The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary biotin deficiency on the growth performance and immune function of the head kidney, spleen and skin in on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 540 on-growing grass carp (117.11 ± 0.48 g) were fed six diets containing increasing levels of biotin (0.012, 0.110, 0.214, 0.311, 0.427 and 0.518 mg/kg diet) for 70 days. Subsequently, a challenge experiment was performed by infecting them with Aeromonas hydrophila for six days. Our results showed that compared with the appropriate biotin level, (1) biotin deficiency (0.012 mg/kg diet) reduced the activities of lysozyme (LZ) and acid phosphatase (ACP), decreased the contents of complement 3 (C3), C4 and immunoglobulin M (IgM), as well as reduced the mRNA levels of antimicrobial peptides in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp; (2) biotin deficiency reduced the mRNA levels of anti-microbial substances: liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide (LEAP) -2A, LEAP-2B, hepcidin, β-defensin-1 and mucin 2 in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp; (3) biotin deficiency increased the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p40, IL-15, IL-17D, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interferon γ2 (IFN-γ2) partially in association with nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling and reduced anti-inflammatory IL-4/13A, IL-10, IL-11 and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA levels partially in association with target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp. Interestingly, biotin deficiency had no effect on the expression of IL-12p35, IL-4/13B, TGF-β2, 4E-BP1 (skin only) or IKKα in the head kidney, spleen and skin of on-growing grass carp. In conclusion, the results indicated that biotin deficiency impaired the immune function of the head kidney, spleen and skin in fish. Finally, based on the percent weight gain (PWG), the ability to prevent skin haemorrhages and lesions, the LZ activity in the head kidney and the C4 content in the spleen, the optimal dietary biotin levels for on-growing grass carp (117–534 g) were estimated as 0.210, 0.230, 0.245 and 0.238 mg/kg diet, respectively. • Biotin deficiency decreased growth performance and skin disease resistance of fish. • Biotin deficiency depressed non-specific and specific immune components in fish. • Biotin deficiency aggravated fish inflammation response involving cytokines. • Dietary biotin regulated NF-κB and TOR signalling of fish immune organs.

The sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (hSMVT) encoded by the SLC5A6 gene is required for the intestinal absorption of biotin, pantothenic acid and lipoate, three micronutrients essential for normal growth and development. Systemic deficiency of these elements, either occurring from nutritional causes or genetic defects, is associated with neurological disorders, growth delay, skin and hair changes, metabolic and immunological abnormalities. A few patients with biallelic variants of SLC5A6 have been reported, exhibiting a spectrum of neurological and systemic clinical features with variable severity. We describe three patients from a single family carrying a homozygous p.(Leu566Valfs*33) variant of SLC5A6 disrupting the frame of the C-terminal portion of the hSMVT. In these patients, we documented a severe disorder featuring developmental delay, sensory polyneuropathy, optic atrophy, recurrent infections, and repeated episodes of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Two patients who did not receive multivitamin supplementation therapy died in early infancy. In a third patient, early supplementation of biotin and pantothenic acid stabilized the clinical picture changing the course of the disease. These findings extend genotype-phenotype correlations and show how a timely and lifelong multivitamin treatment may be crucial to reduce the risk of life-threatening events in patients with pathogenic variants of the SLC5A6 gene.

Background: Biotin is a water-solutions vitamin used for five mammalian carboxylases as an important coenzyme. It has a major role in fatty acids, amino acids and glucose metabolism. It is a popular dietary supplement for the treatment of fragile nails and hair loss. Objectives: The present research aimed at evaluating patients with or without biotin deficiency in telegon effluvium and determining after 3 months the impact of biotin replacement treatment. Methods: 130 patients with Telegon Efluvium (group A) and 120 healthy individuals (group B) served as a control group were studied. Methods: Those subjects who had been subjected to biotin treatment three months before the survey and reported additional hair loss reasons were eliminated. All patients were assessed for hair loss by clinical diagnosis before and after replacement treatment (hair pull test and Dermoscopic evaluation). The biotin level of serum was measured using commercially available immunosorbent assay kits. Results: Mean biotin serum levels were lower than controls between the two groups in a group. The impact of biotin replacement treatment has shown that better cases are 51.5%, improved cases are 34.6% and missing cases 13.8%. Patients with insufficient serum biotin levels were substantially improved, while non-improved cases with optimum blood biotin concentrations were significantly identified. Conclusion: Our results indicate that biotin addition had a substantial impact on hair loss, particularly in individuals with telegon effluvium who had deficiencies or inadequate biotin levels.

