The gastric mucosal-associated microbiome in patients with gastric polyposis.

ABSTRACT: The characteristics of the gastric microbiota in patients with gastric polyposis (GP) remain unclear. Given this we collected gastric antrum and gastric body biopsies from healthy controls (HC.A and HC.B group) and gastric antrum, gastric body and polyp biopsies from patients with multiple gastric polyps (GP.A, GP.B and GP.P group) for 16S rDNA sequencing. The results showed that the diversity of the gastric flora in the GP group was significantly lower than that of the HC group. The gastric flora composition of the GP group was significantly different from the HC group. However, flora diversity and compositions in different parts of the stomach (gastric antrum, gastric body or polyp tissue) were not significantly different. H. pylori abundance could influence the composition of gastric microbiota. Meanwhile, patients with fundic gland polyps (FGPs) and those with hyperplastic polyps (HPs) had considerably similar gastric bacterial compositions. We constructed a microbial dysbiosis index (MDI) based on the gastric microbiota at the genus level as a predictive model, and it was able to distinguish between individuals in the GP and HC groups. These findings showed that intragastric flora dysbiosis may be closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric polyps.

Project description:Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common disease affecting oral mucosae. Etiology is unknown, but several factors have been implicated, all of which influence the composition of microbiota residing on oral mucosae, which in turn modulates immunity and thereby affects disease progression. Although no individual pathogens have been conclusively shown to be causative agents of RAS, imbalanced composition of the oral microbiota may play a key role. In this study, we sought to determine composition profiles of bacterial microbiota in the oral mucosa associated with RAS. Using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we characterized the most abundant bacterial populations residing on healthy and ulcerated mucosae in patients with RAS (recruited using highly stringent criteria) and no associated medical conditions; we also compared these to the bacterial microbiota of healthy controls (HCs). Phylum-level diversity comparisons revealed decreased Firmicutes and increased Proteobacteria in ulcerated sites, as compared with healthy sites in RAS patients, and no differences between RAS patients with healthy sites and HCs. Genus-level analysis demonstrated higher abundance of total Bacteroidales in RAS patients with healthy sites over HCs. Porphyromonadaceae comprising species associated with periodontal disease and Veillonellaceae predominated in ulcerated sites over HCs, while no quantitative differences of these families were observed between healthy sites in RAS patients and HCs. Streptococcaceae comprising species associated with oral health predominated in HCs over ulcerated sites but not in HCs over healthy sites in RAS patients. This study demonstrates that mucosal microbiome changes in patients with idiopathic RAS--namely, increased Bacteroidales species in mucosae of RAS patients not affected by active ulceration. While these changes suggest a microbial role in initiation of RAS, this study does not provide data on causality. Within this limitation, the study contributes to the understanding of the potential role of mucosal microbiome changes in oral mucosal disease.

Project description:Expression profiling is a well established tool for the genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional activity of human neoplasia. However, the high sensitivity of this approach combined with the well-known cellular and molecular heterogeneity of cancer often result in extremely complex and extended expression signatures of difficult functional interpretation. The majority of sporadic colorectal cancer cases are triggered by mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene leading to constitutive activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway and adenoma formation. Notwithstanding this common genetic basis, colorectal cancers are very heterogeneous in their degree of differentiation, growth rate and malignant potential. Here, we applied cross-species comparison of expression profiles of intestinal polyps derived from hereditary colorectal cancer patients carrying APC germline mutations, and from a mouse model carrying a targeted inactivating mutation in the mouse homologue Apc. This comparative approach resulted in the establishment of a conserved signature encompassing 166 genes differentially expressed between adenomas and normal intestinal mucosa in both species. Functional analysis of the conserved genes revealed a general increase in cell proliferation and the activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signal transduction pathway, as expected from the selection of APC/Apc-mutant intestinal adenomas. Moreover, the conserved signature is able to resolve expression profiles from hereditary polyposis patients carrying APC germline mutations from those with bi-allelic incativation of the MYH gene. Keywords: normal versus tumor comparison; compare expression profiles from microdissected samples with distinct germline mutations (FAP vs. MAP). Here, we report the expression profiles from normal and intestinal adenomatous tissue from FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) and MAP (MUTY-associated polyposis) patients with established APC and MUTY germline mutations. Total RNA samples were obtianed by laser capture microdissection.
