Chronic kidney disease is a major public health concern that affects millions of people globally. Alterations in gut microbiota composition have been observed in patients with chronic kidney disease. Nevertheless, the correlation between the gut microbiota and disease severity has not been investigated. In this study, we performed shot-gun metagenomics sequencing and identified several taxonomic and functional signatures associated with disease severity in patients with chronic kidney disease. We noted that 19 microbial genera were significantly associated with the severity of chronic kidney disease. The butyrate-producing bacteria were reduced in patients with advanced stages of chronic kidney diseases. In addition, functional metagenomics showed that two-component systems, metabolic activity and regulation of co-factor were significantly associated with the disease severity. Our study provides valuable information for the development of microbiota-oriented therapeutic strategies for chronic kidney disease.
慢性肾脏病是一个重大的公共卫生关注点,影响着全球数百万人。在慢性肾脏病患者中观察到肠道微生物群落组成的改变。然而,肠道微生物群与疾病严重程度之间的相关性尚未得到研究。在这项研究中,我们进行了 shotgun 宏基因组测序,鉴定出与慢性肾脏病患者疾病严重程度相关的几个分类和功能特征。我们注意到,有 19 个微生物属与慢性肾脏病的严重程度显著相关。在慢性肾脏病晚期患者中,产生丁酸的细菌减少。此外,功能宏基因组学表明,二组分系统、代谢活性和辅因子调节与疾病严重程度显著相关。我们的研究为开发针对慢性肾脏病的以微生物组为导向的治疗策略提供了有价值的信息。