Patients with biotin deficiency present symptoms that are similar to those in patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica (inherent zinc deficiency). However, the association between biotin and zinc deficiency remains unknown. We have previously shown that epidermal keratinocytes of mice fed zinc-deficient (ZD) diets secreted more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) than those of mice fed zinc-adequate (ZA) diets and that epidermal Langerhans cells are absent in ZD mice. Langerhans cells highly express CD39, which potently hydrolyzes ATP into adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Thus, a lack of Langerhans cells in ZD mice leads to non-hydrolysis of ATP, thereby leading to the development of ATP-mediated irritant contact dermatitis. In this study, we examined if biotin-deficient (BD) mice showed the same underlying mechanisms as those in ZD mice. BD mice showed reduced serum zinc levels, disappearance of epidermal Langerhans cells, and enhanced ATP production in the skin. Consequently, irritant contact dermatitis was significantly enhanced and prolonged in BD mice. In conclusion, the findings of our study showed that biotin deficiency leads to zinc deficiency because of which patients with biotin deficiency show similar symptoms as those with acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Background It is important to assess pediatric patients for nutritional deficiency when they are receiving specific interventions, such as enteral feeding. We focused on measurement of C0 and 3-hydroxyisovalerylcarnitine (C5- OH) with tandem mass spectrometry ( MS/ MS), which is performed as part of the newborn mass screening. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of MS/ MS for screening carnitine and biotin deficiencies. Methods Forty-two children (24 boys, 18 girls) were enrolled between December 2013 and December 2015. Blood tests, including measurement of serum free carnitine via the enzyme cycling method, and acylcarnitine analysis on MS/ MS of dried blood spot ( DBS), were performed for the evaluation of nutrition status. Results Median patient age was 2 years (range, 2 months-14 years). Mean serum free carnitine was 41.8 ± 19.2 μmol/L. In six of the 42 patients, serum free carnitine was <20 μmol/L (range, 4.0-18.7 μmol/L). C0 and C5- OH measured on MS/ MS of DBS were 33.8 ± 20.2 nmol/ mL and 0.48 ± 0.22 nmol/ mL, respectively. There was a strong positive correlation ( r = 0.89, P < 0.001) between serum free carnitine and C0 measured on the same day. In one patient on hydrolyzed formula, C5- OH was >1.00 nmol/L. Therapy-resistant eczema was improved by treatment with additional biotin and a non-hydrolyzed formula. Conclusion C0 and C5- OH, measured on MS/ MS of DBS, were useful for screening carnitine and biotin deficiencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Thermal stress limits beef cattle production and a shorter hair coat is a key thermoregulative adaptation that allows cattle to lose heat more efficiently. The objective of this study was to identify genetic variants associated with the length of the undercoat and topcoat of cattle utilizing 1456 Brangus heifers genotyped with the Bovine GGP F250 array. Seven SNPs in the PCCA gene were significantly associated with undercoat length. PCCA belongs to the biotin transport and metabolism pathway. Biotin deficiency has been reported to cause hair loss. Four SNPs in an 110 kb including a missense mutation in the PRLR gene were significantly associated with topcoat length. Whereas the association of this polymorphism with hair length is novel, the SLICK mutation in PRLR has previously been demonstrated to significantly impact hair length in cattle. These newly detected genetic variants may contribute to a shorter hair coat and more thermotolerant animals.

Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that functions as a cofactor of five carboxylases. Because biotin-dependent carboxylases catalyze indispensable cellular metabolic functions, biotin deficiency is considered to be involved in various pathological conditions. Moreover, biotin supplementation shows pharmacological effects in vivo. However, the precise mechanisms by which biotin deficiency induces pathological conditions remain unclear. Although abnormal metabolites are used as indicators for biotin deficiency, few comprehensive analyses of total metabolites have been reported. In this study, we analyzed the metabolomic profiles of liver extracts prepared from biotin-sufficient (BS) and -deficient (BD) mice. Thirteen of 126 metabolites showed significantly different concentrations between liver extracts from BD and BS mice. The concentrations of 5 essential amino acids, Met, Val, Thr, Ile, and Leu, and 2 conditionally essential amino acids, Cys and Tyr were significantly lower in BD mice than in BS mice. Among these, the concentrations of sulfur-containing amino acids, Cys and Met, were more than 1.5-fold lower in BD mice. The concentrations of Met metabolites, such as S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine were not significantly different between the two groups. The concentrations of glutathione and its reaction intermediates γ-Glu-Cys tendency to be lower in BD mice. The present study revealed that biotin deficiency induces an abnormal amino acids composition, especially among sulfur-containing amino acids and provide important information on the effect of biotin as a pharmacological agent.

Background & Aims Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that is indispensable for human health. Biotin deficiency can cause failure-to-thrive, immunodeficiency, alopecia, dermatitis, and conjunctivitis. We previously reported that biotin deficiency also can lead to severe colitis in mice, which is completely reversed with supplementation. Our aim in this study was to determine if high-dose biotin supplementation can provide a therapeutic benefit in a preclinical model for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to identify the molecular mechanism by which this occurs. Methods Mice were challenged with dextran sodium sulfate to induce colitis and were treated with 1 mmol/L biotin to induce or maintain remission. Clinical response was monitored by the Disease Activity Index and fecal calprotectin levels. The colon tissue was investigated for histology, length, as well as expression of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin 1β), intestinal permeability, tight junctions (zonula occludens-1 and claudin-2), and the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). Results Biotin therapy led to delayed onset and severity of colitis as well as accelerated healing. There was improvement in the Disease Activity Index, fecal calprotectin levels, colon length, and histology. In addition, biotin-treated mice had reduced expression of inflammatory cytokines, reduced intestinal permeability, and reduced activation of NF-κB. Conclusions Oral supplementation with biotin provides benefit for maintenance and induction of remission in the dextran sodium sulfate preclinical model for IBD. Biotin does this by reducing the activation of NF-κB, which prevents the production of inflammatory cytokines and helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Clinically, the NF-κB pathway is important in the development of IBD and this finding suggests that biotin may have therapeutic potential for patients with IBD., Graphical abstract

