Cleveland Clinic is collaborating with Cleveland HeartLab and Procter & Gamble (PG) to develop and commercialize a diagnostic and administration solution for a heart disease biomarker recently discovered by researchers in Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research and Heart & Vascular Institutes.
As part of the collaboration, Cleveland HeartLab will develop a diagnostic test to measure blood levels of TMAO, or Trimethylamine-N-oxide, a substance produced by gut bacteria and that is linked to heart disease. Meanwhile, Cleveland Clinic researchers will work with Cincinnati-based P&G to develop an over-the-counter product that can assist people manage their TMAO levels.
In 2011, a research team led by Dr. Stanley Hazen, vice chair of translational research at the Lerner Research Institute, discovered that elevated blood levels of TMAO are linked to improved risk of heart attack, stroke and death. Their studies also showed that TMAO directly contributes to the narrowing of artery walls through atherosclerotic plaque build-up. TMAO gets formed when a dietary nutrient called lecithin, which is most abundant in animal products rich in fat and cholesterol, gets metabolized by the natural bacterial flora in the gastrointestinal tract.
The initial findings were published in 2011 in Nature. Follow-up clinical studies were published in 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine and Nature Medicine, leading to new insight into the connection between diet, gut bacteria and health. Findings assist explain why, for some people, diets rich in foods like red meat, egg yolks and high-fat dairy products are more associated with raised cardiovascular risk. Numerous clinical studies now indicate that measuring TMAO levels can reveal heightened cardiovascular risks that standard tests, such as cholesterol and inflammation testing, tend to miss.
