Abstract

The lung is a complex ecosystem of host cells and microbes often disrupted in pathological conditions. Although bacteria have been hypothesized as agents of carcinogenesis, little is known about microbiota profile of the most prevalent cancer subtypes: adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To characterize lung cancer (LC) microbiota a first a screening was performed through a pooled sequencing approach of 16S ribosomal RNA gene (V3-V6) using a total of 103 bronchoalveaolar lavage fluid samples. Then, identified taxa were used to inspect 1009 cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas and to annotate tumor unmapped RNAseq reads. Microbial diversity was analyzed per cancer subtype, history of cigarette smoking and airflow obstruction, among other clinical data. We show that LC microbiota is enriched in Proteobacteria and more diverse in SCC than ADC, particularly in males and heavier smokers. High frequencies of Proteobacteria were found to discriminate a major cluster, further subdivided into well-defined communities' associated with either ADC or SCC. Here, a SCC subcluster differing from other cases by a worse survival was correlated with several Enterobacteriaceae VSports手机版. Overall, this study provides first evidence for a correlation between lung microbiota and cancer subtype and for its influence on patient life expectancy. .

Characterization of lung cancer (LC) microbiota. (a) Relative abundance at the phylum and genus levels for Portuguese cases and controls. This data corresponds to the DNA pooling of 16S rRNA amplicons (V3-V6) of 49 and 54 individual samples, respectively. (b) Relative abundance of genera identified among tumor sections of 1009 lung cancer cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). ADC: adenocarcinoma (N = 509). SCC: Squamous cell carcinoma (N = 500).

(b) Inverse Simpson index of LC subtypes grouped according to different clinical variables available at TCGA database (ancestry, gender, age at diagnosis, smoking history, lung region and lung parenchyma). Welch’s t-test was used to access statistical significance of pairwise comparisons (*P-value < 0.05; **P-value < 0.01, ***P-value < 0.001). ADC: adenocarcinoma. SCC: Squamous cell carcinoma.
