宿主体内的微生物会影响癌症进展和治疗有效性。饮食和药物会破坏微生物组的多样性,微生物组中的关键物种会对宿主的免疫力产生局部或全局的影响。1,2
未来的治疗方法有可能会结合现有的癌症疗法与其他能促进有益微生物生长或消除有害微生物的方法。随着基于NGS的研究继续探索宿主与微生物组的相互关系,Illumina正在努力开发可加强该领域并为其带来前景的基因组技术。
现代癌症免疫疗法的有效性受肠道微生物组组成的影响。
Microbes that influence cytokine release and inflammation can exert either a positive or negative effect on tumor growth, or the ability of the immune system to suppress tumor growth.
NGS allows profiling of microbial communities in different contexts, which is critical for identifying species or conditions that may be targeted for developing new therapeutic approaches to cancer.
The ability of NGS to analyze complex microbial communities may help to uncover new mechanisms of host–microbe interactions that promote cancer or promote drug efficacy.
The throughput and cost savings of NGS have fueled metagenomics studies capable of surveying the genomes of entire microbial communities.
