摘要:

新生儿呼吸窘迫综合征(neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, NRDS)是导致新生儿发病和死亡的重要原因之一,通常与早产、肺表面活性物质缺乏及炎症反应密切相关。越来越多的研究表明,肠道菌群及炎症细胞因子可能通过“肠-肺轴”参与NRDS的发生发展,但其潜在因果关系尚未阐明。本研究整合美国食品药品监督管理局不良事件报告系统(FAERS)的药物警戒数据,并结合双向孟德尔随机化(Mendelian randomization, MR)及中介MR分析,系统探讨药物暴露、肠道菌群与炎症细胞因子在NRDS中的作用。基于2004–2024年的FAERS数据,共筛选出162种与NRDS风险显著相关的药物,主要包括抗生素、全身用激素及免疫调节剂。MR分析结果显示,CAG-177 sp003514385和Chromatiales丰度增加可提升血浆潜伏相关肽转化生长因子β1(latency-associated peptide transforming growth factor beta 1, LAP-TGF-β1)及CUB结构域包含蛋白1(CUB domain–containing protein 1, CDCP1)水平,而二者均对NRDS具有保护作用。相反,Syntrophomonadia丰度升高与NRDS风险增加相关,但较高水平的CDCP1可在一定程度上部分缓解这一不利影响。敏感性分析进一步验证了上述结果的稳健性。总体而言,本研究为药物暴露、肠道菌群失衡、炎症细胞因子信号通路与NRDS风险之间的关联提供了新的证据,并提示LAP-TGF-β1和CDCP1有望成为NRDS的潜在生物标志物和治疗靶点,凸显了基于肠道微生态和细胞因子调控策略在NRDS预防与治疗中的应用前景。

Abstract:

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality and is closely linked to prematurity, surfactant deficiency, and inflammatory processes. Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiota and inflammatory cytokines may modulate NRDS through the gut-lung axis; however, the underlying causal relationships remain incompletely understood. In the present study, we integrated pharmacovigilance data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) with bidirectional and mediation Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to investigate the roles of drug exposure, gut microbiota, and inflammatory cytokines in NRDS. FAERS data spanning 2004 to 2024 identified 162 drugs significantly associated with NRDS risk, including antibiotics, systemic hormones, and immunomodulatory agents. MR analyses revealed that increased abundances of CAG-177 sp003514385 and Chromatiales were associated with elevated plasma levels of latency-associated peptide transforming growth factor beta 1 (LAP-TGF-β1) and CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1), both of which exhibited protective effects against NRDS. In contrast, increased abundance of Syntrophomonadia was associated with a higher risk of NRDS, although elevated CDCP1 levels partially mitigated this effect. Sensitivity analyses supported the robustness of these findings. Overall, this study provided novel evidence linking drug exposure, gut microbiota dysbiosis, inflammatory cytokine signaling, and NRDS risk, and identified LAP-TGF-β1 and CDCP1 as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, highlighting the promise of microbiota- and cytokine-targeted strategies for the prevention and management of NRDS.
