Huang HY, Li FR, Zhang YF, Lau HC, Hsueh CY, Zhou L, Zhang M. Metagenomic shotgun sequencing reveals the enrichment of Salmonella and Mycobacterium in larynx due to prolonged ethanol exposure. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2024; 23:396-405. [PMID: 38235358 PMCID: PMC10792199 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2023.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
The exposure of ethanol increases the risk of head and neck inflammation and tumor progression. However, limited studies have investigated the composition and functionality of laryngeal microbiota under ethanol exposure. We established an ethanol-exposed mouse model to investigate the changes in composition and function of laryngeal microbiota using Metagenomic shotgun sequencing. In the middle and late stages of the experiment, the laryngeal microbiota of mice exposed to ethanol exhibited obvious distinguished from that of the control group on principal-coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots. Among the highly abundant species, Salmonella enterica and Mycobacterium marinum were likely to be most impacted. Our findings indicated that the exposure to ethanol significantly increased their abundance in larynxes in mice of the same age, which has been confirmed through FISH experiments. Among the species-related functions and genes, metabolism is most severely affected by ethanol. The difference was most obvious in the second month of the experiment, which may be alleviated later because the animal established tolerance. Notable enrichments concerning energy, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolic pathways occurred during the second month under ethanol exposure. Finally, based on the correlation between species and functional variations, a network was established to investigate relationships among microbiota, functional pathways, and related genes affected by ethanol. Our data first demonstrated the continuous changes of abundance, function and their interrelationship of laryngeal microbiota under ethanol exposure by Metagenomic shotgun sequencing. Importance Ethanol may participate in the inflammation and tumor progression by affecting the composition of the laryngeal microbiota. Here, we applied the metagenomic shotgun sequencing instead of 16 S rRNA sequencing method to identify the laryngeal microbiota under ethanol exposure. Salmonella enterica and Mycobacterium marinum are two dominant species that may play a role in the reconstruction of the laryngeal microenvironment, as their local abundance increases following exposure to ethanol. The metabolic function is most evidently impacted, and several potential metabolic pathways could be associated with alterations in microbiota composition. These findings could help us better understand the impact of prolonged ethanol exposure on the microbial composition and functionality in the larynx.

The intratumor microbiome varies by geographical location and anatomical site in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Curr Probl Cancer 2024; 50:101100. [PMID: 38820649 DOI: 10.1016/j.currproblcancer.2024.101100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly heterogeneous cancer that is characterized by distinct phenotypes based on anatomical site and etiological agents. Recently, the intratumor microbiome has been implicated in cancer pathogenesis and progression. Although it is well established that the gut microbiome varies with geographical location and is highly influenced by factors such as diet, environment, and genetics, the intratumor microbiome is not very well characterized. In this review, we aim to characterize the HNSCC intratumor microbiome by geographical location and anatomical site. We conducted a review of primary literature from PubMed and assessed studies based on relevancy and recency. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to comprehensively examine the tumor microenvironment of HNSCC with respect to these two primary factors on a large scale. Our results suggest that there are unique bacterial and fungal biomarkers for HNSCC for each of the following geographical locations: North America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa. We also identified a panel of microbial biomarkers that are unique to two primary HNSCC anatomic sites, as well as microbial biomarkers associated with various etiological agents of HNSCC. Future study of these microbes may improve HNSCC diagnostic and therapeutic modalities by accounting for differences based on geographic regions and anatomical sites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) is a vital pro-oncogenic bacterium. Our previous study revealed that a high abundance of F. nucleatum in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is correlated with poor patient prognosis. However, the impact of F. nucleatum on metabolic reprogramming and tumor progression in HNSCC awaits more exploration. METHODS Liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry (LC‒MS) was applied to analyze the altered metabolites in a head and neck carcinoma cell line (AMC-HN-8) after coculture with F. nucleatum for 24 hrs and 48 hrs. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were used to screen for differential metabolites. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was further used to explore the metabolic changes. RESULTS We observed a significantly altered metabolic profile in AMC-HN-8 cells over time after coculture with F. nucleatum. Among the several enriched pathways, the purine metabolic pathway was the most significantly enriched (P = 0.0005), with downregulation of purine degradation. Furthermore, uric acid, the end product of purine metabolism, significantly reversed F. nucleatum-triggered tumor progression and altered the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Moreover, the negative correlation between the serum uric acid level and the abundance of F. nucleatum was verified in 113 HNSCC patients (P = 0.0412, R = - 0.1924). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed obviously aberrant purine metabolism driven by F. nucleatum in HNSCC, which was closely related to tumor progression and patient prognosis. These findings indicate the possibility of targeting F. nucleatum-induced purine metabolism reprogramming in the future treatment of HNSCC.

