Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignant neoplasms. Pancreatic cancer is related to gut microbiota, but the associations between its treatment and microbial abundance as well as genetic variations remain unclear. In this study, we collected fecal samples from 58 pancreatic cancer patients including 43 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and 15 non-PDAC, and 40 healthy controls, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing and untargeted metabolome analysis were conducted. PDAC patients were divided into five groups according to treatment and tumor location, including treatment-naive (UT), chemotherapy (CT), surgery combined with chemotherapy (SCT), Head, and body/tail (Tail) groups. Multivariate association analysis revealed that both CT and SCT were associated with increased abundance of and . The microbial single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) densities of , and were positively associated with CT, while was positively associated with Head group. Compared with Tail group, the Head group showed positive associations with opportunistic pathogens, such as , and We assembled 424 medium-quality non-redundant metagenome-assembled genomes (nrMAGs) and 276 high-quality nrMAGs. In CT group, indole-3-acetic acid, capsaicin, sinigrin, chenodeoxycholic acid, and glycerol-3-phosphate were increased, and the accuracy of the model based on fecal metabolites reached 0.77 in distinguishing healthy controls and patients. This study identifies the associations between pancreatic cancer treatment and gut microbiota as well as its metabolites, reveals bacterial SNPs are related to tumor location, and extends our knowledge of gut microbiota and pancreatic cancer.
胰腺癌是最致命的恶性肿瘤之一。胰腺癌与肠道微生物群有关,但其治疗与微生物丰度以及基因变异之间的关联仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们收集了58例胰腺癌患者的粪便样本,其中包括43例胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)和15例非PDAC患者,以及40例健康对照者,并进行了鸟枪法宏基因组测序和非靶向代谢组分析。PDAC患者根据治疗方法和肿瘤位置分为五组,包括未接受过治疗(UT)、化疗(CT)、手术联合化疗(SCT)、头部以及体部/尾部(Tail)组。多变量关联分析显示,CT和SCT均与[具体微生物名称1]和[具体微生物名称2]丰度增加有关。[具体微生物名称3]、[具体微生物名称4]和[具体微生物名称5]的微生物单核苷酸多态性(SNP)密度与CT呈正相关,而[具体微生物名称6]与头部组呈正相关。与Tail组相比,头部组与机会性病原体如[具体微生物名称7]、[具体微生物名称8]和[具体微生物名称9]呈正相关。我们组装了424个中等质量的非冗余宏基因组组装基因组(nrMAGs)和276个高质量的nrMAGs。在CT组中,吲哚 - 3 - 乙酸、辣椒素、黑芥子硫苷酸钾、鹅去氧胆酸和3 - 磷酸甘油增加,基于粪便代谢物的模型区分健康对照者和患者的准确率达到0.77。本研究确定了胰腺癌治疗与肠道微生物群及其代谢物之间的关联,揭示了细菌SNP与肿瘤位置有关,并扩展了我们对肠道微生物群和胰腺癌的认识。
