摘要: 背景 许多观察性研究发现肠道微生物群与代谢综合征(MetS)及其组成部分存在相关性,但两者之间的因果关系尚不明确。 目的 本研究旨在探讨肠道微生物群与MetS及其组成部分之间的双向因果关系。 方法 从MiBioGen获得肠道微生物群相关的单核苷酸多态性,在英国生物样本库、Complex Trait Genetics(CTG)和其他联盟研究中获得了MetS及其组成部分的汇总统计数据,采用双向两样本孟德尔随机化分析,评估两者的因果关系。除此之外,通过一系列敏感性分析验证孟德尔随机化分析结果的稳健性。为了获得更严格的因果关系解释,使用Bonferroni校正检验肠道菌群和MetS之间因果关系的强度。 结果 逆方差加权估计结果表明,双歧杆菌(Bifidobacteriaceae)(OR=0.96,95%CI=0.93~0.98,P=1.49×10-3)与MetS有明显的负向因果关系。部分肠道菌群与腰围之间存在明显的正向因果关系,如酶莱纳菌纲(class.Melainabacteria)(OR=1.02,95%CI=1.01~1.03,P=1.90×10-3)、胃厌氧杆菌目(order.Gastranaerophilales)(OR=1.02,95%CI=1.01~1.03,P=1.61×10-3)、NB1n目(order.NB1n)(OR=1.02,95%CI=1.01~1.03,P=2.00×10-3)和霍氏真杆菌群(genus..Eubacteriumhalliigroup)(OR=1.03,95%CI=1.01~1.04,P=6.97×10-4)等,但是反向孟德尔随机化分析不支持两者之间的因果关系。敏感性分析表明不存在异质性或水平多效性。 结论 这项双向孟德尔随机化研究提供了肠道微生物群与MetS及其组成部分有明显的因果关系证据,但是不支持反向因果关系。这个发现为MetS的防治提供了新的思路。未来仍需要通过进一步的随机对照试验来阐明益生菌等微生物制剂与MetS的关系。

Abstract:

Background

Many observational studies have found an association between the gut microbiome and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components, but the causal relationship between them is not yet clear.

Objective

To explore a bidirectional causal relationship between the gut microbiota and the MetS and its components.

Methods

This study obtained gut microbiota-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms from MiBioGen, obtained summary statistics of MetS and its components in the UK Biobank, Complex Trait Genetics (CTG), and other consortiums studies, and performed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses to assess the relationship between causal relationships. In addition, a series of sensitivity analyses were performed to verify the robustness of the Mendelian randomization analysis results. To obtain a more rigorous causal interpretation, Bonferroni correction was used to test the strength of the causal relationship between gut microbiota and MetS.

Results

Inverse variance weighted estimation showed that Bifidobacteriaceae (OR=0.96, 95%CI=0.93-0.98, P=1.49×10-3) had a significant negative causal relationship with MetS. There was a significant positive causal relationship between some gut microbiota and waist circumference, such as class.Melainabacteria (OR=1.02, 95%CI=1.01-1.03, P=1.90×10-3), order.Gastranaerophilales (OR=1.02, 95%CI=1.01-1.03, P=1.61×10-3), order.NB1n (OR=1.02, 95%CI=1.01-1.03, P=2.00×10-3), and genus..Eubacteriumhalliigroup (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.01-1.04, P=6.97×10-4), among others. However, inverse Mendelian randomization analysis did not support a causal relationship. Sensitivity analyses showed there was no heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy.

Conclusion

This bidrectional Mendelian randomization study provides evidence of a clear causal relationship of gut microbiota on MetS and components, but does not support reverse causality. This finding provides new ideas for the management of MetS. Further randomized controlled trials are still needed in the future to elucidate the relationship between the effects of microbial agents such as probiotics on MetS.
