Stool and plasma samples from 114 subjects, including in SLE (n = 27), SjS (n = 23), PAPs (n = 11) and undifferentiated connective tissue (UCTD, n = 26) patients, and geographically-matched healthy controls (HCs, n = 27), were collected for microbiome (16s rRNA gene sequencing) and metabolome (high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry) analysis to identify shared characteristics across diseases. Out of 130 identified microbial genera, a subset of 29 bacteria was able to differentiate study groups (area under receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) = 0.730 ± 0.025). A fair classification was obtained with a subset of 41 metabolic peaks out of 254 (AUROC = 0.748 ± 0.021). In both models, HCs were well separated from SADs, while UCTD largely overlapped with the other diseases. In all of the SADs pro-tolerogenic bacteria were reduced, while pathobiont genera were increased. Metabolic alterations included two clusters comprised of: (a) members of the acylcarnitine family, positively correlating with a Prevotella-enriched cluster and negatively correlating with a butyrate-producing bacteria-enriched cluster; and (b) phospholipids, negatively correlating with butyrate-producing bacteria. These findings demonstrate a strong interaction between intestinal microbiota and metabolic function in patients with SADs.}, organization = {This work was supported by EU/EFPIA/Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking PRECISESADS grant No. 115565.}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Microbiomic}, keywords = {Metabolomics}, keywords = {Systemic autoimmune diseases}, keywords = {Systemic lupus erythematosus}, keywords = {Sjögren’s syndrome}, keywords = {Primary anti-phosholipid syndrome}, keywords = {Undifferentiated connective tissue diseases}, title = {Identification of a Shared Microbiomic and Metabolomic Profile in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases}, doi = {10.3390/jcm8091291}, author = {Fernández Ochoa, Álvaro and Quirantes-Piné, Rosa and Borras Linares, María Isabel and Segura-Carrettero, Antonio and Alarcón Riquelme, Marta Eugenia}, }
