女性阴道微生物菌群的多样性分布及变化规律

Diversity scaling of human vaginal microbial communities

  • 摘要: 早在上世纪90年代科学家便基于经典“多样性-稳定性关系(Diversity-Stability Relationship, DSR)”提出了细菌性阴道病(Bacteria Vaginosis, BV)的病因学假说。随着测序和分析技术的发展,近年来对阴道菌群结构和多样性的研究逐步深入。尽管如此,阴道菌群多样性在一类人群中个体间的分布或变化规律仍未得到充分的探究,而该问题在理论和实践两方面都具有非常重要的研究意义。在理论上,生物多样性变化尺度是生物地理学探究的核心问题,而在实践中,个体间菌群多样性的异质性可以更好的帮助探究和解释类似BV等菌群相关疾病的发生和发展。本研究将利用多样性-面积关系(Diversity-Area Relationship, DAR)模型深入探究阴道菌群多样性在1107名非洲产后健康妇女中分布和变化规律。DAR模型是对经典物种-面积关系(Species-Area Relationship, SAR)模型的扩展,该模型描述了累积物种多样性与面积(样本个体数)之间的幂法则(及其扩展)关系,并在此基础上衍生出四个生物地理学指标,包括多样性变化尺度参数、群落重叠度(Pair-Wise DiversityOverlap, PDO)、最大累积多样性(Maximal Accrual Diversity, MAD)以及个体水平与群落水平多样性的比值(Ratio of Individual-Level to Population level, RIP)。通过这些生物地理学指标可以帮助我们完善健康女性阴道菌群的生物地理学图谱,从而更好的把握菌群的动态变化,为BV等菌群相关疾病的研究提供可靠的生态学依据。

     

    Abstract: The composition and diversity of the human vaginal microbial community have been investigated intensively due to the diversity-stability relationship (DSR)-based hypothesis for bacterial vaginosis (BV) etiology, which was first proposed in the 1990s and has received renewed interest in recent years. Nevertheless, diversity changes (scaling) across individuals in a cohort or population have not yet been addressed, which is significant both theoretically and practically. Theoretically, biodiversity scaling is the core of biogeography, and practically, inter-subject heterogeneity is critical for understanding the etiology and epidemiology of human microbiome-associated diseases such as BV. Here we applied the diversity-area relationship (DAR), a recent extension to the classic species-area relationship (SAR), to study diversity scaling of the vaginal microbiome by reanalyzing reported data collected from 1 107 postpartum women. The model used here characterized the power-law (or its extension) relationships between accrued diversity and areas (numbers of individuals), upon which four biogeographic profiles were thus defined. Specifically, we established the DAR profile (relationship between diversity scaling parameter and so-termed diversity order (q)), similarly pair-wise diversity overlap (PDO) profile, maximal accrual diversity (MAD) profile, and ratio of individual-level to population-level diversity (RIP) profile. These four profiles offer valuable tools to assess and predict diversity scaling (changes) in the human vaginal microbiome across individuals, as well as to understand the dynamics of vaginal microbiomes in healthy women.
