Abstract
Background: This prospective study aimed to comprehensively understand the changes in intestinal flora at different stages after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients and to analyze the effect of intestinal flora on acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), especially on gastrointestinal graft versus host disease (GI GVHD).
Methods: A total of 32 children with primary diseases of primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) and thalassemia were included. 16S sequencing was used to characterize the microbiota layout at three time points peri-transplant including pre-transplant, Day +3, and Day +30.
Results: By comparing the intestinal flora of children with GI GVHD and those without GI GVHD, it suggests that in children with GI GVHD, the distribution of intestinal flora after transplantation was more variable and more chaotic (chao1 index, Friedman test, p = .029). Besides, Veillonella and Ruminococcaceae were more abundant before transplantation, Bifidobacteriaceae and Bacillales were more abundant after transplantation. Comparing children with PID and thalassemia, it was found that the destruction of gut microbiota diversity was more significant in children with thalassemia after transplantation. The comparison of children with 0-I° aGVHD and II-III° aGVHD indicates that children with II-III° aGVHD had more Bilophila before transplantation than children with 0-I° aGVHD. Additionally, exploratory analyses to evaluate correlations between clinical characteristics (medications, immune cell recovery, etc.) and microbiome features were also performed.
Conclusions: This study has synthetically shown the distribution of intestinal flora after allo-HSCT, and some characteristic bacteria at different stages that may serve as potential biomarkers were screened out additionally, perhaps providing clues for the prevention and treatment of the disease.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
