  • PDAC Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
  • Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and ranks third in cancer mortality worldwide. The prognosis for most PDAC patients is extremely poor, with a five-year survival rate of only 9%. Surgical resection is still the main treatment for PDAC, however, the postoperative recurrence rate is high, and most patients eventually die of tumor metastasis. At present, there is no effective method for screening high-risk patients with pancreatic cancer. Traditional treatment options such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and combination therapy have little effect on pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is particularly important to find scientific and effective diagnosis and treatment options. .
  • pancreatic cancer Despite the generally high lethality of PDAC, different patients still exhibit clinical heterogeneity. Among patients whose tumors are surgically removed, some progress to advanced stages in just a few months, while some maintain a stable quality of life for years. Many genomics studies have demonstrated that the genetic mutations of pancreatic cancer at different stages of progression are homogeneous, mainly frequent mutations of KRAS, CDKN2A, TP53 and SMAD4 genes, and the reasons for the clinical heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer are still unknown. The phenotypic heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer is also reflected in mouse models, and even genetically engineered mouse models with identical genotypes show differences in the rate and extent of tumor progression. We speculate that certain factors in the tumor microenvironment, such as the tumor microbiome, may be responsible for this heterogeneity.
  • Basal type through transcriptome analysis a subtype of PDAC called Basal type through transcriptome analysis, which has a more aggressive clinical phenotype and a worse prognosis.
  • the molecular typing features of pancreatic cancer reveal the molecular basis of tumor clinical phenotype heterogeneity, which will help us to further explore the functional mechanism behind it.
  • pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma can be further classified into 'Classical', 'Hybrid' and 'Basal'.
  • Basal tumors exhibit extremely high DNA replication activity, epithelial-mesenchymal transition activity, and activation of cancer-related signaling pathways, all of which indicate active cancer progression and a highly aggressive phenotype in the Basal subtype .
  • Basal tumors exhibited significantly activated pathogen-recognition immune and inflammatory processes, suggesting that excessive immune activation and pathogen-induced inflammatory responses may play an important role in Basal subtype-specific cancer progression.
  • Basal-type tumors are associated with squamous malignant transformation of pancreatic duct epithelial cells, which may be induced by the accumulation of lesions in the tumor microenvironment, and this tumor subtype has a worse tumor progression rate. It is considered to be the development of classic pancreatic cancer, and its tumor progression is more stable than that of Basal type.
  • Hybrid type may be an intermediate state of the transition from Classical type to Basal type, and both Basal type and Classical type tumor cells exist in tumor tissue.
  • Acinetobacter is a common opportunistic pathogen. When the body's resistance is reduced, it is easy to cause infection, which can lead to respiratory tract infection, sepsis, meningitis, skin infection, etc.

Significant differences were found in the composition of microbes detected in the three PDAC tumor subtypes.

Description

用于Basal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)诊断的标志物组合及其应用Marker combination for the diagnosis of Basal type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its application 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及生物医药领域,具体地涉及用于Basal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)诊断的标志物组合及其应用。The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to a marker combination for the diagnosis of Basal-type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its application.
背景技术Background technique
胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)是胰腺癌中最常见的类型,在全世界的癌症死亡率中排列第三。大多数PDAC患者的预后极差,五年生存率仅为9%。手术切除仍是PDAC治疗的主要手段,然而术后复发率较高,大多数患者最终死于肿瘤转移。尽管PDAC有着普遍的高致死率,不同患者仍然表现出临床上的异质性。在手术切除肿瘤的患者中,一部分在短短数月内发展至晚期,而某些患者则能保持长达数年的稳定生存质量。近些年的研究通过转录组分析鉴定出一类称为Basal型的PDAC亚型,该肿瘤亚型有着更为侵略性的临床表型和更差的预后。科学家们试图去揭示不同PDAC亚型的遗传学机制,然而不同的肿瘤亚型间并没有发现显著的基因突变差异。导致PDAC亚型临床异质性的原因至今尚不清楚。Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and ranks third in cancer mortality worldwide. The prognosis for most PDAC patients is extremely poor, with a five-year survival rate of only 9%. Surgical resection is still the main treatment for PDAC, however, the postoperative recurrence rate is high, and most patients eventually die of tumor metastasis. Despite the generally high lethality of PDAC, different patients still exhibit clinical heterogeneity. Among patients whose tumors are surgically removed, some progress to advanced stages in just a few months, while some maintain a stable quality of life for years. Studies in recent years have identified a subtype of PDAC called Basal type through transcriptome analysis, which has a more aggressive clinical phenotype and a worse prognosis. Scientists have tried to uncover the genetic mechanism of different PDAC subtypes, but no significant gene mutation differences have been found between different tumor subtypes. The reasons for the clinical heterogeneity of PDAC subtypes are still unclear.