Background : Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that plays various biological roles through histone modification, such as immune functions and fetal growth. Mammalian maternal biotin deficiency during gestation induces fetal growth restriction. Preterm infants are known to be marginal biotin deficiency. However, studies on the biotin status of pregnant women under various conditions are lacking. Method : This was a retrospective case control study to analyze serum biotin concentration during pregnancy and cord blood in normal pregnancy, preterm delivery and small-for-gestational-age (SGA). Results : Twenty pregnant women with normal term delivery, 35 with preterm delivery, 24 with SGA, and 10 non-pregnant adult women were enrolled. Serum biotin concentrations of pregnant women remained low from first to third trimester. The levels of serum biotin in cord blood showed a significant positive correlation with gestational age, and that of pregnant women showed a weak positive correlation with gestational age. The maternal serum biotin levels during second and third trimester of SGA group were significantly lower than those of normal term delivery. Conclusion : This study suggests that maternal biotin deficiency during pregnancy might be the risk of preterm labor or fetal growth restriction. Further studies are required to clarify the roles of biotin in perinatal medicine. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 170-173, February, 2020.

Background: Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, has demonstrable anti-inflammatory properties. A biotin-deficient diet induced a colitis-like phenotype in mice, alleviable by biotin substitution. Mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis showed biotin deficiency and diminished levels of sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, a protein involved in biotin absorption. Biotin substitution induced remission by reducing activation of NF-κB, a transcription factor involved in intestinal permeability and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We investigated for the first time a possible clinical role of biotin status in IBD. Methods: In a comparative, retrospective, cross-sectional study, serum samples of 138 patients with IBD (67 female; 72 Crohn’s disease (CD), 66 ulcerative colitis (UC)) aged 18–65 years and with a mean age (±SD) of 42.5 ± 14.3 years as well as 80 healthy blood donors (40 female; 40.0 ± 10.0 years; range 20–60 years) were analyzed. Inflammation was defined as hsCRP ≥5 mg/L, and to determine biotin status, serum 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine (3HIVc) levels were measured by LC-MS/MS. Results: A total of 138 patients with IBD (67f; 72CD/66 UC; 42.5 ± 14.3 years) were enrolled: 83/138 had inflammation. Mean serum 3HIVc levels were significantly higher in IBD patients but unaffected by inflammation. Biotin deficiency (95th percentile of controls: >30 nmol/L 3HIVc) was significantly more common in IBD patients versus controls. Conclusion: High serum 3HIVc levels and biotin deficiency were associated with IBD but not inflammatory activity or disease type. Our findings suggest biotin may play a role as cause or effect in IBD pathogenesis. Routine assessment and supplementation of biotin may ameliorate IBD and support intestinal integrity.

The B vitamins provide essential co-factors for central metabolism in all organisms. In plants, B vitamins have surprising emerging roles in development, stress tolerance and pathogen resistance. Hence, there is a paramount interest in understanding the regulation of vitamin biosynthesis as well as the consequences of vitamin deficiency in crop species. To facilitate genetic analysis of B vitamin biosynthesis and functions in maize, we have mined the UniformMu transposon resource to identify insertional mutations in vitamin pathway genes. A screen of 190 insertion lines for seed and seedling phenotypes identified mutations in biotin, pyridoxine and niacin biosynthetic pathways. Importantly, isolation of independent insertion alleles enabled genetic confirmation of genotype-to-phenotype associations. Because B vitamins are essential for survival, null mutations often have embryo lethal phenotypes that prevent elucidation of subtle, but physiologically important, metabolic consequences of sub-optimal (functional) vitamin status. To circumvent this barrier, we demonstrate a strategy for refined genetic manipulation of vitamin status based on construction of heterozygotes that combine strong and hypomorphic mutant alleles. Dosage analysis of pdx2 alleles in endosperm revealed that endosperm supplies pyridoxine to the developing embryo. Similarly, a hypomorphic bio1 allele enabled analysis of transcriptome and metabolome responses to incipient biotin deficiency in seedling leaves. We show that systemic pipecolic acid accumulation is an early metabolic response to sub-optimal biotin status highlighting an intriguing connection between biotin, lysine metabolism and systemic disease resistance signaling. Seed-stocks carrying insertions for vitamin pathway genes are available for free, public distribution via the Maize Genetics Cooperation Stock Center.

Biotin is a water-soluble B complex vitamin and coenzyme of five types of carboxylase and plays crucial roles in fatty acid, glucose, and amino acid metabolism. Nutritional biotin deficiency and defective enzymes essential for biotin metabolism cause inflammatory diseases such as eczema-like dermatitis and Crohn's disease; however, little is known about the pathophysiological roles of biotin. This study investigated the relationship between biotin metabolism and human allergic sensitization and diseases by measuring serum levels of biotin, total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and allergen-specific IgEs in more than 400 Japanese schoolchildren aged 6 to 12. The prevalence of allergic diseases, and environmental and life-style factors were also examined by a questionnaire. Like total IgE, serum biotin levels of children showed a log-normal distribution. Meanwhile, Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed weak but significant positive associations between serum biotin levels and total IgE (rho=0.147, p=0.0029) as well as allergen-specific IgEs against egg whites (rho=0.215, p=0.00013), cedar pollen (rho=0.176, p=0.00036), and cat dander (rho=0.130, p=0.0085). Furthermore, mean serum biotin levels in children with cedar pollinosis, but not with other allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, were significantly higher than in those without (p=0.0015). These results suggest a correlation between serum biotin levels and the development of cedar pollinosis. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the causal relationship between biotin metabolism and cedar pollen sensitization and pollinosis development.

