    Gut microbiota produce trimethylamine, which enters the liver via the portal circulation and is primarily oxidized by FMO3 to produce TMAO. TMAO upregulates hepatic PCSK9 gene expression while downregulating APOA4 expression. PCSK9 overexpression inhibits APOA4 expression, while low APOA4 expression further promotes PCSK9 expression, forming a feedback loop that dysregulates cholesterol metabolism. This upregulates cholesterol synthesis by HMGCR and cholesterol efflux by ABCG5/8. Consequently, biliary concentrations of cholesterol and bile acids increase and decrease, respectively, thereby promoting cholesterol gallstone formation. TMAO, trimethylamine-N-oxide; APOA4, apolipoprotein A4; PCSK9, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9; ABCG5, ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 5; ABCG8, ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 8; FMO3, flavin containing monooxygenase 3; TMA, Trimethylamine.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Flowchart of the quantitative proteomics experiments; ( b ) A total of 2052 proteins was successfully quantified in the two experiment replicates, among which 1649 proteins were overlapped; ( c) Pearson Correlation analysis shows a Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) of 0.76 for the 1649 overlapping proteins in the two replicates; ( d) Gaussian distribution of the quantitative data (Log 2 (Ratio)) shared by the two experimental replicates, the mean value was 0.0035 and SD value was 0.538; ( e) The protein levels of APOA4, CKM, CA2, TNNI3, and MYL3 in EAT of normal donors and ICM patients (n = 6–7 samples); ( f) The decreased proteins (FASN, CRP, and GLUL) confirmed by western blots (n = 6–7 samples). The β-actin was served as loading control.
