ABSTRACT

2

Despite the evidence regarding the influence of certain polyphenol food sources on the

3

metabolic profile in feces, the association between the different phenolics provided by

4

the diet and the fecal phenolic profile has not been elucidated. In this study, the

5

composition of phenolic metabolites in fecal solutions was analyzed by UPLC-ESI-

6

MS/MS in 74 volunteers. This fecal phenolic profile showed a high interindividual

7

variation of the different compounds analyzed, phenylacetic and phenylpropionic acids

8

being the major classes of phenolic metabolites excreted in feces. Subjects with higher

9

adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern presented greater fecal concentrations of

10

benzoic and 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acids, positively correlated with the intake of the

11

principal classes and subclasses of polyphenols and fibers, and higher levels of

12

Clostridium cluster XVIa and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. These results provide a link

13

among the Mediterranean dietary pattern, the bioactive compounds of the diet and the

14

fecal metabolic phenolic profile.

INTRODUCTION

19

Scientific evidence has associated the intake of polyphenol-rich foods and beverages

20

with the prevention of several pathologies.1-3 The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or

21

anti-carcinogenic potential of these compounds may contribute to these benefits.4-8

22

However, an important question that remains unsolved is whether specific effects can be

23

attributed to each class and/or individual compound of these polyphenols or to their

24

combined effect as a part of a whole diet. On the other hand, most studies available have

25

focused on the antioxidant effect of plasmatic polyphenols absorbed from dietary

26

components at the small intestine.9 However, the vast majority of polyphenols reach the

27

colon, where they are metabolized by the colonic microbiota, in some cases rendering

28

metabolites which may have greater biological activity than their dietary precursors.10, 11

29

Analysis of the fecal composition not only provides valuable information regarding

30

microbial produced metabolites and unabsorbed dietary components, but also provides

31

insight on whether the functionality of the gut ecosystem could undergo modifications

32

after dietary interventions.12 There are some research regarding the influence of certain

33

polyphenol rich-foods on the phenolic profile produced by the colonic microbiota.13-16

34

Nevertheless, the association between the phenolics provided by a regular diet and their

35

fecal excretion products has not been elucidated yet. While one of the most

36

representative components of a Mediterranean dietary pattern, red wine, has been

37

associated with an increase in the fecal excretion of 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic,

38

protocatechuic, 3-O-methylgallic, vanillic, syringic, phenylpropionic, 4-hydroxy-5-

39

(phenyl)valeric and p-coumaric acids,17 raspberry dietary supplementation does not

40

appear to have significant impact on fecal phenolic profile.18 The high interindividual

41

variation in the gut microbial composition and the different metabolic pathways

42

potentially involved in the metabolism of the wide variety of phenolic compounds 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

43

ingested with diet,17, 19-21 hinder the evaluation of the results obtained. It is also probable

44

that the different diets among countries might impact differently on the amount and the

45

type of biocompounds consumed by their inhabitants and the composition and

46

metabolism of the intestinal microbiota involved in the metabolic transformation of

47

polyphenols.22-25 Thus, it is necessary to establish whether the fecal phenolic profile can

48

be related with the regular dietary pattern, taking into consideration that physical and

49

lifestyle factors also show a high correlation with dietary intake. Therefore, the aim of

50

this study was to investigate whether a regular Mediterranean dietary pattern could be

51

associated with the microbial-derived phenolic metabolites profile in fecal samples and,

52

if so, what are the dietary components related to them.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

54

This cross-sectional study comprised 74 health mature volunteers from Asturias region

55

(North of Spain), 54 women and 20 men (71.3±11.2 years old). Participants were

56

recruited between 2009 and 2012 from subjects attending to a Program of the University

57

of Oviedo for people older than 50 years and from Institutions for elderly people in

58

Asturias. In a preliminary interview, volunteers were informed of the objectives of the

59

study. When they agreed to participate, a personal appointment was made to collect

60

dietary information. Exclusion criteria were previous diagnosis of cancer, autoimmune

61

or digestive diseases, and consumption of probiotics/prebiotics or antibiotics during the

62

previous month. Participants were mentally and physically able to participate in the

63

study and gave their written informed consent. Ethical approval was obtained from the

64

Regional Ethics Committee for Clinical Research (Servicio de Salud del Principado de

65

Asturias), in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

66

Nutritional assessment

67

Dietary intake of the previous year was registered with a food frequency questionnaire

68

(FFQ) of 160 food items, designed a priori for this project and validated with a 24-h

69

dietary for the intake of dietary biocompounds .26 Experts noted down detailed

70

information about menu preparation and other information relevant to the study on fiber

71

intake, for example the consumption of fruit peeled or with skin. In the time of

72

interview, volunteers were enquired about the frequency and amount they ate each food.

