ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) display an altered oral, gastrointestinal, and intra-pancreatic microbiome compared to healthy individuals. However, knowledge regarding the bile microbiome and its potential impact on progression-free survival in PDACs remains limited.METHODS:
Patients with PDAC (n = 45), including 20 matched pairs before and after surgery, and benign controls (n = 16) were included prospectively. The characteristics of the microbiomes of the total 81 bile were revealed by 16 S-rRNA gene sequencing. PDAC patients were divided into distinct groups based on tumor marker levels, disease staging, before and after surgery, as well as progression free survival (PFS) for further analysis. Disease diagnostic model was formulated utilizing the random forest algorithm.RESULTS:
PDAC patients harbor a unique and diverse bile microbiome (PCoA, weighted Unifrac, p = 0.038), and the increasing microbial diversity is correlated with dysbiosis according to key microbes and microbial functions. Aliihoeflea emerged as the genus displaying the most significant alteration among two groups (p < 0.01). Significant differences were found in beta diversity of the bile microbiome between long-term PFS and short-term PFS groups (PCoA, weighted Unifrac, p = 0.005). Bacillota and Actinomycetota were identified as altered phylum between two groups associated with progression-free survival in all PDAC patients. Additionally, we identified three biomarkers as the most suitable set for the random forest model, which indicated a significantly elevated likelihood of disease occurrence in the PDAC group (p < 0.0001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve reached 80.8% with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 55.0 to 100%. Due to the scarcity of bile samples, we were unable to conduct further external verification.CONCLUSION:
PDAC is characterized by an altered microbiome of bile ducts. Biliary dysbiosis is linked with progression-free survival in all PDACs. This study revealed the alteration of the bile microbiome in PDACs and successfully developed a diagnostic model for PDAC.Palavras-chave
