Growing evidence suggests a link between gut dysbiosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study focuses on the pathogenesis mechanisms of stable CAD (SCAD) based on microbe-host metabolism interactions. Disturbances in gut microbiome were observed in SCAD patients, accompanied by differences in serum metabolome, suggesting a reduced cardiac fatty acid oxidation. Further analysis identified Ralstonia pickettii as the core strain responsible for impaired gut microbial function in SCAD patients and the decrease of host unsaturated fatty acid levels, highlighting the importance of unsaturated fatty acids and R. pickettii in the pathogenesis of SCAD.
Growing evidence indicates an association between gut dysbiosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the underlying mechanisms relevant to stable CAD (SCAD) pathogenesis, based on microbe-host metabolism interactions, are poorly explored. Here, we constructed a quasi-paired cohort based on the metabolic background of metagenomic samples by the propensity score matching (PSM) principle. Compared to healthy controls (HCs), gut microbiome disturbances were observed in SCAD patients, accompanied by differences in serum metabolome, mainly including elevated acylcarnitine and decreased unsaturated fatty acids in SCAD patients, which implicated the reduced cardiac fatty acid oxidation. Moreover, we identified Ralstonia pickettii as the core strain responsible for impaired microbial homeostasis in SCAD patientsm and may be partly responsible for the decrease of host unsaturated fatty acid levels. These findings highlight the importance of unsaturated fatty acids, R. pickettii, and their interaction in the pathogenesis of SCAD. IMPORTANCE Stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) is an early stage of CAD development. It is important to understand the pathogenesis of SCAD and find out the possible prevention and control targets for delaying the progression of CAD. We observed reduced levels of unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) in SCAD patients. However, the reduced USFAs may be related to Ralstonia Pickettii, which was the core strain responsible for the impaired gut microbial function in SCAD patients, and further affected the host's cardiovascular health by altering amino acids, vitamin B metabolism, and LPS biosynthesis. These findings not only emphasized the importance of USFAs for cardiovascular health, but also R. Pickettii for maintaining microbial function homeostasis. More importantly, our study revealed, for the first time, that enriched R. Pickettii might be responsible for the reduced USFAs in SCAD patients, which adds new evidence on the role of altered gut microbiota for SCAD formation.
