Abstract
Objective: To describe gut microbiota composition and diversity at colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue, metastatic liver and lymph nodes tissue in CRC patients. Subject and method: 21 patients with CRC at stage IV treated at 108 Military Central Hospital from March 2015 to August 2018 were recruited into the current cross-sectional study. Clinical information and tissue samples (include 21 CRC tissue samples, 21 metastatic liver tissue samples and 11 metastatic lymph nodes tissue samples) were collected from the CRC patients. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene targeted V3-V4 region was used to access gut microbiota composition and diversity of the studied samples. Result: The phyla accounting for the highest proportion in the three types of tissue samples included Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Deinococcota, and Fusobacteriota. The alpha diversity in the CRC tissue samples was higher than in the metastatic liver tissue samples (p<0.05). There was significant difference in beta diversity between the CRC tissue and the metastatic liver, and between the CRC tissue and the metastatic lymph nodes (p<0.05). Conclusion: Preliminary analysis determined the characteristics of gut microbiota at CRC tissue, metastatic liver and lymph nodes tissue using 16S rRNA metagenomics.
