Gut microbe plays key role in development of some breast cancers ANI | Updated: Jan 10, 2021 20:34 IST
Washington [US], January 10 (ANI): A recent study has found a new microbe in the colon which is generally associated with the development of colon cancer and colitis along with playing an important role in the development of some kinds of breast cancer. Short-term exposure to B. fragilis toxin leaves a lasting impression in cells, increasing the risk for cancer.
According to new research from investigators with the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. Breast tissue cells exposed to this toxin retain a long-term memory, increasing the risk for disease.
Gut Microbe may Hold Potential in Treating Breast Cancer by Angela Mohan on January 7, 2021 at 3:45 PM
Colon microbes may play a role in the development of some breast cancers, according to new research from investigators with the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.
In a series of laboratory experiments, researchers discovered that when enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) was introduced to the guts or breast ducts of mice, it always induced growth and metastatic progression of tumor cells. A description of the work is published in the journal
Cancer Discovery.
While microbes are known to be present in body sites such as the gastrointestinal tract, nasal passages and skin, breast tissue was considered sterile until recently, says senior study author Dipali Sharma, Ph.D., a professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
