摘要

Background: We performed non-targeted metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled technique to explore the biological mechanism of coronary artery disease (CAD) events for improved prediction. Material/Methods: We studied the association of CAD events in 4092 individuals and observed the replication of sphingomyelin (28:1), lysophosphatidylcholine (18:2), lysophosphatidylcholine (18:1), and monoglyceride (18:2), which were independent of main CAD risk factors. Results: We found that these 4 metabolites were responsible for traditional risk factors and also contributed to the modifications related to reclassification and discrimination. Monoglycerides (MonoGs) were positively associated with C-reactive proteins and body mass index, while lysophosphatidylcholines (LPPCs), which had less evidence of subclinical CAD in an additional 1010 participants, yielded a reverse pattern. An association between monoGs and CAD independence of triglycerides (triGs) were also observed. On the basis of Mendelian randomization analysis, we observed a positive but weak irregular effect (odds ratio per unit increase in standard deviation in monoG=1.11, P-value=0.05) on CAD. Conclusions: Our work establishes the relationship of metabolome with coronary artery disease and explains the biological mechanism of CAD events, as we identified the above-mentioned metabolites along with the evidence supporting their clinical use.