Abstract
Microorganisms are one of the important factors which maintain the homeostasis of human health. Despite recent advances, the relationship between microorganisms and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still unclear, and the impact of microorganisms on the incidence and prognosis of HNSCC cannot be neglected. Therefore, this article provides a systematic and comprehensive review summarizing the epidemiological evidence of microbial dysbiosis related to HNSCC and discusses the associations between them.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic complication (HC) is the most severe complication of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to build a machine learning (ML) prediction model and an application system for a personalized analysis of the risk of HC in patients undergoing IVT therapy. We included patients from Chongqing, Hainan and other centers, including Computed Tomography (CT) images, demographics, and other data, before the occurrence of HC. After feature engineering, a better feature subset was obtained, which was used to build a machine learning (ML) prediction model (Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB)), and then evaluated with relevant indicators. Finally, a prediction model with better performance was obtained. Based on this, an application system was built using the Flask framework. A total of 517 patients were included, of which 332 were in the training cohort, 83 were in the internal validation cohort, and 102 were in the external validation cohort. After evaluation, the performance of the XGB model is better, with an AUC of 0.9454 and ACC of 0.8554 on the internal validation cohort, and 0.9142 and ACC of 0.8431 on the external validation cohort. A total of 18 features were used to construct the model, including hemoglobin and fasting blood sugar. Furthermore, the validity of the model is demonstrated through decision curves. Subsequently, a system prototype is developed to verify the test prediction effect. The clinical decision support system (CDSS) embedded with the XGB model based on clinical data and image features can better carry out personalized analysis of the risk of HC in intravenous injection patients.

Abstract
Oral microbiome is a complex population of micro-organisms, which by cross-talking with the local immune system, plays a major role in the immune homeostasis of the oral cavity, further contributing in the physiology of the gastro-intestinal microbiota. Understanding their involvement in the onset and pathogenesis of oropharyngeal cancers is paramount, despite very few reports deal with the fundamental role exerted by oral microbiota disorders, such as dysbiosis and impairment in the oral microbiome composition as causative factors in the development of oropharyngeal tumors. Current research, via metabolomic or meta-transcriptomic analyses, is wondering how this complex microbial population regulates the immune homeostasis in oral and pharyngeal mucosa and whether changes in bacterial composition may give insights on the role of oral microbiome in the development of oropharyngeal tumors, so to prevent their occurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysbiosis of the laryngeal microbiota has been demonstrated to the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but the association of Fusobacterium and Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) and microsatellite instability (MSI) has not been investigated. METHODS The abundance of Fusobacterium and F. nucleatum, the status of deficient MMR (dMMR) and MSI, and MMR-related gene expression were analyzed in 171 HNSCC tissues, 61 paired para-tumor tissues, and 60 vocal cord polyp tissues. The molecular mechanism of F. nucleatum and MMR-related gene expression were investigated in two human HNSCC cell lines (Tu 686 and FD-LSC-1). RESULTS Our results demonstrated that a high Fusobacterium abundance was detected in the HNSCC tissues and was exaggerated in the recurrent patients. We further found that a high Fusobacterium abundance was detected in the HNSCC tissues with dMMR and MSI. The Fusobacterium abundance was negatively correlated with the expression of MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 in the HNSCC tissues. The Fusobacterium abundance was closely associated with the F. nucleatum abundance in the HNSCC tissues. F. nucleatum increased miR-205-5p expression to suppress MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 expression via the TLR4- and MYD88-dependent innate immune signaling pathway, resulting in dMMR, DNA damage, and cell proliferation in HNSCC. CONCLUSIONS F. nucleatum impacts HNSCC epigenetic changes in tissues with dMMR to promote DNA damage and cell proliferation by suppressing MMR-related gene expression via the TLR4/MYD88/miR-205-5p signaling pathway, which is valuable in the development of efficient strategies for HNSCC prevention and treatment. LAY SUMMARY This study clearly indicates that Fusobacterium induced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) aggressiveness to affect poor prognosis in HNSCC patients by epigenetic alteration of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) and microsatellite instability. Moreover, the research has shown that Fusobacterium nucleatum ( F. nucleatum ) impacts HNSCC epigenetic changes in tissues with deficient MMR to promote DNA damage and cell proliferation by suppressing MMRrelated gene expression via the TLR4/MYD88/miR-205-5p signaling pathway.

