BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether gut microbiota (GM) affects the risk of optic neuritis (ON) through the "gut-brain" axis and the "gut-retina" axis. To examine the causal relationship between GM and ON, we conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) study.
METHODS: Up to 18,340 samples of 24 population-based cohorts were included in genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 196 GM taxa. ON outcomes were selected from the FinnGen GWAS (951 ON cases and 307,092 controls). In addition, the GWAS based on UK Biobank (UKB) (105 ON cases and 456,243 controls) was used for further exploration. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) was carried out to estimate their effects on ON risk and the MR assumptions were evaluated in sensitivity analyses.
RESULTS: Among the 196 GM taxa, the IVW results confirmed that Family -Peptococcaceae (P = 2.17 × 10-3), Genus- Hungatella (P = 4.57 × 10-3) and genus-Eubacterium_rectale_group (P = 0.02) were correlated with the risk of ON based on Finngen GWAS. Based on data from UKB, Genus- Eubacterium_hallii_group (P = 1.50 × 10-3) and Genus- Ruminococcaceae_UCG_002 (P = 0.02) were correlated with the risk of ON. At the phylum, class and order levels, no GM taxa were causally related to ON (P > 0.05). Heterogeneity (P > 0.05) and pleiotropy (P > 0.05) analysis confirmed the robustness of the MR results.
CONCLUSION: Our MR findings support the causal effect of specific GM taxa on ON. GM may affect the risk of ON through the "gut-brain" axis and the "gut-retina" axis. However, further research is needed to confirm the relevant mechanism of the relationship between GM and ON.
