ABSTRACT: Microbiome has been revealed as a key element involved in
2
maintaining the circadian rhythms. Oolong tea polyphenols (OTP) has been shown to
3
have a potential prebiotic activity. Therefore, this study focused on the regulation
4
mechanisms of OTP on host circadian rhythms. After 8 weeks of OTP administration,
5
a large expansion in the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes with a decrease in
6
Firmicutes was observed, which reflected the positive modulatory effect of OTP on
7
gut flora. In addition, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways
8
of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, two-component system and the
9
biosynthesis of amino acids enriched the most differentially expressed genes (DEGs)
10
after OTP treatment. Of the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) identified, most
11
were related to metabolism, genetic information processing and environmental
12
information processing. It underscores the ability of OTP to regulate circadian rhythm
13
by enhancing beneficial intestinal microbiota and affecting metabolic pathways,
14
contributing to the improvement of host micro-ecology.

Introduction
18
Tea is widely consumed around the world. Oolong tea is a unique semi-fermented tea
19
containing various ingredients, and the putative effective compounds is attributed to
20
polyphenols.1 Oolong tea polyphenols (OTP) have been shown to have a potential
21
prebiotic activity.2 The main phenolic compounds in OTP include (-)-epigallocatechin
22
gallate (EGCG), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and
23
(-)-epicatechin (EC).3 Furthermore, as the O-methylated form of EGCG,
24
(-)-epigallocatechin 3-O-(3-O-methyl)gallate (EGCG3″Me) shows a satisfied effect
25
on host intestinal micro-ecology by modulating gut microbiota.4
26
The rotation of the earth around its axis generates a cycle of light and darkness.
27
Circadian rhythm is an endogenous oscillation of physiology synchronizes many
28
biological processes with changes in environmental factors.5 Therefore, almost all
29
living organisms have evolved circadian clock to adapt and respond to the physical
30
environment.6 The mammalian circadian rhythm is generated by a central clock that
31
receives direct light input from the retina and synchronizes other central and
32
peripheral tissues phases.7 In a peripheral clock system, the clock in the liver is
33
critical because it affects many physiological processes.8 Therefore, natural products
34
have been noted as potential functional components with circadian modulatory
35
activity. In recent years, the relationship between circadian rhythm and intestinal flora
36
has aroused widespread concern.9
37
In the gut, the microbiota has been revealed as a critical element affecting host
38
health,10 and the disturbance of microbiota composition has been demonstrated to be 3

39
related to the development of certain metabolic syndromes.11 Circadian clocks and
40
metabolism are inseparable, both central and liver circadian clocks coordinate
41
metabolic events in response to the awakening-sleep cycle.12 The gut microbiome is
42
important in maintaining the host's circadian rhythm. Despite the existence of light
43
and dark signals, sterile mice exhibited impaired circadian clock gene expression,
44
whereas the intestinal microbiota of the normal mice showed different diurnal
45
variation depending on dietary composition.13 Dietary tea polyphenols have been
46
reported to ameliorate memory impairment via a circadian clock-related mechanism.14
47
In addition, plant polyphenols could effective regulate the expression and rhythm of
48
circadian clock genes as well as the internal environment.15 Our previous studies have
49
also shown that tea polyphenols are beneficial for the stability of gut flora, especially
50
in environmentally induced microbial imbalances.16,17
51
Prebiotics not only modulate gut flora, but also improve the integrity of intestinal
52
tight junctions.18 Tea catechins have been showed prebiotic activity and generated
53
short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in our previous study.19 In addition, we have
54
identified KEGG pathways enriched the most DEGs after OTP intervention.16 At
55
present, the research on the regulation of tea catechins on intestinal flora is an
56
emerging field, and there is still a lack of systematic understanding. Tea catechins can
57
affect the circadian rhythm of peripheral clock systems, but the molecular regulation
58
mechanisms are still unclear. Therefore, investigating the inter-relationship between
59
intestinal flora and host circadian rhythm is a breakthrough in promoting the theory of
60
circadian rhythm regulation. 4

