Nutri(meta)genetics and cardiovascular disease: novel concepts in the interaction of diet and genomic variation

Current Atherosclerosis Reports
Jacob Joseph, Joseph Loscalzo

Abstract

In addition to the interaction of nutrition and genetic variation on the genesis and natural history of cardiovascular disease, recent studies have revealed an entire new genome that resides in the trillions of microbes that exist in various human habitats, predominantly in the gut, that may also contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. This microbial genome and the proteins for which it codes have important functions in homeostatic adaptations to the past and present changes in diet and environment accompanying human civilization. Both preclinical and clinical investigations suggest the role of commensal microbiota in promoting adverse cardiovascular risk. Specifically, microbial metabolism of methylated amines leads to direct pro-atherogenic effects in humans. Further investigations are needed to understand the complex relationships among nutritional status, genetic variation, and the microbial genome, which may explain the recent negative results of clinical trials of nutritional interventions such as B vitamin therapy to lower plasma homocysteine levels. The results of such contemporary genomic investigations would allow us to utilize personalized nutritional interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