近二十年来,胰腺癌一直被认为是一种炎症诱导的癌症,患有胰腺炎的病人发展至胰腺癌的风险比正常情况高出13倍。有研究表明炎症间质反应对PDAC的进展有着重要影响,然而炎症是如何导致PDAC进展的详细分子机制尚未阐明。越来越多的证据表明人体微生物组在激活免疫应答以及诱导癌症相关的炎症反应过程中扮演重要角色。过去的研究主要关注肠道微生物的作用,并且发现肠道微生物对食管癌、胃癌、结肠癌都造成一定影响。Pancreatic cancer has been considered an inflammation-induced cancer for nearly two decades, and patients with pancreatitis have a 13-fold higher than normal risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Studies have shown that the inflammatory interstitial response has an important impact on the progression of PDAC, however, the detailed molecular mechanism of how inflammation leads to the progression of PDAC has not been elucidated. There is increasing evidence that the human microbiome plays an important role in activating immune responses and inducing cancer-related inflammatory responses. Past research has mainly focused on the role of gut microbes, and found that gut microbes have a certain impact on esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colon cancer.
目前为止,胰腺肿瘤微生物的组成结构还未完全阐明,微生物对肿瘤发展的作用也需要进一步的研究探索。So far, the composition and structure of pancreatic tumor microbes have not been fully elucidated, and the role of microbes in tumor development also needs further research and exploration.
因此,本领域迫切需要着眼于PDAC亚型异质性中的微生物因素,揭示了不同PDAC亚型中独特的肿瘤微生物组成结构特征,开发新的预测PDAC患者临床表型的肿瘤微生物。Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field to focus on the microbial factors in the heterogeneity of PDAC subtypes, reveal the unique structural characteristics of tumor microbes in different PDAC subtypes, and develop new tumor microbes that predict the clinical phenotype of PDAC patients.

术语the term
本发明所用术语具有相关领域普通技术人员通常理解的含义。然而,为了更好地理解本发明,对一些定义和相关术语的解释如下:Terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the relevant art. However, for a better understanding of the present invention, some definitions and related terms are explained as follows:
根据本发明,术语“标志物组合”是指一种生物标志物、或两种及两种以上生物标志物的组合。According to the present invention, the term "marker combination" refers to one biomarker, or a combination of two or more biomarkers.
根据本发明,标志物质的水平通过微生物的存在含量或丰度确定。根据本发明,术语“个体”指动物,特别是哺乳动物,如灵长类动物,最好是人。According to the present invention, the level of marker substances is determined by the presence or abundance of microorganisms. According to the present invention, the term "individual" refers to animals, especially mammals, such as primates, preferably humans.
根据本发明,术语如“一”、“一个”和“这”不仅指单数的个体,而是包括可以用来说明特定实施方式的通常的一类。In accordance with the present invention, terms such as "a," "an," and "the" do not refer only to the singular, but include the general class that may be used to describe particular embodiments.
如本文所用,在提到具体列举的数值中使用时,术语“约”意指该值可以从列举的值变动不多于1%。例如,如本文所用,表述“约100”包括99和101和之间的全部值(例如,99.1、99.2、99.3、99.4等)。As used herein, when used in reference to a specifically recited value, the term "about" means that the value may vary by no more than 1% from the recited value. For example, as used herein, the expression "about 100" includes all values between 99 and 101 and (eg, 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, etc.).
如本文所用,术语“含有”或“包括(包含)”可以是开放式、半封闭式和封闭式的。换言之,所述术语也包括“基本上由…构成”、或“由…构成”。As used herein, the terms "containing" or "including (including)" can be open, semi-closed, and closed. In other words, the term also includes "consisting essentially of," or "consisting of."
