Insights of Host Physiological Parameters and Gut Microbiome of Indian Type 2 Diabetic Patients Visualized Metagenomics and Machine Learning Approaches.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a serious public health issue and may also contribute to modification in the structure of the intestinal microbiota, implying a link between T2D and microbial inhabitants in the digestive tract. This work aimed to develop efficient models for identifying essential physiological markers for improved T2D classification using machine learning algorithms. Using amplicon metagenomic approaches, an effort has also been made to understand the alterations in core gut microbial members in Indian T2D patients with respect to their control normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Our data indicate the level of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were the most useful physiological indicators while random forest and support vector machine with RBF Kernel were effective predictions models for identifications of T2D. The dominating gut microbial members , etc. in Indian T2D patients showed a strong association with both FBG and HbA1c. These members have been reported to have a crucial role in gut barrier breakdown, blood glucose, and lipopolysaccharide level escalation, or as biomarkers. While the dominant NGT microbiota (, etc.) in the colon has been shown to influence inflammatory immune responses by acting as an anti-inflammatory agent and maintaining the gut barrier. The topology study of co-occurrence network analysis indicates that changes in network complexity in T2D lead to variations in the different gut microbial members compared to NGT. These studies provide a better understanding of the gut microbial diversity in Indian T2D patients and show the way for the development of valuable diagnostics strategies to improve the prediction and modulation of the T2D along with already established methods.
