Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that human microbiome, composed of collective genomes of as many as 100 trillion
microorganisms, could be mediating disease-leading causal pathways initiated by environmental toxicants or
other factors such as drug usage. Prenatal arsenic exposure through drinking water, for example, could initiate
perturbation of gut microbiome, and therefore, children could inherit perturbed microbiome composition if their
mothers have arsenic exposure during perinatal period. The unhealthy microbiome composition could, in turn,
induce children’s asthma, infection and allergy which could explain that arsenic exposure during pregnancy is
related to children’s infection. Taken together, arsenic exposure could be the initiation of causal pathways leading
to children’s infection through perturbed mother’s microbiome being passed to children. There are many other
possible initiation factors such as diet, gene mutation, delivery mode and antibiotics leading to different children’s
health outcomes. These mediations could happen through changes in particular microbial taxa or though the
perturbation of microbiome population structure. While high-throughput sequencing technologies can
characterize the taxonomic composition of microbiome in unprecedented detail, none of the existing mediation
analysis methods is adequate enough to model the mediation effects of microbiome due to the unique
challenging features of microbiome data. Therefore, there is an urgent need to have appropriate mediation
analysis methods in place for estimating and testing the mediational effects of human microbiome. To address
these issues, we will develop two general mediation analysis frameworks to identify mediation through changes
in individual microbial taxa and model mediation though the perturbation of overall microbiome composition. The
models will be tested with extensive simulations and cross validations. An R package and an interactive web
application will be developed for model implementations. In the real study applications, we will quantify and test
the mediation effects of infant gut microbiome and breast-milk microbiome in the relations between prenatal
exposures (e.g., arsenic exposure, maternal diet) and childhood infections and allerg/atopy in the first year of
life using the rich data from the large ongoing longitudinal molecular epidemiologic New Hampshire Birth Cohort
study. With the applications of the proposed models in a cystic fibrosis (CF) study, we will examine whether CF
transmembrane conductance regulator gene mutations lay the biological foundation for patterns in the
developing microbiome in the gut that are associated with CF exacerbation onset in newborn children with CF.
By analyzing the data from the Infant Growth and Microbiome Study, we will answer the key question of the role
played by gut microbiome in associating early antibiotic exposure, delivering mode and feeding mode with infant
weight gain.