A 7-month-old girl was brought to hospital due to vomiting. Upon admission, she was in a convulsive state and stupor with extremely low blood glucose. Head computed tomography showed brain edema, and comprehensive treatment for acute encephalopathy was initiated immediately. Severe hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, elevation of ammonia and serum transaminases and creatine kinase suggested metabolic decompensation. Infusion of a high-glucose solution containing vitamins, biotin, and l-carnitine resolved the metabolic crisis quickly, but brain damage was irreversible. She was found to have been fed exclusively on a hypoallergenic formula (HF) for 7 months, although she was found later to be non-allergic. Evidence of inborn metabolic diseases was absent, therefore biotin deficiency and carnitine deficiency were concluded to be a consequence of reliance on a HF for a prolonged period. Health-care professionals should warn parents of the consequences of using HF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Biotin is an indispensable adipogenic agent, and its ability to coordinate carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism sensitizes insulin signaling in adipocytes. This enables the organism to adapt and survive under nutrient stress by synthesis and storage of lipids. Biotin deficiency mimics insulin resistance with alterations in cellular intermediary metabolism. Though the mechanism of lipogenesis is well established across cell types, considering its predisposition to accumulate only lipids, it is necessary to elucidate the mechanism that minimizes the effects of biotin on adipocyte protein synthesis. In order to determine the differential metabolic phenotype by biotin, the primary cultures of adipocytes were induced to differentiate in the presence and absence of excess biotin. Serum pre-incubated with avidin was used to limit biotin availability in cultured cells. Biotin restricts cellular signaling associated with protein synthesis without altering total protein content. The decline in autophagy elicits endoplasmic reticulum stress to inhibit protein synthesis by eIF2α phosphorylation possibly via accumulation of misfolded/long-lived proteins. Furthermore, the compensatory increase in Unc51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 possibly competes with eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 and ribosomal p70 S6kinase phosphorylation by mechanistic targets of rapamycin complex 1 to uncouple its effect on protein synthesis. In conclusion, autophagy inhibition by biotin uncouples protein synthesis to promote lipogenesis by eliciting endoplasmic reticulum stress and differential phosphorylation of mechanistic targets of rapamycin complex 1 substrates.

Background: Leucine is an essential amino acid and a potent stimulator of muscle protein synthesis. Since muscle wasting is a major risk factor for mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), dietary leucine intake might be linked to long-term mortality. Urinary 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine (3-HIC) excretion, a functional marker of marginal biotin deficiency, may also serve as a marker for dietary leucine intake.Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the cross-sectional determinants of urinary 3-HIC excretion and to prospectively investigate the association of urinary 3-HIC excretion with all-cause mortality in KTR.Design: Urinary 3-HIC excretion and plasma biotin were measured in a longitudinal cohort of 694 stable KTR. Cross-sectional and prospective analyses were performed using ordinary least squares linear regression analyses and Cox regression analyses, respectively.Results: In KTR (57% male, 53 +/- 13 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate 45 +/- 19 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), urinary 3-HIC excretion (0.80 [0.57-1.16] mu mol/24 h) was significantly associated with plasma biotin (std. beta = -0.17; P < 0.001). Subsequent adjustment for potential covariates revealed urinary creatinine excretion (std. beta = 0.24; P < 0.001) and urinary urea excretion (std. beta = 0.53; P < 0.001) as the primary determinant of urinary 3-HIC excretion. Whereas plasma biotin explained only 1% of the variance in urinary 3-HIC excretion, urinary urea excretion explained >45%. During median follow-up for 5.4 [4.8-6.1] years, 150 (22%) patients died. Log(2)-transformed urinary 3-HIC excretion was inversely associated with all-cause mortality (HR: 0.52 [0.43-0.63]; P < 0.001). This association was independent of potential confounders.Conclusions: Urinary 3-HIC excretion more strongly serves as a marker of leucine intake than of biotin status. A higher urinary 3-HIC excretion is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Future studies are warranted to explore the underlying mechanism. (C) 2020 The Authors.

Biotin (or Vitamin B7) is a vitamin where deficiency can be caused by inadequate intake. Biotin deficiency is rare, as most people get enough biotin from diet, since many foods contain biotin. In addition to biotin from food, intestinal bacteria can synthesize biotin, which can then be absorbed by the body. Supplementation with biotin has been advocated, mainly due to proposed beneficial effects on skin, nail and hair growth. There is no evidence that high biotin intakes are toxic, but a high intake may interfere with diagnostic assays that use biotin-streptavidin technology. These tests are commonly used to measure plasma concentrations of a wide range of hormones. Erroneous results may lead to misdiagnosis of various endocrine disorders. Supplementation with high-dose biotin has been used experimental for the treatment of diseases (e.g. multiple sclerosis) and high doses are used to obtain effect on nail and hair growth. On this background a demand for tests to determine if there is a risk of obtaining false test results when using biotin-streptavidin based tests have appeared. In this paper we present a method based on column switching liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for the quantification of biotin in plasma and serum and explore the effects of biotin on an immunoassay based on biotin strept(avidin) chemistry.

Mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction are often implicated in neurological disease, but effective mechanism-based therapies remain elusive. We performed a genome-scale forward genetic screen in a Drosophila model of tauopathy, a class of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of the protein tau, and identified manipulation of the B-vitamin biotin as a potential therapeutic approach in tauopathy. We show that tau transgenic flies have an innate biotin deficiency due to tau-mediated relaxation of chromatin and consequent aberrant expression of multiple biotin-related genes, disrupting both carboxylase and mitochondrial function. Biotin depletion alone causes mitochondrial pathology and neurodegeneration in both flies and human neurons, implicating mitochondrial dysfunction as a mechanism in biotin deficiency. Finally, carboxylase biotin levels are reduced in mammalian tauopathies, including brains of human Alzheimer's disease patients. These results provide insight into pathogenic mechanisms of human biotin deficiency, the resulting effects on neuronal health, and a potential therapeutic pathway in the treatment of tau-mediated neurotoxicity.

Biotin is widely used in infant formula to prevent biotin deficiency of newborn babies and in beauty products as nutritional supplements for coenzymatic functions and having strong nails, shiny hair, and skin over the last few years. There is a need for the development of a fast, simple and reusable assay method to perform biotin determination at very low concentrations. Biotin determination has achieved with a prepared potentiometric biotin sensor that has a very wide concentration range (10−15 M–10−7 M) and a lower detection limit (0.3 10−15 M) with a very good regression coefficient (0.9925). A quick response (7 min), good accuracy (recovery 100.4–103.7%), reproducible, reusable (10 times), and long-term stability (3 months) have been obtained using the prepared potentiometric sensor. The obtained results have proved that the prepared potentiometric sensor can be used for biotin determination in real samples.

Background Biotin, a water-soluble B-vitamin, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. A biotin-deficient diet was recently shown to induce a colitis-like phenotype in mice, alleviated by biotin substitution. Mice with DSS colitis showed biotin deficiency and significantly reduced levels of SDMT, a protein involved in biotin absorption. Oral biotin substitution reversed DSS colitis and induced remission by inhibiting NF-κB, a transcription factor that hinders inflammatory cytokine expression and plays a role in intestinal barrier integrity and IBD. We investigated for the first time a possible clinical role of biotin status in IBD. Methods In a comparative, cross-sectional study, serum samples of IBD patients were compared with samples of 80 healthy blood donors (40f;18-65y). CBC, albumin and hsCRP were determined by standard tests and samples assessed for presence/absence of inflammation (serum hsCRP, cutoff Results 138 IBD patients (67f;72 CD/66 UC;42.5±14.3y) were enrolled. Of these, 83/138 had inflammation (39f;43CD/40UC;42.5±14.6y) and 55/138 no inflammation (28f;29CD/26UC;42.5±13.9y). In IBD patients, mean serum 3HIAc levels were significantly higher vs. controls but similar with vs. without inflammation (Table 1). The reference serum 3HIAc level was calculated as 11.0–27.3 nmol/L from controls; biotin deficiency was defined as >27.3 nmol/L 3HIAc (90thPC), since no validated cut-off exists. Biotin deficiency in IBD patients was significantly greater than in controls (Table 1). Conclusion High serum 3HIAc levels were associated with IBD. In line with preclinical studies, biotin deficiency was more pronounced in IBD patients than controls. No relation was found with inflammatory activity or disease type. Our findings suggest that biotin may have a bigger role than thought in IBD; whether as a cause or effect in IBD pathogenesis warrants investigation. Routine assessment and correction of biotin status may ameliorate IBD and help maintain intestinal integrity. Table 1: 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine levels and biotin deficiency

INSULIN resistance , *BIOTIN , *GLUCOSE , *LABORATORY rats , *PHOSPHORYLATION - Abstract
We have reported an early decrease in glycemia in rats fed a biotin-deficient diet with reduced cellular ATP levels, suggesting increased insulin sensitivity. Here, we show that biotin-deprived rats are more tolerant of glucose, as shown by both oral and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests, during which insulin plasma levels were significantly diminished in deficient rats compared with controls. Biotin-deficient rats had lower blood glucose concentrations during intraperitoneal insulin sensitivity tests than controls. Furthermore, more glucose was infused to maintain euglycemia in the biotin-deficient rats during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp studies. These results demonstrate augmented sensitivity to insulin in biotin-deprived rats. They are most likely the consequence of an insulin-independent effect of AMPK activation on GLUT4 membrane translocation with increased glucose uptake. In biotin-deficient cultured L6 muscle cells, there was increased phosphorylation of the energy sensor AMPK. We have now confirmed the augmented AMPK activation in both biotin-deprived in vivo muscle and cultured muscle cells. In these cells, glucose uptake is increased by AMPK activation by AICAR and diminished by its knockdown by the specific siRNAs directed against its α1- and α2-catalytic subunits, with all of these effects being largely independent of the activity of the insulin-signaling pathway that was inhibited with wortmannin. The enhanced insulin sensitivity in biotin deficiency likely has adaptive value for organisms due to the hormone promotion of uptake and utilization of not only glucose but other nutrients such as branched-chain amino acids, whose deficiency has been reported to increase insulin tolerance.

