adiponectin was postulated to be centrally involved in CHF-associated metabolic failure and muscle wasting. This review discusses current knowledge on the role of adiponectin in CHF. Particular emphasis will be given to the complex interaction mechanisms and the intracellular pathways underlying adiponectin resistance in skeletal muscle of CHF patients. In this review, we propose that the resistance process is multifactorial, integrating abnormalities emanating from insulin signalling, mitochondrial biogenesis, and ceramide metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress may play an important role in the development of myocarditis. We investigated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a potent antioxidant, on experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS A rat model of porcine myosin-induced EAM was used. After the immunization with myosin, NAC (20 mg/kg/d) or saline was injected intraperitoneally on days 1 to 21. Additional myosin-immunized rats treated with NAC were orally given 25 mg/kg/d of N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methylester (l-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, and N(G)-nitro-d-arginine methylester (d-NAME), an inactive enantiomer. The NAC treatment improved cardiac pathology associated with reduced superoxide production. In the EAM rats treated with NAC associated with oral l-NAME, but not with oral d-NAME, the severity of myocarditis was not reduced. Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 was reduced by NAC treatment. Myocardial c-kit(+) cells were demonstrated only in the NAC-treated group. Hemodynamic study showed that the increased left ventricular mass produced by myocardial inflammation tended to be reduced by NAC treatment. CONCLUSION Treatment with NAC ameliorated myocardial injury via NO system in a rat model of myocarditis.

Adiponectin, leptin, and chemerin in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a close linkage with obesity and length of the disease. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:701915.

Abstract
Obesity, insulin resistance, and aging are closely associated and adipokines seem to have a crucial role in their pathophysiology. We aim to study the relationship between aging and chemerin, adiponectin, and leptin levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Age correlated positively with chemerin and leptin and inversely with adiponectin. Body mass index (BMI) correlated positively with leptin (in males) and chemerin and inversely with adiponectin. The patients with ≥65 years (n = 34) showed significantly higher leptin and chemerin and lower adiponectin levels than middle-aged (38–64 years) patients (n = 39) and controls (n = 20). After statistical adjustment for length of disease, there was a loss of significance, between T2DM groups, for adiponectin and, in female, for leptin. In the older group, BMI correlated with adiponectin and with leptin, but not with chemerin.
Adiponectin and leptin levels in elderly T2DM patients seem to be closely linked to obesity and to length of the disease. In elderly T2DM patients, chemerin concentrations are increased and seem to be independent of length of disease and BMI, suggesting that adipocyte dysfunction is enhanced with aging. The understanding of the glucose homeostasis impairment in the elderly is mandatory in order to achieve ways to improve their quality of life and longevity.

Adipokines, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, and C-reactive protein levels in lean, overweight, and obese portuguese patients with type 2 diabetes. ISRN OBESITY 2013; 2013:142097.

