Abstract
Background: Observational studies have found a link between lipid metabolism disorders and aplastic anemia (AA). However, due to confounding variables and reverse causation, it is difficult to conclude such a causal link. The precise mechanism and potential implications of lipid metabolism disorder in AA remain unclear, necessitating further studies in this area.
Method: This study aimed to examine the causal relationship between 38 different subtypes of triacylglycerols and AA using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Additionally, two-step MR analyses were conducted to investigate the mediating effects of vitamin A to oleoyl-linoleoyl-glycerol (18:1-18:2) ratio.
Results: MR analysis showed that triacylglycerol (53:3) levels were positively associated with the risk of AA [inverse variance weighting (IVW): odds ratio (OR) = 1.131,95% confidence interval (CI):1.029-1.243, P = 0.011; Bayesian weighted MR (BWMR): OR = 1.137,95% CI:1.031-1.254, P = 0.010]. Triacylglycerol (53:3) level showed no inverse causality with AA (IVW:P = 0.834; BWMR:P = 0.349). Mediation analyses showed that increasing the vitamin A to oleoyl-linoleoyl-glycerol (18:1-18:2) ratio can decrease the risk of AA.
Conclusion: This study revealed the association between vitamin A to oleoyl-linoleoyl-glycerol (18:1-18:2) ratio, triacylglycerol (53:3) levels and AA, and indicated that lowering triacylglycerol (53:3) levels can reduce the risk of AA.
背景:观察性研究发现,脂质代谢紊乱与再生障碍性贫血(AA)之间存在联系。然而,由于混杂变量和反向因果关系,很难得出这种因果关系的结论。脂质代谢紊乱在再生障碍性贫血中的确切机制和潜在影响仍不清楚,因此有必要在这一领域开展进一步研究:本研究旨在使用双样本孟德尔随机法(MR)研究 38 种不同亚型的三酰甘油与 AA 之间的因果关系。此外,还进行了两步 MR 分析,以研究维生素 A 与油酰基-亚油酰基甘油(18:1-18:2)比率的中介效应:或 = 1.137,95% 置信区间:1.031-1.254,P = 0.010]。三酰甘油(53:3)水平与 AA 没有反向因果关系(IVW:P = 0.834;BWMR:P = 0.349)。中介分析表明,提高维生素 A 与油酰基-亚油酰基甘油(18:1-18:2)的比率可降低 AA 风险:本研究揭示了维生素 A 与油酰基-亚油酰基-甘油(18:1-18:2)比率、三酰甘油(53:3)水平与 AA 之间的关系,并指出降低三酰甘油(53:3)水平可降低 AA 风险。
