The composition of human breast milk is highly variable, and it can be influenced by genetics, diet, lifestyle, and other environmental factors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of geographical location and mode of delivery on the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) metabolic profile of breast milk and its relationship with the milk microbiome. Human milk metabolic and microbiota profiles were determined using NMR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, respectively, in 79 healthy women from Finland, Spain, South Africa, and China. Up to 68 metabolites, including amino acids, oligosaccharides, and fatty acid-associated metabolites, were identified in the milk NMR spectra. The metabolite profiles showed significant differences between geographical locations, with significant differences ( < 0.05) in the levels of galactose, lacto--fucopentaose III, lacto--fucopentaose I and 2-fucosyllactose, 3-fucosyllactose, lacto--difucohexaose II, lacto--fucopentaose III, 2-hydroxybutyrate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, proline, -acetyl lysine, methyl-histidine, dimethylamine, kynurenine, urea, creatine and creatine phosphate, formate, lactate, acetate, phosphocholine, acetylcholine, LDL, VLDL, ethanolamine, riboflavin, hippurate, spermidine, spermine and uridine. Additionally, the effect of caesarean section on milk metabolome was dependent on the geographical region. Specific interrelations between human milk metabolites and microbiota were also identified. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli were most significantly associated with the milk metabolites, being either positively or negatively correlated depending on the metabolite. Our results reveal specific milk metabolomic profiles across geographical locations and also highlight the potential interactions between human milk's metabolites and microbes.
人乳的成分高度可变,并且可以受到遗传、饮食、生活方式和其他环境因素的影响。本研究旨在调查地理位置和分娩方式对母乳核磁共振光谱(NMR)代谢谱及其与乳微生物组的关系的影响。使用 NMR 和 16S rRNA 基因测序分别在来自芬兰、西班牙、南非和中国的 79 位健康女性中确定了人乳代谢和微生物组谱。在母乳 NMR 光谱中鉴定了多达 68 种代谢物,包括氨基酸、低聚糖和与脂肪酸相关的代谢物。代谢物谱显示地理位置之间存在显著差异,半乳糖、乳糖-岩藻五糖 III、乳糖-岩藻五糖 I 和 2-岩藻糖基乳糖、3-岩藻糖基乳糖、乳糖-二岩藻六糖 II、乳糖-岩藻五糖 III、2-羟丁酸、3-羟丁酸、脯氨酸、乙酰赖氨酸、甲基组氨酸、二甲基胺、犬尿氨酸、尿素、肌酸和磷酸肌酸、甲酸、乳酸、乙酸、磷酸胆碱、乙酰胆碱、LDL、VLDL、乙醇胺、核黄素、马尿酸、亚精胺、精胺和尿苷的水平存在显著差异(<0.05)。此外,剖宫产对乳代谢组的影响取决于地理位置。还确定了人乳代谢物和微生物群之间的特定相互关系。变形菌门、放线菌门和芽孢杆菌门与乳代谢物的相关性最高,根据代谢物的不同,呈正相关或负相关。我们的研究结果揭示了不同地理位置的特定乳代谢组图谱,同时强调了人乳代谢物和微生物之间潜在的相互作用。
