Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a primary liver cancer, is closely associated with the gut microbiota. However, the role of gut fungi in the development of HCC remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of intestinal on HCC. Here, We found that patients with HCC showed significantly decreased diversity of the gut mycobiome and increased abundance of , compared to the patients with liver cirrhosis. The gavage of in the WT models increased the tumor size and weight and influenced the plasma metabolome, which was indicated by alterations in 117 metabolites, such as L-carnitine and L-acetylcarnitine, and several KEGG enriched pathways, such as phenylalanine metabolism and citrate cycle. Moreover, the expression of nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6) in the intestinal tissues and primary intestinal epithelial cells of the WT mice interacted with increased. Notably, the colonization of had no effect on tumor growth in mice. In conclusion, the abnormal colonization of reprogrammed HCC metabolism and contributed to the progression of HCC dependent on NLRP6, which provided new targets for the treatment of HCC.
肝细胞癌(HCC)是一种原发性肝癌,与肠道微生物群密切相关。然而,肠道真菌在HCC发生发展中的作用仍不清楚。本研究旨在探讨肠道[此处原文缺失具体内容]对HCC的影响。在此,我们发现与肝硬化患者相比,HCC患者的肠道真菌群落多样性显著降低,且[此处原文缺失具体内容]丰度增加。在野生型(WT)模型中灌胃[此处原文缺失具体内容]会增加肿瘤大小和重量,并影响血浆代谢组,这表现为117种代谢物(如左旋肉碱和L-乙酰肉碱)发生改变,以及几个KEGG富集通路(如苯丙氨酸代谢和柠檬酸循环)出现变化。此外,WT小鼠肠道组织和原代肠上皮细胞中含pyrin结构域的核苷酸寡聚化结构域样受体家族成员6(NLRP6)的表达与[此处原文缺失具体内容]相互作用后增加。值得注意的是,[此处原文缺失具体内容]的定殖对Nlrp6基因敲除小鼠的肿瘤生长没有影响。总之,[此处原文缺失具体内容]的异常定殖重塑了HCC的代谢,并促进了依赖NLRP6的HCC进展,这为HCC治疗提供了新靶点。