Materials and Methods
62
Chemicals. Polyamide resin was purchased from Ocean Chemical Co., Ltd.
63
(Qingdao, China). Standards of tea catechin monomers were prepared according to
64
the method we reported.19 All other chemicals were of analytical grade.
65
Preparation of OTP. Oolong tea was obtained from a local tea plantation in
66
Ningbo. The OTP preparation was performed according to our reported method.16
67
Briefly, the tea was extracted with hot water at a ratio of 1:16 (m: v) at 96 °C for 40
68
min, and purified by a polyamide column. The elutions were analyzed by HPLC,16
69
and the desired fractions containing OTP were concentrated and lyophilized.
70
Animals and experimental design. We initially colonized young adult (6 weeks
71
old) male C57BL/6J mice by a microbial community present in freshly stool samples
72
from 5 healthy volunteers (3 females and 2 males, 25-30 years old). Fresh human
73
stool samples were diluted in 10 mL of PBS under anaerobic conditions, and 0.2 mL
74
of the vortexed stool suspension was introduced by gavage into each sterile recipient.
75
The mice were acclimated to the environment for 7 days in constant darkness, and
76
then randomly divided into 3 groups: a 12 h light-dark cycle group (control), constant
77
darkness group (CD) and constant darkness with OTP group (CD-OTP) fed with 0.1%
78
(w/w) OTP. The body weight, food and water consumption of each animal was
79
recorded weekly, and faecal samples were collected from the CD-OTP group after 0
80
(OTP-0), 2 (OTP-2), 4 (OTP-4) and 8 weeks (OTP-8). After 8 weeks, the laparotomy
81
was performed under pentobarbital anesthesia, and liver and epididymal fat were
82
isolated and immediately weighed. 5

Analysis of intestinal microbiota. DNA was extracted using E.Z.N.A. ®Stool
84
DNA Kit by the manufacturer's instructions.16 Prior to sequencing, the above 16S
85
rDNA V3-V4 region of each sample was amplified with a set of primers targeting the
86
16S rRNA gene region. Sequences were analyzed using QIIME (Quantitative Insights
87
Into Microbial Ecology) (version 1.2.8) software package.20 High quality reads were
88
clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) using CD-HIT software (version
89
4.6.1). The OTUs reached 97% nucleotide similarity level were used for richness
90
(Chao1), alpha diversity (Shannon and Simpson).21 Phylogenetic beta diversity
91
measures unweighted UniFrac distance metrics analysis and principal coordinate
92
analysis (PCoA) were performed using OTUs.
93
Construction of a gut metagenome reference. Firstly, we performed taxonomic
94
assignments and functional annotations using the Non-Redundant (NR), KEGG, and
95
Gene Ontology (GO) databases. 16 In addition to setting the E value was set to 10-5, all
96
genes were searched against integrated microbial genomes (IMG, version 3.4) using
97
default parameters. The taxonomic association of a gene was determined by the
98
lowest common ancestor of all taxonomically annotated results.
99
Protein extraction, digestion and LC-MS/MS measurements. Faecal samples
100
were suspended with PBS and rotated on a Thermo shaker (MSC-100) overnight at
101
4 °C. The precipitates were collected by centrifugation and re-suspended in 90%
102
pre-cooled acetone. The extract was centrifuged, then the supernatant was transferred
103
to a new tube and the protein was precipitated by methanol chloroform.
104
Protein samples were digested according to previously reported method.22 The 6

peptides were dried under vacuum, re-suspended in 2% acetonitrile and 0.1% TFA
106
and desalted with Sep-Pak C18 (Waters, WAT023590). Peptides were analyzed on a
107
Q Exactive mass spectrometer coupled with Easy-nLC 1200. The peptides were
108
loaded onto a C18-reversed phase column and eluted with a gradient of 5-80%
109
acetonitrile + 0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 300 nL/min.

The effect of OTP on body and organ weight of the mouse model. The increase
128
in body weight after 2 weeks was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the CD group than
129
in the CD-OTP group (Fig. 1), which showed the direct weight-reducing activity of
130
OTP. In Fig. S2, the values for the liver and epididymal weight in the CD group were
131
significantly higher than those of the control (P < 0.05), while the weight gain of the
132
CD-OTP group was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The results of food (Fig. S3A)
133
and water consumption (Fig. S3B) showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) in all
134
groups.
135
The effect of OTP on bacterial diversity of the mouse model. The estimator of
136
Chao1 richness for total bacterial community diversity was increased during OTP
137
treatment (Table S2). The functional role of OTP in improving species richness and
138
diversity was further supported by a significantly higher Shannon and lower Simpson
139
indexes (P < 0.05). A Venn diagram showed that there were only 243 of the total
140
richness of 1,029 OTUs were shared among all samples, demonstrating that >23% of
141
the OTUs observed after OTP treatment were the same as in the initial treatment.
142
In each group, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria were
143
the most abundant phyla (Fig. 2). After 8 weeks of OTP treatment, a dramatically
144
decrease in the relative abundance of Firmicutes with an increase of Bacteroidetes
145
was observed. The corresponding Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio was decreased
146
from 0.80 (OTP-0) to 0.41 (OTP-8), indicating that Firmicutes was largely inhibited
147
by OTP. In the control group, the F/B ratio was also decreased. However, in the CD
148
group the ratio showed an opposite trend, which suggested the circadian rhythm 8

