Malignant Prostate Tissue Is Associated with Different Microbiome Gene Functions.

ABSTRACT: Specific microorganisms and changes in the constituents of the microbiome are linked with pathologies in humans, such as malignancy. Within the prostate, certain bacterial communities may locate advantageous conditions and establish themselves, thus outperforming alternative species. In this study, a comparison of malignant (MT) and benign prostate tissues (BT) or benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) was performed in order to delineate the respective microbiomes in each sample type and to determine their pertinence to prostatic tumourigenesis. Specimens of MT (n = 26) and PT (n = 13)/BPH (n = 10) were acquired from patients. No variations in the make-up of the microbiome were seen when MT and PT specimens were compared. Changes in the bacterial constituents and functional genes were seen in the specimens obtained from patients with MT when contrasted against samples from those with BPH. Pelomonas was the genus with the highest abundance in MT specimens. It is proposed that dissimilar microbiome gene functions are present in the contexts of MT and PT samples.

Project description:BackroundInflammation characterized by the presence of T and B cells is often observed in prostate cancer, but it is unclear how T- and B-cell levels change during carcinogenesis and whether such changes influence disease progression.MethodsThe study used a retrospective sample of 73 prostate cancer cases (45 whites and 28 African Americans) that underwent surgery as their primary treatment and had a benign prostate biopsy at least 1 year before diagnosis. CD3+, CD4+, and CD20+ lymphocytes were quantified by immunohistochemistry in paired pre- and post-diagnostic benign prostate biopsy and tumor surgical specimens, respectively. Clusters of similar trends of expression across two different timepoints and three distinct prostate regions-benign biopsy glands (BBG), tumor-adjacent benign glands (TAG), and malignant tumor glandular (MTG) regions-were identified using Time-series Anytime Density Peaks Clustering (TADPole). A Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of time to biochemical recurrence associated with region-specific lymphocyte counts and regional trends.ResultsThe risk of biochemical recurrence was significantly reduced in men with an elevated CD20+ count in TAG (HR = 0.81, p = 0.01) after adjusting for covariates. Four distinct patterns of expression change across the BBG-TAG-MTG regions were identified for each marker. For CD20+, men with low expression in BBG and higher expression in TAG compared to MTG had an adjusted HR of 3.06 (p = 0.03) compared to the reference group that had nominal differences in CD20+ expression across all three regions. The two CD3+ expression patterns that featured lower CD3+ expression in the BBG compared to the TAG and MTG regions had elevated HRs ranging from 3.03 to 4.82 but did not reach statistical significance.ConclusionsLongitudinal and spatial expression patterns of both CD3+ and CD20+ suggest that increased expression in benign glands during prostate carcinogenesis is associated with an aggressive disease course.
