Bacteriophages, gut bacteria, and microbial pathways interplay in cardiometabolic health.
Cell Rep. 43:113728 (2024)
Cardiometabolic diseases are leading causes of mortality in Western countries. Well-established risk factors include host genetics, lifestyle, diet, and the gut microbiome. Moreover, gut bacterial communities and their activities can be altered by bacteriophages (also known simply as phages), bacteria-infecting viruses, making these biological entities key regulators of human cardiometabolic health. The manipulation of bacterial populations by phages enables the possibility of using phages in the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases through phage therapy and fecal viral transplants. First, however, a deeper understanding of the role of the phageome in cardiometabolic diseases is required. In this review, we first introduce the phageome as a component of the gut microbiome and discuss fecal viral transplants and phage therapy in relation to cardiometabolic diseases. We then summarize the current state of phageome research in cardiometabolic diseases and propose how the phageome might indirectly influence cardiometabolic health through gut bacteria and their metabolites.