需要说明的是,在此提供术语的解释仅为了使本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明,并非对本发明限制。It should be noted that the explanations of terms provided here are only for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention.
根据本发明,参考集指训练集。According to the present invention, the reference set refers to the training set.
根据本发明,由现有技术可知,训练集和验证集具有相同的含义。在本发明的一个实施方式中,训练集指Basal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)患者和UnBasal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)对照生物样品中的标志物水平的集。在本发明的一个实施方式中,验证集是指用于测试训练集性能的数据集。在本发明的一个实施方式中,标志物的水平可以根据测定的方法代表为绝对值或相对值。例如,当用质谱来测定标志物的水平时,峰的强度可以代表标志物水平,这是一个相对值的 水平;当用PCR来测定标志物的水平时,基因的拷贝数或基因片段的拷贝数可以代表的标志物的水平。According to the present invention, as known from the prior art, the training set and the validation set have the same meaning. In one embodiment of the invention, the training set refers to the set of marker levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients of Basal type and control biological samples of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) UnBasal type. In one embodiment of the present invention, the validation set refers to a data set used to test the performance of the training set. In one embodiment of the present invention, the level of the marker can be represented as an absolute value or a relative value according to the method of determination. For example, when mass spectrometry is used to measure marker levels, the intensity of the peak can represent the marker level, which is a relative level; when PCR is used to measure marker levels, the number of copies of a gene or copies of gene fragments Numbers can represent the level of the marker.
在本发明的一个实施方式中,参照值是指UnBasal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)对照的参考值或正常值。本领域的技术人员清楚,在样品数量足够多情况下,每个每个生物标记的正常值(绝对值)的范围可以通过检验和计算方法得到。因此,当利用除质谱以外的其他方法来检测生物标志物的水平时,这些生物标志物水平的绝对值,可以直接与正常值比较,从而评价患有Basal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)的风险,以及诊断或早期诊断Basal型胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)。任选地,还可以使用统计方法。In one embodiment of the present invention, the reference value refers to the reference value or normal value of UnBasal-type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) controls. It is clear to those skilled in the art that the range of the normal value (absolute value) of each biomarker can be obtained by a test and calculation method when the number of samples is sufficiently large. Therefore, when biomarker levels are measured using methods other than mass spectrometry, the absolute value of these biomarker levels can be directly compared with normal values to assess the risk of Basal-type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). , and the diagnosis or early diagnosis of Basal-type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Optionally, statistical methods can also be used.
胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)是胰腺癌中最常见的类型,在全世界的癌症死亡率中排列第三。大多数PDAC患者的预后极差,五年生存率仅为9%。手术切除仍是PDAC治疗的主要手段,然而术后复发率较高,大多数患者最终死于肿瘤转移。目前还没有筛查胰腺癌高危患者的有效手段,传统的治疗方案比如手术切除、放疗,化疗以及联合疗法等,都对胰腺癌收效甚微,因此,寻找科学有效的诊断及治疗方案显得尤为重要。Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer and ranks third in cancer mortality worldwide. The prognosis for most PDAC patients is extremely poor, with a five-year survival rate of only 9%. Surgical resection is still the main treatment for PDAC, however, the postoperative recurrence rate is high, and most patients eventually die of tumor metastasis. At present, there is no effective method for screening high-risk patients with pancreatic cancer. Traditional treatment options such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and combination therapy have little effect on pancreatic cancer. Therefore, it is particularly important to find scientific and effective diagnosis and treatment options. .
