The Gut Microbiome as a Possible Mediator in Autoimmunity and Cardiovascular Disease: Shared Pathways and Therapeutic Implications.
This review explores the emerging role of the gut microbiome in bridging autoimmunity and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Dysbiosis, an imbalance in gut microbial composition, disrupts immune regulation, metabolic pathways, and vascular health, likely contributing to both autoimmune disorders and CVDs. Microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, trimethylamine N-oxide, tryptophan derivatives, and bile acids play critical roles in modulating inflammation, lipid metabolism, and endothelial function. Specific bacterial species, including Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Akkermansia muciniphila, and Bifidobacterium spp., exhibit dual protective effects against autoimmune and cardiovascular pathologies. By elucidating these interconnected mechanisms, this work highlights the potential of microbiome-targeted therapies, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary interventions, to concurrently address autoimmune diseases and reduce cardiovascular risk. Understanding the complex interactions between the gut microbiota, immune system, and cardiovascular health opens new avenues for developing innovative therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring microbial balance and improving patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Pathology, official journal of the American Society for Investigative Pathology, published by Elsevier, Inc., seeks high-quality original research reports, reviews, and commentaries related to the molecular and cellular basis of disease. The editors will consider basic, translational, and clinical investigations that directly address mechanisms of pathogenesis or provide a foundation for future mechanistic inquiries. Examples of such foundational investigations include data mining, identification of biomarkers, molecular pathology, and discovery research. Foundational studies that incorporate deep learning and artificial intelligence are also welcome. High priority is given to studies of human disease and relevant experimental models using molecular, cellular, and organismal approaches.
