Although gut microbiota has been linked to cancer, little is known about the crosstalk between gut- and intratumoral-microbiomes. The goal of this study was to determine whether gut Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) is involved in the regulation of intratumoral microbiome and metabolic contexture, leading to an anticancer effect on lung cancer. We evaluated the effects of gut endogenous or gavaged exogenous Akk on the tumorigenesis using the Lewis lung cancer mouse model. Feces, blood, and tumor tissue samples were collected for 16S rDNA sequencing. We then conducted spatially resolved metabolomics profiling to discover cancer metabolites in situ directly and to characterize the overall Akk-regulated metabolic features, followed by the correlation analysis of intratumoral bacteria with metabolic network. Our results showed that both endogenous and exogenous gavaged Akk significantly inhibited tumorigenesis. Moreover, we detected increased Akk abundance in blood circulation or tumor tissue by 16S rDNA sequencing in the Akk gavaged mice, compared with the control mice. Of great interest, gavaged Akk may migrate into tumor tissue and influence the composition of intratumoral microbiome. Spatially resolved metabolomics analysis revealed that the gut-derived Akk was able to regulate tumor metabolic pathways, from metabolites to enzymes. Finally, our study identified a significant correlation between the gut Akk-regulated intratumoral bacteria and metabolic network. Together, gut-derived Akk may migrate into blood circulation, and subsequently colonize into lung cancer tissue, which contributes to the suppression of tumorigenesis by influencing tumoral symbiotic microbiome and reprogramming tumoral metabolism, although more studies are needed.
虽然肠道微生物群与癌症有关,但人们对肠道和肿瘤内微生物群之间的串扰知之甚少。本研究的目的是确定肠道阿克曼氏菌(Akk)是否参与调节肿瘤内微生物群和代谢结构,从而对肺癌产生抗癌作用。我们使用 Lewis 肺癌小鼠模型评估了肠道内源性或灌胃外源性 Akk 对肿瘤发生的影响。收集粪便、血液和肿瘤组织样本进行 16S rDNA 测序。然后,我们进行了空间分辨代谢组学分析,直接发现癌症代谢物,并对整体 Akk 调节的代谢特征进行了特征描述,随后对肿瘤内细菌与代谢网络进行了相关性分析。我们的结果表明,内源性和外源性灌胃 Akk 均能显著抑制肿瘤发生。此外,与对照组小鼠相比,灌胃 Akk 小鼠的血液或肿瘤组织中 16S rDNA 测序检测到 Akk 丰度增加。有趣的是,灌胃 Akk 可能迁移到肿瘤组织中,并影响肿瘤内微生物群的组成。空间分辨代谢组学分析显示,肠道来源的 Akk 能够调节肿瘤代谢途径,从代谢物到酶。最后,我们的研究确定了肠道 Akk 调节的肿瘤内细菌与代谢网络之间存在显著相关性。总之,肠道来源的 Akk 可能迁移到血液循环中,随后定植于肺癌组织中,通过影响肿瘤共生微生物群和重塑肿瘤代谢来抑制肿瘤发生,但还需要更多的研究。
