BACKGROUND: The role of the lung microbiome in the pathogenesis of idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis is unknown. We investigated whether unique microbial
signatures were associated with progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
METHODS: Patients (aged 35-80 years) with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis within 4
years of diagnosis from the Correlating Outcomes with biochemical Markers to
Estimate Time-progression (COMET) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis study were
followed up for a maximum of 80 weeks. Progression-free survival was defined as
time to death, acute exacerbation, lung transplant, or decrease in forced vital
capacity (FVC) of 10% or greater or decrease in diffusion capacity of the lung
(DLCO) of 15% or greater. DNA was isolated from 55 samples of bronchoscopic
alveolar lavage. 454 pyrosequencing was used to assign operational taxonomic
units (OTUs) to bacteria based on a 3% sequence divergence. Adjusted Cox models
were used to identify OTUs that were significantly associated with
progression-free survival at a p<0.10. These OTUs were then used in the analysis
of the principal components. The association between principal components and
microbes with high factor loadings and progression-free survival were assessed
with Cox regression analyses. The COMET study is registered with
ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01071707. FINDINGS: Mean FVC was 70.1% (SD 17.0)
and DLCO 42.3% (14.0) of predicted. Disease progression was significantly
associated with increased relative abundance of two OTUs-Streptococcus OTU 1345
(relative risk 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.18; p=0.0009) and Staphylococcus OTU 1348
(1.16, 1.03-1.31, p=0.012). Thresholds for relative abundance of each OTU
associated with progression-free survival were more than 3.9% for Streptococcus
OTU 1345 (10.19, 2.94-35.35; p=0.0002) and more than 1.8% for Staphylococcus OTU
1348 (5.06, 1.71-14.93; p=0.003). INTERPRETATION: These preliminary data suggest
progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is associated with the presence of
specific members within the Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera. Additional
research will be needed to identify the specific bacterial species and to
ascertain whether this is a causal association. FUNDING: National Institutes of
