Cecal microbiota association with tumor load in a colorectal cancer mouse model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types worldwide. The role of the intestinal microbiota in CRC, however, is not well established. In particular, the co-variation between age, tumor progression and microbiota remains largely unknown. Objective and design: We therefore used a recently developed A/J Min/+ mouse model resembling human CRC to investigate how microbial composition in cecum correlates with tumor progression, butyrate and age. Results: We found that the association between the gut microbiota and tumor load was stronger, by far, than the association with both butyrate and age. The strongest direct tumor association was found for mucosal bacteria, with nearly 60% of the significantly correlating operational taxonomic units being correlated with CRC tumor load alone. Conclusion: We favor a systemic association between tumor load and microbiota, since the correlations are associated with tumor load in gut segments other than the cecum (both small and large intestine).

Antitumor effects of umbelliprenin in a mouse model of colorectal cancer
Umbelliprenin is a sesquiterpene coumarin with vitro anti-carcinogenic activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumor effects of umbelliprenin in animal models of colorectal cancer. The cytotoxic effects of umbelliprenin were explored on CT26 and L929by MTT assay. In this study, colorectal tumors developed in mice by intradermal injection of CT26 cell line. Tumor size, serum...

متن کاملEffect of Dietary Fibers on Cecal Microbiota and Intestinal Tumorigenesis in Azoxymethane Treated A/J Min/+ Mice
Foods naturally high in dietary fiber are generally considered to protect against development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the intrinsic effect of dietary fiber on intestinal carcinogenesis is unclear. We used azoxymethane (AOM) treated A/J Min/+ mice, which developed a significantly higher tumor load in the colon than in the small intestine, to compare the effects of dietary inulin (IN...

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, Human guts harbor abundant microbes that adjust many aspects of host physiology. Increasing studies show that gut microbiota plays a significant role in the incidence and expansion of CRC, as a result of virulence factors, bacterial metabolites, or inflammatory pathways. Materials and Methods: In this study, viability o...

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in the world which is mainly caused by epigenetic and environmental factors. Among these epigenetic factors, gut microbiota is an important one. Although it has not been proved a unique group of bacteria correlated with colorectal cancer, these findings have generally demonstrated differences between healthy and disease gut microbio...
