Breast cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy, can affect the microbiome and microenvironment of the human body. The present study examined how the microbiome changes before and after treatment in patients with breast cancer and explored variations in the expression of putative proteins linked to these shifts. Forty-five patients enrolled in this study, and blood samples were collected and sequenced to analyze microbiome composition. Using these sequences, we estimated and compared the putative protein expression levels. In addition, complete blood count results were analyzed to evaluate treatment-induced alterations. The findings indicate that treatment leads to microbiome modifications associated with changes in the human microenvironment. Moreover, key putative proteins involved in these processes were identified. This study provides valuable insights into how breast cancer treatment affects the microbiome and helps elucidate the potential role of microbial protein expression in patient outcomes.
乳腺癌治疗,包括手术、化疗、放疗和内分泌治疗,会影响人体的微生物群和微环境。本研究调查了乳腺癌患者治疗前后微生物群的变化,并探索了与这些变化相关的假定蛋白质表达的差异。45名患者参与了本研究,采集血样并进行测序以分析微生物群组成。利用这些序列,我们估计并比较了假定蛋白质的表达水平。此外,分析全血细胞计数结果以评估治疗引起的改变。研究结果表明,治疗会导致与人类微环境变化相关的微生物群改变。此外,还鉴定了参与这些过程的关键假定蛋白质。本研究为乳腺癌治疗如何影响微生物群提供了有价值的见解,并有助于阐明微生物蛋白质表达在患者预后中的潜在作用。
