About
Supported by state-of-the-art systems medicine competences including integrative computational and functional genomics, the overarching goal of the trial is to investigate the impact of qualitative and quantitative changes in the gut microbiota on the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) and their associated co-morbidities. A major objective will be to translate the clinical and fundamental based discoveries into new diagnosis and preventive actions paving the way to novel modes of treatment in the successive stages of CMD progression.
Full description
Cardiovascular diseases represent a huge medico-economic issue that is supported by public health policy. It is linked not only to the high prevalence of these diseases but also the associated cost they encounter for. Therefore, it seems rather urgent to create and validate tools to predict evolution of this group of disease in order to better take care of patients before they enter the more chronic stages which induce increased costs and socioeconomic and medical burdens.
It is now well acknowledged that gut microbiota is modified in some metabolic disease such as type-2 diabetes but also in inflammatory diseases. However, gut microbiota is still insufficiently explored in cardiovascular disease, although it could represent a useful, non-invasive and practical tool in the daily care of patients.
Investigators aim to deepen the knowledge and characterization of gut microbiota in patients going from metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes (which are risks factors for cardiovascular diseases) to overt coronary artery diseases (from the first event to end stage heart failure). Investigators will use a system medicine approach whose aim is to integrate numerous data coming from different technologies (including environment, transcriptomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, lipidomics and bioinformatics). These integrated approaches are needed to translate basic science findings into clinical practice for the benefit of the patients.
Investigators aim to uncover new microbial signatures that could help diagnose and/or predict both the natural evolution of cardiometabolic diseases and the response to treatment. Investigators aim to go forward personalized medicine.
Patients will be approached for enrolment during their hospitalization in the 3 centers during the 24-month enrolment phase (WP3). Once the informed consent completed, each patient will be assessed for CMD phenotypes including clinical examination, environmental and food habit evaluation, blood urine and feces samples. In each group of patients, a sub-sample of 30 to 50 subjects will be included in one or more advanced phenotyping items. This will include whole body composition by absorptiometry (DXA), abdominal visceral fat by tomodensitometry, Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) (glucose, insulin, incretins), subcutaneous fat biopsy, cardiac echocardiography, intima media thickness, pulse wave velocity. For the obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery: liver and subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue biopsies will be obtained during surgery.
This group of patient will be followed at 3, 6 and 12 months after their surgery and will have the same examination as mentioned above.

Half of the effective will be standard obese patients (150 in Paris and 150 in Leipzig)
Half of the effective will be patients candidate to a bariatric surgery either Sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y bypass (with the following clinical conditions: according to European and national guidelines for obesity surgery):
These patients will be followed during the first year after surgery. The clinical and research investigation time points will be 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery.
