PG - 98 LID - 10.1186/s13059-023-02938-5 [doi] LID - 98 AB - BACKGROUND: Caloric restriction (CR) has been known to promote health by reprogramming metabolism, yet little is known about how the epigenome and microbiome respond during metabolic adaptation to CR. RESULTS: We investigate chromatin modifications, gene expression, as well as alterations in microbiota in a CR mouse model. Collectively, short-term CR leads to altered gut microbial diversity and bile acid metabolism, improving energy expenditure. CR remodels the hepatic enhancer landscape at genomic loci that are enriched for binding sites for signal-responsive transcription factors, including HNF4alpha. These alterations reflect a dramatic reprogramming of the liver transcriptional network, including genes involved in bile acid metabolism. Transferring CR gut microbiota into mice fed with an obesogenic diet recapitulates the features of CR-related bile acid metabolism along with attenuated fatty liver. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that CR-induced microbiota shapes the hepatic epigenome followed by altered expression of genes responsible for bile acid metabolism. CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s).
