The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly worldwide, and it is closely related to diet and gut microbiota. Maternal emulsifier polysorbate 80 (P80) exposure in early life can lead to impaired intestinal development, barrier dysfunction, and increased low-grade inflammation in offspring, as well as gut dysbiosis. Offspring exposed to maternal P80 are more susceptible to gut dysbiosis and obesity after a high-fat diet, accompanied by alterations in bile acid composition and up-regulation of the FXR-FGF15 axis.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly around the world, and there is growing evidence that obesity is closely related to diet and gut microbiota. Early life adverse exposures have profound effects on gut microbiota. However, the effects of maternal emulsifier polysorbate 80 (P80) exposure in early life on obesity of offspring remains unclear. Female C57BL/6 mice were free access to water containing 1 % P80 during pregnancy and lactation to investigate the effects of maternal P80 exposure on gut microbiota and obesity susceptibility of offspring, while bile acid composition and the FGF15-FXR axis were also analyzed. Maternal P80 exposure significantly impaired intestinal development and barrier function and increased intestinal low-grade inflam-mation in offspring mice. Maternal P80 exposure led to gut dysbiosis in offspring at 3 weeks of age, which was characterized by increased potentially harmful bacteria, Prevotella, Helicobacter and Ruminococcus and Mucin degrading bacteria, Akkermansia. Interestingly, mice transplanted with the fecal microbiota of offspring exposed to maternal P80 showed more serious intestinal barrier impairment and increased low-grade inflammation than that received microbiota of offspring fed with normal diet. After a high-fat diet, Maternal P80 exposed offspring showed more severe in gut dysbiosis and obesity, accompanied by alternation in bile acid profile and up regu-lation of the FXR-FGF15 axis. Conclusively, early life emulsifier exposure predisposes the offspring to obesity through gut microbiota-FXR axis. The findings will provide new insights into effects of P80 on health.
