Dysbiosis of lower respiratory tract microbiome are associated with proinflammatory states in non-small cell lung cancer patients. Thorac Cancer 2024; 15:111-121. [PMID: 38041547 PMCID: PMC10788479 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.15166] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The lung has a sophisticated microbiome, and respiratory illnesses are greatly influenced by the lung microbiota. Despite the fact that numerous studies have shown that lung cancer patients have a dysbiosis as compared to healthy people, more research is needed to explore the association between the microbiota dysbiosis and immune profile within the tumor microenvironment (TME). METHODS In this study, we performed metagenomic sequencing of tumor and normal tissues from 61 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and six patients with other lung diseases. In order to characterize the impact of the microbes in TME, the cytokine concentrations of 24 lung tumor and normal tissues were detected using a multiple cytokine panel. RESULTS Our results showed that tumors had lower microbiota diversity than the paired normal tissues, and the microbiota of NSCLC was enriched in Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. In addition, proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-8, MIF, TNF- α, and so on, were significantly upregulated in tumor tissues. CONCLUSION We discovered a subset of bacteria linked to host inflammatory signaling pathways and, more precisely, to particular immune cells. We determined that lower airway microbiome dysbiosis may be linked to the disruption of the equilibrium of the immune system causing lung inflammation. The spread of lung cancer may be linked to specific bacteria.

Abstract
As our "hidden organ", microbes widely co-exist at various sites on the human body. These microbes are collectively referred to as the microbiome. A considerable number of studies have already proven that the microbiome has significant impacts on human health and disease progression, including cancers. The recent discovery of cancer-specific microbiomes renders these cancer-associated microbes as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. While at low biomass levels, the lung microbiome still dramatically influences the initiation, progression and treatment of lung cancers. However, research on lung cancer-associated microbiomes is emerging, and most profiling studies are performed within three years. Unfortunately, there are substantial inconsistencies across these studies. Variations in microbial diversity were observed, and different microbial biomarkers for lung cancer have been proposed. In this review, we summarized the current findings of lung cancer microbiome studies and attempt to explain the potential reasons for the dissimilarities. Other than lung microbiomes, oral and airway microbiomes are highly related to lung microbiomes and are therefore included as well. In addition, several lung cancer-associated bacterial genera have been detected by different independent studies. These bacterial genera may not be perfect biomarkers, but they still serve as promising risk factors for lung cancers and show great prognostic value.

Unlocking the Potential of the Human Microbiome for Identifying Disease Diagnostic Biomarkers. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12071742. [PMID: 35885645 PMCID: PMC9315466 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12071742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The human microbiome encodes more than three million genes, outnumbering human genes by more than 100 times, while microbial cells in the human microbiota outnumber human cells by 10 times. Thus, the human microbiota and related microbiome constitute a vast source for identifying disease biomarkers and therapeutic drug targets. Herein, we review the evidence backing the exploitation of the human microbiome for identifying diagnostic biomarkers for human disease. We describe the importance of the human microbiome in health and disease and detail the use of the human microbiome and microbiota metabolites as potential diagnostic biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancer, as well as inflammatory, neurological, and metabolic diseases. Thus, the human microbiota has enormous potential to pave the road for a new era in biomarker research for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The scientific community needs to collaborate to overcome current challenges in microbiome research concerning the lack of standardization of research methods and the lack of understanding of causal relationships between microbiota and human disease.

Abstract
The identification of microbes enriched in the healthy lung has led to the compelling discovery that microbes may contribute to lung cancer pathogenesis. Here, we review the recent literature showing microbial associations with lung cancer as well as the functional features that have been identified in human and murine studies. Most biomarker data remain limited due to variable findings. However, multiple studies have found that lung tumors or ipsilateral airway samples have decreased α diversity compared to normal tissue. Specific genera, such as Veillonella and Streptococcus, were also found in association with lung tumors using multiple sampling methodologies. These microbes, which are generally found in the upper respiratory track, are associated with an IL-17 signature in the lung, potentially resulting in a pro-tumorigenic environment. Studies detailing these immune mechanisms are limited, and further investigation is necessary to delineate how these bacteria, their metabolites, and potentially tumor-associated neoantigens modulate the immune response in cancer.

Abstract
The role of lung microbiota in non-small cell lung cancer remains unclear. We investigated the characteristics and functional roles of lung microbiota in non-small cell lung cancer. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were obtained from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (n = 46) and with benign lung disease (n = 29). The differences in composition and gene expression in the microbiota between the samples were analyzed using 16s rRNA sequencing. The oncogenic genus (Veillonella) was then evaluated in the progression of lung cancer in C57 BL/6 mice. Compared to benign lung disease, the lung microbiota in non-small cell lung cancer was significantly altered, both in terms of α- and β-diversity. In terms of bacterial composition, the non-small cell lung cancer group was enriched with two Phyla (Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes) and three genera (Streptococcus, Prevotella, Veillonella). Prevotella and Veillonella were most strongly associated with non-small cell lung cancer, and Veillonella significantly promoted the progression of lung cancer in vivo. Moreover, metabolic prediction revealed that ribosomes, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and pyrimidine metabolism were among the enriched pathways that may be involved in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer. Overall, results suggest that the progression of non-small cell lung cancer is followed by significant changes in the composition and function of the lung microbiota. These differing genera may be potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:7713355.

