Taxonomic diversity of sputum microbiome in lung cancer patients and its relationship with chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes

Abstract: Here we report a pilot-sized study to compare the taxonomic composition of sputum microbiome in 17 newly-diagnosed lung cancer (LC) patients and 17 controls. Another object was to compare the representation of individual bacterial genera and species in sputum with the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the blood lymphocytes of LC patients and in controls. Both groups were male; average age 56.1 ± 11.5 in patients and 55.7 ± 4.1 in controls. Differences in the species composition of bacterial communities i… Show more

“…Furthermore, a study showed that Haemophilus was more abundant in patients with lung cancer than in healthy individuals. [33] Our result showed that Haemophilus was abundant in the non-responder group; therefore, it can be inferred that members of this genus lower the effectiveness of anticancer drugs. Thus, Haemophilus may be considered as a target for disease-modulating drugs in lung cancer treatment.…”

“…Growing pieces of evidence suggested that the development of cancer is affected by human commensal microbiota through inflammation, immunity, metabolism pathways [29]. Recently, various studies identified the alteration of airway microbiota among NSCLC patients [5,7,9,11,[30][31][32][33][34]. The interplay between microbiota and lung cancer is complex.…”

“…There was a significant difference in the beta diversity of the sputum microbial composition, with genuses like Atopobium and Treponema decreasing significantly and Bergeyella increasing significantly in cancer patients. Reduction in species from genus Atopobium and increase in Alloprevotella species correlated with higher levels of chromosomal aberrations in sputum donors (175). On the other hand, oral administration of Lactobacillus johnsonii was able to alleviate lymphocytic as well as systemic genotoxicity in Atm −/− mice models of Ataxiatelangiectasia, thereby decreasing the development of lymphoma (176).…”

“…Microbial genotoxicity might play a role in anti-tumor immunity as well. Analysis of sputum samples from patients with lung cancer and healthy individuals showed an increased prevalence of leucocytes with chromosomal aberrations in patients with cancer (175). There was a significant difference in the beta diversity of the sputum microbial composition, with genuses like Atopobium and Treponema decreasing significantly and Bergeyella increasing significantly in cancer patients.…”
