#paper Pan-cancer analyses reveal cancer-type-specific fungal ecologies and bacteriome interactions. Cell. 2022 Sep 29;185(20):3789-3806.e17. doi:10.1016/j.cell.2022.09.005. 本文通过对包括TCGA数据库在内的四个独立队列中的35种癌症类型的17,401名患者的组织和血液中的真菌群落进行全面表征,研究队列使用的测序方法包括ITS2扩增子测序、WGS及RNA-Seq。研究结果表明真菌普遍存在于多种肿瘤内,且不同癌症类型具有癌症特异性真菌群。肿瘤内真菌-细菌-免疫细胞相互作用分析表明真菌-细菌-免疫细胞间的关联性相对“宽容”,而非此消彼长的竞争关系,最后本文探索了真菌在癌症预后和诊断中的应用。本研究的意义在于构建了首个泛癌真菌微生物组图谱,为癌症与真菌的关系提供清晰的联系。

Abstract:
Cancer-microbe associations have been explored for centuries, but cancer-associated fungi have rarely been examined. Here, we comprehensively characterize the cancer mycobiome within 17,401 patient tissue, blood, and plasma samples across 35 cancer types in four independent cohorts. We report fungal DNA and cells at low abundances across many major human cancers, with differences in community compositions that differ among cancer types, even when accounting for technical background. Fungal histological staining of tissue microarrays supported intratumoral presence and frequent spatial association with cancer cells and macrophages. Comparing intratumoral fungal communities with matched bacteriomes and immunomes revealed co-occurring bi-domain ecologies, often with permissive, rather than competitive, microenvironments and distinct immune responses. Clinically focused assessments suggested prognostic and diagnostic capacities of the tissue and plasma mycobiomes, even in stage I cancers, and synergistic predictive performance with bacteriomes.
