Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a devastating psychiatric disease associated with hallucinations, delusions, and thought disorders that affect perception and social interaction. The etiology of schizophrenia has not been elucidated, but a variety of factors, such as genetics and environment, may be involved. Abnormalities in the neurotransmitter system have been extensively studied, particularly with regard to abnormalities in dopamine, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid signals. There is increasing evidence that schizophrenia may be a systemic disease of neuropsychiatric diseases other than psychosis. In addition, the importance of inflammation and the involvement of the gastrointestinal system in schizophrenia has also received attention.
Intestinal microbiota is reported to play an important role in the neurogenesis process, and perturbations in microbiota and microbial products have been shown to affect behavior. A great deal of research shows that intestinal microorganisms can regulate brain functions and behaviors through flora-intestine-brain axis, and have been reported to influence the emotion, memory, cognition and spontaneous activities of a host, and can also regulate neurotransmitters such as 5HT, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), Norepinephrine (NE), DA, acetylcholine (Ach) and the like, thereby participating in the occurrence and development of mental diseases and becoming a potential intervention target point for mental disorders.
Recent clinical and preclinical studies show that potential relation exists between disorder of intestinal flora and occurrence of SCZ, intestinal microbiota plays an important role in schizophrenia metabolism, and researches show that the number of bacteroides of patients with schizophrenia is increased, the number of bifidobacteria is reduced, flora proportion imbalance exists, the number of bacteroides of conditional pathogens is obviously increased, the number of probiotic bifidobacteria is obviously reduced, and imbalance states exist between the bacteroides and the bifidobacteria, so that the researches on characteristics of the intestinal microbiota of the patients with schizophrenia have important significance for detecting and treating the schizophrenia.

The confidence interval refers to an estimation interval of the overall parameter constructed by the sample statistic. In statistics, the confidence interval for a probability sample is an interval estimate for some overall parameter of the sample. The confidence interval exhibits the extent to which the true value of this parameter has a certain probability of falling around the measurement. The confidence interval indicates the degree of plausibility of the measured value of the measured parameter, i.e. the "certain probability" required above, which is referred to as the confidence level.

The embodiments will be described in detail below. The reagents, sequences, software and equipment not specifically submitted to the following examples are all conventional commercial products.
Example 1 identification of biomarkers
In this example, the inventors have studied stool samples of 64 schizophrenic patients and 58 healthy controls to obtain the characteristics of the microbial community and functional composition of the intestinal flora. In summary, the inventors downloaded high quality sequencing data of about 334 Gb. Metagenomic analysis showed that 27 microbial species were closely related to schizophrenia disease, of which 6 were enriched in intestinal microbes of healthy people and 21 were enriched in intestinal microbes of schizophrenic patients.
1. Obtaining sequencing data:
samples of schizophrenia and healthy persons were obtained from the first subsidiary hospital of Chongqing medical university and a total of 64 samples of Chinese schizophrenia and 58 samples of healthy persons were collected in the experiment, wherein each individual fresh stool sample was divided into 200 mg/portion and 5 portions, and immediately stored in a refrigerator at-80 ℃.
Total DNA was extracted from all stool samples. DNA is extracted by a method of extracting DNA by phenol trichloromethane treatment.
2. Library construction and sequencing, and reference data download
DNA pooling was performed according to the instructions of the instrument manufacturer (Illumina). The library was sequenced at PE150 bp. The Illumina HiSeq2000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA) platform sequenced a library of 122 samples. Each sample yielded on average 11.21Gb (sd. + -2.1 Gb) high quality sequencing results, totaling 1368Gb sequencing data volume.
The relevant biomarkers of schizophrenia are identified with reference to the experimental procedure shown in fig. 1, wherein the omitted steps or details are well known to those skilled in the art and several important steps are described below.
3. Microbial species abundance analysis
3.1 sequence optimization statistics
1) Firstly, performing first-stage sequencing, collecting data of 122 samples in the current-stage sequencing, filtering the data after obtaining the sequencing data of the 122 samples in the first stage, and performing quality control according to the following standards: a) removing reads greater than 5N bases; b) (ii) removing reads greater than 50% of the low quality base (Q20); c) the tail low mass (Q20) and N bases were removed. Missing pairs of reads sequences are considered a single read for assembly.
2) And (3) processing the downloaded data of the healthy people by adopting the method 1).
2.2 species abundance analysis
SOAPalign 2.21 was used to match paired-end clean reads against redundant genomes, here called redundant genomes from reference genomes of bacteria disclosed in each database, with alignment parameters-r 2-m 200-x 1000. The comparison between Reads and redundant genomes can be divided into two parts: a) unique reads (U): reads align the genomes of only the previous species; these reads are defined as unique reads. That is, if the genomes are from the same species, the inventors define these reads as unique reads. b) Multiple reads (M): multiplex reads are defined if they align the genomes of two or more species. That is, if the aligned genomes are from different species, the inventors define these reads as multiple reads.
For species S, the abundance is ab (S), related to the characteristic U reads and shared M reads, and is calculated as follows:
Ab(S)=Ab(U S )+Ab(M S ),
wherein S represents the number of the marker microorganism,
ab (S) represents the abundance of the marker microorganism S,
Ab(U S )=U S /l S
U S the number of reads in the sequencing data that are uniquely aligned with the reference genome of the marker microorganism S,
l S is the total length of the reference genome of the marker microorganism S,
Figure RE-GDA0003708098510000121
M S is the number of reads in the sequencing data that are non-uniquely aligned to the reference genome of the marker microorganism S,
Co i the corresponding abundance coefficient for the ith read,
Figure RE-GDA0003708098510000122
i represents the number of the non-unique alignment reads,
Co i,s means that with respect to the marker microorganism S,
abundance coefficients of the non-uniquely aligned reads i,
n is the total number of microorganisms that the non-uniquely aligned reads i are capable of aligning,
j represents the number of microorganisms that the non-uniquely aligned reads i are capable of aligning.
