Causal relationships between gut microbiota and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study

Abstract

Background and purpose: Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH) poses a significant health burden globally, necessitating a deeper understanding of its etiology and potential preventive strategies. Recent research has suggested a possible link between gut microbiota composition and the risk of vascularity, prompting investigation into this association using Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis. Here, we aimed to elucidate the causal relationship between gut microbiota composition and aSAH risk utilizing MR analysis.

The role of dysbiotic gut mycobiota in modulating risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm

ABSTRACT

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a large-vessel disease with high mortality, characterized by complex pathogenic mechanisms. Current therapeutic approaches remain insufficient to halt its progression. Fungi are important members of the gut microbiota. However, their characteristic alterations and roles in AAA remain unclear. This study investigated the role of gut fungal communities in the development of AAA through metagenomic sequencing of fecal samples from 31 healthy individuals and 33 AAA patients. We observed significant dysbiosis in the gut mycobiomes of AAA patients compared to healthy individuals, characterized by an increase in pathogenic fungi like Candida species and a decrease in beneficial yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The changes in fungal populations correlated strongly with clinical indicators of AAA, highlighting their potential for diagnosing and predicting AAA progression. Furthermore, our animal experiments demonstrated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae significantly ameliorated pathological alterations in AAA mice, suggesting a protective role for specific yeast strains against AAA development. These findings underscore the significant impact of gut mycobiomes on AAA and suggest that modulating these fungal communities could offer a novel therapeutic approach. Our research advances the understanding of the influence of gut microbiome on vascular diseases and suggests potential non-surgical approaches for managing AAA. By elucidating the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of gut fungi in AAA, this study provided important clues for future clinical strategies and therapeutic developments in the field of vascular medicine.
