Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, inflicting immense suffering on patients and their loved ones while carrying a significant social cost. Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in preventing and treating stroke by affecting immune homeostasis and contributing to atherosclerotic disorders, including ischemic stroke. Studies suggest that gut dysbiosis-related immune dysfunction induced by VB12 deficiency may potentially contribute to stroke pathogenesis, severity, and patient outcomes.
Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It inflicts immeasurable suffering on patients and their loved ones and carries an immense social cost. Efforts to mitigate the impact of stroke have focused on identifying therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment. The gut microbiome represents one such potential target given its multifaceted effects on conditions known to cause and worsen the severity of stroke. Vitamin B12 (VB12) serves as a cofactor for two enzymes, methylmalonyl-CoA synthase and methionine synthase, vital for methionine and nucleotide biosynthesis. VB12 deficiency results in a buildup of metabolic substrates, such as homocysteine, that alter immune homeostasis and contribute to atherosclerotic disorders, including ischemic stroke. In addition to its support of cellular function, VB12 serves as a metabolic cofactor for gut microbes. By shaping microbial communities, VB12 further impacts local and peripheral immunity. Growing evidence suggests that gut dysbiosis-related immune dysfunction induced by VB12 deficiency may potentially contributes to stroke pathogenesis, its severity, and patient outcomes. In this review, we discuss the complex interactions of VB12, gut microbes and the associated metabolites, and immune homeostasis throughout the natural history of ischemic stroke.
