Abstract

Viliuisk encephalomyelitis (VE) is a unique endemic disease of the central nervous system, in which neurodegenerative processes are initiated by chronic aseptic subclinical inflammation of the brain. Recent research suggests that the gut microbiome play an important role in immune activation and inflammation in a variety of neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. The article discusses the results of a pilot study of the intestinal microbiome of healthy representatives of the Sakha ethnic group (Yakuts) and VE patients, carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Gene Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Atlas-Biomed Group – Knomics LLC. In the stool samples of VE patients the level of g.Prevotella, g.Faecalibacterium, f.Ruminococcaeae, as well as other unclassified members of o.Clostridiaceae was reduced. A significant increase in the proportion of bacteria g.Akkermansia, archaea Methanobrevibacter, and, on the verge of significance, of the families Christensenellaceae and Mogibacteriaceae was revealed. Analysis of the associations of the gut microbiome and the disease using the selbal algorithm showed a tendency for the association of VE with Methanobrevibacter, which is represented by M. smithii and one or more unclassified genera of the Coriobacteriaceae family. The revealed features of the taxonomic composition of intestinal microbiome in VE patients contribute to the development of a chronic subclinical inflammatory process, as well as pathological lipogenesis.
