Metagenomic Shotgun Sequencing and Unbiased Metabolomic Profiling Identify Specific Human Gut Microbiota and Metabolites Associated with Immune Checkpoint Therapy Efficacy in Melanoma Patients/Experiment 1/Signature 1

Description: MSS identifies specific bacterial species that are enriched in the gut microbiomes of melanoma patients who are responding to ICT therapy. Relative abundance of gut bacterial taxa as determined by MetaPhlAn analysis of MSS data generated from fecal specimens collected from melanoma patients prior to receiving ipilimumab/nivolumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimumab alone, or nivolumab alone.Differential taxonomic abundance was analyzed by linear discriminate analysis coupled with effect size measurements (LEfSe) projected as a histogram (A, C and E) or cladrogram (B, D and F). All listed bacterial groups were significantly (P b .05, Kruskal-Wallis test) enriched for their respective groups (responder versus progressive).
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Responders
