Radiation enteritis (RE) is a common complication in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. Although studies have shown the changes of this disease at clinical, pathological and other levels, the dynamic characteristics of local microbiome and metabolomics are hitherto unknown. We aimed to examine the multi-omics features of the gut microecosystem, determining the functional correlation between microbiome and lipid metabolites during RE activity. By delivering single high-dose irradiation, a RE mouse model was established. High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing and global lipidomics analysis were performed to examine microbial and lipidomic profile changes in the gut microecosystem. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the functional correlation between bacteria and metabolites. Clinical samples were collected to validate the above observations. During RE activity, the intestinal inflammation of the mice was confirmed by typical signs, symptoms, imaging findings and pathological evidences. 16S datasets revealed that localized irradiation dramatically altered the gut microbial composition, resulting in a decrease ratio of to . Lipidomics analysis indicated the remarkable lipidomic profile changes in enteric epithelial barrier, determining that glycerophospholipids metabolism was correlated to RE progression with the highest relevance. Spearman correlation analysis identified that five bacteria-metabolite pairs showed the most significant functional correlation in RE, including -PC(36:0e), -DG(18:0/20:4), -PC(35:2), -PC(35:6), and -TG(18:2/18:2/20:4). These observations were partly confirmed in human specimens. Our study provided a comprehensive description of microbiota dysbiosis and lipid metabolic disorders in RE, suggesting strategies to change local microecosystem to relieve radiation injury and maintain homeostasis.
放射性肠炎(RE)是癌症患者接受放疗后的常见并发症。尽管已有研究表明该疾病在临床、病理等水平上的变化,但局部微生物组和代谢组学的动态特征尚不清楚。我们旨在研究肠道微生物组的多组学特征,确定 RE 活性过程中微生物组和脂质代谢物之间的功能相关性。通过单次高剂量照射,建立 RE 小鼠模型。进行高通量 16S rDNA 测序和全局脂质组学分析,以检查肠道微生物组中的微生物和脂质组学谱变化。使用 Spearman 相关分析确定细菌和代谢物之间的功能相关性。收集临床样本验证上述观察结果。在 RE 活动期间,通过典型的体征、症状、影像学发现和病理学证据证实了小鼠的肠道炎症。16S 数据集显示,局部照射显著改变了肠道微生物组成,导致比例下降至 。脂质组学分析表明肠上皮屏障的脂质组学谱发生了显著变化,确定甘油磷脂代谢与 RE 进展相关性最高。Spearman 相关分析确定了在 RE 中显示出最显著功能相关性的五组细菌-代谢物对,包括 -PC(36:0e)、-DG(18:0/20:4)、-PC(35:2)、-PC(35:6)和 -TG(18:2/18:2/20:4)。这些观察结果在人类标本中得到了部分证实。本研究全面描述了 RE 中微生物失调和脂质代谢紊乱,提示改变局部微生态系统以减轻辐射损伤和维持内稳态的策略。
