Resumo
Objectives: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) promotes sustained weight loss, and the resulting new gastroin-testinal anatomy can contribute to nutritional depletions. Folate deficiency is one of the most frequently observed nutritional deficiencies after RYGB. The aim of this study was to assess whether RYGB affects the expression of genes related to the intestinal folate metabolism pathway as an additional molecular mecha-nism contributing to its postoperative deficiency. Methods: Biopsies from the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of 20 obese women were collected before and 3 mo after RYGB. The expression of genes involved in intestinal folate metabolism was assessed by microarray and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Folate intake (7-d food record) and plasma levels (electrochemiluminescence) also were measured. Results: Compared with the preoperative phase, transcriptomic alterations were observed in all intestinal segments studied after RYBG, mainly marked by decreased expression of genes encoding folate transporters/ receptors and increased expression of genes involved in folate biosynthesis (P < 0.05). Reduced folate intake and plasma folate levels were also observed simultaneously (P < 0.05). Plasma folate concentrations corre-lated inversely with intestinal FOLR2 and SHMT2 genes (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The present findings suggested that impaired expression of genes related to intestinal folate metabolism may contribute to the early systemic deficiency after RYGB and highlight a potential transcrip-tomic reprogramming of the intestine in response to RYGB to compensate for folate depletion induced by this surgical technique.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
