Bile acid 7α-dehydroxylating bacteria accelerate injury-induced mucosal healing in the colon

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Eduard Vico Oton, Colin Volet, Antoine Jalil

Host-microbiome communication is frequently perturbed in gut pathologies due to microbiome dysbiosis, leading to altered production of bacterial metabolites. Among these, 7 alpha-dehydroxylated bile acids are notably diminished in inflammatory bowel diseas ...

Protecting liver health with microbial-derived succinylated bile acids

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny

The gut microbiome produces a plethora of metabolites that influence host metabolism. In a recent article published in Cell, Nie and colleagues reveal that 3-succinylated cholic acid, a microbe-derived bile acid, protects against metabolic dysfunction-asso ...

A microbial-derived succinylated bile acid to safeguard liver health

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny

In this issue of Cell, Nie and co-authors report that the microbe-derived bile acid (BA) 3-succinylated cholic acid protects against the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease. Intriguingly, its protective mechanism does not involve ...

Wars1 downregulation in hepatocytes induces mitochondrial stress and disrupts metabolic homeostasis

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Xiaoxu Li, Antoine Jalil

Several laboratories, including ours, have employed the Slc25a47tm1c(EUCOMM)Hmgu mouse model to investigate the role of SLC25A47, a hepatocyte-specific mitochondrial carrier, in regulating hepatic metabolism and systemic physiology. In this study, we revea ...

Asparagine protects pericentral hepatocytes during acute liver injury

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Ece Yildiz, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Nadia Bresciani, Yu Sun, Antoine Jalil

The nonessential amino acid asparagine can only be synthesized de novo by the enzymatic activity of asparagine synthetase (ASNS). While ASNS and asparagine have been implicated in the response to numerous metabolic stressors in cultured cells, the in vivo ...

The Slc25a47 locus is a novel determinant of hepatic mitochondrial function implicated in liver fibrosis

Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Alessia Perino, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Hao Li, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Nadia Bresciani, Yu Sun, Xiaoxu Li

Background & Aims: Transporters of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier superfamily bridge cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism by channeling metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and are pivotal for metabolic homeostasis. Despite their physiological r ...

ELSEVIER2022

Molecular physiology of bile acid signaling in health, disease, and aging

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Laura Alejandra Velazquez Villegas

Over the last two decades, bile acids (BAs) have become established as important signaling molecules that enable fine-tuned inter-tissue communication from the liver, their site of production, over the intestine, where they are modified by the gut microbio ...

Emerging functions of the nuclear receptor LRH-1 in liver physiology and pathology

Kristina Schoonjans, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Yu Sun

Nuclear receptors play pleiotropic roles in cell differentiation, development, proliferation, and metabolic processes to govern liver physiology and pathology. The nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1, NR5A2), originally identified in the live ...

Impaired SUMOylation of nuclear receptor LRH-1 promotes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Kristina Schoonjans, Dongryeol Ryu, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu, Xu Wang, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny

Hepatic steatosis is caused by metabolic imbalances that could be explained in part by an increase in de novo lipogenesis that results from increased sterol element binding protein 1 (SREBP-1) activity. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) ...

LRH-1-dependent programming of mitochondrial glutamine processing drives liver cancer

Arnaud Comment, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Kristina Schoonjans, Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan, Dongryeol Ryu, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Emine Can, Pan Xu, Xu Wang, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny

Various tumors develop addiction to glutamine to support uncontrolled cell proliferation. Here we identify the nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) as a key regulator in the process of hepatic tumorigenesis through the coordination of a noncan ...
