摘要

Introduction

Gastrointestinal disorders (GIDs) affect nearly 40% of the global population, with gut microbiome-metabolome interactions playing a crucial role in gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to investigate how microbial and metabolic alterations contribute to disease development and assess whether biomarkers identified in one disease could potentially be used to predict another, highlighting cross-disease applicability.

Methods

Microbiome and metabolome datasets from Erawijantari et al. (GC: n = 42, Healthy: n = 54), Franzosa et al. (IBD: n = 164, Healthy: n = 56), and Yachida et al. (CRC: n = 150, Healthy: n = 127) were subjected to three machine learning algorithms, eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). Feature selection identified microbial and metabolite biomarkers unique to each disease and shared across conditions. A microbial community (MICOM) model simulated gut microbial growth and metabolite fluxes, revealing metabolic differences between healthy and diseased states. Finally, network analysis uncovered metabolite clusters associated with disease traits.

Results

Combined machine learning models demonstrated strong predictive performance, with Random Forest achieving the highest Area Under the Curve(AUC) scores for GC(0.94[0.83–1.00]), CRC (0.75[0.62–0.86]), and IBD (0.93[0.86–0.98]). These models were then employed for cross-disease analysis, revealing that models trained on GC data successfully predicted IBD biomarkers, while CRC models predicted GC biomarkers with optimal performance scores.

Conclusion

These findings emphasize the potential of microbial and metabolic profiling in cross-disease characterization particularly for GIDs, advancing biomarker discovery for improved diagnostics and targeted therapies.
