Summary: | Background and purpose
When it comes to the onset of moyamoya disease (MMD), environmental variables are crucial. Furthermore, there is confusion about the relationship between the gut microbiome, an environmental variable, and MMD. Consequently, to identify the particular bacteria that cause MMD, we examined the gut microbiome of MMD individuals and healthy controls (HC).
Methods
A prospective case-control investigation was performed from June 2021 to May 2022. The fecal samples of patients with MMD and HC were obtained. Typically, 16S rRNA sequencing was employed to examine their gut microbiota. The QIIME and R softwares were used to examine the data. The linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis was used to determine biomarkers. Multivariate analysis by linear models (MaAsLin)2 were used to find associations between microbiome data and clinical variables. Model performance was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve and the decision curve analysis.
Results
This investigation involved a total of 60 MMD patients and 60 HC. The MMD group’s Shannon and Chao 1 indices were substantially lower than those of the HC cohort. β-diversity was significantly different in the weighted UniFrac distances. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of
Fusobacteriota
/
Actinobacteria
was significantly higher/lower in the MMD group than that in the HC group. By MaAsLin2 analysis, the relative abundance of the 2 genera,
Lachnoclostridium
and
Fusobacterium
, increased in the MMD group, while the relative abundance of the 2 genera,
Bifidobacterium
and
Enterobacter
decreased in the MMD group. A predictive model was constructed by using these 4 genera. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.921. The decision curve analysis indicated that the model had usefulness in clinical practice.
Conclusions
The gut microbiota was altered in individuals with MMD, and was characterized by increased abundance of
Lachnoclostridium
and
Fusobacterium
and decreased abundance of
Bifidobacterium
and
Enterobacter
. These 4 genera could be used as biomarkers and predictors in clinical practice. |
