Functional and metabolic alterations of gut microbiota in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Gut dysbiosis has been linked to type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, microbial capacity in T1D remains unclear. Here, we integratively profiled gut microbial functional and metabolic alterations in children with new-onset T1D in independent cohorts and investigated the underlying mechanisms. In T1D, the microbiota was characterized by decreased butyrate production and bile acid metabolism and increased lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis at the species, gene, and metabolite levels. The combination of 18 bacterial species and fecal metabolites provided excellently discriminatory power for T1D. Gut microbiota from children with T1D induced elevated fasting glucose levels and declined insulin sensitivity in antibiotic-treated mice. In streptozotocin-induced T1D mice, butyrate and lipopolysaccharide e
