Strain dropouts reveal interactions that govern the metabolic output of the gut microbiome

M. Wang, L. J. Osborn, S. Jain, X. Meng, A. Weakley, J. Yan, W. Massey, V. Venkateshwari, A. J. Horak, R. Banerjee, D. S. Allende, R. Chan, A. Hajjar, A. Dimas, A. Zhao, , M. A. Fischbach

The paper investigates how strain dropouts in the gut microbiome affect community metabolism and host physiology, finding that functionally redundant strains can have significant impacts outside their niche.

Membrane-Bound O-Acyltransferase 7 (MBOAT7)-Driven Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) Acylation in Adipocytes Contributes to Systemic Glucose Homeostasis

W. Massey, V. Varadharajan, R. Banerjee, A. L. Brown, A. J. Horak, R. C. Hohe, E. R. Chan, C. Pan, R. Zhang, D. S. Allende, A. J. Lusis, J. M. Brown

This study shows that MBOAT7 in adipocytes regulates PI homeostasis and contributes to hyperinsulinemia and systemic insulin resistance in mice.

Gut Microbial Trimethylamine is Elevated in Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis and Contributes to Ethanol-Induced Liver Injury in Mice

R. N. Helsley, T. Miyata, A. Kadam, V. Venkateshwari, N. Sangwan, E. C. Huang, R. Banerjee, A. L. Brown, K. K. Fung, W. Massey, C. Neumann, O. Danny, L. J. Osborn, R. C. Schugar, M. R. McMullen, , J. M. Brown

This study shows elevated trimethylamine (TMA) in alcohol-associated hepatitis patients and demonstrates that inhibiting gut microbial TMA production protects mice from ethanol-induced liver injury.

Membrane-Bound O-Acyltransferase 7 (MBOAT7) is a Key Regulator of Glycolysis in Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma.

C. K. A. Neumann, W. Massey, D. Orabi, R. Zhang, D. J. Silver, J. D. Lathia, J. M. Brown

This study shows MBOAT7 regulates glycolysis in ccRCC by reducing glycolytic gene expression, intermediates, and respiration, and improving survival in xenograft models.
