摘要
Changes in lung and gut microbial communities have been associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aimed to investigate correlations between microbial changes in the lung and gut and host physiological indices in an IPF model, exploring potential mechanisms of the lung-gut axis in IPF pathogenesis. IPF model rats were established via trans-tracheal injection of bleomycin, with assessments of hematological indices, serum cytokines, lung histopathology, and microbiome alterations. Significant differences in microbial structure and composition were observed in the IPF model compared to controls, with 14 lung and 7 gut microbial genera showing significant abundance changes. Further analysis revealed 20 significant correlations between pulmonary and gut genera. Notably, 11 pairs of correlated genera were linked to the same IPF-related physiological indices, such as hydroxyproline, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and red cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD). We identified 24 instances where a lung and a gut genus were each associated with the same physiological index, forming "lung genus-index-gut genus" relationships. Mediation analysis showed that indices like hydroxyproline, MCV, and RDW-SD mediated correlations between 10 lung genera (e.g., Cetobacterium, Clostridium XVIII ) and the gut genus Allobaculum. This study first describes gut-lung microbial interactions in pulmonary fibrosis. Mediation analysis suggests pathways underlying "lung genus-host index-gut genus" and "gut genus-host index-lung genus" correlations, thus providing clues to further elucidate the mechanisms of the "gut-lung axis" in IPF pathogenesis.
