Circulating carotenoid concentrations may interact with several omics profiles including genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. Few studies have used multi-omics approaches, and they rarely include environmental factors, such as diet. Objective: The objective of this observational study was to examine the potential role of multi-omics data in the interconnection between diet, represented by total carotenoids, and lipid profile using weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA). Methods: Blood leukocyte DNA methylation levels of 472,245 CpG sites and whole blood gene expression levels of 18,160 transcripts were tested for associations with total carotenoid concentrations using regressions in 48 healthy subjects. WGCNA was used to identify co-omics modules and hub genes related to the lipid profile. Results: Among genes associated with total carotenoid concentrations, a total of 236 genes were identified at both DNA methylation and gene expression levels. Using WGCNA, six modules, consisting of groups of highly correlated genes represented by colors, were identified and linked to the lipid profile. Probes clustered in the turquoise and green modules correlated with plasma lipid concentrations. A total of 28 hub genes were identified. Conclusions: Genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression levels were both associated with plasma total carotenoid concentrations. Several hub genes, mostly involved in lipid metabolism and inflammatory response with several genetic variants associated with plasma lipid concentrations, came out of the integrative analysis. This provides a comprehensive understanding of the interactive molecular system between carotenoids, omics, and plasma lipid profile.","PeriodicalId":18030,"journal":{"name":"Lifestyle Genomics","volume":"13 1","pages":"11 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2019-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000503828","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42598173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: Our aim was to analyze the effects of ADIPOQ gene polymorphism rs266729 on metabolic changes after two different amounts of dietary fat in two hypocaloric diets. Design: A population of 283 obese patients was recruited in a randomized clinical trial with two diets: Diet HF (high-fat diet: 38% carbohydrates, 24% proteins, and 38% fats) versus Diet LF (low-fat diet: 53% carbohydrates, 20% proteins, and 27% fats). Before and after 3 months, an anthropometric evaluation, an assessment of nutritional intake, and a biochemical analysis were carried out. The variant of the ADIPOQgene was assessed by real-time PCR. Results: Weight loss was similar with both diets in both genotypes (CC vs. CG+GG). After dietary intervention with Diet HF, only subjects with CC genotype showed a significant improvement in insulin levels (–3.3 ± 0.6 vs. –1.8 ± 0.9 mU/L; p = 0.03) and the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (–1.3 ± 0.1 vs. –0.8 ± 0.2 units; p = 0.02). After Diet LF, subjects with CC genotype showed a significant improvement in total cholesterol levels (CC vs. CG+GG) (–15.3 ± 1.4 vs. –6.4 ± 1.3 mg/dL; p = 0.01), LDL cholesterol (–14.6 ± 1.8 vs. –6.4 ± 1.3 mg/dL; p = 0.01), insulin levels (–4.6 ± 1.0 vs. –1.6 ± 0.5 mU/L; p = 0.01), and HOMA-IR (–1.6 ± 0.1 vs. –1.0 ± 0.2 units; p = 0.02).

Regular physical activity can improve health, and there is consistent evidence that these improvements may be the result of epigenetic modifications. Objective: To identify epigenetic modificationsas outcomes of exercise interventions related to specific metabolic alterations. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) methodology for manuscript research and preparation was followed using PubMed and EBSCO databases for literature review. Out of 2,638 articles identified, only 34 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: The sections of the review were organized by metabolic alterations in which studies were grouped according to healthy, diseased, and trained individuals. Resistance exercise in humans induced epigenetic changes in pathways associated with energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity, contributing to healthy skeletal muscle. Endurance exercise also caused modifications in biomarkers associated to metabolic alterations through changes in DNA methylation and the expression of specific miRNAs. However, both resistance and endurance exercise are necessary to obtain a better physiological adaptation and a combination of both seems to be needed to properly tackle the increasing prevalence of non-communicable pathologies. Conclusion: Given the heterogeneity and complexity of the existing literature, it is currently not possible to propose a specific recommendation about the type, intensity, or duration of exercise that could be beneficial for different subsets of the population (healthy, diseased, and/or trained). Nevertheless, this review highlights the importance of exercise for health and shows the need to perform more research in this emerging area to identify epigenetic biomarkers that could serve as indicators of exercise adaptations.","PeriodicalId":18030,"journal":{"name":"Lifestyle Genomics","volume":"12 1","pages":"25 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2019-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000503289","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42980300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PNPLA3 protein functions as an intracellular lipase in the liver, with a greater activity on unsaturated fatty acids. This study aimed to determine whether short-term supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids impacts hepatic steatosis differently in PNPLA3 p.148I wild-type individuals as compared to homozygous carriers of the PNPLA3 p.148M variant. Methods: Twenty subjects with hepatic steatosis (50% women, age 18–77 years) were included. Ten subjects homozygous for the PNPLA3 148M variant were matched to 10 wild-type individuals. The subjects received 4 g omega-3 fatty acids (1,840 mg eicosapentaenoic acid and 1,520 mg docosahexaenoic acid) a day for 4 weeks. Transient elastography with a controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) was used to quantify liver fat before and after the intervention. Body composition, fibrosis, liver function tests, serum free fatty acids (FFA) and glucose markers were compared. Results: Patients homozygous for the PNPLA3 p.148M variant (risk group) demonstrated no significant changes in CAP compared to baseline (284 ± 55 vs. 287 ± 65 dB/m) as did the control group (256 ± 56 vs. 262 ± 55 dB/m). While serum liver enzyme activities remained unchanged in both groups, the risk group displayed significantly (p = 0.02) lower baseline FFA concentrations (334.5 [range 281.0–431.0] vs. 564.5 [range 509.0–682.0] μmol/L), which markedly increased by 9.1% after the intervention. In contrast, FFA concentrations decreased significantly (p = 0.01) by 28.3% in the wild-type group. Conclusions: Short-term omega-3 fatty acid supplementation did not significantly alter hepatic steatosis. The nutrigenomic and metabolic effects of omega-3 fatty acids should be investigated further in carriers of the PNPLA3 148M risk variant.","PeriodicalId":18030,"journal":{"name":"Lifestyle Genomics","volume":"12 1","pages":"10 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000502008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42991143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MetS has been linked to lactose intolerance (LI). The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity to detect LI using 2 different tests: (1) a genetic test and (2) an oral lactose tolerance test (OLTT). Methods: Two hundred and fifty-four MetS patients, ≥20 years of age, of both genders, were recruited for this comparative study. Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected for genetic investigation: rs182549and rs4988235(both considered “gold standard”); rs56064699; rs148142676; rs562211644; rs59533246; rs3754689; rs2278544,and rs10552864(as potential novel SNPs). Sensitivity and specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive values, were calculated for each genotype using WINPEPI version 11.65. Differences between positive and negative OLTT groups were considered statistically significant when p ≤ 0.05. Results: Among the selected SNPs, only rs182549(p < 0.001) and rs4988235(p < 0.001) gave similar results compared to an OLTT. The sensitivity of both SNPs to detect LI was 87 and 86%, and specificity was 83 and 82.5%, respectively. Conclusion: Genetic tests using rs182549and rs4988235SNPs showed high agreement with OLTT.
