对施暴者ed Metagenomic and Metabolomic Analysis

Metagenomic and metabolomics integrated analysis, which can explain the correlation between specific flora, gene function and specific metabolites from multiple perspectives, is used to screen key functional strains and metabolites for changes in the metabolic state of flora or functional metabolic small molecules. At present, more and more life science researchers are applying integrated metagenome andmetabolome analysisto better explain life science problems from multiple levels and perspectives by analyzing biological problems from both microbial and metabolic perspectives, and by correlating microbes with metabolites.

An integrated metagenomics andmetabolomicsapproach implicates the microbiota-gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease

Journal: Neurobiol Dis

Published: 2021

Abstract

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder in which the onset and severity of symptoms are influenced by various environmental factors. Recent findings emphasize the importance of the gastrointestinal microbiome in mediating bidirectional gut-brain axis communication through circulating factors. The authors integrated metagenomic andmetabolomic analyses, and utilizing sequencing using the birdshot method, we investigated the gut microbial composition of the R6/1 transgenic HD mouse model from 4 to 12 weeks of age (early puberty to adulthood) and also performed targeted metabolomics on the plasma of these 12-week-old mice (9 mice in each group) in order to study the potential impact of gut dysbiosis on the metabolomic profile of the plasma.

Results

At the phylum level, the gut microbiomes of both groups were dominated by members of theBacteroidetesandFirmicutesphyla, followed by members of the变形菌门,Actinobacteria, andVerrucomicrobia phylain much lower abundances. The phylum composition was examined at 5 different time points based on Birdshot metagenomic sequencing data ( Figure 1). No significant differences were observed when HD mice were compared with WT mice at any time point.

Figure 1

KO pathways identified by sPLS-DA at week 12 included galactose metabolism and benzoate degradation, both of which showed reduced levels in the HD gut microbiome compared to WT littermates. In addition, sulfur metabolism, lysine degradation, glutathione metabolism, and butyric acid metabolism were identified by sPLS-DA and showed increased levels of the HD gut microbiome at 12 weeks of age compared with WT littermates (Figure 2).

Figure 2

Multi-omics integration reveals previously unknown relationships between the gut microbiome and plasma metabolites. The authors used DIABLO to integrate CLR-transformed birdshot metagenomic data and median-normalized plasma metabolome data to characterize 30 bacterial species, 20 genes, and metabolites that were highly correlated.Further visualization in Cytoscape showed that many microbes were found to be highly correlated with butyrate, homocitrulline, ATP, L-asparagine, 3 -methylhistidine, orotic acid, and isobutyrylglycine were highly correlated (Figure 3).

Conclusion

Instability of the HD gut microbiota during the premotor symptomatic phase of the disease, which may have dire consequences for host health. Combining metagenomic data and metabolomic data, the authors demonstrate through the present study that HD gut microbiome function is disturbed prior to the onset of significant cognitive and motor dysfunction, suggesting a potential role for the gut in regulating the pathogenesis of HD, possibly through plasma metabolites that mediate specific alterations in gut-brain signaling.
