RESUMEN
AIMS: Metabolic disease is a multifaceted condition characterized by the disruption of numerous metabolic parameters within the host. Its prevalence has surged significantly in recent years and it has become a prominent non-communicable disease worldwide. The effect of gut microbiota on various beige fat induction is well studied, while the mechanisms behind the link remain unclear. Given that gut microbiota-derived metabolites (meta-metabolites) secreted in the gut serve as a key mode of communication with their host through direct circulation or indirect host physiology modification, understanding the effect of meta-metabolites on adipose tissue is essential. METHODOLOGY: In our previous in-vivo studies, we observed a correlation between gut microbiota and the formation of beige fat. In this study, we further aimed to validate this correlation by treating the adipocyte cell line (3T3-L1) with meta-metabolites collected from the cecum of mice exhibiting beige adipose tissue formation. Additionally, we treated the adipocyte cell line with known beige fat inducers (L-Rhamnose and Ginsenoside) to assess meta-metabolites' efficacy on beige fat formation. KEY FINDINGS: Upon treatment with the meta-metabolites from the antibiotic-treated mice, we observed a significant increase in lipid metabolism and beige-specific gene expression. Analyzing the metabolites in these cells revealed that a set of metabolites potentially govern adipocytes, contributing to a metabolically active state. These effects were at par or even better than those of cells treated with L-Rhamnose or Ginsenoside. SIGNIFICANCE: This research sheds light on the intricate interplay between microbial metabolites and adipose tissue, offering valuable clues for understanding and potentially manipulating these processes for therapeutic purposes.
RESUMEN
AIMS: The use of antibiotics affects health. The gut microbial dysbiosis by antibiotics is thought to be an essential pathway to influence health. It is important to have optimized energy utilization, in which adipose tissues (AT) play crucial roles in maintaining health. Adipocytes regulate the balance between energy expenditure and storage. While it is known that white adipose tissue (WAT) stores energy and brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces energy by thermogenesis, the role of an intermediate AT plays an important role in balancing host internal energy. In the current study, we tried to understand how treating an antibiotic cocktail transforms WAT into BAT or, more precisely, into beige adipose tissue (BeAT). METHODS: Since antibiotic treatment perturbs the host microbiota, we wanted to understand the role of gut microbial dysbiosis in transforming WAT into BeAT in C57BL/6 mice. We further correlated the metabolic profile at the systemic level with this BeAT transformation and gut microbiota profile. KEY FINDINGS: In the present study, we have reported that the antibiotic cocktail treatment increases the Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria while reducing the Bacteroidetes phylum. We observed that prolonged antibiotic treatment could induce the formation of BeAT in the inguinal and perigonadal AT. The correlation analysis showed an association between the gut microbiota phyla, beige adipose tissue markers, and serum metabolites. SIGNIFICANCE: Our study revealed that the gut microbiota has a significant role in regulating the metabolic health of the host via microbiota-adipose axis communication.

Obesity is a complex health condition that increases the susceptibility to developing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and numerous other metabolic health issues. The effect of obesity is not just limited to the conditions mentioned above; it is also seen to have a profound impact on the patient's mental state, leading to the onset of various mental disorders, particularly mood disorders. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the mechanism underlying the crosstalk between obesity and mental disorders. The gut microbiota is vital in regulating and maintaining host physiology, including metabolism and neuronal circuits. Because of this newly developed understanding of gut microbiota role, here we evaluated the published diverse information to summarize the achievement in the field. In this review, we gave an overview of the association between obesity, mental disorders, and the role of gut microbiota there. Further new guidelines and experimental tools are necessary to understand the microbial contribution to regulate a balanced healthy life.
