Network construction of gastric microbiome and organization of microbial modules associated with gastric carcinogenesis.

ABSTRACT: In addition to Helicobacter pylori infection, nitrosating/nitrate-reducing bacteria and type IV secretion system (T4SS) protein gene-contributing bacteria have been proposed as potential causes of gastric cancer development. However, bacterial modules related with gastric carcinogenesis have not been clarified. In this study, we analyzed gastric microbiome using the gastric mucosal samples obtained from the Hanyang University Gastric Microbiome Cohort by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Weighted correlation network analysis was performed to construct a microbiome network and to identify microbial modules associated with gastric carcinogenesis. At the family level, 420 bacterial taxa were identified in the gastric microbiome of 83 participants. Through network analysis, 18 microbial modules were organized. Among them, two modules-pink and brown-were positively correlated with a higher-risk of gastric cancer development such as intestinal metaplasia with no current H. pylori infection (correlation coefficient [?]: pink module, 0.31 [P?=?0.004], brown module, 0.26 [P?=?0.02]). At the family level, twenty-two and thirty-two bacterial taxa belonged to the pink and brown modules, respectively. They included nitrosating/nitrate-reducing bacteria, T4SS protein gene-contributing bacteria, and various other bacteria, including Gordoniaceae, Tsukamurellaceae, Prevotellaceae, Cellulomonadaceae, Methylococcaceae, and Procabacteriaceae. The blue module, which included H. pylori, was correlated negatively with intestinal metaplasia (??=?-0.49 [P?

Project description:BackgroundThe metabolic interactions of microbes significantly affect the assembly of microbial communities that play important roles in biogeochemical processes. However, most interspecies interactions between microorganisms in natural communities remain unknown, leading to a poor understanding of community assembly mechanisms.ResultsHere, we used a genome-scale metabolic modeling-based approach to explore the potential interactions among bacteria and archaea in mangrove sediments. More than half of the assembled microbial species ([Formula: see text]) combined about 3000 pairwise metabolic interaction relationship with high potential. The examples of predicted interactions are consistent with the implications of studies based on microbial enrichment/culture, indicating the feasibility of our strategy for extracting diverse potential interactions from complex interspecies networks. Moreover, a substantial number of previously unknown microbial metabolic interactions were also predicted. We proposed a concept of microbial active functional module (mAFM), defined as a consortium constituted by a group of microbes possessing relatively high metabolic interactions via which they can actively realize certain dominant functions in element transformations. Based on the metabolic interactions and the transcript distribution of microorganisms, five mAFMs distributed in different layers of the sediments were identified. The whole group of mAFMs covered most of the principal pathways in the cycle of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, while each module possessed divergently dominant functions. According to thinctiis diston, we inferred that the mAFMs participated in the element cycles via their intra-cycle and the inter-exchange among them and the sediments.ConclusionsThe results of this study greatly expanded interaction potential of microbes in mangrove sediments, which could provide supports for prospective mutualistic system construction and microbial enrichment culture. Furthermore, the mAFMs can help to extract valuable microbial metabolic interactions from the whole community and to profile the functioning of the microbial community that promote biogeochemical cycling in mangrove sediments.

Project description:BackgroundDue to the complexity of the metabolic pathway network of active ingredients, precise targeted synthesis of any active ingredient on a synthetic network is a huge challenge. Based on a complete analysis of the active ingredient pathway in a species, this goal can be achieved by elucidating the functional differences of each enzyme in the pathway and achieving this goal through different combinations. Lignans are a class of phytoestrogens that are present abundantly in plants and play a role in various physiological activities of plants due to their structural diversity. In addition, lignans offer various medicinal benefits to humans. Despite their value, the low concentration of lignans in plants limits their extraction and utilization. Recently, synthetic biology approaches have been explored for lignan production, but achieving the synthesis of most lignans, especially the more valuable lignan glycosides, across the entire synthetic network remains incomplete.ResultsBy evaluating various gene construction methods and sequences, we determined that the pCDF-Duet-Prx02-PsVAO gene construction was the most effective for the production of (+)-pinoresinol, yielding up to 698.9 mg/L after shake-flask fermentation. Based on the stable production of (+)-pinoresinol, we synthesized downstream metabolites in vivo. By comparing different fermentation methods, including "one-cell, one-pot" and "multicellular one-pot", we determined that the "multicellular one-pot" method was more effective for producing (+)-lariciresinol, (-)-secoisolariciresinol, (-)-matairesinol, and their glycoside products. The "multicellular one-pot" fermentation yielded 434.08 mg/L of (+)-lariciresinol, 96.81 mg/L of (-)-secoisolariciresinol, and 45.14 mg/L of (-)-matairesinol. Subsequently, ultilizing the strict substrate recognition pecificities of UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) incorporating the native uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG) Module for in vivo synthesis of glycoside products resulted in the following yields: (+)-pinoresinol glucoside: 1.71 mg/L, (+)-lariciresinol-4-O-D-glucopyranoside: 1.3 mg/L, (+)-lariciresinol-4'-O-D-glucopyranoside: 836 µg/L, (-)-secoisolariciresinol monoglucoside: 103.77 µg/L, (-)-matairesinol-4-O-D-glucopyranoside: 86.79 µg/L, and (-)-matairesinol-4'-O-D-glucopyranoside: 74.5 µg/L.ConclusionsBy using various construction and fermentation methods, we successfully synthesized 10 products of the lignan pathway in Isatis indigotica Fort in Escherichia coli, with eugenol as substrate. Additionally, we obtained a diverse range of lignan products by combining different modules, setting a foundation for future high-yield lignan production.

Project description:Gastric Carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in the world. A large number of differentially expressed genes have been identified as being associated with gastric cancer progression, however, little is known about the underlying regulatory mechanisms. To address this problem, we developed a differential networking approach that is characterized by including a nascent methodology, differential coexpression analysis (DCEA), and two novel quantitative methods for differential regulation analysis. We first applied DCEA to a gene expression dataset of gastric normal mucosa, adenoma and carcinoma samples to identify gene interconnection changes during cancer progression, based on which we inferred normal, adenoma, and carcinoma-specific gene regulation networks by using linear regression model. It was observed that cancer genes and drug targets were enriched in each network. To investigate the dynamic changes of gene regulation during carcinogenesis, we then designed two quantitative methods to prioritize differentially regulated genes (DRGs) and gene pairs or links (DRLs) between adjacent stages. It was found that known cancer genes and drug targets are significantly higher ranked. The top 4% normal vs. adenoma DRGs (36 genes) and top 6% adenoma vs. carcinoma DRGs (56 genes) proved to be worthy of further investigation to explore their association with gastric cancer. Out of the 16 DRGs involved in two top-10 DRG lists of normal vs. adenoma and adenoma vs. carcinoma comparisons, 15 have been reported to be gastric cancer or cancer related. Based on our inferred differential networking information and known signaling pathways, we generated testable hypotheses on the roles of GATA6, ESRRG and their signaling pathways in gastric carcinogenesis. Compared with established approaches which build genome-scale GRNs, or sub-networks around differentially expressed genes, the present one proved to be better at enriching cancer genes and drug targets, and prioritizing disease-related genes on the dataset we considered. We propose this extendable differential networking framework as a promising way to gain insights into gene regulatory mechanisms underlying cancer progression and other phenotypic changes.
