Dysbiosis of urinary microbiota is positively correlated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be associated with altered urinary microbiota in female patients. We investigated alterations of urinary microbiota in Chinese female T2DM patients, and explored the associations between urinary microbiota and a patient's fasting blood glucose (FBG), urine glucose (UGLU), age, menstrual status, and body mass index (BMI). Midstream urine was collected from 70 female T2DM patients and 70 healthy females. Microbial diversity and composition were analyzed using the Illumina MiSeq sequencing platform by targeting the hypervariable V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. We found that bacterial diversity was decreased in T2DM patients. Increased Actinobacteria phylum was positively correlated with FBG, UGLU, and BMI; Lactobacillus abundance decreased with age and menopause; and increased Lactobacillus correlated positively with FBG and UGLU. Decreased Akkermansia muciniphila was associated with FBG and UGLU. Escherichia coli abundance did not differ between the two cohorts. Carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism was reduced in T2DM patients, which were associated with bacterial richness indices such as Chao1 and ACE. Detailed microbiota analysis of well-characterized T2DM patients and healthy controls indicate that Chinese T2DM female patients exhibit dysbiosis of urinary microbiota.

Project description:BackgroundGut microbiota dysbiosis is reportedly actively involved in autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, the alterations in the gut microbiota and their correlation with fasting blood glucose (FBG) in Chinese children with T1DM remain unclear.AimTo investigate alterations in the gut microbiota in Chinese children with T1DM and their associations with clinical indicators.MethodsSamples from 51 children with T1DM and 47 age-matched and gender-matched healthy controls were obtained, to explore the structural and functional alterations in the fecal microbiota. The V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced on a MiSeq instrument, and the association with FBG were analyzed.ResultsWe found that the bacterial diversity was significantly increased in the T1DM-associated fecal microbiota, and changes in the microbial composition were observed at different taxonomic levels. The T1DM-reduced differential taxa, such as Bacteroides vulgatus ATCC8482, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides xylanisolvens, and Flavonifractor plautii, were negatively correlated with FBG, while the T1DM-enriched taxa, such as Blautia, Eubacterium hallii group, Anaerostipes hadrus, and Dorea longicatena, were positively correlated with FBG. Bacteroides vulgatus ATCC8482, Bacteroides ovatus, the Eubacterium hallii group, and Anaerostipes hadrus, either alone or in combination, could be used as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers to discriminate children with T1DM from healthy controls. In addition, the functional changes in the T1DM-associated fecal microbiota also suggest that these fecal microbes were associated with altered functions and metabolic activities, such as glycan biosynthesis and metabolism and lipid metabolism, which might play vital roles in the pathogenesis and development of T1DM.ConclusionOur present comprehensive investigation of the T1DM-associated fecal microbiota provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of the disease and sheds light on the diagnosis and treatment of T1DM.

Project description:Evidence shows urine specimens from different women have different populations of bacteria. The co-occurrence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia in those with diabetes may alter the composition of urine and the microenviroment of the bladder in which bacteria live. The aim of this study was to characterize the urinary microbiota in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus only and those with diabetes plus hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia, and to explore whether the composition of the urinary microbiota is affected by fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids. We enrolled 28 individuals with diabetes only, 24 with diabetes plus hypertension, 7 with diabetes plus hyperlipidemia, and 11 with diabetes plus both hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Modified midstream urine collection technique was designed to obtain urine specimens. Bacterial genomic DNA was isolated using magnetic beads and the urinary microbiota was analyzed using the Illumina MiSeq Sequencing System based on the V3-V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Among the four cohorts, the diabetes plus hypertension cohort had the highest relative abundance of Proteobacteria. In contrast, the diabetes plus hyperlipidemia cohort had the lowest relative abundance of Proteobacteria. In addition, Escherichia and Gardnerella were not found in the diabetes plus hyperlipidemia cohort but they were found in all of the other cohorts. Cetobacterium was only present in the diabetes plus hypertension cohort. The most abundant bacteria in the diabetes only and diabetes plus hyperlipidemia cohorts was Lactobacillus, while Prevotella was the most abundant bacteria in the diabetes plus hypertension and diabetes plus hypertension and hyperlipidemia cohorts. Moreover, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus was significantly lower in the diabetes plus hypertension cohort than in the diabetes only and diabetes plus hyperlipidemia cohorts. Several bacteria were correlated with the participants' fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids. In conclusion, hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia and other patient factors can affect the composition of the urinary microbiota in those with diabetes. The insights from this study could be used to develop microbiota-based treatment for comorbid conditions, including urinary tract infections, in those with diabetes.

Project description:BackgroundAbnormal gut microbiota and blood trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) metabolome have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and advanced diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the gut microbiota profiles and a group of targeted urine metabolic characteristics in T2DM patients with or without microalbuminuria, to determine the correlation between the gut microbiota composition, trimethylamine (TMA) metabolism, and the clinical features during progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).MethodsThis study included 26 T2DM patients with microalbuminuria (Micro), 26 T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria (Normo), and 15 healthy controls (HC). Urine and Fecal samples were detected using ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequencing, respectively.ResultsThe TMAO/TMA ratio decreased gradually during the HC-Normo-Micro transition. The levels of TMA, choline and betaine were significantly different between the HC group and the T2DM patients belonging to both Normo and Micro groups. At the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) level, the gut microflora diversity was significantly reduced in the Micro groups compared to the HC groups and the Normo groups. Taxonomic analyses revealed significant consumption in the relative abundances of eight bacterial genera and significant enrichment of two bacterial genera during the HC-Normo-Micro transition. Furthermore, the relative abundances of six bacterial genera, namely, Ruminococcus_1, [Eubacterium]_ruminantium_group, Roseburia, Faecalibacterium, Fusicatenibacter and Coprococcus_3 exhibited significant differences, and were associated with elevated urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), TMAO/TMA, TMA and its precursors in the Micro group compared with the other groups.ConclusionThe imbalance of gut microbiota has occurred in patients with early-stage DKD, and the consumption of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria were associated with the accumulation of TMA and UACR.