尽管PDAC有着普遍的高致死率,不同患者仍然表现出临床上的异质性。在手术切除肿瘤的患者中,一部分在短短数月内发展至晚期,而某些患者则能保持长达数年的稳定生存质量。许多基因组学研究已经证明不同进展阶段的胰腺癌的遗传突变是同质的,主要为KRAS、CDKN2A、TP53和SMAD4基因的频发突变,导致胰腺癌临床异质性的原因目前依然未知。胰腺癌的表型异质性同样体现在小鼠模型中,即便是经基因工程改造的基因型完全一致的小鼠模型,在肿瘤进展的速度和程度上依然表现出表别。我们推测肿瘤微环境中的某些因素,比如肿瘤微生物组,可能是造成该异质性的原因。Despite the generally high lethality of PDAC, different patients still exhibit clinical heterogeneity. Among patients whose tumors are surgically removed, some progress to advanced stages in just a few months, while some maintain a stable quality of life for years. Many genomics studies have demonstrated that the genetic mutations of pancreatic cancer at different stages of progression are homogeneous, mainly frequent mutations of KRAS, CDKN2A, TP53 and SMAD4 genes, and the reasons for the clinical heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer are still unknown. The phenotypic heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer is also reflected in mouse models, and even genetically engineered mouse models with identical genotypes show differences in the rate and extent of tumor progression. We speculate that certain factors in the tumor microenvironment, such as the tumor microbiome, may be responsible for this heterogeneity.
近些年的研究通过转录组分析鉴定出一类称为Basal型的PDAC亚型,该肿瘤亚型有着更为侵略性的临床表型和更差的预后。胰腺癌的分子分型特征揭示了肿瘤临床表型异质性的分子基础,这将有助于我们进一步挖掘其背后的功能机制。Studies in recent years have identified a subtype of PDAC called Basal type through transcriptome analysis, which has a more aggressive clinical phenotype and a worse prognosis. The molecular typing features of pancreatic cancer reveal the molecular basis of tumor clinical phenotype heterogeneity, which will help us to further explore the functional mechanism behind it.
胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)分型Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) classification
在本发明中,胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)可进一步分型为’Classical’、’Hybrid’ 和’Basal’。In the present invention, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be further classified into 'Classical', 'Hybrid' and 'Basal'.
通过基因功能富集分析发现Basal肿瘤表现出极高的DNA复制活性、上皮间质转化活性以及癌症相关信号通路的激活,这些都表明了Basal亚型中活跃的癌症进展和高度侵略性的表型。同时我们还发现Basal肿瘤呈现显著激活的病原体识别的免疫反应和炎症反应过程,这些结果表明过度的免疫激活和病原体诱导的炎症反应可能对Basal亚型特异性的癌症进展发挥重要的作用。Gene functional enrichment analysis revealed that Basal tumors exhibit extremely high DNA replication activity, epithelial-mesenchymal transition activity, and activation of cancer-related signaling pathways, all of which indicate active cancer progression and a highly aggressive phenotype in the Basal subtype . We also found that Basal tumors exhibited significantly activated pathogen-recognition immune and inflammatory processes, suggesting that excessive immune activation and pathogen-induced inflammatory responses may play an important role in Basal subtype-specific cancer progression.
已有的研究认为,Basal型肿瘤与胰管上皮细胞的鳞状恶变有关,可能由肿瘤微环境中的病变积累所诱导,该肿瘤亚型有着更恶劣的肿瘤进展速度;相对的,Classical型被认为是经典的胰腺癌发展,相较于Basal型其肿瘤进展更稳定;而Hybrid型或许是Classical型向Basal型转变的中间状态,肿瘤组织中同时存在Basal型和Classical型的肿瘤细胞。Existing studies suggest that Basal-type tumors are associated with squamous malignant transformation of pancreatic duct epithelial cells, which may be induced by the accumulation of lesions in the tumor microenvironment, and this tumor subtype has a worse tumor progression rate. It is considered to be the development of classic pancreatic cancer, and its tumor progression is more stable than that of Basal type. Hybrid type may be an intermediate state of the transition from Classical type to Basal type, and both Basal type and Classical type tumor cells exist in tumor tissue.
不动杆菌属(Acinetobacter)Acinetobacter
不动杆菌是常见的条件致病菌,当机体抵抗力降低时容易引起感染,可导致呼吸道感染、败血症、脑膜炎、皮肤感染等。该细菌广泛分布于环境中,也存在于普通人的皮肤、咽部、胃肠道等部位,在机体免疫力低下时易导致感染。Acinetobacter is a common opportunistic pathogen. When the body's resistance is reduced, it is easy to cause infection, which can lead to respiratory tract infection, sepsis, meningitis, skin infection, etc. The bacterium is widely distributed in the environment, and also exists in the skin, pharynx, gastrointestinal tract and other parts of ordinary people, and it is easy to cause infection when the body's immunity is low.
