Abstract 3457: Plasma metabolomic changes in mice with time restricted feeding-attenuated pulmonary metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma

Abstract

Abstract Erratic eating behavior disrupts diurnal rhythms of metabolism and may contribute to obesity. Time-restricted feeding (TRF), in which food is available in the active period of the day (the dark phase for nocturnal animals), restores metabolic homeostasis in mice. In a mouse model of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), we found that TRF (12 hours, dark phase) attenuates obesity-enhanced spontaneous metastasis to the lungs in a study that compared differences in the extent of metastasis among four dietary groups: non-LLC-bearing mice fed the standard AIN93G diet and LLC-bearing mice fed the AIN93G, an obesogenic high-fat diet (HFD) or TRF with the HFD. With the goal of determining potential plasma fingerprints underlying TRF efficacy, we performed untargeted metabolomic analysis upon the plasma samples from this study. Using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we identified 152 compounds of which 24 differed among the four groups. Ten analytes that were the most influential in treatment separation were alpha-tocopherol, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, pyruvic acid, dihydrocholestrol, arachidonic acid (ARA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), lactic acid, and cholesterol. In mice fed the AIN93G diet, compared to non-LLC-bearing mice LLC elevated alpha-tocopherol, ARA, isoleucine, phenylalanine, cholesterol, lauric acid, and 4-hydroxybenzoate and decreased lactic acid, lactamide, and pyruvic acid. In LLC-bearing mice, compared to the AIN93G diet the HFD elevated asparagine, leucine, phenylalanine, dehydrocholesterol, p-cresol sulfate, and hexuronic acid and decreased 1,5-anhydroglucitol, palmitoleic acid, myristic acid, lauric acid, and 4-hydrobenzoate. Compared to the HFD, TRF elevated linoleic acid and 2-hydroxyhexanoic acid and decreased alpha-tocopherol, asparagine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, dihydrocholesterol, p-cresol sulfate, hexuronic acid, and DHA. This study showed that LLC metastatic growth and an increase in dietary fat consumption disrupted metabolic homeostasis, as reflected in plasma analyte changes compared to their respective controls. TRF, through its temporal regulation of food intake, restored HFD-mediated metabolic disruption and may have contributed to its inhibition of obesity-enhanced LLC metastasis.
