Distinct microbiome dysbiosis and epigenetic anomaly in esophageal adenocarcinoma and its underlying Barrett's esophagus.

ABSTRACT: Interaction between host genotoxic changes and mucosa-associated microbiome (MAM) dysbiosis may have a role in various digestive cancers. We investigated MAM in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) progression sequence and its association with host genotoxic changes. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed in three different groups of biopsies from nonneoplastic BE from patients without cancer (N, normal group; n = 47) and with EAC (ADJ, adjacent group; n = 27). Endoscopic biopsies were also obtained from EAC tissues (T, tumor group; n = 22). Results were correlated with TP53 mutation, telomere length and DNA methylation of candidate genes (N33, DPYS, SLC16A12, miR124A3 and miR34bc). Genome-wide DNA methylation examined by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing
