Multi-omics mechanical analysis of gut microbiota, carboxylic acids, and cardiac gene expression interaction triggering diabetic cardiomyopathy by Meixin Shi, Bingbing Zhao, Wenjie Cai, Hui Yuan, Xiao Liang, Zhitao Li, Xinyu Liu, Ye Jin, Xi Liu, Can Wei

“…Also, according to the Pearson correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation was found between CAs and PPAR signaling pathway-related DEGs, and a negative correlation was found between CAs and the abundance of the above-mentioned species. To sum up, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can upregulate the expression of partial cardiac genes through the levels of serum short-chain CAs affected by gut microbiota, thus playing a role in the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).IMPORTANCEOur research results clearly link the changes in heart genes of T2DM and normal mice with changes in serum metabolites and gut microbiota, indicating that some genes in biological processes are closely related to the reduction of protective microbiota in the gut microbiota. …”
