Altered Airway Microbiota Composition in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension

Abstract: Alteration in microbiota composition of respiratory tract has been reported in the progression of many chronic lung diseases, yet, the correlation and causal link between respiratory tract microbiota and the disease development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remain largely unknown. This study aims to define and compare the respiratory microbiota composition in pharyngeal swab samples between patients with PH and reference subjects. A total of 118 patients with PH and 79 reference subjects were recruited, and t… Show more

“…Alpha diversity of patients with OSA or HTN decreased compared with the control group, indicating a decrease in the richness of the microflora, which was similar to the results of previous studies. 16 , 32 Simultaneously, beta-diversity analysis suggested there was significantly different community evolution structures among the different groups of patients. Ko et al found the abundance of the Porphyromonas was significantly higher in oral mucosal samples of OSA patients with or without HTN compared with controls.…”

“…All extracted DNA samples were stored at −80°C for further analysis. The amplicon library preparation was performed by polymerase chain reaction amplification of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene using the primer pairs: 338F (5′-ACTCCTACGGGAGGCAGCAG-3′) and 806R (5′-GGACTACHVGGGTWTCT-AAT-3′) by thermocycler polymerase chain reaction system ABI GeneAmp 9700 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington, DE, United States) The polymerase chain reactions amplification refer to the previous study ( Zhang et al, 2020 ).…”

“…The symptoms of worsening hypoxia include gradual cessation of consciousness, purple skin all over the body, decreased blood pressure, dilated pupils, coma, and finally death due to breathing difficulties, cardiac arrest, and hypoxic asphyxiation. Altitude sickness can occur when the body undergoes a change in altitude ( Zhang et al, 2020 ). Some diseases, such as colorectal and liver cancer, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and the currently urgent COVID-19, involve varying degrees of anoxia ( Zhou et al, 2020 ).…”
