RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The plasma metabolome reflects the physiological state of various biological processes and can serve as a proxy for disease risk. Plasma metabolite variation, influenced by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, can also affect the cellular microenvironment and blood cell epigenetics. The interplay between the plasma metabolome and the blood cell epigenome remains elusive. In this study, we performed an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of 1183 plasma metabolites in 693 participants from the LifeLines-DEEP cohort and investigated the causal relationships in DNA methylation-metabolite associations using bidirectional Mendelian randomization and mediation analysis. RESULTS: After rigorously adjusting for potential confounders, including genetics, we identified five robust associations between two plasma metabolites (L-serine and glycine) and three CpG sites located in two independent genomic regions (cg14476101 and cg16246545 in PHGDH and cg02711608 in SLC1A5) at a false discovery rate of less than 0.05. Further analysis revealed a complex bidirectional relationship between plasma glycine/serine levels and DNA methylation. Moreover, we observed a strong mediating role of DNA methylation in the effect of glycine/serine on the expression of their metabolism/transport genes, with the proportion of the mediated effect ranging from 11.8 to 54.3%. This result was also replicated in an independent population-based cohort, the Rotterdam Study. To validate our findings, we conducted in vitro cell studies which confirmed the mediating role of DNA methylation in the regulation of PHGDH gene expression. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reveal a potential feedback mechanism in which glycine and serine regulate gene expression through DNA methylation.