假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)Pseudomonas
假单胞菌广泛分布于水、空气和食物中,可引起人类感染疾病,在医院感染中较为常见。值得注意的是,该细菌也被证实存在于人类胰腺器官中,但其对胰腺癌发展的作用并未明确。Pseudomonas is widely distributed in water, air and food, and can cause infectious diseases in humans. It is more common in nosocomial infections. Notably, the bacterium has also been shown to be present in human pancreatic organs, but its role in pancreatic cancer development is not well defined.
鞘氨醇菌属(Sphingopyxis)Sphingopyxis
鞘氨醇菌是革兰氏阴性细菌,在人的粪便样本中检测到了其存在,然而丰度并不突出,目前并未发现该细菌表现出明确致病性。有研究发现该细菌外膜中的抗原物质-糖基神经酰胺,能够有效刺激机体免疫激活,表明该细菌外膜有着典型的病原体相关分子模式。Sphingosineum is a Gram-negative bacterium, and its presence has been detected in human fecal samples, but the abundance is not prominent, and the bacterium has not been found to show clear pathogenicity. Some studies have found that the antigenic substance-glycosylceramide in the bacterial outer membrane can effectively stimulate the immune activation of the body, indicating that the bacterial outer membrane has a typical pathogen-related molecular pattern.
本发明深入挖掘胰腺癌肿瘤中的微生物组成特征。发现3种PDAC肿瘤亚型中检出微生物的组成结构存在显著差别。利用三项指标来评估物种多样性,包括Shannon指数、Bray-Curtis相异度以及物种丰富度,进而比较不同PDAC亚型之间的微生物特征差别。结果显示Basal亚型中的微生物表现更高的物种丰富度 和较低的Shannon指数,此外Basal亚型样本间的Bray-Curtis相异度显著升高。本发明的结果表明,相较于其他PDAC亚型,Basal亚型有着一个相对独特的微生物组成结构,这可能与Basal亚型中特殊的癌症进展有关。The present invention deeply excavates the microbial composition characteristics in pancreatic cancer tumors. Significant differences were found in the composition of microbes detected in the three PDAC tumor subtypes. Three indicators were used to assess species diversity, including Shannon index, Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, and species richness, to compare the differences in microbial characteristics between different PDAC subtypes. The results showed that microorganisms in the Basal subtype exhibited higher species richness and lower Shannon index, and the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between the Basal subtype samples was significantly increased. The results of the present invention indicate that the Basal subtype has a relatively unique microbial composition compared to other PDAC subtypes, which may be related to the specific cancer progression in the Basal subtype.
进一步的,本研究发现了一群在Basal肿瘤中丰度显著升高的微生物,其中不动杆菌属Acinetobacter、假单胞菌属Pseudomonas和鞘氨醇菌属Sphingopyxis这三类细菌最为明显。这三类细菌的丰度指标对PDAC的预后有着潜在的预测价值。此外,通过微生物基因功能分析,Basal亚型中的微生物表现出更高的代谢活性、细胞运动能力、复制效率、抗生素耐药性以及细胞膜合成活性,这些功能反映了微生物更高的病原性和炎症诱导潜力。这些结果揭示了Basal亚型中微生物对癌症发展的作用,靶向这些微生物或阻断微生物促炎过程的治疗策略将会有效的干预PDAC的进展。Further, this study found a group of microorganisms with significantly increased abundance in Basal tumors, among which the three types of bacteria, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Sphingopyxis, were the most obvious. The abundance indicators of these three types of bacteria have potential predictive value for the prognosis of PDAC. In addition, by microbial gene function analysis, microorganisms in the Basal subtype exhibited higher metabolic activity, cell motility, replication efficiency, antibiotic resistance, and cell membrane synthesis activity, which reflected higher pathogenicity and inflammation of the microorganisms induction potential. These results reveal the role of microbes in the Basal subtype on cancer development, and therapeutic strategies that target these microbes or block microbial pro-inflammatory processes will effectively interfere with PDAC progression.
