Causal Relationships Between Gut Microbiota, Inflammatory Cells/Proteins, and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Multi-omics Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study and Meta-analysis

This study combined various omics approaches with Mendelian randomization analysis, including MR-IVW, MR Egger, MR weight median, and MR weight mode, to generate preliminary results. It also employed reverse Mendelian randomization, treating SAH as the exposure. Finally, a meta -analysis was conducted to summarize these findings. The study found positive correlations between SAH and both GBPA-Pyridoxal 5 phosphate biosynthesis I (OR=1.48, 95% CI, 1.04–2.12) and GBPA-glucose biosynthesis I (OR=0.68, 95% CI, 0.52–0.90). Increased levels of urokinase-type plasma activator were also associated with SAH (OR=1.17, 95% CI, 1.04–1.32). Associations were observed with SAH for CD80 on CD62L+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells, CD80 on plasmacytoid dendritic cells, CD123 on CD62L+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and SSC-A on plasmacytoid dendritic cells. This study, through Mende lian randomization and meta-analysis, established links between SAH and four inflammatory cells, one inflammatory protein, and two gut microbiota-related pathways. These findings suggest potential treatment targets for SAH, highlighting the importance of modulating gut microbiota and utilizing anti- inflammatory drugs in its management.
