Clostridium scindens: history and current outlook for a keystone species in the mammalian gut involved in bile acid and steroid metabolism.

Clostridium scindens is a keystone bacterial species in the mammalian gut that, while low in abundance, has a significant impact on bile acid and steroid metabolism. Numerous studies indicate that the two most studied strains of C. scindens (i.e. ATCC 35704 and VPI 12708) are important for a myriad of physiological processes in the host. We focus on both historical and current microbiological and molecular biology work on the Hylemon-Björkhem pathway and the steroid-17,20-desmolase pathway that were first discovered in C. scindens. Our most recent analysis now calls into question whether strains currently defined as C. scindens represent two separate taxonomic groups. Future directions include developing genetic tools to further explore the physiological role of bile acid and steroid metabolism by strains of C. scindens and the causal role of these pathways in host physiology and disease.

Colonoscopy and SeHCAT for investigation of chronic diarrhea.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Chronic diarrhea is a common problem. Colonoscopy is the investigation of choice for diagnosis. Even a macroscopically normal mucosa on endoscopy can have abnormalities such as microscopic colitis and bile acid malabsorption (BAM). The aim of this study was to establish the value of colonoscopy with biopsies in patients with chronic diarrhea and to evaluate the additive value of a SeHCAT test for diagnosing BAM in these patients. METHODS: All patients who underwent a colonoscopy between November 1999 and December 2000 were included. Patient files, colonoscopy and pathology reports and SeHCAT test results were reviewed. RESULTS: 205 patients were included. The most common diagnoses were diarrhea-predominant IBS (n = 76) and IBD (n = 38). 158 patients had non-bloody diarrhea, 113 (72%) of them had a macroscopically normal appearing mucosa. In 40 (35%) of these patients, a histological diagnosis could be made and microscopic colitis was the most common diagnosis (n = 27). SeHCAT test was performed in 36 patients and 15 (42%) of them had BAM. In the 47 patients with bloody diarrhea, IBD was the main diagnosis (n = 23). CONCLUSION: Colonoscopy with biopsies must be performed when investigating chronic diarrhea and BAM should be excluded.

Identification of intermediates in the bile acid synthetic pathway as ligands for the farnesoid X receptor.

Bile acid synthesis from cholesterol is tightly regulated via a feedback mechanism mediated by the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids. Synthesis via the classic pathway is initiated by a series of cholesterol ring modifications and followed by the side chain cleavage. Several intermediates accumulate or are excreted as end products of the pathway in diseases involving defective bile acid biosynthesis. In this study, we investigated the ability of these intermediates to activate human FXR. In a cell-based reporter assay and coactivator recruitment assays in vitro, early intermediates possessing an intact cholesterol side chain were inactive, whereas 26- or 25-hydroxylated bile alcohols and C27 bile acids were highly efficacious ligands for FXR at a level comparable to that of the most potent physiological ligand, chenodeoxycholic acid. Treatment of HepG2 cells with these precursors repressed the rate-limiting cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase mRNA level and induced the small heterodimer partner and the bile salt export pump mRNA, indicating the ability to regulate bile acid synthesis and excretion. Because 26-hydroxylated bile alcohols and C27 bile acids are known to be evolutionary precursors of bile acids in mammals, our findings suggest that human FXR may have retained affinity to these precursors during evolution.
