Disorders of gut microbiota and fecal-serum metabolic patterns are associated with pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculosis co-morbid type 2 diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are prevalent chronic diseases with substantial implications for human health. DM patients are more susceptible to PTB, which exacerbates diabetes-related complications. However, the complex molecular mechanisms underlying the enhanced susceptibility of DM patients to PTB infection remain poorly understood.

RESULTS: α-and β-diversity of gut microbiota were significantly reduced in PTB patients and PTB-DM patients. In addition, the abundances of families Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae in Firmicutes phylum were downregulated in PTB patients and further diminished in PTB-DM patients. On the other hand, untargeted metabolomics in frozen serum and stool samples indicated that such as Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, Arginine and proline metabolism, Tryptophan metabolism and Histidine metabolism et al were consistently and significantly altered in PTB patients and PTB-DM patients, with the significant upregulation of most metabolites. Amino acids like serine, proline, histidine et al were both remarkably elevated in PTB and PTB-DM patients. The correlation network analysis reveals the relationships between the shared microbial biomarkers and the shared metabolic pathways.

CONCLUSIONS: This research contributes to the exploration of pivotal diagnostic biomarkers for both patients with PTB and PTB accompanied by diabetes. Specifically, shared reductions were identified in the genera g-Roseburia, g-Ruminococcaceae_UCG.013, g-Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214, g-Lachnospiraceae_unclassified and g-Firmicutes_unclassified, in addition to notable regulation of amino acids like glycine, serine and histine in patients with PTB and PTB-DM. Our study expands the comprehension of the intricate connections linking gut microbiota, fecal metabolites and serum metabolites in PTB and PTB-DM patients.

Project description:Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are common chronic diseases that threaten human health. Patients with DM are susceptible to PTB, an important factor that aggravates the complications of diabetes. However, the molecular regulatory mechanism underlying the susceptibility of patients with DM to PTB infection remains unknown. Healthy subjects, patients with primary PTB and patients with primary PTB complicated by DM were recruited according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Peripheral whole blood was collected, and alteration profiles and potential molecular mechanisms were further analyzed using integrated bioinformatics analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics. In this study, transcriptional data revealed that lipocalin 2 (LCN2), defensin alpha 1 (DEFA1), peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1) and integrin subunit alpha 2b (ITGA2B) were significantly upregulated, while chloride intracellular channel 3 (CLIC3) significantly down-regulated in PTB-DM by contrast to HC group. Additionally, the IL-17, PI3K-AKT and PPAR signaling pathways are important for PTB infection and regulation of PTB-complicated diabetes. Metabolomic data showed that glycerophospholipid metabolism, carbon metabolism and fat digestion and absorption processes were enriched in the differential metabolic analysis. Finally, integrated analysis of both metabolomic and transcriptomic data indicated that the NOTCH1/JAK/STAT signaling pathway is important in PTB complicated by DM. In conclusion, PTB infection altered the transcriptional and metabolic profiles of patients with DM. Metabolomic and transcriptomic changes were highly correlated in PTB-infected patients with DM. Peripheral metabolite levels may be used as biomarkers for PTB management in patients with DM.IMPORTANCE: The comorbidity of diabetes mellitus (DM) significantly increases the risk of tuberculosis infection and adverse tuberculosis treatment outcomes. Most previous studies have focused on the relationship between the effect of blood glucose control and the outcome of anti-tuberculosis treatment in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB)-DM; however, early prediction and the underlying molecular mechanism of susceptibility to PTB infection in patients with DM remain unclear. Here, transcriptome sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were performed to elucidatethe key molecules and signaling pathways involved in PTB infection and the susceptibility of patients with diabetes to PTB. Our findings contribute to the development of vital diagnostic biomarkers for PTB or PTB-DM and provide acomprehensive understanding of molecular regulation during disease progression.
