Diet and body size influence the gut microbiota and are important risk factors for prostate cancer (PCa). However, the association between the gut microbiota and PCa is not well understood. To clarify this association, we analysed the gut microbiota profiles of men with high-grade PCa. METHODS: We collected rectal swab samples of 189 Japanese men who were suspected of PCa based on screening such as MRI or prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests and underwent prostate biopsies from December 2018 to March 2020 at the Osaka University Hospital, Osaka Police Hospital and Osaka General Medical Center. All hospitals are located in Osaka, Japan. RESULTS: One hundred fifty-two Japanese men undergoing prostate biopsies were included in the study and divided into two cohorts: discovery cohort (114 subjects, 72 with cancer and 42 without cancer) and external test cohort (38 subjects, 24 with cancer and 14 without cancer). The gut microbiota in the discovery cohort was compared between two groups, a high-grade PCa group (men with Gleason score 7 or higher PCa) and a negative+low-grade PCa group (men with negative biopsy or Gleason score 6 PCa) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Alpha diversity and beta diversity did not differ significantly between the two groups. Using the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) method, the relative abundance of Rikenellaceae, Alistipes, and Lachnospira were shown to be significantly increased in patients with high-grade PCa (LDA score>2.5). Phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) showed a significant increase in five metabolic pathways: multiple amino acid metabolisms, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and histidine (LDA score>2.0). In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the index calculated from the amount of 18 bacterial genera, including Lachnospira, which were selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, detected high-grade PCa in the discovery cohort with higher accuracy than the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test (area under the curve (AUC)=0.85 vs. 0.74). Validation of the index in the test cohort showed similar results (AUC = 0.81 vs. 0.67). CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate an association between a gut microbiota composed of 18 genera and the presence of high-grade PCa in Japanese men. This gut microbiota profile could be a novel useful marker for the detection of high-grade PCa with greater accuracy than the PSA test.
