A study on the association between gut microbiota, inflammation, and type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was reported to be associated with impaired immune response and alterations in microbial composition and function. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. To investigate the association among retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptors (RLRs) signaling pathway, intestinal bacterial microbiome, microbial tryptophan metabolites, inflammation, and a longer course of T2DM, 14 patients with T2DM and 7 healthy controls were enrolled. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were utilized to analyze the stool samples. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was carried out on the peripheral blood samples. Additionally, C57BL/6J specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice were used. It was found that the longer course of T2DM could lead to a decrease in the abun
