Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP) surgery is an effective treatment for reducing body weight and correcting metabolic dysfunction in individuals with severe obesity. Herein, we characterize the differences between very low energy diet (VLED) and GBP induced weight loss by multi-omic analyses of microbiome and host features in a non-randomized, controlled, single-center study. Eighty-eight participants with severe obesity were recruited into two arms – GBP versus VLED with matching weight loss for 6 weeks and 2-years of follow-up. A dramatic shift in the distribution of gut microbial taxa and their functional capacity was seen in the GBP group at Week 2 after surgery and was sustained through 2 years. Multi-omic analyses were performed after 6 weeks of matching weight loss between the GBP and VLED groups, which pointed to microbiome derived metabolites such as indoxyl sulphate as characterizing the GBP group. We also identified an inverse association between Streptococcus parasanguinis (an oral commensal) and plasma levels of tryptophan and tyrosine. These data have important implications, as they reveal a significant robust restructuring of the microbiome away from a baseline dysbiotic state in the GBP group. Furthermore, multi-omics modelling points to potentially novel mechanistic insights at the intersection of the microbiome and host.
期刊介绍:
Mucosal Immunology, the official publication of the Society of Mucosal Immunology (SMI), serves as a forum for both basic and clinical scientists to discuss immunity and inflammation involving mucosal tissues. It covers gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nasopharyngeal, oral, ocular, and genitourinary immunology through original research articles, scholarly reviews, commentaries, editorials, and letters. The journal gives equal consideration to basic, translational, and clinical studies and also serves as a primary communication channel for the SMI governing board and its members, featuring society news, meeting announcements, policy discussions, and job/training opportunities advertisements.
