Compilation of longitudinal gut microbiome, serum metabolome, and clinical data in acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT

Induction chemotherapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a unique clinical scenario. These patients spend several weeks in the hospital, receiving multiple antibiotics, experiencing gastrointestinal mucosal damage, and suffering severe impairments in their immune system and nutrition. These factors cause major disruptions to the gut microbiota to a level rarely seen in other clinical conditions. Thus, the study of the gut microbiota in these patients can reveal novel aspects of microbiota-host relationships. When combined with the circulating metabolome, such studies could shed light on gut microbiota contribution to circulating metabolites. Collectively, gut microbiota and circulating metabolome are known to regulate host physiology. We have previously deposited amplicon sequences from 566 fecal samples from 68 AML patients. Here, we provide sample-level details and a link, using de-identified patient IDs, to additional data including serum metabolomics (260 samples from 36 patients) and clinical metadata. The detailed information provided enables comprehensive multi-omics analysis. We validate the technical quality of these data through 3 examples and demonstrate a method for integrated analysis.