Cells obtain free energy by the catabolism of nutrients as glucose and fatty acids and use that energy to make ATP, which is used for many functions. For the generation of ATP there are several components, among them the cofactors biotin and thiamine. To obtain that energy under aerobic conditions, it is necessary to have acetyl CoA whose precursor is coenzyme A derived from pantothenic acid. In the case of biotin, it is the prosthetic group of five carboxylases that are important in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Endogenous biotin is recycled by the action of biotinidase, which is reused by holocarboxylase synthetase. There are several genetic diseases related to biotin, among them a mutation of the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter and multiple carboxylase deficiencies including biotinidase deficiency. Deprivation of biotin diminishes the mRNAs of liver glucokinase and increases that of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Biotin also seems to be necessary for the normal progression of cells through the cell cycle, with deficient cells arresting in the cell cycle 1 phase. It also affects the expression of genes for carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, which is probably mediated by the activation of AMPK, the cellular energy sensor. Biotin deficiency increases insulin sensitivity by increased translocation of the transporter of glucose GLUT4.

Biotin is an essential vitamin that is covalently bound to carboxylases as coenzyme. Biotin-dependent carboxylases are a group of enzymes which are involved in a variety of cellular metabolic process, including fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis; therefore, biotin deficiency may play an essential role for the metabolic abnormalities involved in inflammatory and immunological diseases. Biotin deficiency is quite rare because biotin is produced from gut microbiota in the human body and is also available from various food sources. However, some conditions, including inherited metabolic diseases, may lead to biotin deficiency. It is crucial to detect biotin deficiency as early as possible in clinical practice and recent studies have proposed screening methods for biotin deficiency. Plasma concentrations of 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine, urinary excretions of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid and 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine, as well as measurement of biotinylated 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase are all useful for screening for biotin deficiency.

There are three inherited biotin-responsive inherited disorders, holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency, biotinidase deficiency, and biotin–thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease. Most importantly, the symptoms of each disorder can be improved or prevented by early detection and treatment with pharmacological doses of biotin (more than 1 mg of biotin/day). Untreated, symptomatic individuals usually develop a variety of neurological symptoms, some of which are caused by secondary biotin deficiency or the accumulation of abnormal organic acids associated with multiple carboxylase deficiency. In one of these disorders, although biotin is beneficial, its actual function is still speculative. In addition, there are two single case reports of individuals with biotin-responsive disorders due to biotin-transport defects. This chapter will discuss these biotin-responsive disorders.

Abstract: Biotin is the prosthetic group of carboxylases that have important roles in the metabolism of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids. Biotinidase has a key role in the reutilization of the biotin, catalyzing the hydrolysis of biocytin (ε-N-biotinyl-l-lysine) and biocytin-containing peptides derived from carboxylase turnover, thus contributing substantially to the bioavailability of this vitamin. Deficient activity of biotinidase causes late-onset multiple carboxylase in humans, whose pathogenic mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we show that a knock-out biotinidase-deficient mouse from a C57BL/6 background that was fed a low biotin diet develops severe ATP deficit with activation of the energy sensor adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), inhibition of the signaling protein mTOR, driver of protein synthesis and growth, and affecting the expression of central-carbon metabolism genes. In addition, sensitivity to insulin is augmented. These changes are similar to those observed in nutritionally biotin-starved rats. These findings further our understanding of the pathogenesis of human biotinidase deficiency. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Low-molecular-weight vitamin biotin is an essential nutrient substance for all animal normal growth. Previous exploration has documented that dietary biotin deficiency led to fish growth retardation and a decrease in immunity, whereas its detrimental impacts on fish other physiological status were still not revealed yet. Herein, further exploration was performed to excavate the latent influence of dietary biotin deficiency on antioxidant status, apoptosis and tight junction protein of immune organs (the skin, spleen and head kidney). In this research, grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) (117.11 ± 0.48 g) as a model were fed six graded levels of biotin diets (0.012, 0.110, 0.214, 0.311, 0.427 and 0.518 mg/kg diet) in triplicate for 70 days, followed by a challenge with A. hydrophila for 6 days. Our data from above three immune organs manifested that biotin deficiency (0.012 mg/kg diet): (1) markedly increased oxidative damage degree as evidenced by the obtained highest value in all oxidative damage indicators and exhibited the lowest significant value in almost all antioxidant enzymes activities and corresponding gene expressions, where this action may be in part correlated with the modulation of Nrf2 signaling (P 0.05). Furthermore, a broken line analysis showed that dietary biotin requirement levels for on-growing grass carp is 0.245–0.354 mg/kg diet for parameters (ROS content, caspase3 and claudin-3c expression levels).

