Abstract

ABSTRACTThe microbiota is pivotal in orchestrating the pathogenesis of IBD-associated colorectal cancer (CRC). We recently demonstrated that altered elements in the microbiota of inflammasome-deficient mice drive transmissible inflammation-induced CRC. This microbiota-mediated effect is dependent upon microbiome-induced CCL5-driven inflammation, which, in turn, promotes epithelial cell proliferation through local activation of the IL-6 pathway, leading to cancer development.
