ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a complex obstetric complication with various causes and of great harm. However, the specific pathogenesis of FGR is unclear, which limits its effective treatment. Gut microbiota dysbiosis was found to be important in pathogenesis of various diseases. However, its role in FGR development remains unclear and needs to be clarified.METHODS:
In our case-control study, we recruited eight FGR and eight control female participants and collected their fecal samples in third trimester before delivery. We performed metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatic analysis to compare the gut microbiota composition and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways between the two groups.RESULTS:
Our results showed that totally 20 gut microbes were significantly different between two groups (p<0â¢05), and the correlation analysis found that g__Roseomonas and g__unclassified_f__Propionibacteriaceae were significantly positive correlated with both maternal body mass index (BMI) before delivery, placental weight, and neonatal birth weight (BW) percentile (all p<0â¢05), while g__Marinisporobacter and g__Sphingomonas were significantly negative correlated with both neonatal BMI and neonatal BW percentile (all p<0â¢05). Through KEGG pathway analysis, we found that the abundance of the Nitrogen metabolism pathway decreased significantly (p<0â¢05) whereas the abundance of the Amoebiasis pathway increased significantly in the FGR group (p<0â¢05).CONCLUSION:
In this study, we demonstrated that the occurrence of FGR is associated with the change of gut microbiota of pregnant women.Palabras clave
