What Does Multi-omics Data Mining Reveal?
Transcriptomic and Proteomic Profiles Unveil Metabolic Reprogramming in Endometrial Cancer
The study identified metabolic reprogramming in endometrial cancer (EC) through principal component analysis, revealing distinct metabolic profiles between normal and tumor tissues. Gene set enrichment analysis highlighted consistent activation of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and folate biosynthesis pathways across multiple datasets.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals Architectures and Subtypes of Bladder Cancer
The authors analyzed 26 significantly mutated genes(SMGs) and 34 somatic copy number alterations(SCNAs) from bladder cancer databases to infer the genomic architecture, finding that SMGs had higher median cancer cell fractions than SCNAs. Bayesian non‐negative matrix factorization analysis identified two molecular subgroups (Cluster A and B) with distinct clinical outcomes, with Cluster A showing poorer survival. Multivariate analysis confirmed the genomic architecture as an independent predictor of patient outcomes. Cluster A had a higher SCNA burden and frequent whole-genome doubling, while Cluster B was enriched with Asian patients.Additionally, transcriptomic data via ssGSEA were used to compare the relative expression levels of immune-related genes between the two clusters. In Dataset 1, Cluster B patients showed significantly higher infiltration levels of Th17 cells and CD8+ T cells.

Heatmap analysis revealed associations between colonic microbiota and serum metabolites in genetically prone (3xTg) mice and normal diet(ND) controls. Bifidobacterium and S24.7 were negatively correlated with lactate, malate, and amino acids, while positively correlated with low cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, and fatty acids.

Title:Untangling Determinants of Gut Microbiota and Tumor Immunologic Status Through a Multi-Omics Approach in Colorectal Cancer
Publication:Pharmacological Research
Main Methods:Microbiome, metabolome, transcriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing data integration
Abstract:This study explored the intricate relationships between gut microbiota and tumor immune status in colorectal cancer (CRC) using multi-omics data, including microbiome, metabolome, transcriptomics, and single-cell RNA sequencing. Integrating these datasets, the researchers identified distinct microbiota compositions in CRC patients and developed a machine-learning model with 28 biomarkers to detect CRC with high accuracy. The gut microbiota from CRC patients was found to suppress immune response, highlighting potential therapeutic targets. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy donors restored immune function and enhanced immunotherapy outcomes in CRC.
Research Results:
Analysis of Gut Microbial Diversity in CRC Patients
The authors first collected 16S rRNA sequencing data from CRC patients and healthy controls from PubMed, revealing significant differences in bacterial composition between the two groups. At the phylum level, CRC patients were predominantly characterized by Bacteroidetes, Fusobacteria, and Firmicutes. At the genus level, a total of 59 differential bacteria were identified between CRC patients and healthy controls, with 28 genera exhibiting higher expression and 34 genera exhibiting lower expression in CRC patients compared to the control group.

Machine Learning for Feature Selection and CRC Detection
This study employed LASSO and SVM-RFE algorithms to classify bacteria at the genus level, identifying 32 and 49 significant bacteria, respectively. By intersecting the two sets, 28 bacteria were retained. The area under the curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) results confirmed that these bacteria have good clinical applicability in distinguishing CRC patients from healthy controls.

Genus-Level Gut Microbe Analysis Using WGCNA
To better describe the interactions between gut microbes at the genus level, the authors constructed a WGCNA gut interaction network, identifying 24 independently functioning modules. Correlating these modules with clinicopathological features such as age, gender, and AJCC stage revealed significant associations with tumor status, MSI progression, and AJCC stage.

The figure's bottom displays module colors and the number of bases. (B) Module-trait correlations: each cell shows a module-clinical trait correlation coefficient and its p-value. Color intensity reflects correlation strength; red signifies positive and green negative correlations. (Li,2023)
Microbiome and Metabolome Correlation Analysis
The authors explored whether changes in the gut microbiome impact functionality by analyzing microbiome and metabolome data. PLS-DA showed distinct clustering of microbial functional profiles between CRC patients and healthy controls. A total of 92 differentially expressed metabolites were identified, and mapped to 360 genes using the HMDB database. An additional 4814 differentially expressed genes between tumor and normal tissues were identified from the TCGA-COAD and READ cohorts, with 32 overlapping targets. These targets mainly participated in alanine, aspartate, and amino acid biosynthesis. Among CRC patients, NOS1 had the highest mutation frequency, followed by BCHE, CHAT, and HDX. Metabolites may be vital mediators between the gut microbiome and host tumor immunity in CRC.

(E) Waterfall plot of 32 gene mutations in 399 TCGA-COAD patients.(Li,2023)
Correlation Analysis of Gut Microbiota with Various Immune Indicators
The authors then used the MCP-counter algorithm to estimate the immune cell infiltration level for each sample and examined the relationship between immune infiltration and gut microbial abundance through Spearman correlation analysis. The results indicated that, compared to the controls, bacteria associated with immune cell infiltration were more abundant in CRC patients. Additionally, there was a negative correlation between gut microbiota and numerous immune modulators.

Conclusion
This study revealed the substantial impact of gut microbiota on tumor immunity in CRC. Altering gut microbiota through healthy donor fecal microbial transplantation might be a viable approach to boost immunotherapy response, offering potential therapeutic options for CRC patients. The comprehensive analysis highlights the effectiveness of combining multi-omics data to explore the intricate interactions between gut microbiota and tumor immunity, establishing a strong foundation for discovering new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in CRC.
