Abstract:

Objective To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in obese population with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 21 obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(study group) and 21 obese subjects with normal glucose(control group) were enrolled. The fecal samples were collected and determined by Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing for the V3 region of 16S rRNA gene. The abundance and distribution were analyzed by cluster analysis. Gut microbiota was analyzed by real-time quantitation polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results The analysis of DNA sequence was successfully performed. The rare faction curves showed that adequate sequencing depth was achieved,and the coverage indices were >0.99. The Ace and Chao1 indices of study group were lower than those of control group(P<0.05). The Shannon index or Simpson index of study group was lower or higher than that of control group(P<0.05). The results of real-time quantitation PCR showed that the quantities of Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were lower(P<0.05),while that of Bacteroidetes was higher in study group than that in control group(P<0.05). The quantities of Proteobacteria and Fusobacteria had no statistical significance between the 2 groups(P>0.05). The quantities ofVeillonella,Clostridium Ⅳ and Bacteroides were higher,and the quantities of Lactobacillus,Blautia coccoides-Eubacterium rectale,Prevotella and Bifidobacterium were lower in study group compared with those in control group(P<0.05). Conclusions The obese population with type 2 diabetes mellitus has low abundance and diversity of gut microbiota. The quantitation analysis of the composition of gut microbiota has a certain significance.
