Supplementary file 1_Disease-modifying therapies are associated with improved olfactory function via NK cell- microbiota interactions in multiple sclerosis.doc

Listed in figshare

Objective<p>To examine the associations of nasal microbiota with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), lymphocyte subsets and olfactory function in multiple sclerosis (MS).</p>Methods<p>Thirty patients with MS and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled.

Description

Patients were classified as DMT-treated (MS[DMT+]) or untreated (MS[DMT-]). Olfactory function was assessed using the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT).

Lymphocyte subsets were measured by flow cytometry, and nasal microbiota were analysed by 16S rRNA sequencing.</p>Results<p>Olfactory function was lower in MS than in HCs, and better in MS(DMTs+) than in MS(DMTs−) (p =0.016, 95% CI 0.5614 to 4.941). NK cell counts were lower in MS(DMTs+) than in MS(DMTs−) (p =0.049, 95% CI -244.7 to -0.2109). And NK cell counts in MS(DMTs+) correlate with UPSIT (r =-0.527, p =0.029).

Compared with HCs, MS(DMTs−) showed higher Shannon diversity (p =0.038), increased Proteobacteria (p =0.004), reduced Moraxellaceae (p =0.037) and Enterobacteriaceae (p =0.033), and enriched branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis (p =0.026). In MS(DMTs+), Campylobacter, Anaerococcus, Peptoniphilus, Prevotella, and Finegoldia were positively correlated with circulating NK cells (all p<0.05).</p>Conclusion<p>DMTs may improve olfactory function in MS, possibly through modulation of circulating NK cell-associated immune status and nasal microbiota, in addition to controlling disease-related inflammation.</p>