Biotin (vitamin B7) is essential for human health because of its involvement, as a cofactor, in a variety of critical cellular metabolic reactions. Previous studies have shown that biotin deficiency enhances inflammation, and certain chronic inflammatory diseases are associated with biotin deficiency; however, the mechanisms that mediate the association between biotin status and inflammation are not well understood. In this study, we examined the effect of biotin deficiency on human CD4+ T cell responses to determine their role in biotin deficiency–associated inflammation. Our investigations revealed that anti-CD3/CD28–stimulated CD4+ T cells cultured in biotin-deficient medium secreted significantly enhanced levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, TNF, and IL-17. Expression of the transcription factors T-bet and RORγt was increased, whereas Foxp3 expression was decreased, in biotin-deficient CD4+ T cells. The percentage of T regulatory cells was also decreased under biotin-deficient condition. A similar increase in T-bet, RORγt, and proinflammatory cytokine levels, as well as a decrease in Foxp3, was observed in inguinal lymph nodes of mice fed a biotin-deficient diet relative to pair-fed controls. Furthermore, differentiation of CD4+ T cells toward Th1 and Th17 cells was also enhanced. In vitro and in vivo investigations indicated that the increased inflammatory response was due to enhanced activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway in biotin-deficient CD4+ T cells. In summary, these results demonstrate that biotin deficiency enhances the inflammatory responses in CD4+ T cells, which may contribute to inflammation associated with biotin deficiency.

Background: Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, has demonstrable anti-inflammatory properties. A biotin-deficient diet induced a colitis-like phenotype in mice, alleviable by biotin substitution. Mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis showed biotin deficiency and diminished levels of sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, a protein involved in biotin absorption. Biotin substitution induced remission by reducing activation of NF-κB, a transcription factor involved in intestinal permeability and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We investigated for the first time a possible clinical role of biotin status in IBD. Methods: In a comparative, retrospective, cross-sectional study, serum samples of 138 patients with IBD (67 female; 72 Crohn's disease (CD), 66 ulcerative colitis (UC)) aged 18–65 years and with a mean age (±SD) of 42.5 ± 14.3 years as well as 80 healthy blood donors (40 female; 40.0 ± 10.0 years; range 20–60 years) were analyzed. Inflammation was defined as hsCRP ≥5 mg/L, and to determine biotin status, serum 3-hydroxyisovaleryl carnitine (3HIVc) levels were measured by LC-MS/MS. Results: A total of 138 patients with IBD (67f; 72CD/66 UC; 42.5 ± 14.3 years) were enrolled: 83/138 had inflammation. Mean serum 3HIVc levels were significantly higher in IBD patients but unaffected by inflammation. Biotin deficiency (95th percentile of controls: >30 nmol/L 3HIVc) was significantly more common in IBD patients versus controls. Conclusion: High serum 3HIVc levels and biotin deficiency were associated with IBD but not inflammatory activity or disease type. Our findings suggest biotin may play a role as cause or effect in IBD pathogenesis. Routine assessment and supplementation of biotin may ameliorate IBD and support intestinal integrity.

COVID-19 pandemic has become the major health problem in 2020 worldwide and no treatment or cure has been developed until now, however medical doctors use approved anti-viral drugs alone or in combination to treat patients infected by COVID-19. Thus, the outcome and the information of the applied treatments are changing daily basis. One of the changes in the COVID-19 patients has been depilation of the eyebrow and eyelashes. Biotin is a vital cofactor for biotin-dependent enzymes for fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose metabolism. It is known that, biotin deficiency may cause loss of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. However, either COVID-19 infection or treatment against to cure this infection cause impairment in the biotin metabolism that should be further investigated to better understand possible mechanisms behind the COVID-19 infection and outcomes of the treatment approach to treat it. COVID-19 salgını 2020 yılında dünya çapındaki en büyük sağlık sorunu haline gelmiştir ve günümüze kadar hiçbir çare veya tedavi geliştirilmemiştir. Ancak tıp doktorları COVID-19 ile enfekte olmuş hastaları tedavi etmek için tek başına veya kombinasyon halinde onaylanmış antiviral ilaçların kullanımına başlamıştır. Bu nedenle uygulanan tedavilerin elde edilen sonucuna göre tedaviler günlük olarak değişmektedir. Bir COVID-19 hastasında tedavi sonucunda, kaş ve kirpiklerinde dökülme meydana gelmiştir. Biotin, yağ asitleri, amino asitler ve glukoz metabolizmasında biotine bağımlı enzimler için gerekli bir kofaktördür. Biotin eksikliğinin saç, kaş ve kirpik de dökülmeye neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte, COVID-19 enfeksiyonu veya bu enfeksiyonu iyileştirmeye yönelik uygulanan tedavi, biotin metabolizmasında bozulmaya neden olabilir, COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun arkasındaki olası mekanizmaları ve onu tedavi etmek için uygulanan tedavi yaklaşımının sonuçlarını daha iyi anlamak için daha fazla araştırılması gerekmektedir.

