Integrated analysis of microbiome and metabolome reveals signatures in PDAC tumorigenesis and prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer, predominantly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is one of the most malignant tumors of the digestive system. Emerging evidence suggests the involvement of the microbiome and metabolic substances in the development of PDAC, yet the results remain contradictory. This study aims to identify the alterations and relationships in intratumoral microbiome and metabolites in PDAC. We collected matched tumor and normal adjacent tissue (NAT) samples from 105 PDAC patients and performed a 6-year follow-up. 2bRAD-M sequencing, untargeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were performed. Compared with NATs, microbial α-diversity decreased in PDAC tumors. The relative abundance of Staphylococcus aureus,
