ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Accumulating evidence from microbial studies have highlighted the modulatory roles of intestinal microbes in numerous human diseases, however, the shared microbial signatures across different diseases remain relatively unclear.METHODS:
To consolidate existing knowledge across multiple studies, we performed meta-analyses of 17 disease types, covering 34 case-control datasets of 16S rRNA sequencing data, to identify shared alterations among different diseases. Furthermore, the impact of a microbial species, Lactobacillus salivarius, was established in a dextran sodium sulphate-induced colitis model and a collagen type II-induced arthritis mouse model.RESULTS:
Microbial alterations among autoimmune diseases were substantially more consistent compared with that of other diseases (cancer, metabolic disease and nervous system disease), with microbial signatures exhibiting notable discriminative power for disease prediction. Autoimmune diseases were characterized by the enrichment of Enterococcus, Veillonella, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus and the depletion of Ruminococcus, Gemmiger, Oscillibacter, Faecalibacterium, Lachnospiracea incertae sedis, Anaerostipes, Coprococcus, Alistipes, Roseburia, Bilophila, Barnesiella, Dorea, Ruminococcus2, Butyricicoccus, Phascolarctobacterium, Parabacteroides and Odoribacter, among others. Functional investigation of L. salivarius, whose genus was commonly enriched in numerous autoimmune diseases, demonstrated protective roles in two separate inflammatory mouse models.CONCLUSION:
Our study highlights a strong link between autoimmune diseases and the gut microbiota, with notably consistent microbial alterations compared with that of other diseases, indicating that therapeutic strategies that target the gut microbiome may be transferable across different autoimmune diseases. Functional validation of L. salivarius highlighted that bacterial genera associated with disease may not always be antagonistic, but may represent protective or adaptive responses to disease.Palabras clave