And (4) obtaining a normalized species abundance table after all dividing the species abundance value obtained by calculation in each sample by the total abundance of each sample.
3.3 screening microbial species markers
In order to obtain intestinal microbial species markers closely related to schizophrenia diseases, the inventors conducted a disease-related study at the species level using the abundance data of intestinal microbial species in the two groups of schizophrenic patients (SCZ) group (64 cases) and healthy people (HC) group (58 cases). Based on the abundance of species table obtained in step 3.2, the inventors set criteria as follows: (1) the median abundance of species in schizophrenic patient groups or healthy human groups must be greater than 0; (2) the differential p-value for each species and schizophrenia disease was obtained by Wilcoxon rank sum test combined with multiple tests of Benjamini Hochberg; (3) screening was performed using the above parameters using a strict threshold p _ values < 0.01. The inventors obtained 27 intestinal microbial species closely related to schizophrenia diseases, wherein 21 species of the microbes are enriched in intestinal tracts of patients with schizophrenia, and 6 species of the microbes are enriched in healthy people, and the 27 microbial species markers are shown in table 1.
Table 1:
Figure RE-GDA0003708098510000123
Figure RE-GDA0003708098510000131
example 2 validation of microbial species markers
To verify the findings in example 1, the inventors further analyzed the abundance of the 27 genera in the stool samples of 23 healthy persons and 26 schizophrenic patients in the validation population, and selected the 27 microbial species markers based on the enrichment of each species in the healthy and disease groups, and the DNA extraction, sequencing and species abundance analyses of the validation population were performed with reference to example 1.
The verification results are as follows: the above 6 species enriched in healthy population, 4 in the validation set resulted in high quality validation (P values <0.01), and the mean and P value results of the validation of the microorganism species markers enriched in healthy population are shown in table 2.
Table 2:
Figure RE-GDA0003708098510000132
for the 21 species enriched in schizophrenic patients described above, 8 of which were high quality validated in the validation set (p-value <0.01), the p-value and q-value cases validated for 2 microbial markers enriched in schizophrenic patients in the validation set data are shown in table 3.
Inhibition of the production of norepinephrine and epinephrine by certain bacillus metabolites may have a significant effect on the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal secretion neurotransmitters and this change appears to be a major factor in schizophrenia. Cryptococcus pyogenes (Trueperella pyogenes) is an important opportunistic pathogen.
Table 3:
Figure RE-GDA0003708098510000141
the inventor believes that 4 microbial species markers enriched from healthy people can be used as a reverse index of schizophrenia disease development, or as a microbial preparation medicinal flora component for treating schizophrenia, or as a recovery index for detecting schizophrenia and monitoring the treatment progress of schizophrenia; the 8 microorganism species markers enriched in the schizophrenia patients are used as positive indicators of the schizophrenia disease, and are particularly used for non-invasive detection and diagnosis of the schizophrenia disease.
The inventor utilizes the 12 microbial species markers to construct a comprehensive index, estimates the area AUC under the ROC (Receiver-operating characteristic) curve, and evaluates the comprehensive score corresponding to the diagnosis capability of schizophrenia, wherein the higher the AUC is, the higher the diagnosis capability is. By evaluating 122 samples in the first stage (the first stage) and 49 samples in the second stage (the second stage), as shown in fig. 2, the samples showed good diagnostic ability, and the AUC obtained in the first stage was 91.1%, as shown in fig. 2-a, and the confidence interval was 86.2% -96%; AUC obtained in stage ii was 88.6%, as shown in fig. 2-B, with a confidence interval of 74.9% to 97.8%.
Example 3 detection of Individual State
In this example, the inventors performed the examination of the individual status of the sample source using 60 stool samples.
The abundances of actinomycetes (Actinomyces sp.) orataxon 180, Exophiala (Akkermansia muciniphila) CAG:154, Alloscardovia omnigenes, Bacillus (Bacillus vallisportis), Cryptobacterium currum, Exophiala sedentarius, and Cryptobacterium pyogenes (Trueperella pyogenes) shown in Table 3 in each fecal sample were determined by referring to the method of example 2, whether the abundances of these 7 strains in each sample fall within the confidence interval of 95% of the abundance of each of the disease control group or the healthy control group was determined, the status of the individual corresponding to the sample in which the abundance of these 7 strains all fall within the corresponding interval of the disease group was determined as a schizophrenia patient, and the status of the individual corresponding to the sample in which the abundance of 7 strains all fall within the corresponding interval of the healthy group was determined as a non-schizophrenia patient.
The result shows that the method of the embodiment can be used for judging the individual state of 56 samples, and the judgment of the individual state corresponding to 50 samples in the 56 samples is consistent with the recorded state of the individual from which the sample is derived.
In addition, the inventors have found that the combined detection of the species in table 2 and table 3, for example, the detection of the enrichment of the species markers in table 3, while the detection of the non-enriched species markers in table 2, can more accurately determine and find the patients with schizophrenia or the susceptible people.
In the scheme of treating schizophrenia by using the markers, the inventors found that the growth of the species markers in the formula 3 is inhibited or eliminated, and the species markers in the formula 2 are enriched, so that the treatment effect is excellent.
