Human gut microbiota
▪ complex microbial community consisting of 100 trillion microbes in the intestine
▪ gut microbiota is essential to the health and well-being of the host
▪ gut microbiota fluctuates in response to nutritional uptake rather than remaining stable
▪ diet and medication is a key modulator in gut microbiota composition

Dietary intake, especially of
nondigestible carbohydrates, alters
the species composition of the gut microbiota both short term and
long term
![Page 5: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Dietary intake, especially of
nondigestible carbohydrates, alters
the species composition of the gut microbiota both short term and
long term…. leads to production of
short chain fatty acids:
acetic acidbutyric acid
propionic acid

Dietary intake, especially of
nondigestible carbohydrates, alters
the species composition of the gut microbiota both short term and
long term…. leads to
production of short chain fatty
acids:acetic acid
butyric acidpropionic acid
Propionate mainly produces glucose in
the liver.Acetate and butyrate are incorporated into other fatty acids and
cholesterol

Main principles of MMA/PA therapy
▪ prevent recurrent episodes of ketoacidosis and hyperammonaemia
▪ reduce accumulation of toxic tissue metabolites (organic acid compounds)
▪ support anabolism, normal growth and nutritional status
![Page 9: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Objectives of nutritional treatment
▪ substrate restriction: isoleucine, methionine, threonine and valine by natural protein restriction
▪ +/-MMA/PA-free amino acids
▪ maintain adequate energy intake
▪ limit fasting time to oxidation of odd chain fatty acids
▪ micronutrient/LCP supplementation
▪ maintain adequate hydration
▪ prevent catabolism during illness

Propionate production
▪ Biochemical pathways (acrylate, propanediol, and succinate) contribute to propionate formation by gut bacteria
▪ Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate▪ Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and Roseburia inulinivorans
Fucose and rhamnose are metabolized by the propanediol pathway

Impact of antibiotics
▪ aim: ↓ intestinal microbiota responsible for propionate production
▪ appear to ↓ levels of propionate in MMA/PA urine and plasma
▪ limited ‘supporting’ scientific data
▪ MMA/PA guidelines (2014) recommend metronidazole as an option to ↓ intestinal microbiota responsible for propionate production
![Page 15: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Impact of antibiotics
▪….but decrease bacterial population and diminish species diversity
▪ affecting balance of normal gut microbiota
odrug resistance
o toxicity/safety concerns
ometronidazole not effective in reducing faecal excretion of SCFA production (Hoverstad et al 1986)
![Page 16: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
L- carnitine
▪ L-carnitine compensates for secondary carnitine deficiency
▪ not absorbed until reaches the large intestine
▪ uptake of carnitine by the colon influenced by the gut microbial population
▪ low fibre intake can stimulate carnitine breakdown by enteric microbiota
▪ changed to trimethylamine (TMA)
▪ further metabolised to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)
▪ TMAO has been linked to atherosclerosis
![Page 17: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Constipation common in MMA/PA
▪ constipation contributes to metabolic instability
▪ constipation appears to precede decompensation
▪ ↑ time of bacterial contact with the stool in the gut
▪ ↓ fibre intake
▪ inadequate fluid
▪ ↓ gut motility
▪ ↓ physical activity /developmental delay
▪ muscle hypotonia
![Page 18: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Laxative therapy
▪ Patients (n =4) with PA given Senokot /gut motility agents:
- ↓ ammonia
- ↓ urinary excretion of propionyl glycine
- ↑ free and total carnitine
- suggestion: less propionate generated by shortening the time of bacterial contact with stool in the gut

Why low fibre intake in MMA/PA?
▪ low protein diet
▪ lack of cereal fibre
▪ lack of appetite
▪ nausea
▪ vomiting
▪ tube feeds
olow fibre intake =↓ production of short chain fatty acids
![Page 20: New diet concepts in Propionic acidaemia and Methyl ... · Propanediol pathway is an important source of gut propionate Present in Lachnospiraceae related to Ruminococcus spp. and](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c381b5c3c414c6f58c381/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Tube feeding
▪ amino acids (elemental diets) lack dietary fibre so may suppress colonic fermentation
▪ natural protein source: may be reluctance to use protein source with added fibre/prebiotics

▪ dietary fibres required to alleviate constipation
▪ known to influence the composition and activity of gut microbiota and,
consequently, the production of SCFA
▪ no evidence on an optimal fibre composition in PA patients

Discussion
▪ propionate, precursor of propionyl-CoA, is one of the main short chain fatty acids produced by gut microbiota
▪ several aspects of treatment may ‘negatively’ impact on gut microbiota
▪ no evidence about gut microbiota composition in PA/MMA patients
▪ studies now looking at microbiota composition and impact of different fibres on propionate production