随后,进一步研究肿瘤微生物与宿主细胞功能的相互作用,通过肿瘤细胞基因表达和微生物丰度的关联分析,发现某些细菌丰度,包括前面提到的不动杆菌属Acinetobacter、假单胞菌属Pseudomonas和鞘氨醇菌属Sphingopyxis,与宿主的抗原识别、脂多糖应答反应、补体系统激活等功能呈显著正相关,这些结果反映了宿主对外源病原体的应答激活。此外,本发明的结果还显示一些癌症相关的功能,比如Kras信号通路、上皮间质转化过程、MAPK信号通路等,也跟上述的细菌丰度显著相关。这些数据从基因功能水平上揭示了肿瘤微生物对宿主细胞功能造成的影响,同时也证明了某些细菌在肿瘤发生中的重要作用。Subsequently, the interaction between tumor microorganisms and host cell functions was further studied. Through the correlation analysis of tumor cell gene expression and microbial abundance, it was found that certain bacterial abundances, including the aforementioned Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas Pseudomonas and Sphingopyxis were significantly positively correlated with the host's antigen recognition, lipopolysaccharide response, complement system activation and other functions. These results reflect the host's response to exogenous pathogens. In addition, the results of the present invention also show that some cancer-related functions, such as Kras signaling pathway, epithelial-mesenchymal transition process, MAPK signaling pathway, etc., are also significantly related to the above-mentioned bacterial abundance. These data reveal the impact of tumor microbes on host cell function at the level of gene function, and also demonstrate the important role of certain bacteria in tumorigenesis.
为何不同PDAC亚型中的微生物组成存在差异,什么因素导致了人群中多样性的肿瘤微生物结构呢。本研究试图去探究宿主的遗传因素是否在其中发挥一定作用。基于患者的基因型信息,本发明评估患者个体之间的遗传相似度。本发明的结果表明,个体之间的遗传变异情况越相近,他们的肿瘤微生物组成越相似,这支持了我们的猜想——宿主遗传因素对微生物群落的塑造有着关键作用。本发明深入探究宿主遗传与微生物间的关联,通过QTL分析鉴定出了多个与微生物丰度显著相关的遗传位点,这些位点的突变可能引起宿主免疫相关的功能缺失,包括IFN-γ信号激活、外源抗原的递呈等。这些发现表明了宿主基因突变与微生物间的关联,同时提出了一项可能的理论假设——宿主的某些免疫功能缺失可能导致微生物结构失衡,从而提高特定病原菌在胰腺中的定殖风险以及炎症诱导,最终导致严重的胰腺癌进展。Why does the microbial composition differ among different PDAC subtypes, and what factors contribute to the diversity of tumor microbial structures in the population. This study attempts to explore whether the genetic factors of the host play a role. Based on the patient's genotype information, the present invention assesses the genetic similarity between individual patients. The results of the present invention show that the closer the genetic variation among individuals, the more similar their tumor microbial composition, which supports our hypothesis that host genetic factors play a key role in shaping the microbial community. The present invention deeply explores the relationship between host genetics and microorganisms, and through QTL analysis, multiple genetic loci that are significantly related to microbial abundance are identified, and mutations at these loci may cause loss of functions related to host immunity, including IFN-γ signaling activation, presentation of foreign antigens, etc. These findings suggest a link between host genetic mutations and the microbe, and suggest a possible hypothesis that some loss of immune function in the host could lead to an imbalance in microbial architecture that increases the risk of colonization of the pancreas by specific pathogens and inflammation induced, eventually leading to severe pancreatic cancer progression.

Then, based on the microbial reference genome database in the NCBI database, the sequence alignment was performed, and each sequenced read was assigned to a known species classification using Kraken2 software, and the Bayesian probability estimation provided by Bracken software was used to evaluate the alignment to each species. The theoretical sequence number on the taxonomy, based on which the abundance results of each microorganism are calculated. Based on the abundance map of the tumor microbiome, further statistical optimization analysis was performed to calculate microbial community diversity indicators and to evaluate the differences in microbial composition among different tumor subtypes.