73

They could choose between 7 servings from 3 standardized photographs. To record the

74

consumption of alcoholic beverages, each volunteer was asked if they evenly consumed

75

wine, beer, cider and/or liquors, as well as, the type and amount, using household

76

measures (a glass, a bottle, etc.). Methodological issues concerning dietary assessment

77

have been detailed elsewhere.26 Food intake was analyzed for energy, macronutrients 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

78

and total dietary fiber content by using the nutrient Food Composition Tables developed

79

by the Centro de Enseñanza Superior de Nutrición Humana y Dietética (CESNID).27

80

Also, the following fiber components were ascertained using Marlett et al.28 food

81

composition tables: soluble fiber, soluble pectin, soluble hemicellulose, insoluble fiber,

82

insoluble pectin, insoluble hemicellulose, Klason lignin and cellulose (Table 4), based

83

on the enzymatic-chemical method developed by Theander et al.29 by which pectin

84

content is determined using calorimetric assay, cellulose and hemicellulose are

85

determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and Klason lignin is

86

estimated as the insoluble material after a Saeman acid hydrolysis.30 The phenolic

87

compound content in foods was completed using the Phenol Explorer database. It

88

contains more than 35,000 content values for 500 different polyphenols in over 400

89

foods and are classified into polyphenols classes such as flavonoids (anthocyanins,

90

dihydrochalcones, dihydroflavonols, flavanols, flavanones, flavones and flavonols),

91

phenolic acids (hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids), lignans, stilbenes, and

92

others (alkylphenols and tyrosols) (Table 4). For recipes, polyphenol content was

93

calculated on the basis of the contents of the ingredient and its polyphenol composition.

94

All of this information was mainly determined by HPLC, gas chromatography (GC),

95

and capillary electrophoresis (CE) and was obtained from more than 1,300

96

publications.31

97

Mediterranean diet score

98

A Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) was created using previous reports.32,33 Median

99

daily intake of the 8 components of the MDS was adjusted for sex and add up one point

100

to the total punctuation: high intake of cereals and potatoes, legumes, vegetables fruit,

101

and ethanol, high ratio of monounsaturated / saturated lipids and low intake of meat and

102

processed meat and milk and dairy products. Therefore, the possible range of

103

punctuation was 0-8 points, using 4 points as cutoff, associated with greater adherence

104

to MDS and also with health-promoting effects.33,34

105

Anthropometric evaluation

106

Height was measured using a stadiometer with ±1 mm of error (Año-Sayol, Barcelona,

107

Spain). andweight on a scale with an accuracy of ±100 g (Seca, Hamburg, Germany).

108

Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by: weight (kg) / height (m2) and stratified

109

according to Sociedad Española para el Estudio De la Obesidad (SEEDO) criteria: lean-

110

normal (≤25 Kg/m2), over-weight (25.1 to 29.99 kg/m2), and obese (≥30.0 kg/m2). 35

111

Fecal specimen collection

112

Each subject was asked to provide a fecal sample just after the nutritional interview,

113

which was collected in sterile containers and frozen at -20 °C until further analyses,

114

within a maximum of 2 h from deposition.

