Resum
Ageing disrupts how our bodies process nutrients, leading to deregulation of nutrient-sensing and increased inflammation. Dietary interventions can promote healthy ageing, which demonstrates the importance of both metabolism and the gastrointestinal tract for our health. Bitter taste receptors (TAS2R) present in the intestine are key members of metabolic regulation. TAS2R are involved in controlling enterohormonal secretion, detect phenolic compounds in our diet, and potentially have a great impact on the ageing process. Here, we aimed to analyze the potential role of intestinal TAS2R on the ageing process and establish potential impact of these receptors on the biomarkers. Healthy subjects were divided into two age cohorts: young (38.9±6) and aged (63.6±6). TAS2R expression was analyzed in the colon. Analyses of metabolomics and of phenolic markers were performed in plasma. Best discriminatory parameters were obtained using three machine-learning methods. Finally, Spearman's rank correlation was performed. The best separators of the age cohorts were docosahexaenoic acid and multiple lipoprotein fractions. Two TAS2R were also identified: TAS2R5 and TAS2R38. TAS2R5 correlated with multiple lipoprotein-derived fractions, inflammatory marker IL-6 and polyunsaturated fatty acids. TAS2R38 was much more selective, correlating with a few parameters, including membrane lipid sphingomyelin, ketone body acetone, and omega acids. Both TAS2R5 and TAS2R38 correlated with β-hydroxybutyrate. The parameters that correlated with TAS2R have known effects on the ageing process. This suggests that TAS2R5 and TAS2R38 are the bitter receptors most likely to play a role in the development and progress of ageing.
