Integrated analysis of microbiome and host transcriptome reveals correlations between gut microbiota and clinical outcomes in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The gut-liver axis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the correlations between the gut microbiome and the liver tumor transcriptome in patients with HCC and the impact of the gut microbiota on clinical outcome are less well-understood. METHODS: Fecal samples collected from HBV-related HCC patients (n = 113) and healthy volunteers (n = 100) were...