149
disorder may lead to imbalance of intestinal flora, and the result was similar to the
150
consequences of obesity-induced gut dysbiosis.
151
At the family level (Fig. 3A), it can be seen that both Prevotellaceae and
152
Bacteroidaceae showed significant increasing trends (P < 0.05) during the treatment
153
of OTP. Prevotellaceae was the predominant bacterium, and the relative abundance of
154
which increased from 0.34 ± 0.02 (OTP-0) to 0.44 ± 0.02 at the 8th week. For
155
Bacteroidaceae, it showed a similar trend, while Eubacteriaceae, Ruminococcaceae
156
and Lachnospiraceae showed a decreasing trend after OTP intervention. Prevotella
157
and Bacteroides accounted for the majority at the genus level (Fig. 3B), whose
158
relative abundances were increased after OTP treatment, while Faecalibacterium,
159
Mitsuokella and Ruminococcus were decreased. In addition, as shown in Fig. S4, the
160
faecal flora in the OTP-fed group at 0, 2, 4 and 8-week were separated clearly by
161
PCoA.
162
The effect of OTP on the gut microbiome of humanized mouse. The imputed
163
relative abundances of KEGG pathways in OTP-0 and OTP-8 were used to predict
164
metabolic function changes within the microbiomes (Fig. 4). The KEGG pathways
165
indicated that membrane transport, carbohydrate metabolism and signal transduction
166
accounted for the top three. At the same time, the largest statistical differences
167
between OTP-0 and OTP-8 were cell motility, membrane transport and environmental
168
adaptation. After 8 weeks, the OTP-associated DEGs were enriched in various KEGG
169
pathways involved in ABC transporters, two-component system, and biosynthesis of
170
amino acids (Fig. S5). 9
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
171
GO analysis of DEGs between OTP-0 and OTP-8 indicated that most genes in
172
biological processes including regulation of transcription, DNA-templated, transport,
173
translation, metabolic process and carbohydrate metabolic process; cellular
174
components including cytosol, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, integral component of
175
membrane and membrane; and molecular functions including transcription factor
176
activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, ATP binding, structural constituent of
177
ribosome, protein binding and catalytic activity (Fig. 5).
178
Metaproteomic analysis was applied to study the proteins of the intestinal
179
microbiota of the CD group fed with OTP. A total of 312,676 MS/MS spectra were
180
generated from the faecal samples, and 65,535 peptides could be identified. The
181
distribution of molecular weight (A), number (B) of peptides and sequence coverages
182
(C) by label-free proteomics were shown in Fig. S6A-C. Of the differentially
183
expressed proteins (DEPs) between OTP-0 and OTP-8 identified, most were related to
184
metabolism, genetic information processing and environmental information
185
processing (Fig. 6). After OTP intervention, DEPs enriched in the metabolism
186
domains included carbohydrate metabolism, global and overview maps and amino
187
acid metabolism; genetic information processing including translation, folding,
188
sorting degradation and transcription; environmental information processing including
189
membrane transport and signal transduction.

Discussion
191
The human gut is considered to be the main site for the interaction between OTP and
192
intestinal flora.24 Meanwhile, evidence has showed an inextricable link between gut 10

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
193
microbiota and metabolic syndromes. Previous studies underscored the ability of
194
microbial-derived metabolites to alter circadian rhythms as well as the metabolic
195
function of the host.14
196
Sleep defects and circadian rhythm disruption are closely related to metabolic
197
disorders, which may lead to obesity by regulating feeding time and amount of food
198
intake.25 Studies have shown that tea polyphenols could modulate the relatively
199
shallow daily oscillations of circadian clock gene expression in the liver caused by
200
continuous darkness.15 People with persistent circadian rhythm disorders, such as
201
insomnia and night shift workers, have higher incidence of hyperlipidemia,
202
atherosclerosis, hypertension and other diseases.26 The occurrence of these chronic
203
diseases was closely related to the human intestinal micro-ecological imbalance, and
204
showed circadian rhythm oscillation similar to the intestinal flora.27 A common
205
characteristic of these chronic diseases is that they appear to be accelerated by the
206
inflammatory
207
characteristic of circadian clock,29 which maintaining biological homeostasis through
208
a number of specialized metabolic and signaling pathways.30 It has been demonstrated
209
that environmental circadian rhythm disruption can lead to disorders of the gut flora,
210
especially when under dietary stress.31