115

Microbiological analyses

116

The DNA was isolated form one gram of fecal sample by using the QIAamp DNA stool

117

mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) as previously described.36 PCR amplification and

118

detection of the 16 rRNA gene for the quantification of different bacterial groups

119

(Akkermansia, Bacteroides–Prevotella–Porphiromonas, Bifidobacterium, Clostridium

120

cluster XVIa, Lactobacillus group and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) in feces was

121

performed with a 7,500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Foster City,

122

CA, USA) using SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) as previously

123

described.37

125

For sample preparation, frozen fecal samples were thawed, and one gram was taken,

126

diluted 1/10 in sterile phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS; 0.01 M phosphate

127

buffer, 0.0027 M potassium chloride, 0.137 M sodium chloride, pH 7.4, prepared from

128

tablets from Sigma-Aldrich) and homogenized in a LabBlender 400 stomacher (Seward

129

Medical, London, UK) at full-speed for 4 min. Supernatants were then obtained by

130

centrifugation (10,000g, 30 min, 4 ºC) and filtration through 0.2 µm and stored at -20 ºC

131

until analysis.

132

For the analysis of phenolic metabolites in the fecal solutions, a previously reported

133

UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method was followed,17, 20 with some modifications. LOD (limit of

134

detection) of phenolic acids by this UPLC-TQMS equipment is up to 0.001 µg/mL.38

135

The liquid chromatographic system was a Waters Acquity UPLC (Milford, MA)

136

equipped with a binary pump, an autosampler thermostatted at 10 ºC and a heated

137

column compartment (40 ºC). The column employed was a BEH-C18, 2.1x100 mm and

138

1.7 µm particle size, from Waters (Milford, MA, USA). The mobile phases were 0.1%

139

(v/v) formic acid in water (A) and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in acetonitrile (B). The

140

gradient programme was as follows: 0 min, 0.1% B; 1.5 min, 0.1% B; 11.17 min, 16.3%

141

B; 11.5 min, 18.4% B; 14 min, 18.4% B; 14.1 min, 99.9% B; 15.5 min, 99.9% B; 15.6

142

min, 0.1% B. Equilibrium time was 2.4 min resulting in a total run-time of 18 min. The

143

flow rate was set constant at 0.5 mL/min and the injection volume was 2 µL. The LC

144

effluent was pumped to an Acquity TQD tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer

145

equipped with a Z-spray electrospray ionization (ESI) source operated in negative

146

polarity mode. The ESI parameters were set as follows: capillary voltage, 3 kV; source

147

temperature, 130 ºC; desolvation temperature, 400 ºC; desolvation gas (N2) flow rate,

148

750 L/h; cone gas (N2) flow rate, 60 L/h. For quantification purposes, data were

149

collected in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, tracking the transition of 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

150

parent and product ions specific to each compound. The MS/MS parameters (cone

151

voltage, collision energy and MRM transition) of the 62 phenolic compounds targeted

152

in the present study (mandelic acids, benzoic acids, phenols, hippuric acids,

153

phenylacetic acids, phenylpropionic acids, cinnamic acids, 4-hydroxyvaleric acids and

154

valerolactones) were previously reported.17 The ESI was operated in negative ionization

155

mode, except for γ-valerolactone (positive mode). All metabolites were quantified using

156

the calibration curves of their corresponding standards, commercially-available from

157

different

158

Vestenbergsgreuth, Germany; and Extrasynthese, Genay, France. Only 4-hydroxy-5-

159

(4´-hydroxy-phenyl)-valeric and 4-hydroxy-5-(3´,4´-dihydroxy-phenyl)-valeric acids,

160

which were quantified using the calibration curve of 3-(4´-hydroxyphenyl)-propionic

161

and 3-(3´,4´-dihydroxyphenyl)-propionic acids, respectively. Data acquisition and

162

processing was realized with MassLynx 4.1 software. Results were expressed as the

163

amount (µg) of phenolic metabolites in 1 mL of decimal fecal dilutions.

164

Statistical analyses

165

IBM-SPSS version 22.0 (SPSS-Inc., Chicago) was used as statistical software for data

166

analyses. Goodness of fit to normal distribution was analyzed with the Kolmogorov-

167

Smirnov test. When the distribution of variables was skewed, the natural logarithm of

168

each value was used in the statistical test. For data of fecal phenolic compounds, only

169

those fecal compounds with concentrations >0.2 µg/mL and detectable in at least 5

170

samples were considered. A Student’s t-test was used to evaluate the differences in the

171

means of continuous variables according to the categorical variables as gender, age (50-

172

65 and ≥65 years), BMI (
