Abstract
PURPOSE: Microbial imbalances have been well elucidated in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), but few studies address the oral microbiota in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In view of the fact, we aimed to explore the associations of oral microbiota with these patients suffering from ESCC. METHODS: In our study, a total of 109 individuals were enrolled (control = 53, ESCC = 56). We profiled the microbiota in oral swabs from individuals with control (ConT) and ESCC (ESCCT). 16S rRNA gene sequencing was applied to analyze the microbiome. The α and β diversity differences were tested by Tukey Test and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) respectively. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis was performed to assess taxonomic differences between the two groups. RESULTS: Our results showed that the microbial richness and diversity was a slightly higher in ESCCT groups than that in ConT groups. Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria, Actinobacteria and Patescibacteria were the six dominant bacteria of oral flora in the two groups. When compared with control group, increased Fusobacterioa at phylum level, Neisseriaceae at family level and Leptotrichia at genus level were detected. LEfSe analysis indicated a greater abundance of Leptotrichiaceae, Leptotrichia, Fusobacteriales, Fusobacteria and Fusobacteriota in ESCC groups. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests a potential association between oral microbiome dysbiosis and ESCC and provides insights on a potential screening marker for esophageal cancer.
