ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The nasopharynx serves as a crucial niche for the microbiome of the upper respiratory tract. However, the association between the intratumoral microbiota and host systemic inflammation and immune status in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain uncertain.METHODS:
We performed 5R 16S rDNA sequencing on NPC tissue samples, followed by diversity analysis, LEfSe differential analysis, and KEGG functional prediction. The analyses were based on indices such as AISI, SIRI, PAR, PLR, and NAR. Correlation analyses between microbes and these indices were performed to identify microbes associated with inflammation and immune status. Additionally, regression analysis based on tumor TNM stage was performed to identify key microbes linked to tumor progression. The head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) transcriptome and the paired HNSC microbiome data from TCGA were utilized to validate the analyses.RESULTS:
The Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the most enriched phyla in NPC tissues. Microbes within these phyla demonstrated high sensitivity to changes in host systemic inflammation and immune status. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes showed significant differences between inflammation groups. Actinobacteria varied specifically with platelet-related inflammatory indices, and Bacteroidetes genera exhibited significant differences between NAR groups. Corynebacterium and Brevundimonas significantly impacted the T stage of tumors, with a high load of Corynebacterium within tumors associated with a better prognosisCONCLUSION:
Our analysis indicates that Proteobacteria play a crucial role in the inflammatory state of NPC, while Bacteroidetes are more sensitive to the tumor immune status.Palavras-chave