Abstract
Aim. Our aim was to study how different BMI scores may influence the levels of inflammation, oxidative stress, adipogenesis, glucose, and lipid metabolism, in lean, overweight, and obese Portuguese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods. We studied 28 lean, 38 overweight, and 17 obese patients with T2DM and 20 controls (gender and age matched). The circulating levels of oxLDL, CRP, and some adipokines—adiponectin, leptin, and chemerin—and the lipid profile were evaluated. Results. Obese patients presented significantly lower levels of adiponectin and higher leptin, oxLDL, and chemerin levels, as compared to the overweight, lean, and control groups. Overweight, compared to lean and control, subjects showed significantly lower adiponectin and higher leptin and chemerin levels; oxLDL values were significantly higher in overweight than in lean patients. Lean patients presented significantly higher chemerin values than the control. Obese patients presented significantly higher CRP values, as compared to lean patients and the control group. Obese and overweight patients presented significantly higher triglycerides values than lean patients. Except for CRP, all the observed significant changes between control and patients remained significant after statistical adjustment for the body mass index (BMI). Conclusion. The levels of leptin, adiponectin, oxLDL, CRP, and triglycerides in patients with T2DM seem to be more associated with obesity and less with diabetes. Chemerin levels were raised in lean, overweight, and obese patients, suggesting that, independently of BMI, an adipocyte dysfunction occurs. Moreover, chemerin may provide an important early biomarker of adipocyte dysfunction and a link between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may act as an atheroprotective (anti-atherosclerotic) agent under some conditions. While the α1-antitrypsin (AT)-LDL complex is considered a type of oxidized LDL, its clinical relevance remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between AT-LDL and anti-atherosclerotic variables such as HDL-cholesterol and adiponectin in subjects with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods In asymptomatic females (n = 194; mean age, 54 years) who were divided into non-MetS (n = 108) and MetS groups (n = 86), the fasting levels of serum AT-LDL, adiponectin and glucose/lipid panels were measured, in addition to body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure. Results The MetS group showed significantly higher BMI, blood pressure, glucose and triglyceride levels as well as significantly lower levels of HDL-cholesterol and adiponectin than the non-MetS group. A multivariate-adjusted analysis revealed that in the non-MetS group, AT-LDL was significantly, independently and positively correlated with adiponectin (β = 0.297, P < 0.05), along with HDL-cholesterol (β = 0.217, P < 0.05). In the MetS group, AT-LDL was significantly, independently and positively correlated with LDL-cholesterol only (β = 0.342, P < 0.05). Conclusions These data suggest that AT-LDL may exert anti-atherosclerotic effects in female subjects without MetS. More studies are required to clarify the clinical roles of AT-LDL in relation to the pathophysiology of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriatic patients present with an increased frequency of cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVE To study the impact of psoriasis duration and therapy on traditional and new cardiovascular risk factors. STUDY DESIGN A longitudinal study performed between 2005 and the first trimester of 2008. Each patient was followed up for 12 weeks, and was observed before and 3, 6, and 12 weeks after starting therapy. SETTING Patients attending the Dermatology Service, University Hospital of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal were enrolled. SUBJECTS Thirty-four patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 37 healthy volunteers as controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI); lipid profile, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), oxLDL/low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total antioxidant status, lipid peroxidation, C-reactive protein (CRP), and circulating levels of adiponectin. INTERVENTION Ten patients started therapy with topical treatment, 11 with narrow-band UVB radiation (NB-UVB), and 13 with psolaren plus UVA (PUVA). RESULTS Before starting therapy, psoriatic patients presented with several risk changes in their lipid profiles, and significantly higher CRP, oxLDL, and oxLDL/LDL, and lower adiponectin levels (vs control subjects), which may further contribute to inflammation and atherogenesis. After treatment of the patients, although no significant differences were observed in the lipid profile compared with baseline, some changes suggested that the treatment could somehow alter lipid metabolism, as the reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A and the increase in the atherogenic index cholesterol/HDL-C maintained an even higher significance (as shown by p-values) when compared with the control group. After topical therapy, there was a significant reduction in thiobarbituric acid reactivity only, suggesting that the reduction in the hyperproliferative process within the lesions is important for lipid peroxidation. After NB-UVB therapy, oxLDL/LDL, cholesterol/HDL-C, lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], and CRP remained higher than in the control subjects, reflecting persistent inflammation and atherogenic risk. After PUVA treatment, there was a significant reduction in Lp(a), associated with an almost significant increase in apolipoprotein-B (p = 0.054); these changes were not observed after NB-UVB treatment. However, after PUVA and NB-UVB treatment, CRP and, in the NB-UVB group, oxLDL/LDL were persistently higher than controls. CONCLUSION Our data show that psoriatic patients present with several lipid profile changes that seem to be related to the severity of the disease and/or the treatment used. Mild psoriasis patients receiving topical treatment presented before starting therapy with a lipid profile similar to controls, whereas those undergoing NB-UVB and PUVA, who had higher PASI scores, presented with several risk factors. Moreover, PUVA therapy seems to interact in a different way with lipids that might result from an interaction of psoralen with plasma lipids, namely Lp(a). Inflammation, a hallmark of psoriasis, also seems to be related to psoriasis severity. Both NB-UVB and PUVA were effective, as shown by the reduction in PASI score, as well as in the oxidative and inflammatory stress markers. However, after NB-UVB and PUVA, a low-grade inflammatory process still persisted, which might be related to the duration of remission of the disease.

Abstract
Plasma adiponectin is inversely associated with the risk of coronary heart disease in healthy people. However, adiponectin and BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) are both known to be positively associated with a risk of poor outcome, and with each other, in ACS (acute coronary syndrome) patients. Serial changes in plasma adiponectin and BNP following ACS have not been assessed previously, and may clarify these apparently paradoxical associations. In the present study, adiponectin, BNP, classical risk markers and clinical parameters were measured in plasma from 442 consecutive ACS patients in an urban teaching hospital, with repeat measures at 7 weeks (n=338). Patients were followed-up for 10 months. Poor outcome was defined as mortality or readmission for ACS or congestive heart failure (n=90). In unadjusted analysis, the change in adiponectin (but not baseline or 7-week adiponectin) was significantly associated with the risk of an adverse outcome {odds ratio (OR), 5.42 [95% CI (confidence interval), 2.78-10.55]}. This association persisted after adjusting for classical risk factors and clinical markers, but was fully attenuated by adjusting for the 7-week BNP measurement [OR, 1.13 (95% CI, 0.27-4.92)], which itself remained associated with risk [OR, 5.86 (95% CI, 1.04-32.94)]. Adiponectin and BNP positively correlated at baseline and 7 weeks, and the change in both parameters over 7 weeks also correlated (r=0.39, P<0.001). In conclusion, increases in plasma adiponectin (rather than absolute levels) after ACS are related to the risk of an adverse outcome, but this relationship is not independent of BNP levels. The results of the present study allude to a potential direct or indirect relationship between adiponectin and BNP post-ACS which requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It was reported previously that 30 min administration of adrenomedullin (AM) improves hemodynamics in chronic stable heart failure patients. The present study was designed to examine whether long-term AM + human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) administration can be used as a therapeutic drug in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in clinical setting. METHODS AND RESULTS Seven acute heart failure patients (74 +/- 5 years) with dyspnea and pulmonary congestion were studied. AM (0.02 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) + hANP (0.05 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was infused for 12 h and then hANP (0.05 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was infused for 12 h. Hemodynamic, renal, hormonal and oxidative stress responses were evaluated. AM + hANP significantly reduced mean arterial pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure and systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance without changing heart rate, and increased cardiac output for most time-points compared with those at baseline. In addition, AM + hANP reduced aldosterone, brain natriuretic peptide and free-radical metabolites compared with those at baseline (all P<0.05). AM + hANP increased urine volume and U(Na)V compared with baseline data. CONCLUSIONS In this small, pilot trial, AM + hANP therapy had beneficial hemodynamic and hormonal effects in ADHF. Intravenous infusion of AM with hANP could be used as a therapeutic drug in ADHF. These data are preliminary and require confirmation in a larger clinical study.
