While several studies have proposed a connection between the gut microbiome and the pathogenesis of Graves's disease (GD), there has been a lack of reports on alteration in microbiome following using anti-thyroid drug treatment (ATD) to treat GD. Stool samples were collected from newly diagnosed GD patients provided at baseline and after 6 months of ATD treatment. The analysis focused on investigating the association between the changes in the gut microbiome and parameter including thyroid function, thyroid-related antibodies, and the symptom used to assess hyperthyroidism before and after treatment. A healthy control (HC) group consisting of data from 230 healthy subjects (110 males and 120 females) sourced from the open EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database was included. Twenty-nine GD patients (14 males and 15 females) were enrolled. The analysis revealed a significant reduction of alpha diversity in GD patients. However, after ATD treatment, alpha diversity exhibited a significant increase, restored to levels comparable to the HC levels. Additionally, GD patients displayed lower levels of Firmicutes and higher levels of Bacteroidota. Following treatment, there was an increased in Firmicutes and a decrease in Bacteroidota, resembling levels found in the HC levels. The symptoms of hyperthyroidism were negatively associated with Firmicutes and positively associated with Bacteroidota. GD had significantly lower levels of Roseburia, Lachnospiraceaea, Sutterella, Escherichia-shigella, Parasuterella, Akkermansia, and Phascolarctobacterium compared to HC (all p < 0.05). Post-treatment, Subdoligranulum increased (p = 0.010), while Veillonella and Christensenellaceaea R-7 group decreased (p = 0.023, p = 0.029, respectively). Anaerostipes showed a significant association with both higher smoking pack years and TSHR-Ab levels, with greater abundantce observed in smokers among GD (p = 0.16). Although reduced ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes was evident in GD, this ratio recovered after treatment. This study postulates the involvement of the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis of GD, suggesting potential restoration after treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
