High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing of the pulmonary microbiome of rats with allergic asthma
摘要
Abstract
decrease in microbial infection in adolescents is implicated with an increase in the incidence of asthma and allergic diseases in adulthood
indicating that the microbiome plays a critical role in asthma. However
the microbial composition of the lower respiratory tract remains unclear
hindering the further exploration of the pathogenesis of asthma. This study aims to explore the microbial distribution and composition in the lungs of normal rats and rats with allergic asthma via 16S rDNA sequencing.The DNA of the pulmonary microbiome was extracted from the left lungs collected from normal control group (NC)
saline control group (SC)
and allergic asthma group (AA) under aseptic conditions. After the 16s rDNA V4V5 region was amplified
the products were sequenced using Illumina high-throughput technology and subjected to operational taxonomic unit (OTU) cluster and taxonomy analysis.The OTU values of AA increased significantly compared with those of NC and SC. Microbiome structure analysis showed that the dominant phylum of the pulmonary microbiome changed from
Proteobacteria
in NC to
Firmicutes
in AA. Linear discriminant analysis indicated that the key microbiomes involved in the three groups varied.Numerous microbiomes stably settled in the lungs of the rats in NC and AA. The structure and diversity of the pulmonary microbiome in AA differed from those in NC.