Abstract: Biotin deficiency (Bt-D) is usually studied at the point at which the animal model exhibits the signs of full-blown deficiency symptoms; in rats, this typically occurs at 6–8weeks of feeding a deficient diet. To differentiate specific deficiency effects from those of undernutrition, biotin sufficient and deficient rats were studied at 2, 3, 4, and 5weeks on the deficiency diet, before the onset of weight loss and deficiency signs. The deficiency state was confirmed by biochemical and molecular analyses. Blood and liver metabolites were determined and western blots of signaling proteins, and qRT-PCR gene expression studies. The main effects of Bt-D were already well established by the fourth week on the diet; thus, we consider the fourth week as the optimum time to study the consequences of biotin depletion. Early effects, which were already apparent at week 2, included cellular energy deficit (as assessed by increased AMP/ATP ratio), activation of the AMPK energy sensor, and changes of carbon metabolism gene transcripts (e.g., phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1, liver glucokinase and fatty acid synthetase). Reduced post-prandial blood concentrations of glucose were also observed early; we speculate that these are attributable to augmented sensitivity to insulin and increased glucose utilization, a likely effect of AMPK induction of translocation of glucose transporter GLUT4 to the cell membranes and increased hexokinase expression. Other late-onset changes (week 4) included increased serum concentrations of lactate and free fatty acids and decreased liver glycogen and serum concentrations of triglycerides and total cholesterol. The identification of the early specific molecular and metabolic disturbances of biotin deficiency might be useful in identifying individuals with marginal deficiency of this vitamin, which appears to be common in normal human pregnancy. The study of time-course of other vitamin deficiencies, such as this one, might help to better understand and cope with their effects. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

A total of 1400 juvenile Jian carp ( Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) (7.72 ± 0.02 g) were fed seven purified diets containing 0.010 (basal diet), 0.028, 0.054, 0.151, 0.330, 1.540 and 2.680 mg biotin kg−1 for 63 days to investigate the effects of biotin on growth, body composition, intestinal enzyme activities and microbiota. Specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake, feed efficiency and protein retention value were the highest when dietary biotin level was 0.151 mg kg−1 diet. Crude protein, lipid and ash content of fish carcass improved with increasing dietary biotin levels up to 0.054, 0.151 and 0.028 mg kg−1 diet, respectively ( P < 0.05). Intestinal folds height, trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, amylase, alkaline phosphatase, Na+, K+-ATPase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and creatinekinase activities increased with dietary biotin levels up to 0.151-0.330 mg kg−1 diet ( P < 0.05). Intestinal Aeromonas and Escherichia coli significantly decreased with increasing dietary biotin up to 0.151 mg kg−1 diet, while Lactobacillus and Bacillus significantly increased with dietary biotin levels up to 0.054 and 0.151 mg kg−1 diet, respectively. In conclusion, biotin could improve digestive and absorptive ability of fish, and the dietary biotin requirement for SGR of juvenile Jian carp (7.72-32.67 g) was 0.15 mg kg−1 diet.

Abstract: Several studies have revealed that physiological concentrations of biotin are required for the normal expression of critical carbohydrate metabolism genes and for glucose homeostasis. However, the different experimental models used in these studies make it difficult to integrate the effects of biotin deficiency on glucose metabolism. To further investigate the effects of biotin deficiency on glucose metabolism, we presently analyzed the effect of biotin deprivation on glucose homeostasis and on pancreatic islet morphology. Three-week-old male BALB/cAnN Hsd mice were fed a biotin-deficient or a biotin-control diet (0 or 7.2 μmol of free biotin/kg diet, respectively) over a period of 8 weeks. We found that biotin deprivation caused reduced concentrations of blood glucose and serum insulin concentrations, but increased plasma glucagon levels. Biotin-deficient mice also presented impaired glucose and insulin tolerance tests, indicating defects in insulin sensitivity. Altered insulin signaling was linked to a decrease in phosphorylated Akt/PKB but induced no change in insulin receptor abundance. Islet morphology studies revealed disruption of islet architecture due to biotin deficiency, and an increase in the number of α-cells in the islet core. Morphometric analyses found increased islet size, number of islets and glucagon-positive area, but a decreased insulin-positive area, in the biotin-deficient group. Glucagon secretion and gene expression increased in islets isolated from biotin-deficient mice. Our results suggest that biotin deficiency promotes hyperglycemic mechanisms such as increased glucagon concentration and decreased insulin secretion and sensitivity to compensate for reduced blood glucose concentrations. Variations in glucose homeostasis may participate in the changes observed in pancreatic islets. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the main ATP provider for the heart. TCA carbons must be replenished by anaplerosis for normal cardiac function. Biotin is cofactor of the anaplerotic enzymes pyruvate and propionyl-CoA carboxylases. Here, we found that in biotin deficient rats, both carboxylases decreased 90% in adipose tissue, jejunum and spleen, but in heart they conserved about 60% residual activity. We then investigated if under biotin deficiency (BtDEF), the heart is able to maintain its function in vivo and in isolated conditions, and during ischemia and reperfusion, where metabolism drastically shifts from oxidative to mainly glycolytic. Neither glucose nor octanoate oxidation were severely affected in BtDEF hearts, as assessed by mechanical performance, oxygen uptake or high-energy metabolite content; however, myocardial hexokinase activity and lactate concentration were reduced in deficient hearts. When challenged by ischemia and reperfusion injury, BtDEF hearts did not suffer more damage than the controls, although they lowered significantly their performance, when changed to ischemic conditions, which may have clinical implications. Post-ischemic increase in ADP/ATP ratio was similar in both groups, but during reperfusion there was higher rhythm perturbation in BtDEF hearts. By being relatively insensitive to biotin deficiency, cardiac tissue seems to be able to replenish TCA cycle intermediates and to maintain ATP synthesis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