Abstract
Aims To clarify the absolute abundance of microbial communities on hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and their correlation to those in the oropharynx. Methods Clinical data, swabs, and tissue samples from 27 HPSCC patients were collected in this study and divided into three sampling groups: 19 oropharyngeal mucosa (OPM), 27 hypopharyngeal carcinomas tissues (HC), and 26 corresponding adjacent tissues (AT). Relative microbiome profiling (RMP), and quantitative microbiome profiling (QMP) of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing were used for analysis. Results Beta-diversity showed that abundance and phylogenetic tree in OPM group were less when compared to either HC and AT. Although HC and AT were found to have similar microbiota, Bray-Curtis based beta-diversity still highlighted differences. Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas, Haemophilus, and Peptostreptococcus at the genus level in OPM were positively correlated with HC. After categorizing HC through TNM staging, the abundance of genera Fusobacterium, Parvimonas, and Dialister were found to be enhanced in higher T classifications (T3-4) and advanced stages (Ⅳ). Conclusions QMP yielded more comprehensive results than RMP. Dysbiosis was found in OPM groups and could be used to narrow down differential microbiome for the HC group. Genera of Parvimonas, Fusobacterium, and Dialister were deemed asrisk factors of advanced HPSCC.

Abstract
A wealth of evidence has suggested that gastrointestinal dysfunction is associated with the onset and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mechanisms underlying these links remain to be defined. Here, we investigated the impact of deregulation of intestinal dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) signaling in response to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Dopamine/dopamine signaling in the mouse colon decreased with ageing. Selective ablation of Drd2, but not Drd4, in the intestinal epithelium, caused a more severe loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra following MPTP challenge, and this was accompanied by a reduced abundance of succinate-producing Alleoprevotella in the gut microbiota. Administration of succinate markedly attenuated dopaminergic neuronal loss in MPTP-treated mice by elevating the mitochondrial membrane potential. This study suggests that intestinal epithelial DRD2 activity and succinate from the gut microbiome contribute to the maintenance of nigral DA neuron survival. These findings provide a potential strategy targeting neuroinflammation-related neurological disorders such as PD.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption, which affects the structure and composition of the laryngeal microbiota, is one of the most important risk factors for laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC). Our results demonstrated that high enrichment of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in LSCC was associated with poor prognosis. F. nucleatum increased miR-155-5p and miR-205-5p expression to suppress alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) and transforming growth factor β receptor 2 (TGFBR2) expression by activating innate immune signaling, resulting in ethanol metabolism reprogramming to allow F. nucleatum accumulation and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition, further exacerbating the uncontrolled progression and metastasis of LSCC. Therefore, the positive feed-forward loop between F. nucleatum and ethanol metabolism reprogramming promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion to affect LSCC patient prognosis. The amount of F. nucleatum is a potential prognostic biomarker, which yields valuable insight into clinical management that may improve the oncologic outcome of patients with LSCC.

Lau HC, Hsueh CY, Gong H, Sun J, Huang HY, Zhang M, Zhou L. Oropharynx microbiota transitions in hypopharyngeal carcinoma treatment of induced chemotherapy followed by surgery. BMC Microbiol 2021; 21:310. [PMID: 34753420 PMCID: PMC8577011 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-021-02362-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS To analyze changes in oropharynx microbiota composition after receiving induced chemotherapy followed by surgery for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) patients. METHODS Clinical data and swab samples of 38 HPSCC patients (HPSCC group) and 30 patients with benign disease (control group, CG) were enrolled in the study. HPSCC group was stratified into two groups: induced chemotherapy group (IC) of 10 patients and non-induced chemotherapy group (nIC) of 28 patients. The microbiota from oropharyngeal membrane was analyzed through 16S rRNA sequencing. RESULTS Alpha-diversity (Shannon and Ace indexes) and weighted UniFrac based beta-diversity severely decreased in the HPSCC group when compared with CG. In pre-operative comparisons, PCoA and NMDS analyses showed microbial structures in the IC group were more similar to CG than nIC. Both IC group and nIC group yielded significantly diverse post-operative communities in contrast to their pre-operative counterparts, evident by the decrease in genera Veillonella and Fusobacterium and increase in genera Streptococcus and Gemella. Given that post-operative oropharynx microbiota showed no difference between IC and nIC groups, the IC group showed less accumulation in anaerobic communities. The abundance of genera Fusobacterium, Parvimonas, Actinomyces were enhanced in the advanced stages (III/IV). CONCLUSIONS Oropharynx microbiota in the HPSCC group presents dysbiosis with low diversity and abundance. Induced chemotherapy is beneficial in adjusting the oropharynx microbial environment leading to fewer amounts of anaerobe accumulation after operation. Higher amounts of Fusobacterium in advanced stages (III/IV) may influence the progression of HPSCC.
