Increased expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 and galectin 9 in transplant recipients who achieved tolerance after immunosuppression withdrawal

Figure: Gut microbiota composition for four major cities and groups of EVB risk.Composition of Alpha diversity (A, E).Average relative abundances of the predominant bacterial taxa at the phylum (B, F) and genus (C, G) levels.Scatter plots of PCoA based on Unweighted UniFrac for gut microbiota composition to show beta diversity (D, H).Alpha diversity and PCoA plots for the single center in TJ (J) and XT (K). Conclusion:The multicenter study suggested that gut microbiome varies from region to region, but both alpha and beta diversity weren't associated to risk of EVB in compensated cirrhosis.Further studies exploring specific differential bacteria correlated with the risk of EVB are needed.
