Microbial roles in cancer formation, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment have been disputed for centuries. Recent studies provocatively claimed that bacteria, viruses, and/or fungi are pervasive among cancers, key actors immunotherapy, engineerable to treat metastases. Despite these findings, the number of microbes known directly cause carcinogenesis remains small. Critically evaluating building frameworks such evidence light modern biology is an important task. In this Review, we delineate between causal complicit trace common themes their influence through host's immune system, herein defined as immuno-oncology-microbiome axis. We further review intratumoral approaches manipulate gut or tumor microbiome while projecting next phase experimental discovery.

A practical guide to amplicon and metagenomic analysis of microbiome data

Protein & Cell, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 12(5), С. 315 - 330

Опубликована: Май 11, 2020

Abstract Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) have fostered rapid developments the field of microbiome research, and massive datasets are now being generated. However, diversity software tools complexity analysis pipelines make it difficult to access this field. Here, we systematically summarize advantages limitations methods. Then, recommend specific for amplicon metagenomic analyses, describe commonly-used databases, help researchers select appropriate tools. Furthermore, introduce statistical visualization methods suitable analysis, including alpha- beta-diversity, taxonomic composition, difference comparisons, correlation, networks, machine learning, evolution, source tracing, common styles informed choices. Finally, a step-by-step reproducible guide is introduced. We hope review will allow carry out data more effectively quickly order efficiently mine biological significance behind data.

Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiota play a crucial role in bidirectional communication between and brain suggesting microbes may shape neural development, modulate neurotransmission affect behavior, thereby contribute to pathogenesis and/or progression of many neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, neurological conditions. This review summarizes recent data on microbiota-gut-brain axis pathophysiology neuropsychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson's disease, migraine, epilepsy. Also, involvement co-existing with conditions is highlighted. We discuss from both vivo preclinical experiments clinical reports including: (1) studies germ-free animals, (2) exploring composition animal models diseases or humans, (3) evaluating effects probiotic, prebiotic antibiotic treatment as well (4) fecal transplantation.

Host diet and evolutionary history explain different aspects of gut microbiome diversity among vertebrate clades

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 10(1)

Опубликована: Май 16, 2019

Abstract Multiple factors modulate microbial community assembly in the vertebrate gut, though studies disagree as to their relative contribution. One cause may be a reliance on captive animals, which can have very different gut microbiomes compared wild counterparts. To resolve this disagreement, we analyze new, large, and highly diverse animal distal 16 S rRNA microbiome dataset, comprises 80% animals includes members of Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, Actinopterygii. We decouple effects host evolutionary history diet diversity show that each factor modulates aspects diversity. Moreover, particular taxa associated with phylogeny or Mammalia stronger signal cophylogeny. Finally, find environmental filtering microbe-microbe interactions differ among clades. These findings provide robust assessment processes driving intestine.

A collection of bacterial isolates from the pig intestine reveals functional and taxonomic diversity

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 11(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 15, 2020

Our knowledge about the gut microbiota of pigs is still scarce, despite importance these animals for biomedical research and agriculture. Here, we present a collection cultured bacteria from pig gut, including 110 species across 40 families nine phyla. We provide taxonomic descriptions 22 novel 16 genera. Meta-analysis 16S rRNA amplicon sequence data metagenome-assembled genomes reveal prevalent pig-specific within Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Clostridium, Desulfovibrio, Enterococcus, Fusobacterium, several new genera described in this study. Potentially interesting functions discovered organisms include fucosyltransferase encoded genome Clostridium porci, gene clusters biosynthesis sactipeptide-like peptides. Many strains deconjugate primary bile acids vitro assays, scindens strain produces secondary via dehydroxylation. In addition, cells Bullifex porci are coccoidal or spherical under culture conditions tested, contrast with usual helical shape other members family Spirochaetaceae. The collection, called 'Pig intestinal bacterial collection' (PiBAC), publicly available at www.dsmz.de/pibac opens avenues functional studies microbiota.