211
Tea catechins exhibited proliferative effects on certain beneficial bacteria in our
212
previous study; in addition, it promoted the production of total SCFAs.19 The
213
production of SCFAs is the result of intestinal microbiota metabolism, which plays a
214
vital role in regulating host metabolism and cell proliferation.25 In this study, an 11
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
215
increase in the relative abundances of genera known to produce acetate and butyrate
216
were observed in mice supplemented with OTP. Different strains of gut microbiota
217
exhibited varying degrees of growth sensitivity to the metabolites of polyphenols.32
218
The changes of microbiota populations after circadian rhythm disruption have been
219
characterized by the expansion of pro-inflammatory bacteria and a decrease in
220
putative anti-inflammatory, SCFAs-producing ones.33
221
In the present study, circadian disorder leads to symptoms similar to obesity. After
222
8 weeks of treatment, the body weight and epididymal fat were significantly increased
223
(P < 0.05) in the CD group, while a decrease in the relative abundance of Firmicutes
224
was observed in the circadian rhythm disorder group with OTP intervention. In
225
addition, OTP increased the relative abundance of Bifidobacteria dramatically after 8
226
weeks, which may enhance intestinal barrier function, stimulate the host immune
227
system and regulate lipid metabolism, and considered to be important bacterial group
228
associated with host health.34 An increased ratio of F/B has been observed in obese
229
people.35 However, the generation of circadian rhythm disorder involves more
230
complex issues, which cannot only be simply explained by an imbalance in the F/B
231
proportion.
232
Although the relationships between intestinal flora and metabolic syndromes
233
remain unclear, high-throughput sequencing offers the opportunity to explore
234
taxonomy and genes through less biased and more comprehensive measurements.36
235
The mechanism by which tea polyphenols regulate the flora in the gut includes the
236
interactions with the basic development and metabolic aspects of bacteria, as well as 12
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 12 of 31
Page 13 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
237
interference with cell membrane function and bacterial energy metabolism.37 The
238
effect of tea polyphenols on the gut microbiota depends on the structure of both the
239
polyphenols and the microbial strain.38,39 Tea polyphenols can form hydrogen bonds
240
with stacking interactions of nucleobases, which may explain their inhibition on
241
bacterial DNA and RNA synthesis.40 In our study, enriched GO terms suggesting that
242
OTP alleviated the negative consequences of circadian rhythm disorder by affecting
243
cellular components. Moreover, tea polyphenols can influence bacteria through a
244
variety of cellular targets. For instance, plant polyphenols can form complex with
245
proteins via hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding and hydrophobic interactions.41
246
KEGG analysis of DEGs showed the most enriched metabolic pathways between
247
OTP-0 and OTP-8 in the present study. The ABC transporters are widely distributed,
248
and involved in detoxification and transport processes.42 In addition, the results
249
revealed by metaproteomic indicated that after 8 weeks, most DEPs were enriched in
250
the metabolic domains, and that may be due to that the gut microbiota can regulate
251
energy harvest of the host.43 To be more specific, intestinal microflora affects the
252
host's energy metabolism system by regulating the efficiency of energy extraction
253
from diet and the way of using or storing this harvested energy.
254
EGCG has been reported to relieve diet-induced metabolic syndromes related to
255
the circadian clock,44 and dietary tea polyphenols can ameliorate memory impairment
256
through a circadian clock-related mechanism.14 However, due to the limited
257
bioavailability of tea polyphenols in vivo, the majority ingested are metabolized into
258
various derivatives by intestinal microbiota. The activity of tea polyphenols depends 13
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
259
to a large extent on their conversion in the intestine. It has been indicated that the
260
disruption of circadian clock by changing the light/dark circadian cycle induced the
261
changes in the intestinal microbiota, including composition and circadian rhythm
262
oscillation.45 Recent studies have also demonstrated the ability of microbial metabolic
263
derivatives to regulate central and liver circadian rhythm as well as host metabolic
264
function, which implies prebiotics may alleviate circadian rhythm misalignment.46
265
Furthermore, this study will better assess the feasibility of tea polyphenols' microbial
266
metabolites in the treatment of circadian rhythm disruption and the related metabolic
267
syndromes.
268
In conclusion, OTP ameliorated circadian rhythm disorder induced gut dysbiosis,
269
and showed activities to maintain micro-ecology balance. For the DEPs identified by
270
metaproteomic analysis, most were related to metabolism, genetic and environmental
271
information processing. Finally, our results suggested that OTP has prebiotic activity
272
for ameliorate metabolic syndrome associated with circadian rhythm disorders.
