RESUMO

Objective: A growing body of evidence underscores a significant association between neurological disorders, particularly migraines, and the gut microbiota. However, a research gap persists in understanding the cause-and-effect dynamics between these elements. Therefore, we employed robust methodologies aimed at thoroughly exploring the causal relationship between the gut microbiome and migraines. Methods: Employing bidirectional Two Sample Mendelian Randomization (TSMR) analysis, we investigated the causal association between the composition of the gut microbiota and migraines. Data summarizing the relationship between gut microbiota and migraines were extracted from one or more genome-wide association studies. The TSMR analysis employed five methods to assess the correlation between the gut microbiota and migraines, with the inverse variance-weighted method serving as the primary approach for analyzing causal links. Sensitivity analyses were applied to address horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity. Simultaneously, a meta-analysis was performed to strengthen the robustness of the findings. Additionally, a reverse TSMR was carried out to explore potential occurrences of reverse causal relationships. Results: The ongoing TSMR analysis identified a collection of 14 bacterial taxa connected to migraines. Among these, 8 taxa exhibited a protective effect, while 5 taxa had a detrimental impact, and 1 taxon maintained a neutral relationship. The reverse Mendelian randomization analysis highlighted stable outcomes for only one bacterial taxonomic group. Conclusion: The study confirms a causal relationship between the gut microbiota and migraines, offering a new perspective for migraine research. Strategically targeting specific bacterial taxa with dysregulation may be effective in both preventing and treating migraines, thus opening new avenues for therapeutic strategies.

RESUMO

Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) can lead to cranial nerve symptoms. However, multiple cranial nerve symptoms associated with VBD in one case remain extremely rare. We here present the case of a 33-year-old male with VBD diagnosed by multimodality imaging, who developed simultaneous abducens and vestibulocochlear nerve symptoms and subsequently improved after blood pressure control treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a vascular disorder resulting in simultaneous symptoms of the abducens and vestibulocochlear nerves. This study highlights that such a vascular anomaly should be considered when cranial nerve symptom is encountered, especially when multiple cranial nerves involved. Meanwhile, radiological evalurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrration of such neurovascular conflict using three-dimensional constructive interference in steady-state imaging is recommended.

RESUMO

Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been suggested to play important roles in the pathogenesis of diseases, atherosclerosis-related lncRNAs and circRNAs remain rarely reported. This study aimed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis based on the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory hypothesis of lncRNAs and circRNAs. The expression profiles of circRNAs, lncRNAs, and mRNAs in human THP-1 macrophages treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (an in vitro atherosclerosis model), or not, were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database under accession numbers GSE107522, GSE54666, and GSE54039, respectively. The present study identified 29 differentially expressed circRNAs in GSE107522, 544 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GSE54666, and 502 DEGs and 231 differentially expressed lncRNAs in GSE54039 datasets by using the Linear Models for Microarray Data method. Eight DEGs were found to be shared and expressed with the consistent trend in GSE54666 and GSE54039 datasets. Two of them (ASPH, aspartate beta-hydroxylase; and PDE3B, phosphodiesterase 3B) were suggested to be crucial based on functional enrichment, protein-protein interaction, and ceRNA network analyses. ASPH, through interaction with CACNA2D4 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 4), may be associated with atherosclerosis by regulating the cellular response to calcium ion; and PDE3B may exert roles in negative regulation of angiogenesis through cross talk with ELMO1 (engulfment and cell motility 1). Furthermore, the expression of ASPH and PDE3B may be regulated by hsa_circ_0028198/hsa_circ_0092317/XIST-miR-543; PDE3B expression may be also modulated by hsa_circ_0092317/hsa_circ_0003546/H19/XIST-miR-326. In conclusion, our identified ceRNA interaction axes may possibly be important targets for treatment of atherosclerosis.