实施例1筛选与Basal型胰腺导管腺癌相关的菌群标志物Example 1 Screening of bacterial markers associated with Basal-type pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
本发明收集的62例胰腺导管腺癌PDAC肿瘤样本包含17例Basal型PDAC、23例Hybrid型PDAC以及22例Classical型PDAC。使用Kruskal-Wallis检验来筛选不同PDAC分子亚型间存在显著差异丰度的微生物属,我们发现三类细菌属,不动杆菌属Acinetobacter、假单胞菌属Pseudomonas和鞘氨醇菌属Sphingopyxis,它们的丰度在Basal型PDAC肿瘤中显著富集,如图1-图3所示。Boxplot展示了不动杆菌属Acinetobacter、假单胞菌属Pseudomonas和鞘氨醇菌属Sphingopyxis在PDAC不同肿瘤亚型中的分布情况,y轴代表经过标准化后的丰度值,Kurskal-Wallis检验结果显示p值及其显著,表示该菌丰度在组 间存在显著差异,该图显示在Basal亚型中该菌丰度显著升高。The 62 cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PDAC tumor samples collected by the present invention include 17 cases of Basal type PDAC, 23 cases of Hybrid type PDAC and 22 cases of Classical type PDAC. Using the Kruskal-Wallis test to screen microbial genera with significantly different abundances between different PDAC molecular subtypes, we found that three bacterial genera, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Sphingopyxis, were The abundance of PDAC was significantly enriched in Basal-type PDAC tumors, as shown in Figures 1-3. Boxplot shows the distribution of Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Sphingopyxis in different tumor subtypes of PDAC. The y-axis represents the normalized abundance value, and the Kurskal-Wallis test results show that The p value and its significance indicate that there is a significant difference in the abundance of the bacteria among the groups, and the figure shows that the abundance of the bacteria is significantly increased in the Basal subtype.
随后我们使用以上三类菌属的丰度来对所有肿瘤样本进行层次聚类分析,结果显示这三类菌属能够很好的将Basal型PDAC样本区分开(图4)。聚类热图展示了这三类菌属在PDAC不同亚型间的分布情况,列代表每个样本(列注释信息为分组信息),行表示每个菌属,丰度按行进行归一化,数值统一转换为-2~2的区间,颜色偏红表示丰度值越高。该图表示这三个菌属大多富集在Basal亚型中。We then used the abundance of the above three genera to perform hierarchical clustering analysis on all tumor samples, and the results showed that these three genera could well distinguish Basal-type PDAC samples (Figure 4). The clustering heat map shows the distribution of these three genera among different subtypes of PDAC, the column represents each sample (column annotation information is grouping information), the row represents each genus, and the abundance is normalized by row , the value is uniformly converted to the interval of -2 to 2, and the reddish color indicates the higher the abundance value. The figure shows that these three genera are mostly enriched in the Basal subtype.
进一步的,本发明使用LDA(linear discriminant analysis)线性判别分析筛选Basal型PDAC的菌群标志物,,默认大于2的logarithmic LDA score被认为存在显著差异,分析结果表示这三类菌属在Basal亚型中显著性富集(图5).Further, the present invention uses LDA (linear discriminant analysis) linear discriminant analysis to screen the flora markers of Basal type PDAC, and the default logarithmic LDA score greater than 2 is considered to be significantly different, and the analysis results indicate that these three types of bacteria are in the Basal subgroup. were significantly enriched in the type (Figure 5).
我们根据以上三类菌属的丰度水平将患者进行分组,随后开展生存分析来比较患者的生存情况。如图6所示,结果表明这三类菌属的高丰度预示着PDAC患者更短的生存期,提示它们能够作为PDAC预后的预测指标。We grouped the patients according to the abundance levels of the above three genera, and then performed a survival analysis to compare the survival of the patients. As shown in Figure 6, the results indicated that the high abundance of these three genera predicted shorter survival in PDAC patients, suggesting that they could be used as predictors of PDAC prognosis.
Kaplan-Meier生存曲线显示三类菌属的高丰度能够对患者的低生存期有显著的预测效果。我们使用Cox比例风险回归模型计算三个菌属的危险率HR值,结果表明三类菌属的HR值均大于1,提示它们都是胰腺癌发展中的危险因素。The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the high abundance of the three genera could have a significant predictive effect on the poor survival of patients. We used the Cox proportional hazards regression model to calculate the hazard rate HR values of the three genera, and the results showed that the HR values of the three genera were all greater than 1, suggesting that they are all risk factors for the development of pancreatic cancer.