Abstract
Codonopsis lanceolata is a perennial smelly herbaceous plant and widely employed for the treatment of various lung cancer and inflammation. However, the anticancer substances in C. lanceolata and their underlying mechanisms had not been well clarified. In this study, six compounds were obtained from the water extracts of C. lanceolata polyacetylenes (CLP) and then identified as syringin, codonopilodiynoside A, lobetyol, isolariciresinol, lobetyolin, and atractylenolide III. Treatment with CLP remarkably suppressed the cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells. Synergistic effects of lobetyolin and lobetyol were equivalent to the antiproliferative activities of CLP, while other compounds did not have any inhibition on the viabilities of A549 cells. CLP also reduced the expression of Ras, PI3K, p-AKT, Bcl-2, cyclin D1, and CDK4 but increased the expression of Bax, GSK-3β, clv-caspase-3, and clv-caspase-9, which could be reversed by the PI3K activator 740YP. Furthermore, CLP retarded the growths of tumor and lung pathogenic bacteria in mice. It demonstrated that lobetyolin and lobetyol were the main antitumor compounds in C. lanceolata. CLP induced cell apoptosis of lung cancer cells via inactivation of the Ras/PI3K/AKT pathway and ameliorated lung dysbiosis, suggesting the therapeutic potentials for treating human lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating studies have suggested the airway microbiota in lung cancer patients is significantly different from that of healthy controls. However, little is known about the relationship between airway microbiota and important clinical parameters of lung cancer. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between sputum microbiota and lung cancer stage, lymph node metastasis, intrathoracic metastasis, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation. METHODS The microbiota of sputum samples from 85 newly-diagnosed NSCLC patients were sequenced via 16S rRNA sequencing of the V3-V4 region. Sequencing reads were filtered using QIIME2 and clustered against UPARSE. RESULTS Alpha- and β-diversity was significantly different between patients in stages I to II (early stage, ES) and patients in stages III to IV (advanced stage, AS). Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) identified that genera Granulicatella and Actinobacillus were significantly enriched in ES, and the genus Actinomyces was significantly enriched in AS. PICRUSt2 identified that the NAD salvage pathway was significantly enriched in AS, which was positively associated with Granulicatella. Patients with intrathoracic metastasis were associated with increased genus Peptostreptococcus and incomplete reductive TCA cycle, which was associated with increased Peptostreptococcus. Genera Parvimonas, Pseudomona and L-valine biosynthesis were positively associated with lymph node metastasis. L-valine biosynthesis was related with increased Pseudomona. Finally, the genus Parvimonas was significantly enriched in adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation. CONCLUSION The taxonomy structure differed between different lung cancer stages. The tumor stage, intrathoracic metastasis, lymph node metastasis, and EGFR mutation were associated with alteration of specific airway genera and metabolic function of sputum microbiota.

Abstract
Microbiota-host interaction plays an important role in cancer predisposing, initiation, progression, and response to therapy. Here, we explored the composition of lung tissue microbiota in 143 Chinese patients through conducting 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while TP53 mutation in tumor cells was assessed simultaneously. We found PAH-degrading microbes were more abundant in lung tumor microbiota from smokers. Furthermore, TP53 mutation was more prevalent in smokers, and TP53-mutated tumor harbored more Massilia, as well as Acidovorax that was also capable of degrading PAH. Further analysis showed DNA recombination and repair pathway was enriched in microbiota of smokers, which was convergent to the alteration occurred in tumor cells. Meanwhile, the microbiota of TP53-mutated tumor also exhibited dysregulation of p53 signaling pathway. Our results provided insights into the association of lung commensal microbes with tobacco exposure and host gene mutation, suggesting microbiota and tumor cells might undergo convergent alteration and mutually benefit each other. PAH-degrading microbes were more abundant in lung tumor microbiota from smokers p53 signaling pathway was dysregulated in microbiota from TP53-mutated lung tumors Microbiota and host cell in tumor microenvironment underwent convergent alteration

Abstract
With the discovery of the lung microbiota, its study in both pulmonary health and disease has become a vibrant area of emerging research interest. Thus far, most studies have described the lung microbiota composition in lung disease quite well, and some of these studies indicated alterations in lung microbial communities related to the onset and development of lung disease and vice versa. However, the underlying mechanisms, particularly the cellular and molecular links, are still largely unknown. In this review, we highlight the current progress in the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the lung microbiome interacts with immune homeostasis and pulmonary disease pathogenesis to advance our understanding of the elaborate function of the lung microbiota in lung disease. We hope that this work can attract more attention to this still-young yet very promising field to facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets and provide more innovative therapies. Additional accurate standard-based methodologies and technological breakthroughs are critical to propel the field forward to ultimately achieve the goal of maintaining respiratory health.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the top reason for cancer-related deaths worldwide. The 5-year overall survival rate of lung cancer is approximately 20 % due to the delayed diagnosis and low response rate to regular treatments. Microbiota, both host-microbiota and alien pathogenic microbiota, have been investigated to be involved in a complicated and contradictory relationship with lung cancer initiation, treatments, and prognosis. Disorders of certain host-microbiota and pathogen infection are associated with the risk of lung cancers based on epidemiological evidence, and antibiotics (ATBs) could dramatically impair anti-cancer treatment efficacy, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Moreover, probiotics and microbe-mediated drugs are potential approaches to enhance regular anti-tumor treatments. Therefore, the knowledge of the complex dual effect of microbes on lung cancer is beneficial to take their essence and remove their dross. This review offers insight into the current trends and advancements in microbiota or microbial components related to lung cancer.
