Abstract
Objectives: Our objective was to demonstrate microbial regulation of hepatic genes implicated in drug metabolism and transport using germ‐free (GF) mice and to explore the impact of a microbial metabolite, butyrate, and a prebiotic dietary intervention on hepatic gene expression in mice. Methods: Using reverse‐transcriptase PCR, we investigated cytochrome P450 (CYP) and multidrug‐resistance protein 1 (MDR1) expression in conventional, GF and colonised GF mice. To investigate the effects of butyrate, sodium butyrate (3 g/l) was administered for 21 days to conventional or GF mice. In the prebiotic study, young adult and middle‐aged mice received diet enriched with 10% fructo‐oligosaccharide (FOS)‐inulin for 14 weeks. Key findings: Colonisation of GF animals normalised expression of Cyp3a11 and Mdr1b to conventional levels. Butyrate upregulated Cyp2b10 in conventional mice (P < 0.05) but overall did not induce widespread changes in hepatic genes. FOS‐inulin increased Cyp3a13 expression and had the opposite effect on Mdr1a expression in young adult mice (P < 0.05). Age, on the other hand, influenced the prebiotic effect on Cyp2a4 expression (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The expression of hepatic genes implicated in drug metabolism and transport displays sensitivity to the microbiome, microbiome‐derived metabolites and a microbial‐targeted intervention. Our study may provide the impetus to explore microbiota‐targeted interventions in normalising host metabolic activity and reducing inter‐individual variability in drug pharmacokinetics.
