As research progresses, it has become increasingly clear that the composition of gut microbiota may influence the onset and progression of hematologic malignancies. However, our understanding of this association remains limited.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In our study, we classified gut microbiota into five groups based on information at the phylum, class, order, family, and genus levels. Subsequently, we obtained data related to common hematologic malignancies from the IEU Open GWAS project. We then employed a bidirectional Mendelian Randomization (MR) approach to determine whether there is a causal relationship between gut microbiota and hematologic malignancies. Additionally, we conducted bidirectional MR analyses to ascertain the directionality of this causal relationship.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Through forward and reverse MR analyses, we found the risk of lymphoid leukemia was significantly associated with the abundance of phylum Cyanobacteria, order Methanobacteriales, class Methanobacteria, family Peptococcaceae, family Methanobacteriaceae, and genera Lachnospiraceae UCG010, Methanobrevibacter, Eubacterium brachy group, and Butyrivibrio. The risk of myeloid leukemia was significantly associated with the abundance of phylum Actinobacteria, phylum Firmicutes, order Bifidobacteriales, order Clostridiales, class Actinobacteria, class Gammaproteobacteria, class Clostridia, family Bifidobacteriaceae, and genera Fusicatenibacter, Eubacterium hallii group, Blautia, Collinsella, Ruminococcus gauvreauii group, and Bifidobacterium. The risk of Hodgkin lymphoma was significantly associated with the abundance of family Clostridiales vadinBB60 group, genus Peptococcus, and genus Ruminococcaceae UCG010. The risk of malignant plasma cell tumor was significantly associated with the abundance of genera Romboutsia and Eubacterium rectale group. The risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was significantly associated with the abundance of genera Erysipelatoclostridium and Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group. The risk of mature T\/NK cell lymphomas was significantly associated with the abundance of phylum Verrucomicrobia, genus Ruminococcaceae UCG013, genus Lachnoclostridium, and genus Eubacterium rectale group. Lastly, the risk of myeloproliferative neoplasms was significantly associated with the abundance of genus Coprococcus 3 and Eubacterium hallii group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study provided new evidence for the causal relationship between gut microbiota and hematologic malignancies, offering novel insights and approaches for the prevention and treatment of these tumors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2024.1412035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T04:32:45Z","timestamp":1718339565000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Refining the relationship between gut microbiota and common hematologic malignancies: insights from a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Pengyin","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anhua","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuyuan","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nannan","family":"Lyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiying","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1007\/s00018-018-2943-4","article-title":"An insight into gut microbiota and its functionalities","volume":"76","author":"Adak","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cell Mol.
