Explanation of colon cancer pathophysiology through analyzing the disrupted homeostasis of bile acids.

چکیده
BACKGROUND The colon plays a key role in regulating the homeostasis of bile acids. AIM The present study aims to evaluate the influence of colon cancer towards the homeostasis of bile acids. METHODS The free and conjugated bile acids were determined using ultraperformance LC (UPLC) coupled with ABI 4000 QTRAP triple quadrupole instruments. RESULTS The results showed that the free bile acids in serum of patients with colon cancers tend to increase, and the conjugated bile acids tended to decrease, especially for taurolithocholate (TLCA) (p<0.001). CONCLUSION The alteration of bile acids balance in colon cancers indicated the possibility of complicated diseases due to the disrupted balance of bile acids.

Hydrophobic bile acids, genomic instability, Darwinian selection, and colon carcinogenesis
Sporadic colon cancer is caused predominantly by dietary factors. We have selected bile acids as a focus of this review since high levels of hydrophobic bile acids accompany a Western-style diet, and play a key role in colon carcinogenesis. We describe how bile acid-induced stresses cause cell death in susceptible cells, contribute to genomic instability in surviving cells, impose Darwinian sel...

mediciNe & HealtH/RHode iSlaNd the long-term objeCtIve of our reSearCh program is to understand how bile acid homeostasis is regulated in physiological as well as pathological conditions, with a focus on the transcriptional regulation of the bile salt export pump (BSEP). As one of the major constituents of bile, bile acids were once considered bodily waste with no useful functions. Now it is we...
متن کاملBile acids, but not neutral sterols, are tumor promoters in the colon in man and in rodents.
Analysis of the etiologic factors and relevant mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis leads to a classification of agents involved in the carcinogenic process as genotoxic or epigenetic. Their mode of action is distinct, especially with regard to dose-response effects and reversibility. The genotoxic carcinogens for colon cancer are unknown, but mutagenic components found in fried beef and fish ...
متن کاملThe relationship between bile acid concentration, glucagon-like-peptide 1, fibroblast growth factor 15 and bile acid receptors in rats during progression of glucose intolerance
BACKGROUND Recent studies show that bile acids are involved in glucose and energy homeostasis through activation of G protein coupled membrane receptor (TGR5) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR). A few researches have explored changes of TGR5 and FXR in animals with impaired glucose regulation. This study aimed to observe changes of plasma total bile acids (TBA), glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1), fib...
متن کاملShort-Term Circadian Disruption Impairs Bile Acid and Lipid Homeostasis in Mice
BACKGROUND & AIMS Bile acids are physiological detergents that also activate nuclear receptors to regulate glucose and lipid homeostasis. Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1), the rate-limiting enzyme that converts cholesterol to bile acids, is transcriptionally regulated by bile acids and circadian rhythms. Fasting, nutrients and the circadian clock critically control hepatic bile acid and lipi...
