Transcriptional Integration of Distinct Microbial and Nutritional Signals by the Small Intestinal Epithelium

Colin R. Lickwar et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the combination of microbiota and high-fat diet may suppress the expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha, leading to the preferential activation of intestinal epithelial cell proliferation programs, which in turn affects intestinal lipid absorption, epithelial cell renewal, and systemic energy balance.

Transcriptional programmes underlying cellular identity and microbial responsiveness in the intestinal epithelium

Jennifer K. Heppert et al.

Summary: The diverse identities and responsiveness of intestinal epithelial cells are achieved through transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, involving DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, and transcription factors. Transcription factors involved in determining intestinal epithelial identity also respond to changes in the microbiota, revealing complex integrative transcriptional regulatory networks. Transcriptional regulatory mechanisms play a dual role in specifying intestinal epithelial identity and enabling microbial responsiveness.

Enteroendocrine cells sense bacterial tryptophan catabolites to activate enteric and vagal neuronal pathways

Lihua Ye et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that epithelial sensory enteroendocrine cells (EEC) in the intestinal epithelium can sense and respond to microbial stimuli through the Trpa1 receptor, leading to activation of vagal neuronal pathways and increased intestinal motility. Furthermore, indole derivatives of tryptophan catabolism also play a role in this process by activating Trpa1 signaling and stimulating intestinal serotonin secretion.

Nuclear Receptors and Development of Marine Invertebrates

Angelica Miglioli et al.

Summary: Nuclear Receptors (NRs) are transcription factors specific to metazoans that directly translate signaling molecule information. They play crucial roles in vertebrate and marine invertebrate development. Marine invertebrates are important for understanding NR superfamily evolution and ancestral states of NR-ligand interactions.

The nuclear receptor HNF4 drives a brush border gene program conserved across murine intestine, kidney, and embryonic yolk sac

Lei Chen et al.

Summary: The brush border is a specialized structure on the apical surface of epithelia that greatly increases absorptive surface area, but the transcriptional regulatory networks controlling brush border genes are not fully understood. This study identifies HNF4 as a conserved regulator of the brush border gene program in multiple organs, such as intestine, kidney, and yolk sac, and reveals its role in chromatin looping between promoters and enhancers in the intestine.

Liver fat storage is controlled by HNF4α through induction of lipophagy and is reversed by a potent HNF4α agonist

Seung-Hee Lee et al.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of potent HNF4 alpha agonists and reveals a novel pathway by which HNF4 alpha controls fat storage in the liver. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the activators NCT and NFT can induce fat clearance, while in DIO mice, NCT led to recovery of hepatic HNF4 alpha expression and reduction of steatosis, suggesting NCT as a potential therapeutic for NAFLD.

Fxr signaling and microbial metabolism of bile salts in the zebrafish intestine

Jia Wen et al.

Summary: Key components of hepatic bile salt synthesis and ileal transport pathways in zebrafish are conserved and controlled by Fxr. Zebrafish bile salts primarily consist of a C-27 bile alcohol and a C-24 bile acid, which undergo microbial modifications. Fxr plays significant roles in transcriptional and differentiation programs in zebrafish intestinal epithelium.
