Genetic Deficiency of Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 ( Fmo3) Protects Against Thrombosis but Has Only a Minor Effect on Plasma Lipid Levels-Brief Report. Objective- FMO (flavin-containingmonooxygenase) 3 converts bacterial-derived trimethylamine to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We generated FMO3 knockout (FMO3KO) mouse to study its
Genetic and Nongenetic Factors Associated with Protein Abundance of Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 in Human Liver Hepatic flavin-containing mono-oxygenase 3 (FMO3) metabolizes a broad array of nucleophilic heteroatom (e.g., or )-containing xenobiotics (e.g., amphetamine, sulindac, benzydamine, ranitidine, tamoxifen, nicotine, and ethionamide), as well as endogenous compounds (e.g
The TMAO-Producing Enzyme Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 (FMO3) Regulates Obesity and the Beiging of White Adipose Tissue Emerging evidence suggests that microbes resident in the human intestine represent a key environmental factor contributing to obesity-associated disorders. Here, we demonstrate that the gut microbiota-initiated trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)-generating pathway is linked -containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) conferred protection against obesity in mice. Complimentary mouse and human studies indicate a negative regulatory role for FMO3 in the beiging of white adipose tissue. Collectively, our studies reveal a link between the TMAO-producing enzyme FMO3 and obesity and the beiging of white adipose tissue.
Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 Reduces Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Lipid-Treated Hepatocytes. Isoforms of flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) are involved in xenobiotic metabolism but have also been implicated in the regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis and in the development of atherosclerosis. However, we have recently shown that improved insulin action is associated
Genetic Variant in Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 Alters Lipid Metabolism in Laying Hens in a Diet-Specific Manner Genetic variant T329S in flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) impairs trimethylamine (TMA) metabolism in birds. The TMA metabolism that under complex genetic and dietary regulation, closely linked to cardiovascular disease risk. We determined whether the genetic defects
Trimethylamine and Trimethylamine N-Oxide, a Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 (FMO3)-Mediated Host-Microbiome Metabolic Axis Implicated in Health and Disease Flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) is known primarily as an enzyme involved in the metabolism of therapeutic drugs. On a daily basis, however, we are exposed to one of the most abundant substrates of the enzyme trimethylamine (TMA
Flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 as a potential player in diabetes-associated atherosclerosis Despite the well-documented association between insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease, the key targets of insulin relevant to the development of cardiovascular disease are not known. Here, using non-biased profiling methods, we identify the enzyme flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (Fmo3
Oxidative Stress-responsive Transcription Factor NRF2 is Not Indispensable For The Human Hepatic Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase-3 (FMO3) Gene Expression in HepG2 Cells The flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) are important for the oxidation of a variety of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics. The hepatic expression of FMO3 is highly variable and until recently, it was thought
Effect of Human Flavin-ContainingMonooxygenase3 Polymorphism on the Metabolism of Aurora Kinase Inhibitors Aurora kinases were recently identified as a potential target in anticancer therapy and, amongst their available inhibitors, Tozasertib (VX-680) and Danusertib (PHA-739358) have been indicated as possible substrates of human flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (hFMO3). Here we report
Effect of dietary choline supplementation under different flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 genotypes on trimethylamine metabolism in laying hens. To evaluate the effect of flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) genotype and dietary choline supplementation on trimethylamine (TMA) metabolism in HyLine Brown laying hens, a 3 × 2 two-factorial arrangement was employed with FMO3 genotypes (AA
encoding flavin-containingmonooxygenase3, or secondary, due to various causes. To gain a better understanding of problems faced by United Kingdom residents affected by body and breath malodour conditions, we conducted a survey. Two anonymous online surveys, one for adults and one for parents/guardians of affected children, were conducted using the Opinio platform. Participants were invited via
were analyzed using targeted metabolomics, with a focus on the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes. The expression of hepatic flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) and serum TMAO levels were also evaluated. Mice receiving gut microbiota from CAP mice showed increased atherosclerotic lesions compared to controls, without significant differences in serum lipid or inflammatory factor levels
) stress genes were co-upregulated with mitoCarta genes in chronic kidney diseases (CKD); TMAO upregulated 190 genes in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs); TMAO synthesis enzyme flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) was expressed in human and mouse aortas,;4) TMAO trans-differentiated HAECs into innate immune cells; TMAO phosphorylated 12 kinases in cytosol via its receptor PERK and CREB
lyase inhibition on gut microbiome structure via 16S rRNA sequencing. We show the gut microbial choline metabolite TMA is elevated in AH patients and correlates with reduced hepatic expression of the TMA oxygenase flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3). Provocatively, we find that small molecule inhibition of gut microbial CutC/D activity protects mice from ethanol-induced liver injury. CutC/D
, 33 patients were recruited between July 2014 and June 2017. Afatinib plasma concentrations were measured at day 9 when the concentrations reached a steady state (early phase) and when the prescription dose was stable for more than 1 month (stable phase). We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1), ABCG2, and flavin-containingmonooxygenase3. The incidences of both diarrhea and acneiform eruption were greater than 80%. Afatinib plasma concentration and the severity of diarrhea in the early phase were correlated. Pharmacokinetics-related genetic polymorphisms influenced the severity of diarrhea. Particularly, the afatinib plasma concentration was higher and diarrhea was more severe in patients carrying the A allele of ABCG2 C421A
Minor diplotypes of FMO3 might protect children and adolescents from obesity and insulin resistance. In order to assess whether flavin-containingmonooxygenase-3 (FMO3) might be involved in early cardiovascular risk, we assessed adiposity and traditional metabolic variables in children/adolescents grouped according to their genotypes in two FMO3 exonic polymorphisms, rs2266782 (E158K
Inactivation mechanism of N61S mutant of human FMO3 towards trimethylamine Human flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (hFMO3) catalyses the oxygenation of a wide variety of compounds including drugs as well as dietary compounds. It is the major hepatic enzyme involved in the production of the N-oxide of trimethylamine (TMAO) and clinical studies have uncovered a striking correlation between plasma
with urine. TMAuria is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (). Most TMAuria cases are caused by missense mutations, but nonsense mutations have also been reported in these cases. Here, we describe the identification of a novel gene mutation in a patient with TMAuria and her family. A 3-year-old girl presented with a strong corporal odor after ingesting
receptor (AhR)], have now been shown to have endogenous roles in normal physiology and the pathology of metabolic diseases. This mini-review will focus on two such instances: the role of flavin-containingmonooxygenase3 (FMO3) in the formation of the cardiometabolic disease biomarker trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) and the role of AhR as a sensor of endogenous ligands such as those generated by the gut
