Characterization of the gut-bone marrow axis through bile acid signaling

Communication between the intestine and other organs such as the lungs, brain or bones is mediated by several metabolites, like short-chain fatty acids or bile acids, that relay information about nutritional and microbiota status. Bile acids are endogenous ...

Structural basis of bile salt extrusion and small-molecule inhibition in human BSEP

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni

BSEP (ABCB11) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that is expressed in hepatocytes and extrudes bile salts into the canaliculi of the liver. BSEP dysfunction, caused by mutations or induced by drugs, is frequently associated with severe cholestatic live ...

Short Article Hypothalamic bile acid-TGR5 signaling protects from obesity

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino

Bile acids (BAs) improve metabolism and exert anti-obesity effects through the activation of the Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) in peripheral tissues. TGR5 is also found in the brain hypothalamus, but whether hypothalamic BA signaling is implic ...

Molecular physiology of bile acid signaling in health, disease, and aging

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Laura Alejandra Velazquez Villegas

Over the last two decades, bile acids (BAs) have become established as important signaling molecules that enable fine-tuned inter-tissue communication from the liver, their site of production, over the intestine, where they are modified by the gut microbio ...

Dietary Fiber Is Essential to Maintain Intestinal Size, L-Cell Secretion, and Intestinal Integrity in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Dietary fiber has been linked to improved gut health, yet the mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. One proposed mechanism is through its influence on the secretion of gut hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gluca ...

Emerging functions of the nuclear receptor LRH-1 in liver physiology and pathology

Kristina Schoonjans, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Yu Sun

Nuclear receptors play pleiotropic roles in cell differentiation, development, proliferation, and metabolic processes to govern liver physiology and pathology. The nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1, NR5A2), originally identified in the live ...

Obesity-associated deficits in inhibitory control are phenocopied to mice through gut microbiota changes in one-carbon and aromatic amino acids metabolic pathways

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

Background Inhibitory control (IC) is critical to keep long-term goals in everyday life. Bidirectional relationships between IC deficits and obesity are behind unhealthy eating and physical exercise habits. ...

Biogeography and biochemistry of bile acid 7-dehydroxylation in the mammalian gut

Solenne Anne Marie Marion

Bile acids (BAs) are small molecules synthesized by the host and chemically modified by the microorganisms inhabiting the intestinal tract. The microbial transformation of BAs in the gut is critical to BA-mediated signaling as it modifies their amount and ...

Bile Acids Signal via TGR5 to Activate Intestinal Stem Cells and Epithelial Regeneration

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Giovanni Sorrentino, Ece Yildiz, Gaby El Alam

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Renewal and patterning of the intestinal epithelium is coordinated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs); dietary and metabolic factors provide signals to the niche that control ISC activity. Bile acids (BAs), metabolites in the gut, signal nu ...

Maternal glucose homeostasis is impaired in mouse models of gestational cholestasis

Kristina Schoonjans

Women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a disorder characterised by raised serum bile acids, are at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus and have impaired glucose tolerance whilst cholestatic. FXR and TGR5 are modulato ...
