ABSTRACT/PROJECT SUMMARY Good vascular health is important for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), a highly prevalent disease in the US, with post-menopausal women at an especially high risk. Dietary intake is a major driver of vascular health, and diet can affect vascular health in part through actions involving the gut microbiome. Specifically, choline can be converted to trimethylamine, a precursor to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) which is a metabolite shown to have atherosclerotic effects. This reaction is dependent on bacteria in the gut microbiome. Studies of this metabolic pathway have examined individual foods rich in choline (i.e., red meat, fish, and eggs), however, the effect of an overall dietary pattern on this pathway has been understudied. We have created a novel dietary pattern predictive of biomarkers of TMAO production (the TMAO dietary pattern) within an ancillary study sample of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Observational Study, a prospective cohort study of post-menopausal women. Applying the TMAO dietary pattern to examine how it is associated with the intermediates of the pathway of TMAO production and a measure of vascular health is critical to gain a more complete understanding of the influence of overall dietary intake on this metabolic process. Examining an individual’s vasculature typically requires invasive procedures, however, measuring the retinal vessel caliber is a noninvasive way to assess an individual’s vascular health at the microvascular level. The purpose of this proposal is to examine how adherence to the TMAO dietary pattern is associated with 1) a broad array of circulating plasma metabolite concentrations, 2) the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome, and 3) retinal vessel caliber measured several years after dietary assessment using data from separate ancillary study samples of the WHI. We hypothesize that higher adherence to the TMAO dietary pattern will be associated with less favorable (e.g., pro-atherogenic) metabolomic profiles, gut microbiome composition, and retinal vessel caliber measures compared to lower adherence. Data are already collected and available on metabolomic profiles (>300 metabolites) of plasma samples measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods and on the gut microbiome composition assessed using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing of DNA extracted from stool samples, with habitual dietary intake assessed at the same time points. Additionally, digital color photographs have already been graded for retinal vessel caliber. We expect findings from this research to provide implications for future interventions targeting the diet and gut microbiome for vascular-related disease prevention. Ultimately, based on our findings, dietary guidelines for the prevention of atherosclerotic CVD may be enhanced. This study will facilitate my proposed training plan by allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying metabolic process of TMAO production and its influence on vascular health. My training plan includes a multidisciplinary team which will allow me to gain skills in nutrition and biological research using quantitative and epidemiologic methods, while progressing my career as an independent researcher.
