In this study, we established co-abundance networks of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) among 2944 Chinese adults from the Shanghai Men's and Women's Health Studies and observed a positive connection-dominated scale-free network using Sparse Correlations for Compositional data (SparCC). The closeness centrality was negatively correlated with other degree-based topological metrics in the network, indicating the isolated modularization of the bacteria. A total of 130 guilds were constructed, with a high modularity of 0.68, and retaining more diversity of OTUs than genus classification. The scores of guild structure similarity for comparisons between all, the healthy and the unhealthy subjects were higher than those derived from randomized permutations, suggesting a robust guild structure. We further used the constructed 130 guilds as the aggregation units to identify gut microbiota that may be associated with type 2 diabetes, and found that the OTUs in 21 significant guilds relevant to diabetes belonged to 19 of 41 (46.3%) previously reported genera (derived from Disbiome database), while only 10 (24.4%) showed different abundances between diabetes patients and healthy subjects in genus-based analysis. Our study reveals modularization of gut microbiota as guilds in Chinese populations, and demonstrates advantages of guild-based analysis in identifying diabetes-related gut bacteria.

Rapid advancements in the research scale and technological upgrades necessitate evaluating new methods to ensure reliability and precision in microbial community profiling. We systematically evaluated the performance of eight recent and commonly used extraction methods using a microbial mock community (MMC) and fecal samples from two healthy volunteers, incorporating bacterial, archaeal, and fungal constituents. Performance metrics included nucleic acid assessment, microbial profile assessment, and scalability for large-scale studies, leveraging shotgun metagenomics for in-depth analysis. Despite variations in DNA quantity and quality, all methods yielded sufficient DNA for shotgun metagenomic sequencing. In the MMC microbial profile assessment, the QIAamp PowerFecal pro Kit (PF) and DNeasy PowerSoil HTP kit (PS) methods exhibited higher similarity with the theoretical composition and lower variability across technical replicates compared to other methods. For fecal samples, the extraction method accounted for 21.4% of the overall microbiome variation and significantly affected the abundances of 32% of detected microbial species. Methods using mechanical lysis with small beads, such as PF and PS, demonstrated better efficiency, indicated by increased microbial diversity in extracting DNA from Gram-positive bacteria. Furthermore, the PF and PS methods are notably simple to execute and automation-friendly, though relatively costly. Our study underscores the importance of maintaining consistency in DNA extraction methods for reliable comparative metagenomic analyses.

Studies on the association between nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) derived lipoprotein subfraction signature and mortality in CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis are limited. NMR based metabolomics was performed on the baseline plasma samples from 368 maintenance hemodialysis patients. Survival analyses were used to investigate the effect of lipoproteins on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Prediction models were further developed using stepwise regression combined cox proportional-hazards model. During the average follow-up of 45.1 months, we observed 144 all-cause deaths and 67 CVD deaths. After adjustment for 14 important covariates, we identified 18 and 35 lipoprotein parameters associated with all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, separately. Cholesterol in total low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and total high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) were correlated with neither all-cause death nor CVD death. For lipoprotein subfractions, triglyceride levels in large very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) were positively correlated only with all-cause mortality. Lipids (triglyceride, cholesterol and phospholipid) in medium VLDL, cholesterol/total lipids in intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and free cholesterol/total lipids in small high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were positively associated with both all-cause and CVD mortality. The addition of lipoprotein parameters to traditional risk factors significantly improved the mortality risk prediction: the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was improved from 0.811 to 0.842 (<i>p</i>-value = 0.020) for all-cause mortality and 0.806 to 0.854 (<i>p</i>-value = 0.005) for CVD mortality.

Profiling and mapping of meta-metabolome could yield insightful information at higher resolution and serve as functional readouts for precision nutrition and formation of personalized dietary strategies. For assessing the meta-metabolome, sample preparation is important, and it should aim for retrieval of gut microbial metabolites as intact as possible.

This investigation delves into the emerging field of pyroptosis and the intricacies of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), specifically the lesser-studied pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRlncRNAs), and their roles in OC prognosis. By harnessing transcriptome, and clinic data from the genotype-tissue expression (GTEx) and the cancer genome Atlas (TCGA), we formulated a unique PRlncRNAs risk model consisting of five prognostic lncRNAs by Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Next, the Kaplan-Meier analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, nomogram, and calibration were implemented to verify and evaluate the model. The model also showed general applicability in pan-cancer analysis. Remarkably, our model, upon rigorous validation, outperformed 16 pre-existing counterparts, offering a promising avenue for prognosis prediction. The risk score was used to classify patients into high and low-risk subgroups. The low-risk group showed improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The risk score was proved to be an independent prognosis factor. The low-risk group patients also exhibited a higher immune infiltration score and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score. Moreover, consensus clustering analysis was utilized to categorize OC patients into three distinct groups, predicated on the expression of the five prognostic lncRNAs. Patients within the third cluster exhibited noteworthy traits, encompassing elevated survival, heightened immune checkpoint expression, and the HRD score. Finally, the expressions of five PRlncRNAs were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in OC cell lines and tissues. In conclusion, the risk model based on the five PRlncRNAs might function as prognostic biomarkers to predict the immune and target drug treatment in OC.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43657-024-00173-x.</p>","PeriodicalId":74435,"journal":{"name":"Phenomics (Cham, Switzerland)","volume":"5 3","pages":"284-300"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12390916/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144981648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
