BACKGROUND: Secondary bile acids (SBAs), the products of bacterial metabolism, are ligands of the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and have been implicated in cardiovascular health. Diet can modulate gut microbiota composition and bile acid metabolism.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the associations of circulating SBAs and their receptor polymorphisms with the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

METHODS: A total of 1234 participants with newly diagnosed T2D without CVD or cancer were included from the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort study in China. Circulating SBAs and their conjugated forms were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Fifteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding bile acid receptors were genotyped.

RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 5.7 y, 259 incident CVD cases were documented. After multivariable adjustment, higher levels of unconjugated SBAs [sum of deoxycholic acid (DCA), lithocholic acid, and ursodeoxycholic acid] and DCA were significantly associated with a higher risk of CVD among people with T2D, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1.62 (1.12, 2.35) and 1.46 (1.04, 2.06) comparing the extreme quartile of SBAs and DCA, respectively. Restricted cubic spline regression suggested a linear relationship of unconjugated SBAs and DCA with an elevated risk of CVD, and per standard deviation, an increment in natural log-transformed unconjugated SBAs and DCA was associated with an 18% (95% CI: 4%, 34%) and 16% (95% CI: 2%, 33%) higher risk of CVD, respectively. Moreover, genetic variants in FXR (rs56163822 TT compared with GG, and rs17030295 TT compared with CC) were significantly associated with a 121%-129% higher risk of CVD among individuals with T2D.

CONCLUSIONS: A higher proportion of unconjugated SBAs, especially DCA, is linearly associated with a higher risk of CVD among people with newly diagnosed T2D. Our findings support the potential role of gut microbiota-derived SBAs in cardiovascular health in individuals with T2D.
