Regulatory T-cell Response to Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis Colonization Triggers IL17-Dependent Colon Carcinogenesis.
UNLABELLED Many epithelial cancers are associated with chronic inflammation. However, the features of inflammation that are procarcinogenic are not fully understood. Regulatory T cells (Treg) typically restrain overt inflammatory responses and maintain intestinal immune homeostasis. Their immune-suppressive activity can inhibit inflammation-associated cancers. Paradoxically, we show that coloni...
متن کاملPolyamine catabolism contributes to enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis-induced colon tumorigenesis.
It is estimated that the etiology of 20-30% of epithelial cancers is directly associated with inflammation, although the direct molecular events linking inflammation and carcinogenesis are poorly defined. In the context of gastrointestinal disease, the bacterium enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is a significant source of chronic inflammation and has been implicated as a risk factor f...
متن کاملDetection of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis by PCR.
Strains of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) are associated with diarrhea in young farm animals and, at least in particular settings, in children. Enterotoxin production by ETBF is currently detected by a tissue culture assay with HT-29 cells. We have developed a PCR assay based on the detection of the enterotoxin gene to identify ETBF in culture and in stool samples. Overall, 113 bac...
متن کاملAssociation of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis with bacteremia.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was compared with cell culture assay performed with use of HT29/C1 (human colonic epithelial) cells for identifying strains of enterotoxin-producing Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolated from extraintestinal specimens. A total of 188 unselected strains obtained over 2 years at a central clinical laboratory in Tokyo were tested. Overall, 35 strains (18.6%) we...
متن کاملEnterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis: a rogue among symbiotes.
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) strains are strains of B. fragilis that secrete a 20-kDa heat-labile zinc-dependent metalloprotease toxin termed the B. fragilis toxin (BFT). BFT is the only recognized virulence factor specific for ETBF. ETBF strains are associated with inflammatory diarrheal disease in children older than 1 year of age and in adults; limited data suggest an associat...
