Abstract
We propose using Mendelian randomization analysis on GWAS data and MetaboAnalyst to model gut microbiota, metabolic pathways, blood metabolites, and cancer risk. We examined 473 gut microbiota, 205 pathways, 1400 metabolites, and 8 cancers. Results were validated through bidirectional two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR), heterogeneity tests, and pathway enrichment, leading to a mediation pathway model. We identified 129 gut microbiota, 57 pathways, and 463 metabolites linked to cancer, and 34 significant plasma pathways. 15 microbiota, 8 pathways, and 58 metabolites implicated in multiple cancers. Eight plasma metabolic pathways are involved in the development of multiple types of cancer. Through Multivariate Mendelian Randomization (MVMR) and mediation analysis, we found 9 mediation pathways, offering novel targets and research directions for cancer pathogenesis and treatment.
期刊介绍：
AMB Express is a high quality journal that brings together research in the area of Applied and Industrial Microbiology with a particular interest in ''White Biotechnology'' and ''Red Biotechnology''. The emphasis is on processes employing microorganisms, eukaryotic cell cultures or enzymes for the biosynthesis, transformation and degradation of compounds. This includes fine and bulk chemicals, polymeric compounds and enzymes or other proteins. Downstream processes are also considered. Integrated processes combining biochemical and chemical processes are also published.
