Abstract

Background: Recent research has illuminated the pivotal role of low-grade inflammation in metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes, with gut microbiota dysbiosis playing a key role. Metaproteomics offers a novel lens to explore these interactions by profiling protein compositions in microbial communities, revealing insights into the metabolic disruptions that accompany these conditions.


Objective: This study aims to compile and analyze existing metaproteomic research related to obesity and both types of diabetes, identifying specific metaproteomic alterations that correlate with these metabolic diseases.


Methods: Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, a rigorous selection process was employed to gather relevant studies on the metaproteomics of obesity and diabetes. This involved analyzing microbial and human protein alterations, focusing on patterns consistently observed in these diseases.


Results: Analysis identified unique metaproteomic signatures associated with obesity and diabetes, highlighting both microbial and human proteins. Specifically, alterations in proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism and inflammation were recurrent. Despite the identification of up- or down-regulated proteins across studies, the limited breadth of comprehensive metaproteomic data restricts definitive conclusions.


Conclusion: Metaproteomics has shed light on the intricate metabolic disturbances in obesity and diabetes. However, the discipline remains nascent, necessitating further development of specialized databases and standardized methodologies to deepen our understanding and treatment of these complex diseases.
