This study was designed to characterize the microbiomes of the lung tissues of lung cancer patients. RNA-sequencing was performed on lung tumor samples from 49 patients with lung cancer. Metatranscriptomics data were analyzed using SAMSA2 and Kraken2 software. 16S rRNA sequencing was also performed. The heterogeneous cellular landscape and immune repertoires of the lung samples were examined using xCell and TRUST4, respectively. We found that nine bacteria were significantly enriched in the lung tissues of cancer patients, and associated with reduced overall survival (OS). We also found that subjects with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene were less likely to experience the presence of . We found that the presence of CD8+ T-cells, CD4+ naive T-cells, dendritic cells, and CD4+ central memory T cells were associated with a good prognosis, while the presence of pro B-cells was associated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, high clone numbers were associated with a high ImmuneScore for all immune receptor repertoires. Clone numbers and diversity were significantly higher in unpresented subjects compared to presented subjects. Our results provide insight into the microbiota of human lung cancer, and how its composition is linked to the tumor immune microenvironment, immune receptor repertoires, and OS.
本研究旨在描绘肺癌患者肺部组织的微生物组。对 49 名肺癌患者的肺部肿瘤样本进行了 RNA 测序。使用 SAMSA2 和 Kraken2 软件分析了宏转录组数据。还进行了 16S rRNA 测序。使用 xCell 和 TRUST4 分别检查了肺样本的异质细胞景观和免疫受体库。我们发现,9 种细菌在癌症患者的肺部组织中明显富集,并与总体生存率(OS)降低相关。我们还发现,表皮生长因子受体基因发生突变的患者不太可能存在。我们发现 CD8+T 细胞、CD4+幼稚 T 细胞、树突状细胞和 CD4+中央记忆 T 细胞的存在与预后良好相关,而前 B 细胞的存在与预后不良相关。此外,所有免疫受体库的高克隆数与高免疫评分相关。未检出患者的克隆数和多样性明显高于检出患者。我们的研究结果深入了解了人类肺癌的微生物组,以及其组成如何与肿瘤免疫微环境、免疫受体库和 OS 相关。
